Re: Sandbox Campaign suggestions

For FoG 3, I'd love to see a roguelike mode (eg Slay the Spire, Monster Train, Hades). You start with a small army and choose 1 of 2-3 paths. Each has a different enemy and terrain. The enemies could be from different factions, or just different army compositions for the same faction. Then you pick ...

Re: Sandbox Campaign suggestions

I just wanted to thank you all again for the Sandbox Campaign in Field of Glory 2. It is why I keep coming back to play this game 5 years later. (That and the excellent implementation of the underlying miniatures ruleset). The Sandbox campaign provides just enough continuity to make each battle feel...

Re: Maximum Battle Size with new patch

Thank you for the reply. So there's no way to reduce the max cap below 24?

Maximum Battle Size with new patch

I love FOG2. The only thing stopping me from trying Empires is that I don't like the large battles, I think the FOG ruleset and engine works best in small and medium-size engagements. I notice in the most recent patch notes it says this, but it's difficult to understand without context. " Empir...

Why these simple rules are so satisfying

I'm going to gush a bit more on Fields of Glory II. The rule set is really very simple, once you get used to the different troop types and what each is good at. But it does a terrific job of convincing me I'm a commander of an ancient battle. At the start of the battle, you have complete control of ...

Re: Sandbox Campaign suggestions

I'd like it if every second battle in the campaign were against mixed other historical enemies, rather than just your chosen "nemesis" enemy. I've only played a couple of campaigns so far but they were both mainly focused on the one enemy I chose at the start. Or better still make it a che...

I LOVE the FOG 2 sandbox campaign. Exactly what I wanted.

I'm crossposting this post I just made to my local gaming forum, because I wanted to let the developers know how much I'm enjoying the sandbox campaign mode in FOG 2. ------------- Lots of Turn Based Tactical games and Card Games are now tied to some kind of overarching campaign. (Think Battle Broth...

Re: Warband vs Mediocre Legionaire

I'm only a single player gamer, and I've only been playing for a few weeks. So my opinions won't be as informed as the experienced multiplayer competitors. But my experience so far is that Warband type armies feel too expensive for what they do. I've been able to play out my fantasies of Rome v Cart...

Re: Can you choose battle size in Empires?

Thank you. If anyone gives it a go let me know if it works (both exporting to FOG II and importing back into Empires).

Can you choose battle size in Empires?

I've been greatly enjoying FOG II. But I tried the Julius Caesar campaign and gave up immediately. The first battle is too big. I don't enjoy battles that large and IMO battles that large don't play to the strengths of the FOG rule set and UI. So my question is: in Empires, can you choose the size o...

Dummies guide to Unit Stats

I'm a fan of Fantasy Wars and Elven Legacy. This looks like fun. But I'm intimidated by all the unit stats. Deciding which units to build, or how to upgrade my core units is a headache because the stat screens are so complicated. I'm sure it will be second nature to me eventually, but it makes for a...
