I've had one of my own Fragmented knight units routed by peasants before (hides face in shame).

I did some quick testing, and indeed higher difficulty does seem to provide your opponent in Epic battles additional forces.

During a preview stream of the Angevin campaign I had a bit of an odd battle. The map was an unusual one, which featured a large mountain completely dominating the left side of the map. Naturally, I anchored my left flank on the mountain. The AI Welsh, however, seemed to be unaware of the mountain, ...

Any thoughts about creating a stationary unit with the same effect as the Standard Wagon, and calling it a "Baggage Camp?" Make it a juicy target somewhere behind the opponents' lines?

I just played the Hastings scenario last night, as the English. I lost the battle due to 60% rout-age, but may have won the war ... thanks to a lowly fyrd spearman, William of Normandy will never be king!

Basic FoG will do.

No the dialogue seems to be fixed, its the open hexes actually being water hexes that is the issue.

The Dragon Isles map is still bugged in the latest patch, same exact issue.

Here is the generated bug report: https://we.tl/t-lHPoQUya5j

I've run across a very buggy map in the "The Dragon Isles" mission of Empire Aflame. Many hexes that look like open terrain are in fact water terrain. The image here is but one example, the map is actually peppered with these mismatched hexes. Not only is this making movement difficult, but Lizard a...

Given that a big part of player enjoyment comes from building better units over a series of multiple scenarios, *permanently* losing an experienced/expensive unit (that you have invested a lot of time/energy into) due to mechanic like this is a *horrible* design decision because the player could no...

Preach! Spread the word and leave a Steam review, more converts are always welcome!

Hmmm, in the 310 scenario it is a Wonder that Rome starts with, which is why I didn't put it in the Guide. But yeah, Rome gets to build it in the 550 scenario, so perhaps I'll have to add it now ...

Anyways, as I recall it is a Tier I Military structure, so the option to build it should pop up soon.

"No oasis" is an impediment, IIRC! So probably a bug?

Bridge is Tier II. Looks like you are only at Tier I Infrastructure there. Other Tier I possibilities: Copper Mine (requires Copper), Expert Stonecutter (requires Rough), Iron Mine (requires Iron), Lead Mine (requires Lead), Sawmill (requires Forest), Tin Mine (requires Tin). Quarry requires Rough, ...

In my experience, what makes the Decadence system seem solvable is the national decision that comes up from time to time that allows you to cut your government age by 1/3. Experienced players know that that decision choice should taken each and every time it pops up. And it seems to come just enough...

Just to give you all a heads up ... my Steam Guide, Grognerd's Guide to Structures, Trade Goods, and the Economy, has been updated to reflect the new content brought by today's Persia DLC! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1796786043 New entries of note: Guard Tower (Military I)...

Yep agreed, this is one of the most awesome improvements from today's patch!

In-game private messaging! Followed by in-game private messaging. And then, allowing replacement players to step in to a quitting players spot. Or even take over an AI position, for that matter. As to arbiter, would be ok as an option I guess. Such an arbiter could handle player replacement issues m...
