Re: Congratulations and suggestions #2

There are still a lot of bugs. Have had a lot of overwatch mixups happen. Not clear if facing does anything more than allow counterattack. Flamers often feel like a huge step backwards, especially on heavy units. You give up range and damage just for the ability to kill squishy units. Haven't found ...

end game summary?

I am now at 191 bc on the Grand Campaign, which says it goes to 190 bc . . . is there some sort of victory screen or something that is supposed to show up?

I would love a key binding for Next Region - cycling through 160 regions gets really old with a mouse.


But awesome game!

Re: Good army composition for broken terrain?

For Rome you want the Medium infantry, or mercenaries or Aelie heavy infantry. Phalanxes suffer too much in the scrub. It can be brutal if they are in a marsh with a high level general, unless they are just really small its hard to grind them down. Often its better to retreat and let them charge out...

Re: slave re-organization

FYI I just did this again in a new game. While I can see slave were moved around, I have checked every message setting (in Hi/Med/Low and all, and in all categories) and there is no message that this has happened. I do get a message that a non-slave market region sent a slave somewhere, but no menti...

? decisions bug

I have noticed that a number of my Decisions list a base option (300 metal sold for xxx gold) but the actual check box shows multiples of that (600 metal sold for 2xxx). I haven't tried picking them when I lacked those amounts because I am afraid of going bankrupt (ie. I want to buy it for 150 but t...

slave re-organization

I had the decision available that allows me to move slaves around. I clicked it, but when the next turn came nothing happened. And now its gone. How do I move slaves around as my one slave market is filling up?

Re: Pyrrhus Scenario - Rome at War with Senones or Tarentum?

Yeah, its confusing. Especially since you get invaded by Terentum on turn 2. While all the "advice" blathers on about leisurely building an army to attack the north.

Re: harvest resources?

Why not change the color of the bonus when you are getting it? If x color always meant you have the bonus active it would really simplify things. Currently you have to just trial and error and run the math just to sort out what changed, as there is no visually obvious way to tell if a tile is giving...

Re: harvest resources?

Hmmm, so supposedly you get the % bonus from the special tile adjacent, you don't get the % bonus from the fortress tile, and you also get the surround tiles % bonuses as well. Wow, none of that is intuitive or explained well in the game or manual!

harvest resources?

I am confused as to what the Fortress of Redemption does as far as resources. If i move onto a tile, it becomes an outpost and I get the resource. But the description of the Fortress makes it sound like it gathers more resource or something. I can't figure it out. Certainly its a good pillbox. But d...

Re: Emergency Supply and Airstrike cost

I thought the airstrike was 600? And they both have cool down delay, I think 3 turns for airstrike and 2 turns for ES.

Re: FOBs

I agree, the lack of easily accessible unit cost is bizarre in a game that is all about cost/benefit analysis.

Re: so is MOAB bugged?

Well I did notice that by the end of the game a few of the multi-red hexes had coalesced into a single slightly redder hex. Which did seem to be a cave(spawn point). So I could post sentry on that area, but didn't really see anything else to do (beyond wasting another MOAB on it).

so is MOAB bugged?

Ok, so I spent 4,000pp to drop MOAB on 4 taliban units. Nice animation but no damage was done to any of the units? Either its bugged OR there is yet another undocumented feature (I notice the units were all on one side of a ridge and MOAB drop was on the other side, so is there a physics overlay to ...

Re: ? DLC activated

So the answer is (as already posted), look to top right corner of main menu to see what DLC is active in your game. My DLC is not installing so I am still working with tech support to figure out why not (even though I am getting the "its installed" message from the program).

Re: Friendly Fire

Yup, seems to be part of the game. Which means in some cases you can hide behind asteroids. Ship debris I am less certain on, they seem "real" for the first turn after a ship breaks apart but after that they become intangible (or at least the hit box shrinks compared to the visual represen...

This COULD be a great game, but I am spending/wasting hours trying to get through the tutorial because there is NO information on what anything is or how it works. 1.

oh, the wheel button seems to be "move here". The star button is "move back to HQ" (not the closest fob though, as I recall from tutorial).

I agree. I just bought the game and its not clear to me what the helmet button does. I was able to randomly figure out that the rocket launcher button is actually a mine detector. I read through the manual but they don't explain any of the button symbols. Nor does the manual explain how to pick up s...
