Well, sadly I have to say that not everything seems fine either with the Medieval Ranking system... I had a ranked mirror battle against Sivula of which I have won a battle quite decisive 5% to 67% using the regular rules. But in his final turn Sivula told me that it was not possible for him to fini...

The ranking in Medieval seems to work for me so far.

Oh ok, so this can happen sometimes?

I played a regular multiplayer mirror battle against mr cholo (not ranked and playing Greek (Mercenary) vs Samnite) and while one battle could be completed without issues, the other battle is lost for me, but it is not possible to upload it. What is worth mentioning here is that the replay of the tu...

It is fairly clear that the PBEM code for determining Elo rank changes is not working as intended. We are assisting the PBEM programmer to fix the issue(s). (It was tested in the open beta test, but if it wasn't adjusting the scores correctly, nobody pointed it out) I also took part in the Open Bet...

Jorgito78 now also confirmed to me that he in fact lost the battle against heidipie, but still got a score of 1015 while heidipie only has 985 despite winning. Thanks. Can you list the rout %ages in any of the games? Yes of course. In the first one that ended I won with 7% losses as Carthaginians w...

I won all 4 quite decisive by the regular victory conditions.

I just won 4 battles against vanilorus in Ancient FoG2, but the ranking page shows him with 1060 and me with 940. Does that mean that now a lower number is a better sign? How did you manage to win 4 games in the hour since the previous problem was fixed? Or did you actually win them previously when...

I don't think that is entirely unreasonable for this particular unit as they are unlikely to have to fight hand to hand and the unit is not rated as swordsmen - whearas the others you refer to are. I already thought about this after posting... So yes, you are surely right, but still it kooks quite ...

I have noticed that the "Skoutatoi and Archers" model from the later byzantine list, more specifically the archer units are not using any weapon in close combat. I am not sure if this is intended, but for me it looks quite strange, especially because other massed archers also use a sword i...

Sadly, remote play together is also very laggy even I have a very good internet connection.

- a direct multiplayer modus Steam Remote Play Together could be tried as a direct multiplayer mode as FOGII has hotseat game mode. The downside is that one may not conceal their troops in hotseat mode. Thank you for this advice, I will try this soon. But still, I think a true direct multiplayer op...

- New cataphract models fitting the different nations - An alternative list for the sassanids with cataphract archers (like in the TT Mod) - The addition of a greek fire unit - More diverse look for the Dark Age/Early middle age armies, also mentioning Carolingian-style models ...but in the end I ca...

Maybe a bit late to answer on this Topic, but anyways, "What do you hope to see added before Fog II ends?" From most to least important: - a direct multiplayer modus - 2 vs 2 (and other) for battles - further polishment of the mechanics while keeping the focus on historical accuracy - addr...

I am also very interested in a direct multiplayer feature and a co-op mode or a general 2 vs 2 modus.

As far as I have heard this features are already noted on their wishlist, but I may be wrong. Anyway, it would be marvelous to see this features getting reality.

If you have questions or comments on what is actually in the game, I'll be happy to answer them also :) @ Pocus: I'm a bit confused now... :? Won't it be possible to fight FoG Empires multiplayer campaign battles through FoG2 against Campaign opponents? It was actually the most important feature fo...

Overall, are cavalry too highly priced at present? Cavalry armies don't seem to do too well in open tournaments. I think that veteran byzantine lancers are too high priced at this moment. They cost 72 points while a armoured noble lancer only costs 64 points having the same stats, only missing 50% ...

I didn't find Xystophoroi in Arab lists.

@melm: There are Xystophoroi in the current nabataean list. Unfortunately, I am not sure how much sense they make, as also in the Jewish lists.
