Thanks Pocus for taking the time to answer, I know you are busy with the new game, which I can't wait to play. But especially because I want FOGK to be better than FOGE, and more importantly, not worse in any way, here are my thoughts on this issue: Sorry, it did not work out as well as I thought [....

Thank you guys for taking the time to share your opinions on the issue I raised. I really appreciate it. Perhaps keep the +5% commerce bonus (or lower it to 4% to slightly tone down the effect), While your solution (manpower penalty) might fix the game balance, it does not fix the fact that the incr...

A bit late to ask, but is the food amount needed for population increase still dependent not only on the current region population, but also on the population the region had at the start of the game? At game start the initial population of each region is used to determine how easy it will be to grow...

It seems the Salt Marsh description says "limited to coastal march" (as answered by another user on Steam), so you are right. Thanks.

I have multiple swampy marshes, and in none I can build Salt Marsh (it is not in the Agricultural "Available structures"), which I greatly need for producing salt. Why? https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1880832355516089377/2E787F234609815AAA39E64C816909280B4E146D/?imw=5000&imh...

I trust you if your experience in MP says that Greeks nations can roll over others because of the Stoa, I'll probably nerf it some then. Awesome, thanks. It would make non-Greeks viable to play again (for me at least). Removing the 5% nation-wide bonus, or at least lowering it to 1%, or similar, sh...

Thanks for the clarification. And what is the chance for the crash to happen? Still NumberOfStoas% ? (so I can calculate the end-profit) The end result is still that Greeks have huge amounts of money by turn 100 or so (10,000 to 20,000 money, even with these crashes), and 2000 CP army. No gamer can ...

Thanks Pocus, but loosing 100-200 Money every 5 turns or so, is like non-existent when you gain additional +2000 money each turn (if you double your 2000 money income with just 20 Stoa, with 20x1% crash chance). I do not think these Stoa were that powerful in reality, even if they resemble somehow t...

Thanks vonSchlausewitz, I did not know about this building, since I haven't played Greek nations. So it seems the Diplomacy panel info is false, since it shows 5% under "An empire of wealth" instead of, say 50% (if you have 10 Stoa). It makes sense now. PS: Aethiopia captured some regions ...

Hi guys, I've tried to understand how some players managed to increase their Money Income to HUGE sums, but I do not understand the following (calculated from info in the diplomacy panel): 1. in MP match "Succession wars", Athenae (played by jorgefano) has +4500 Money per turn, mostly beca...

Carlus Magnus [..] I don't know why I read it though. Is this a new new game clue? IF the answer is you read it when you worked for the new game research, it would mean that Charlemagne's reign (800 – 814 CE) intersects the new game's time range ;) PS: correct is " Carolus Magnus " btw :D

choose between doing the next game or improving the previous I definitely chose doing the next game, not because I want new mechanics (which I do, but only IF they make the game more realistic), but because I do not want current mechanics to be broken (again). I certainly appreciate that Pocus said...

1. what is "auto mp login script"? I open game, press MP, it asks for user+password (which are already filled), and just press login button.
2. Steam

I think I found the cause for the Mismatch warning message: vonSchlausewitz is right. So before I reinstalled the game yesterday (as mentioned above), I definitely got the 2nd (with the option to cancel) message (not sure if sometimes also the 1st, but usually I remember I got the 2nd). BUT: after t...

Yes, there is no error, or there is one, but in the initial data which were not revised. The initial design from a while back (speaking of 2017/2018 data) was to give to minor nations almost all regions around them, in an attempt to help them pose a threat to major nations. Obviously the method had...

I have checked all my 12 MP games, and the Mismatch warning message appears only in the matches with YES: Big Deals: NO Wild_East: NO Succession wars: YES Roman Republic Roleplay: YES Wild_West: NO La legion perdida: NO La caida de Roma: YES COLOSSUS: YES no dlc: NO SPQR: YES No major players or gre...

I posted my answer in a a topic I created before, about this specific issue. Pip, please read my answer here, as I am interested in this topic and do not want it to lose focus.

There are checks in place which would warn other players if someone were modding the game in any way. Hi Pip, that warning is basically appearing in every single MP turn I play, to all the players. Since it seems it is always a "false-positive" (as no cheater has been identified), all pla...

What however is impossible is that the 3 iberian non-objective starting regions have also been converted to objectives. vonSchlausewitz is basically right, though not impossible: Irish could have lost those 3 starting regions and got objectives on them and re-conquered them. @IrishGuards: can you c...

send a screenshot of your nation with objectives shown (there is a filter for that), I just took the print-screen and posted it in the other topic. Please check it here . PS: As a programmer, I find it hard to believe the devs have not added any quick way to enter (or check the state of) any MP mat...
