Thanks for posting these, reminded me of Ajax the Great and his half-brother Teucer in the Iliad.

Thanks for the LOS mod information.

I think the addition of the ability to change the visible range in the game would be a great addition, if this is possible with the game engine.

All of us registered in the Ancients tournament are affected similarly by the misconfigured version 1 of the tournament (incorrectly getting the Medieval armies).
Just open the game, and it will end automatically.
Then move on with life (or at least until the Slitherine IT people fix the problem)

The way version 1 of the tournament is going, don't be surprised if round 3 matches up the Venetian 1440 AD list with Egyptian 1276 BC allies vs. Florentines with Sea Peoples/Libyan allies fighting in Egypt circa 1208 BC... Richard, do we treat this errant game the same as the first (accept the game...

Thanks for linking Goldsworthy's video, will watch it.

My condolences as well.

I came across this article that uses different sources for an alternative view of how the Battle of the Granicus (334 BCE) may have occurred: "The Granicus - Alexander's Conquest of Persia, Late May, 334 BCE" - Obscure Battles What do you think? Note: This isn't my website, nor do I know t...

An interesting article discussing the sociological, tactical and technological factors at the battle of Crécy: https://obscurebattles.blogspot.com/2015/03/crecy-1346.html On the website, the writer also discusses many other battles, mainly in the time period from Blenheim (1704) to Omdurman (1898), ...

Thanks, that did the trick.

Possibly associated with a Steam client update today (23 April 2025)? When I start either game in Steam, the screen goes black for a few seconds, does not start, then returns to the Steam client. Other games in my library start without problems, including Slitherine games such as "Pike and Shot...

Thanks for the reply - and their "glass cannon" quality is working as designed.

While searching the forum, I couldn't find the specific "real-life" reason why close-order warbands (average or superior) do not receive the +1 heavy infantry cohesion test (CT) modifier. Is it because they're not considered formally drilled like say, Roman legionaries? In the same way tha...

Same here in Ancients, but Medieval is ok.

Thank you for the information. I doubt any sources I could find would be more comprehensive than yours.

They were probably off pillaging the countryside instead of doing their jobs...
