Re: Only 5% have created an MP challenge?

sounds good Aetius. You give me hope for MP if I return to it someday. I like doing the campaigns for single player like the historical ones and the custom ones are good too. It is hard sometimes and I lose some battles so I feel it is enough challenge for me. I like the sandbox for trying out armie...

Re: Heavy artillery after the recent patch.

That's too bad. I liked having artillery in the game to add variety. They were virtually useless anyways cause they never do damage so just a visual bit of variety. And I like artillery in the sister games like Sengoku Jidai and Pike & Shot. It is always fun although nearly useless. Historically...

Re: Only 5% have created an MP challenge?

I only tried MP briefly. Single player is so much better. A consistent problem with MP is nobody plays an honest game. They always need the strongest factions and then rush to the best terrain and camp there like hills behind a river. So I am left with a choice: try to fight the strongest faction fo...

Re: Anniversary Coupons Expiration Date?

The coupons don't work. They get stuck in the shopping cart and can't even be removed and screw up every time when I try to buy a game with the same annoying 'shopping cart error'. These coupons are stupid. Slitherine is forcing long time customers to only buy on Steam instead of here.

Re: Slitherine prevents game buying on their site - this site is corrupt

I think it is cause I tried to use a coupon and slitherine wants to prevent me from getting a discount. The coupon runs out after a week maybe so I will just let it go. I was trying to buy Storm of Arrows dlc for Fog Medieval and the new Distant Worlds 2 and Valor & Victory Stalingrad but I can ...

Slitherine prevents game buying on their site - this site is corrupt

Slitherine is running some weird scam that blocks orders on this site. I wanted Storm of Arrows but I will have to do without. I regret buying Fog Medieval now cause it will be unfinished now that Slitherine is blocking me from their site. I got a discount couple - the first one in years - and it lo...

Re: Order of Battle - 9.0.7 Update

Thanks for the download link.
Slitherine is super janky cause the launcher 'check for update' never works for any game plus this OOB base game won't allow me to download patches which is very weird cause it won't give me a serial#. Why not let us download OOB patches on Sltherine like other games?

Re: Mob v Mounted

An idea to pump up the update could be to add in Vietnam campaign vs Mongols, or add in some basic naval combat which is good for the Japan vs Joseon campaign and maybe even Mongols vs Japan and the Gempeii and Sengoku wars used ships too.

Re: What is the AXE good against? (What is it's counter)

I'm not sure. I always think of those weapons as general use in melee with no clear +/- factors. I think the one advantage to them is 1 hand vs 2 hand is a dilemma between shield protection vs extra damage output. Most probably hammers and axes are better against heavy armor while swords and clubs a...

Re: Hannibal Campaign woes and Pontus campaign struggle

Hello Paul. I always set the game to the middle level (I forget name) on static so no AI bonuses I think. The map was very bottle-necked so I had to fight the warbands front to front with no chance at flanking. The mountains were historical so I don't mind them, but I think I my army routed immediat...

Re: Hannibal Campaign woes and Pontus campaign struggle

Paul, I do remember warbands were nerfed just after the game was released. I'm not sure how they evolved after that though. I don't think warbands are tough, but with experience they become combat effective. As for the Hannibal campaign, I may have just played it well the first time. I do remember m...

Re: Hannibal Campaign woes and Pontus campaign struggle

samuel, you tried the Hannibal campaign or Pontus? I think Pontus is winnable but Hannibal campaign was a disaster for me. Ironically, when I played Hannibal when this game was new I was able to enjoy it and planned to replay it again. I think it is a good campaign but the changes over the years to ...
