Thank's a lot Paul. I'll try to do as you say!

I tried to mod the mapview.txt in order to enable the possibility of looking the units from a different and nearer perspective but when I close the modded file it says I'm not authorized to modify it. Does anyone know how to overcome the problem?

Right.
And that's why the game is so interesting!

Thank's for the kind reply. I thought this data should be carefully investigated in order to understand the possible outcome of battles but now I've realized it's more a quick outlook of the overall unit strength. To determine the specific potential of each unit in battle it's better to analyze the ...

Thanks for the hints Gray Fox, but my question wasn't about the combat power of the stack but regarding the way a single unit combat power is initially determined and how it changes when gaining experience or suffering attrition and fatigue. In other words, which is the the equation that gives the f...

Hi all! In the last two days I've hopelessly tried to figure out how: - on the map the "combat power", - inside the battle screen the "combat rating", of each military unit is determined. Is there anyone that is able to explain me which data (attack, defence, effectiveness, experience, hits, etc.) a...

It should be so.
Did the same mistake ...

In a peace only one side can "give", so the 2 clauses must be both to your benefit, so I'm slightly confused here if you say you got metal but lost an objective. Do you still have the save before you accepted the proposal? Possibly. I will look. I am 99.999% certain of what happened though, and the...

Not sure what can be done at the regional level to clarify that, you have at some point to perform some analysis, if you want to optimize. It means checking the trade panel of the region, the trade goods that are in need or provided. Checking the trade overlay to spot the most dire lacks. Checking ...

Don't bother Pocus, we'll survive anyway!

But just to know, the problem is affecting only the Ptolemaic faction or also the other nations suffer the same problem?

Maybe it would be interesting to have random decisions, where on one hand you can get something really valuable but, on the other hand, also risking something different as an outcome ... So why not: "Kill your ruler": if you are able to make the plot succeed a new ruler will be crowned but, if you f...

In fact, having a check at the game, where I'm playing as the Ptolemaics too, I noted that at the moment I have only 4 stoas and, yet, at every turn my economy got crushed.

Maybe is really a bug affecting this faction ...

Thanks for the tip.

I probably didn't realize how many stoa were present because some of them were already built in newly conquered regions ...

It is some turns I'm loosing lot of money because the merchants operating in Stoa are too rich. Tried to disassemble 3 or 4 Stoa but the problem is still there. Does anybody know how many Stoa can be built before they begin to crash your economy? Is it a fix number or is it proportional to the natio...

Sorry to disagree but the "Merchants and Patricians" decision is one of the most useful in the entire game, expecially for all the nations that got penalties in manpower. On the other hand "Land Tax Law" and "Gather food from the land" seem pretty useless. But, to say the truth, the real problem in ...

Thank's for the quick fix!

When I try to enter in the Multiplayer section of the game a panel appears saying that a newer version of the game is available and that I have to update the game in order to play in multiplayer. This is obviously false because no new version has been released and my game is updated to the newer ver...

I think ancients wargaming hugely undermodels the importance of evasion, skirmishing, ambushing foragers, etc, and I would love to see it featured more heavily in the game. Not just Fabius and Vercingetorix but also Jugurtha, Maurice's Strategikon, du Guesclin, and pretty much every commander of an...
