One of my games in round 4 of the Holiday tournament ended with a score of 31% for schmolywar and 8% for me after running the full 24 turns. The screenshot was taken from the review after the last turn, Screen_00000138.jpg This games result is currently recorded with a score of 83 to 8 in the tourna...

EDIT: Report partially in error, see below. I was playing in the tournament match last night when I noticed that I couldn't save my turn to the server. The game tried for 20 seconds then gave me an error message. I tried it two or three times then noticed that my ISP was having a problem and I did n...

The independant attack from Baetica to Bastetania has been fought to a draw after a 14 turn battle.

Hi Well I am now 5 or so turns from the designated 16 turn end of my battle with Varity (I have the slow pike heavy Ptolemaics, he the Cavalry and skirmish heavy Carthaginians). To no one's great surprise, least of all mine, he has placed his infantry line near the back of the map around rough terr...

Is it possible for Carthage to launch an attack from Bastetania to Edetania, even if Bastetania is currently being attacked? If yes, Carthage will commence the attack.

The council of elders of the Carthaginian Republic is pleased to annouce the great victory of Boetharch Fuabal over the misguided resistance to lawful Carthaginian rule over Sardinia. The hill tribes native to the region have been pacified and may now anticipate a bright future wherein they will gre...

The Carthaginian Republic builds paved roads.

I've played several battles against the AI set on 14 turns and they fared well. There is anyway plenty of time for maneuvering and flanking the opponent's army, while casualties can easily arrive to a percentage of 40 or 45. Horse shooting armies may have a little initial advantage given their supe...

Following a suggestion of Aryaman, I think that we could finally close the question between 76mm and Varity implementing the rule that: - when the two commanders agree to a draw, - or if there has been no close combat in the first 6 turns and the attackers calls off his attack, the attacking nation...

The game (and this campaign) does not have the strategic layer to address these nuanced battle results you're describing, so one just has to accept as stroke of fate the meeting of the two armies in any particular battleground and the unexplained need for a decisive battle there. An abstraction, lik...

I need a rules clarification please: My opponent in Aetolia is running to put his entire hoplite force into a large body of woods. That's fine, he's entitled to run away if he thinks he is outclassed. But that said, surely there must be some cost for him doing so--for instance if the enemy army sim...

I'm open to adopting the new rules. We are still in week 1 of a very long campaign, so I'm not even concerned if transitioning to the new ruleset were to put me at a disadvantage. There are number of things that I don't yet understand, however: 1. How long are the turns going to be? What happens whe...

Who should be setting up the battles, the attacker or the defender?

Apologies if I've missed the relevent section, but if eveyone is announcing their turn details on the thread doesn't that give the advantage to those who delay reporting until others especially their near neighbours have announced their actions. This seems to negate any concept of strategic securit...

Carthage builds temple, academy and fleet in province BLR (Baleares).

Carthagean forces then launch amphibious assault from BLR to SRD.

They are not an asset that has to be built in every single province but regards the nation in his entirety (its a sort of abstractions), which means that you have to build them only once. The same is for academies, temples and sanctuaries. Only fleets and fortifications pertains to single provinces...

This looks interesting!

I'd like to play, my preferences are:

1. Carthaginians
2. Graeco Bactrian
3. Pontic
