So fog2 is based off rise of Rome?

In fog1 I've been playing the battle of Cannae as Rome favoring Carthage. I was fighting 1 unit of Gallic infantry (average) vs my 2 units, 1 hastati and 1 principe both (poor,drilled). The unit of Gallic infantry I was fighting was directly on a river fighting my hastati and principe on land and th...

Hotseat in FOG is wonderful I hope they never remove it. PBEM on pike and shot was unplayable for me as a hotseat option do to loading screens and replays because we were just staring at the screen lol it didn't last long. Although PBEM for battle academy 2 wasn't as bad because it only had a loadin...

Speaking of PBEM and replays. Just to make sure there are no replays and loading screens in offline hotseat correct? It just goes to the second player than they use the right mouse to rotate or arrow keys.

If I recall correctly tabletop FOG went with Storm of Arrows and Immortal Fire as the first two army books. Putting those out simultaneously would cover a lot. I just wish those came with more scenarios like around 15-20 like decline and fall and eternal empire. The expansions from the unity engine...

1. Rise of Rome (since it's a rome based game it's only right) 2. Immortal 3 legions triumphant 4. Battle pack 5 Byzantine 6. Then the medieval stuff and unity expansions would be awesome Immortal first would be cool too but we have to remember Fog still is a Rome based game so it would only be righ...

Nice that sounds really good the random battle generator along with the scenarios should really bring a lot of replay ability to the table. The auto unit selection for the second player is not a problem at all really. I'm the one who would most likely create my own custom army and if he wanted to cr...

That's not a problem. So you say the second player can choose what army they want like whether they want to be rome or Carthage like in a fog1 scenario but the units in the army is randomly generated. Does that mean the first player can choose what units they want? Because in fog1 both players are g...

The arrow keys will allow you to rotate the map or hold down on the right mouse button to do so, also. As per "hotseat"...Pike & Shot & Sengoku Jidai do not offer, what I call "true hotseat". You still have to utilize the PBEM system to bring this about. With FoG II you ...

Is there a way to set rotate to the scroll wheel?

Ah I see now, when you end turn the camera stays on the same side. How do you rotate the camera is it with the scroll wheel like in total war? Another quick question, we play on an older laptop. It runs fog1 perfect the units move smoothly but with a game like pike and shot the units moved laggy. Ba...

Does fog2 have built in hotseat like in the original fog where you can play with 2 people on one pc by selecting a scenario than checking off human vs human. Or is it like pike and shot with the loading between turns and replays. I couldn't play pike and shot because the loading screens and there wa...
