Let’s make it the defender. (Unless the rules state differently.)

One question to determine before we get there is when in the battle setup this choice is made - in particular, before or after the roll for terrain.


I’d say after the roll of terrain. Because otherwise the choice of allies can easily backfire, which defeats the purpose of it being beneficial of ...

Etruscan I: Pisae
Etruscan II: Clusium

... So now it's time for Year 2 and its Planning Season, and the Momentum Diplomacy. Romans, victorious last year, go first doing all their Momentum Diplomacy rolls. Good luck but not too much good luck. :)

The Major Faction with the most Momentum goes first conducting all its Diplomacy rolls (if ...

Rules updated to v0.99: [LINK]

In Planning Season conducting diplomacy phase what is the diplomacy order?
Do we conduct our all 3 diplomacy actions first then Etruscans do their 1 or is it 1 Roman, 1 Etruscan, 2 more Roman?


=> " The Major Faction with the most Momentum starts, conducting its Diplomacy (if equal, Romans are ...

What a year! Saw a lot of dramatic twists and turn, with the Etruscans starting off on a strong note but the Romans kicking back with a vengeance. When the dust settled at the end of the campaign season in the first year, one Etruscan Army has been annihilated, two Cities have swapped, and another ...

Etruscan Operation #10
Sole remaining Army is in supply. Attempting siege again, one final time...
8, modified by Army is Weakened: -1, Large City: -2, previous attempts +7 = 12 => Clusium falls (finally!) to the Etruscans. => +1 Momentum gained.

OK, my bad: sorry. Here's an updated map.

Check so that this map makes sense and is correct.

Roman 9th Operation. Both armies are in supply.
City Diplomacy to Cosae.
Rolled 10, +3 momentum, +2 from both Roman armies= 15 Cosae is now friendly Roman city


Congrats! Romans are in a good flow (bad from the Etruscan perspective). :)

Question. not that it matters in this situation, but in ...

Etruscan Operation #8. Sole remaining Army is in supply. Attempting siege again... 6, modified by Army is Weakened: -1, Large City: -2, previous attempts +5 = 8 => Still no effect.

Over to the Romans.

With this round and year concluded, DIVM exits the fight over the spoils. dragmio too, since he has been absent for months now and his sole satrapy is distributed to Aetius the zero-eyed at the Partition of Stockholm.

1. carpenkm (2000 FP) attacks Aetius39 (2000 FP), using the army of Indike, in Hyrkania (13). => Aetius39 wins 44-14 (+30).
2. Aetius39 (1920 FP) attacks DIVM (2000 FP), using the army of Kilikia, in Phrygia (3). => Aetius39 wins 60-51 (+9).
3. kronenblatt (2000 FP) attacks Aetius39 (1960 FP), using ...

Roman gods were with us in the battle. Almost as soon as the main battle line clashed, Etruscans failed most of their morale checks and battle was over. 17 vs 42 Roman victory.
Etruscan army is destroyed. Roman momentum is at 3.
Over to Etruscans.


Congrats to the victory! Does the Etruscan ...

You can’t combine existing riders from the base game with your “warg”?

Roman 1st Army moved by road to Cosae. Rolled more than 2*Threshold for 4 times.
Holding move at 1 hex SE of Cosae to see if Etruscan army intercepts.

Yes, Etruscan Army intercepts and hopes for the best.

I see there's a mod here that said it changed the way the game handles turns, so that you can have more than one per year. That mod is dead though, or at least the Google drive link is dead (TWiNM mod). Can anyone tell me how to alter the turns per year to either 4 per year or otherwise? i want to ...
