Thanks for posting your response! It makes a great deal of sense and as you noted in your post in that thread, there's probably no better way to do it that wouldn't involve a lot of research, guesswork and maybe even some coin flipping :wink:. I missed the original thread which I see was active betw...

I rolled up a random battle (I pretty much exclusively do custom and random battles as my preferred FoGII mode of play) and was somewhat surprised to find a match-up of Arab Abbasid 836-873 versus Serbian 850-1039. I did some Wikipedia checking and found the following articles that referenced the op...

I did a post like this a couple of years ago, so I thought I'd post a new list. The below listing of Army Lists through Wolves at the Gate and the 1.5.25 update is taken from the Slitherine/Matrix product pages, plus changes as noted in the patch readme text. I have *not* validated it against the la...

I've watched the trailer and read the manual but I'm still confused about a few aspects of combat and ship design. Now I believe I understand that I can issue commands to a ship or group of ships, most likely while paused, like Halt, Retreat or Hunt Strikecraft. I can also activate Active abilities,...

I've downloaded the PDF manual and reading through it I've found what appears to be an error on the chart on page 56. The chart has nine columns, which apparently are the type of ship followed by eight columns of attributes. However, the header on the top of the chart lists nine unique attribute col...

I'm just wondering why the Steam page shows January 30th. Does the game just release a week later on Steam? Or is the Steam date no longer accurate?

I think I'm being a bit dim (or not that visual), but all you need to do in the table is to find your current govt and it tells you what can happen if you exit via +5 or -5. Its just I spent an age trying to come up with a graphical representation and it always bogged down into more complexity - th...

have you seen the table in 7.4.4 in the manual - sets out all the possible progression/regression routes? Yes, but I was suggesting something that would provide a graphic representation of a player's current situation and possible paths in the near future, with perhaps an overlap of short term pote...

I got the following image from a video about how to play the game. My apologies to the author, I didn't record which YouTube video from which I got it. My feature request is, could we at some point have this screen in the game but animated/overlaid/whatever to show your current government state and ...

Does having a client state increase decadence? I couldn't find in the manual that it does, but maybe it is more subtle than I thought. By the way, playing as Rome on Balanced, I just moved into a Decadent Empire mode and boom! Lots of usurpers. When this happened last night I almost rage quit, but t...

Gosh, who knew I'd stir up such a hornet's nest? :roll: For my edification, I looked up in the Steam Game Guides Grognerd's Guide to Structures, Trade Goods and the Economy This is what he had to say about Hemp Fields: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/788610108608383607/4A82150954597C6566F...

You might have already seen this, but here it is if you haven't:

Those little units in several of my Roman regions are units of my Ally. Why are they spread in little penny packets all across my empire? Is this a bug or is there some reason I am missing? Thanks!

To quote (my interest is in the italicized part): 5.2.3. Advantages of Provinces A province allows you to pool resources and production across the regions of the province, as well as allowing the option of automating population and building management. In addition to items that are fully pooled acro...

And when it says you make X amount of money plus a bonus of this, this, and that" does that mean that you make X amount of money or X amount of money plus the bonus for a total that is not shown? e.g. you get 9 food there is a bonus of 6 food if you have fish Does that mean you get 9 food in total ...

if you about trade goods - yeah you gain bonus from each good (and for bonus it can be in adjacent region)

Yes, it is about trade goods. Thanks for the answer. It is nice that trade kind of takes care of itself, I could spend a lot of time on it (and probably will sometime).

When it says "Bonus of X units from A (missing), B (missing) and C (not missing), do I get "X" units because I have at least one of the (in this case) three needed items? Do I get (again, in this case) three times X if I had all three needed items, or can I never get more than just the single "X"? T...

So, what does "Min Garrison / POW 10" mean? I saw this when I was mousing over the city in a region. Is the "POW 10" related to "Min Garrison Strength" or mean something else?

Thanks for the replies!
