I tried Syracusae again on Very Hard and repeated my 7th place finish. Persia and Egypt held the top two positions as usual. I concentrated on Culture for the special Legacy buildings, but that wasn't any better than before. I has tons of Culture buildings at my capitol yet never saw the Status of Z...

The pirates didn't stand a chance when they invaded Melita because the never left their ships.

I just finished a Persian scenario as Syracusae with Tarentum as a client-state on Very Hard and finished in 7th place. I know from experience that Persia, Egypt and Sparta are the favourites. I tried to play Syracusae small, without 20 regions to become "empire". I read that there were several Hell...

Isolationist increases Decadence from conquests by 50%. Is creating a trading colony via Implant Trade Settlements count as a "conquest".

I just finished a Balanced game as Samnium finishing fourth, which I am pleased with. Persia was first, Egypt second (even though they had been eliminated), and Sparta third. I'm trying Syracuse on Very Hard to see what I can do. Kolchis is next.

As I say, I didn't have any for a long time and last night I received five.

I am going to try your army mix in my MP game to see how it fares.

I had a drought period of a couple of weeks. Now I am getting them in the same frequency as before. It made me wonder if there was a problem or if there were national modifiers as I just started playing Samniums.

Vaalen, how do you take walled cities when your armies don't have any regular infantry besiegers?

OK, I finally received one. It was a long time coming.

What ever happened to the Art of Siege regional decision? I haven't seen one since the last update.

I am playing Armenia in a 4-player MP game and I am having fun as be successor neighbours are tied up with wars. I have also been able to come in third with Armenia in solitaire play under an AI difficulty level of very hard. It was the first nation that I have played with missions, which adds a lot...

The last update included Egyptian names. Here is a link to the List of Pictish Kings, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ ... _the_Picts, which would be a great addition to the next release.

Pictish Skirmishers have a ranged attack value of 4, which gives them a support value of +1. Their neighbours (Hiberni, Brigantes, and Britonae) all have skirmishers with a ranged attack value of 5, which gives them a support value of +2. This is a significant advantage. Is there a historical justif...

Which nations have missions; not objectives? I've seen them with Carthage, Armenia and Rome. Who else has them, as they add to the game?

If you play a secondary or tertiary nation then placing first is almost impossible against the likes of Rome, Persia or Egypt. I consider placing in the top three a win if I am not playing a favoured nation. I am playing on the Insane level. Anyone else think that way?

FOGE is a new AGEOD game engine that is head and shoulders above the older version. I would love to see the English Civil War or the Thirty Years' War as the next release using Pike and Shot Campaigns as the tactical battle system. I've played a couple of 3-player MP games, and I am currently playin...

If my opponent has a treasure trove of resource points then I tend to leave the 1-2 pointers around so that they are not just immediately replaced with a 10-pointer.

Thanks.

I am playing Arabia and there is a Leader Quality Penalty of 3, caused by a national Low Military Experience. I have only had 0-0, 1-0 and 0-1 leaders so far. I am assuming that since the best possible leader is 2-2 (for a total of 4) that the best Arabia can hope for is a leader with a total o 4 -3...
