This allows you to start a Custom Battle in Hotseat mode, do Force Selection and Deployment for the enemy side, then switch to AI mode to fight out the battle. wow the system works! This is a great step forward. I remember asking for this about 2 years ago on this forum and was disappointed that it...

thanks Richard

It doesn't connect to game server no matter how long you leave the message up. I've tried 2 different in...

re Swuuls point Routing rules. Could you exempt superior units and above from this rule and just keep them on the old vanilla rules - So keep routing (is it for 5 turns?) and random attempts to rally if no general attached. - Can rally outside generals command radius? representing greater military e...

what software did you use?

what about a " to the death " general combat. Set up match in sandbox.

More true to the age.

1 unit the same each, say lancer plus general (or HCh in biblical, etc). No terrain.

Charge each other and let the gods decide.

to the victor the spoils!

Try the Ancient British Panzer divisions against the Romans, if you can strip away their cavalry support you can run rings round them with the light chariots combined with max slingers/LC.

Army - Ghaznavid

Richard, thanks for the explanation , makes sense in historical and game situations for playability

Just a thought. So, as I read it, if I have an Huscarl ,armoured, axe against say Norman, armoured, offensive spears. Both superior so ignore that. So impact both would have the same POA and melee the axe 10 POA more. Both armoured, so no one advantaged/disadvantaged POA in armour. If I took, if the...

thanks to graymouser and stefankollers for some potential workarounds.

thanks Richard for the art of the possible

Would it be possible for you to chose and select the composition of your opposition army , deploy it in its best position given the terrain and then let the AI take over the running of the opposition army for the rest of the game? often the AI army composition and deployment can let the game down an...

Had a bit of fun fighting with Arabs and camels recently. I'm sure many others in the recent Assyrian tournament will also have had exposure of them as well. However, I was wondering as, the "ships of the Desert" ,if any thought had been given to camels in Rough terrain. As a "steady platform" could...

Thanks for the match

Division B garymann Arabs defeated Challenge1 Lydians 41-12 Closer and more tense then the score suggests. Ended up with slugfest on arab infantry left on a RGO hill and camels vs hoplites centre! Iain played a stubborn and skillful defense on the hill, finally overcome by the pressure. Thanks for t...

thanks Richard. working now. that's not happened before. One to remember.

I appear to have lost the ability to take screenshots since the latest update? When I press the F2 button, the screenshot flash and shutter noise happens, yet nothing is being saved in the My games/ fieldofglory2/SCREENS folder. Not a problem before?
