Army composition and points cap

I find the way the army composition works in the campaign somewhat odd: Started a new campaign, finished the intro battle (exterminate X number of enemy units) and after the first cinematic I used a token to give my sergeant his first ability. So far, so good. In the army composition screen, as far ...

Re: Spanish Civil War -(very) early impressions

Well, I'm preparing for the 4th scenario, breaking the siege. As a reward from the previous battle, I got a hero with the "sixth sense" trait, which means he makes the unit he will be attached to immune to ambush. So, my question is, to what type of unit would you recommend that I assign h...

Re: Spanish Civil War -(very) early impressions

[...] So the fact that he has chosen to dive right into the Spanish Civil War, and seems to be doing decently (winning scenarios, but not quite able to complete every single bonus objective)... Kinda sounds like the design philosophy is working as intended. :D The reason I started with the Spanish ...

Re: Spanish Civil War -(very) early impressions

Was it due to aircraft bombardment? If so, there's an easy solution for the future. You can keep your recon plane over the artillery piece at all times. The AI seems to almost never go for recon planes with their own fighters, so for just one core slot you get a perfect unit to block any air raids....

Re: Spanish Civil War -(very) early impressions

Having completed just 3 scenarios and studied the 4th map, I would agree that the SCW campaign does not feel "introductory". The lack of direct control over infantry is the major issue, so far. The Republicans have markedly weaker infantry, but their tanks are mainly better than what has b...

Re: Spanish Civil War -(very) early impressions

I just finished the 3rd scenario, Merida, and I felt like the difficulty went up significantly: a far wider front, one well defended military base in Badajoz, Caceres (the 5th victory hex) was quite far, north of Guadiana river. I did manage to get all victory hexes and capture Bandajoz, but it was ...

Spanish Civil War -(very) early impressions

So far, I find the game, as a whole, very enjoyable. The Spanish Civil War campaign is very interesting to me, as it's a campaign I have known only through history books, hadn't played it in a wargame. I really like the briefings, as they both help to set the tone and provide some useful tips on how...

Anniversary coupon

Hello, I was thrilled to find an anniversary coupon from Slitherine in my inbox today. My question is, can I use it on an already discounted title or do I need to wait for the current discount to expire? I'm getting an error message (coupon not found) which is why I'm asking. Thank you. EDIT: Never ...

Re: Features/QoL requests

Not to detract from your points in general, but it’s worth noting that land units do not have “eyes” into adjacent coastal sea areas. Other naval units and certain coastal structures do give such vision, but not land units. You’ll notice this sometimes when a blockade symbol appears in a region whe...

Re: Features/QoL requests

The more I play, the more I'm baffled by some actions taken by the AI. Granted, I do not expect the same challenge from the AI as from a human, but still some issues should be resolved: Again referring you to the excellent Let's Play series by DasTactic: in the latest episode (22) the AI kept sendin...

Re: Features/QoL requests

Having that level of control would be a deal breaker for me because I'd have to use it, waste too much time, not finish my game and shelve the game. What could be interesting is: A better algorithm for placement General priorities for placement favoring attack or safety of units (so put more or les...

Re: Features/QoL requests

Right now, I do not use the Empire's battle system, at all. That, inevitably, leads to my battles taking longer (though I do love FoG II, and it's very satisfying seeing your triumphs -and disasters- translate into actual results on the strategic map) and at some point, with a faction stretching far...

Re: Features/QoL requests

I'd really like to be able to remove a citizen or a slave from one row and send them to some other task, without taking everyone in front of them along. Also, a way to inform the player as to what accepting a diplomatic proposal entails (apart from the obvious, like war and peace). For example, earl...

Question about the Twitch channel and sliths

I was wondering whether there will be more discount coupons added for us to get with our sliths from the Twitch Channel.

There won't be another stream with Agrippa this week (it's Gladius week with guest Youtubers, from the looks of it) so I thought I should ask here.

Thank you in advance.

Blitzkrieg Norway secondary objective stays pending

I have started a new Blitzkrieg campaign, following the release (and accompanying patch) of Panzerkrieg. Got to the Norway scenario, which specifies as a secondary objective not to deploy tanks, so as to have more CPs for the upcoming campaign in France. I did not deploy any tanks (and just to be on...

Re: Duplicate code message on Steam

I received the email. The new code was, again, rejected as duplicate. I do not know if I'm unbelievably unlucky or if, as I suspect, there's a wider problem here. The bottom line is I still do not have access to what I paid for. Please forgive me if I'm not exactly thrilled about this whole situation.
