I enjoyed my Rhodus playthrough. Went for Cretan archers and then those snazzy infantry in the middle of Asia Minor (Galatians??).

All I have is the start turn. I'll try playing through again and see if it happens and keep the save for you.

I've seen Romans do odd things. They are very fast.

I thought I'd try Syracuse, on Difficult. It's turn 24 and for the last 22 turns, Carthage has plunked an ever growing army outside the city. I can't attack it. But they never attack me. They've broken through the 3 layers of walls and still just sit. Is this normal? Is it the difficulty level that ...

My game as Sparta was probably the most enjoyable one so far. It was slow going at start, mostly just building and surviving. I worked at forming the initial province (I forget the name, but had to gain the adjacent regions.) My first real goal was Crete (2 island regions + 1 set of islands north of...

Actually, a serious question about that Academy:

It adds +1 to the leader pool. If I build 3 of them in various places, does that add +3 leaders to my pool?

To get more leaders, build military academies!

Okay, oh Devisor-of-the-Shuffled-Building-System, when one comes up I will! We've heard tell of these mythical buildings...

It's about turn 150. Around turn 100 we gained our first sandle-hold in Asia Minor. We just formed the Galatian province and raised the first formations of the famed Galatian Heavy Infantry to form the core of our 3 armies bound for world conquest! Woohooo!!! Now...if I JUST had a leader with an act...

Thought maybe it was my leader, but no. And, as I have said, it has been the entire game.

Am playing Rhodus. My national traits say I should have +2 leaders in my pool. But for the entire game so far, I've never even had one extra. Is this some sort of glitch?

Traits:
The actual pool:

Could you include a list of provincial units with your pdf version? It does have some bearing on what building(s) you might want to build once you get to a province.

I did really well with them: top of legacy and CDR by about 150 turns. I nabbed the nearby regions and formed a first province. Yes, Athens was impossible to take. I left it and I think it was Antigonus who took it and then I took it from him eventually. I tried to just build up for quite a while af...

Spartan phalanxes + Cretan archers as support.

Oh, I know that. I just found it humourous that he was the starting leader. Nowhere to go but up from him!

Not an easy start! Like the Spanish need any more hits to loyalty! As others have asked, please add in a 'leader assassination' choice!! 8) (Or at least have him send out invites! :wink: ) It does, however, definitely change the start of your game! It maybe would be nice if there was some sort of co...

Playing Rhodus. The northern islands. They will never benefit from bonuses because they are surrounded by seas, correct? The two sections of Crete can only 'bonus' each other, but will never benefit from bonuses otherwise because they are surrounded by seas, correct? 05 Isles of Rhodus.jpg What abou...

I think the point is: 8.2.1. Gaining Legacy Legacy is gained from: ww Having regions with over 2,500 culture points per turn; ww Having regions with between 1,250 and 2,499 culture points per turn; But when you look at the screen, it's 1000+. Just a number that needs changing in the manual and the w...

Trying Rhodus. Am about 15 turns in. I've managed to nab both sections of Crete and now have the famed Cretan Archers (well, a whopping 3 of them)! I had disbanded my regular infantry a few turns earlier because my manpower was crashing. And got rid of original skirmishers as well. My army consists ...

If I save just before entering an enemy region, if I reload that save, do the combat dice rolls remain the same? (Like save-scumming in XCom?) Or will the rolls be new ones and my results possibly different?

Finally I see the msg! (I never noticed the msg thing at the bottom left of the screen! )
