Building a Second Palace

OK, how do I make this happen? I have played this game since 2019 and done many campaigns, yet I have never achieved getting a second capital to my knowledge. Clearly it has not been really high priority for me, but I'm in a situation where I want to try it.

Re: FIELD OF GLORY KINGDOMS

Pocus, after watching the video posted before Christmas it seems Kingdoms is really coming along, and I am very excited for it. :D After watching the video I had a few questions. 1) I noticed the long campaign ends at 1274. Does that correspond to any particular event? In other words, how did you ch...

Re: Beseiged Force Escaping

I’m glad this is being addressed, but how does that fix the issue? Does that simply force a battle impulse 1? If they lose I assume they remain in garrison?

Re: Blockades and Troop Movements

Thanks for the answer Pocus. Would an army that invaded Thrace from Troad and lost fall back in the water, or retreat to Troad?

Blockades and Troop Movements

Are land troops able to enter a sea space that is blockaded? Is it just blocked, or do they have to fight through it? Related question: Troad is blockaded, can land units cross into Thrace? Typically it appears you can cross the water without being in a transport, but I’ve never confirmed if an enem...

Beseiged Force Escaping

I have seen this happen one other time within 6 months of this game coming out, but don't recall seeing it after various updates. In short I have Athens completely blockaded with idle fleets, and besieged with a large army (40+ units total). I split the army to withdraw about 10 units to recover in ...

Hot Join for PBEM Server

I think that it could add to the game experience to allow "hot" joins for certain PBEM games. A game I play in particular is FOG: Empires, and it can allow up to 16 players. I had a recent example where a noob player accidentally "retired" from a game well in progress. They didn'...

Re: Help with Accidental "Retire"

Thanks Pocus, I figured that was going to be the answer, but I thought I would ask. The only thing that even gave me a glimmer of hope was that he was still listed in the game under "idle" status. I will go ahead and post the request as you suggest. While the need for hot joining has not b...

Help with Accidental "Retire"

So I am playing in a MP game, and one of the players is a noob. He was having issues submitting his turn the other day, and apparently he was experimenting with different options. I started chatting with him on why he is listed as "idle" and I FINALLY figured out he pressed the "retir...

Re: Newer version of the game

Well I will throw a small wrench in here because I don't use Steam for Empires, and I appear to be getting the same message this morning. I have Empires installed on both computers and I am getting the same message. I was playing both a multiplayer and single player game last night with no issue. No...

Re: 3218 hours in and my first real game gripe- fall back blocking

From what i have read fall back blocking is NOT intended to work in FOG2, but RBS has been reluctant in the past to change it due to potential unintended consequences. The TT version of FOG has no fall back blocking...in fact it is penalized. It's penalized in other TT ancients rules as well. RBS ap...

I have also had this issue as well. It seems to be better once I downloaded the "mods" (script files from Pocus as a manually applied patch). There is a mod for Admin Burden, and Trading Factors, as well as one about ships. Here is the admin burden fix link and the other 2 mods are in thre...

Re: 3218 hours in and my first real game gripe- fall back blocking

I don't post much, but I saw this thread and couldn't resist. I encountered fallback blocking over a year ago, and I despised the tactic so much that I responded to this thread http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=477&t=92320#p788916 ! There are some good ideas on solutions to prevent...
