The battle scenes do not show us the experience level of the troops involved, as far as I can tell.

Especially if a unit is lost in combat, I want to know what level experience it had. It is terrible to lose veterans, and the way things are now, one never knows.

Think of Britain and its lack of Purple. It would be wonderful to have Purple available in a Region in Britain, but how would it ever get there? If you built a structure that "Needs" Purple, then it would obviously start arriving, but how? It would be a) out of Trade Range and b) highly expensive to...

A Pictes, crouching in his hovel in glens of Caledonia, fantasizes about coining in a mint of money through canny trading. He wishes to scout around and see what the reachable market is demanding, and then construct a building to fulfill these needs and the needs that will likely then follow. How ca...

Quarry -> Small chance of Marble Vein showing up next as a possible build option. So, just try to build as many quarries as you can, hope for the best! Thanks, jimwinsor. So build one quarry, and keep refreshing subsequent build options in that Region till marble appears? To speed the likelihood of...

The Picts started colonizing Africa, and were very short of food. It was very surprising to see that our allies had arrived on our coast with "Supply Ships". They looked like pirate raiders, but were they providing food? How were they constructed? What are the mechanics?

Please help a Marble Maniac in Montrose. In the game in mind, the Picts wish, more than anything else, to create cultural artifacts from marble. What is their best way to start this cultural extravaganza? What should be constructed to find the marble, and what should be constructed once it has been ...

both games and developers used to be based here, and while one stayed, the other left and now both sets of developers are doing a 2nd version https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tt.asp?forumid=1008 Thanks, zakblood. What is the difference between Slitherine and Matrix? Is Slitherine more of a publis...

Panzer Corps II and Unity of Command look very similar. I wonder whether the developers considered collaborating with Croteam and producing a single game instead of two similar ones.

It looks like a lot of the technology used is similar in both games.

glad your sorted and it worked zakblood, thank you for creating this game and for loving it so much you continue to work on it and make it even better! I am greatly enjoying playing little Factions in backwater places on the map and getting to know the world better that way. In a fun multi-player, ...

Thanks for all your work and continuous improvements to this already great fun game. Thank you also for the Cult site in Orcadia, especially since I am in a multiplayer with Orcadia now! :) It would be nice to see some standing stones there. Some feedback: the icon for the launcher for the game, if ...

there is, simply click on 'check for updates' and it all happens ... Thanks, loki100. To see that updater option, start the game using autorun.exe, rather than empires.exe. I am trying to use the automatic updater, and it is failing with the following error message: Error: Unable to download file. ...

SOLUTION: Uninstall game (from default or custom folder). Reinstall using "run as admin". Install patch (as admin if necessary). Downloads are available from your "My Page" at the Slitherine site. There ought to be a tool in the Empires launcher or something to help you download and install newer r...

was this resolved?

Yes, solved as suggested, by reinstalling. Thread is now marked solved.

This issue was resolved by uninstalling then reinstalling the game to the desired custom installation folder, as suggested. Thanks for the help! The 1.04 patch failed to detect that the game was not installed into the default directory. There seemed to be no option to change the installation direct...

If you wish to focus on developing the British Isles, which structures would you build and where would you place them? Olive Oil is useful in many ways, but where is the most reliable, nearby region to source it? Is it worth invading? A remote colony? Would it be worth colonizing a Region in NW Afr...

Better report that to support@slitherine.co.uk, if this is widespread then they will tell the team in charge.

Thanks Pocus, they have been contacted.

Hi guys, Just discovered this nice site, Strawpoll. I felt it can be enlightening to ask you your opinion on a few things: https://www.strawpoll.me/18716870 Thanks for the poll! (And of course, thank you very much for your great game, Pocus!) 1) The following poll site is run by the EU and has a Fr...

Thank you very much! Also, thanks for the efforts at creating the graphics to support the text. If you think of this as a score, it would be worthwhile putting it to music, in otherwords, creating a video with commentary. If you consider editing this later, please consider adding a "tips" section un...

Thanks for the update, rbodleyscott. The ability to scale down the number of units used when exporting battles from Empires to FOGII is most welcome. (If you are playing Empires, you mostly want to keep playing Empires, so smaller battles will enable you to return to Empires more quickly.) Would par...
