Re: MP Players Wanted

Well hopefully an official solution will be adopted for Knights in the near future.

Your work around sounds very sensible, but until an official solution is adopted, I guess I'll just put off trying out MP. I'd have enough problems just playing with the regular rules. 😇

Re: MP Players Wanted

Well if knights can run over almost any opposition, in any terrain, then they obviously need adjustment.

IMO, they should be at a disadvantage in forest and mountains at least.

Re: MP Players Wanted

EnglishKnights.jpg This is near impossible to defeat. Impossible to defeat, in any terrain, or just plains? In my game against Experienced AI, I have an army of English foot Huscarls, each Huscarl with a combat rating of 44. I also have knights of course for the flanks and crossbowmen for support. ...

Re: MP Players Wanted

Im curious, are Knights so overpowered that you need to limit them to 6 per army in MP?

You can play the Mongols, or fight in The Hundred Years War. This is a history buffs dream come true.

Re: Manzikert

Thanks for the information. I didn't realize that the 2nd line can randomly decide to join you. It happened in my current game. I haven't finished it yet, but i might actually have a chance now. Manzikert was a disaster for the Byzantines in real life, so it's historically accurate for this battle t...

Oh, I wasn't aware ancients was offered for free before.

The recent Steam Sale of FOG2 Medieval

Recently FOG2 Medieval was offered for free during the Steam Summer Sale. I wonder if this might have been a marketing ploy to introduce people to the game, so as to increase the numbers of possible buyers of a new game, yet to be announced. I never took a marketing class in college, so I might be m...

Need advice on Strategy

In my current campaign I'm playing as England. It's turn 260 and I'm in fifth place in legacy. Seljuks and Byzantines are in 1st and 2nd place. My problem is that I'm having doubts about ever catching either of them in legacy. I'm currently getting about 600 legacy a turn, but both the Seljuks and B...

Re: @RBS: Why squares with HEX oriented rules?

I was around at the time when hex-based games were first invented, solely (at that time) as a way to get round the fact that diagonal moves are longer than orthogonal moves on a square grid. Which caused big problems in manually resolved board wargames. Wow, and I thought I was old. I remember play...

Re: Any tips for Aljubarrota as Castile on Level 3?

Ok I tried it again and while technically I didn't win, ( lost by 1 point on the last turn), I'm pretty sure I could of won if I had played a little differently. It's basically that you have to hope that the French make a hole. Support them with knights as much as you can squeeze them into the Frenc...

Any tips for Aljubarrota as Castile on Level 3?

I've tried it several times. It seems like your only hope, is that the French mercenaries make a gap you can exploit.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Any hints for Paul59's Marsaglia 1693 Savoy side?

I've tried it a few times and keep getting beat. Any hints would be appreciated. The only thing left that I haven't tried, is pulling back my left flank to shorten the line and refuse my left, then launch a attack on the French left at an opportune time, followed up by a mass of my cavalry. But this...

Re: Community Petition to Invest in a Field of Glory III Napoleonic / Renaissance / GNW

I myself am hoping for an early modern 1500 to say 1715.

Though an ancient or medieval far east game wouldn't break my heart.

Either way it would be an automatic buy for me.
