I mean, I think that - is - where the advantage of the massive doomstack really comes into play. Even if your 10-12 front rank infantry get damaged, if you have 10 more, they'll just fill in on the next round of combat. The main weakness of that approach is that it can play havoc with what happens i...

Sadly, I'm starting to see "killer stacks" of ships or troops appearing in the game too often. These massive troop concentrations are, IMHO, skewing the game too much. I know the developers have established a supply system that overall works quite well but does not mitigate army/fleet concentration...

Terrain frontages has been reworked. Part of the slots are now reserved to cavalry, but some terrains are bigger. For example before the patch, plain had a frontage of 12, now it had a frontage of 10+4

Diplomacy no, it will take more time for us to come with something fleshed out enough.

That's a tricky pickle to figure out, no doubt. Fortunately, MP is accessible enough that player-player interaction can provide more variety in that realm.

Indeed, and thanks to Geffalrus for his very nice idea!

Happy to help even a little!

Oh god not this nonsense again.

Military numbers from the Antigonid Information Service: And the Legacy tracker:

Most of the action in the Great Alliance War is now confined to Southern Italy and Illyria. I only grabbed screens of the most recent developments in Sicily, but I'll sum up the rest with the following: - In the aftermath of Rome's Fall, the Carthaginians and Lysimakids attempted a daring deep penet...

Looking at the picture I'd also wonder why you have some skirmishers standing in the rear when the majority of your skirmish line is empty! Archer units always start in the support rank. Skirmishers start in front and then pass through the melee line to take up space in the support rank. It's just ...

His skirmish/support line is full but not optimised. I think you are misreading the screenshot. Yes. One spot is taken by a random normal skirmisher, 2 slots are taken by Elephants, and the other 3 are taken properly by Lydian Archers. That leaves 4 Cilician Archer units not involved in support whe...

Whoops, forgot Rome:
And here is Sarmatia: And here is Dacia and Nubia:

The Eye of the Storm: Lysimakos up to no good I bet: Macedon devouring Epirus, but Morbio has probably escaped this time.

5 - turn map update from NWO.

Arverni expansion underway. The Iberian situation: Carthage:

The attack/defence mechanic is killing combat... Agreed. It forces weird strategic decisions and exacerbates the finicky-ness of how attack/defense gets determined in individual cases. Being at such a disadvantage defensively with most armies where attack values > defense values makes it super anno...

Hey folks. Just checking in to see who's still in the game and who's checked out. I know devon's out (but probably lurking). Desertedfox put up a good fight, but is now in dire straights. I'm engaged in a regular military back and forth with ledo (Carthage), but I just noticed that this turn his mul...

My bad! Didn't know Antigonid could see Seleucid gifts on the map.

I see EVERYTHING on the map. Nothing is hidden from me.
