What exactly was it about Swiss pikes that made them so effective in their era? Was it that you just couldn't get close to them without ending up skewered? It seems like such an ungainly weapon - but it obviously worked.

What were the main reasons?

The in-game help is working here on a test system. Is this help from the main menu or from within a game in progress? Keith

The in-game help has not worked for me for about the last 3 patches. Just a brown field with close up the top - although if I invoke the Task Manager when I go back to it ...

It's something we're looking at - as you say, sometimes it would be very useful. But coming up with a system which can be all things to all people is tricky. But it is on our todo list!

Great! Thanks for letting us know.

The elegance of the multiplayer system is great - but it would be nice to be able to communicate with a present or past opponent the same way. For various reasons it's good that email addresses aren't swapped and that it's done "blind" - but how about if when you are playing someone and after they ...

This is a tough one as the Greeks. The Persians peck away at you from a distance and by the time you get to pin them down you are very depleted. I finally won just by sweating out the attrition and being lucky with the rolls.

I played as the Persians against a human. I was mainly trying to see if ...

As an answer to my own question, they test before according to what looks like an updated rules page (or I just missed it before).

I just finished a very fun MP game with routed units everywhere on both sides - and both of us over our limit. It said that I was victorious (should have been a draw, right?) - and there was no text in the Status field.

Think it's a bug.

1.1.2 - RoR.

As above, do the BGs first test and then if still routed keep running or is it the other way around? I mean after the turn they initially break on, of course.

Actually, do they test for recovery at all on the initial turn in which they break?

TIA

I click on "images" and can't find - for instance - any of the Later Jewish units in the selection box to the right. Does anyone know where they are?

Thanks in advance.

Dumbest.Question.Ever.

Just realised that the units are deployed rotated that way.

D'oh!

A supporting battle group in melee is defined (in the Combat Mechanism page of Help) as:

Not attacking or being attacked in the current combat.


This bit has me confused. There is only ever one BG attacking or being attacked in a combat. Why is it necessary to state this? At first I thought it ...

Got it with 1.1.1 in Clausium. Computer (Gallic) was ending its turn.

Ah - so LOS is not yet implemented? I was wondering - had a very quick look and couldn't see it in effect.

Great! Will give some old scenarios a different flavour.

... for RoR battles, or all of them?

Thanks in advance.

Bummer :( Hopefully they can come up with a fix, or you can replace the card without any hassles.

Cheers

Of course not. :(

I bought the card, went away for a while and then only came across the problem recently when I came back. The store I got it from doesn't accept a swap after 7 days ...

Well, hopefully this is what the problem is ... and hopefully they can fix it:-

AMD has confirmed that a previously reported issue of grey lines or screens with certain Radeon HD 5000 GPUs affects both the 5700 and 5800 series.

Earlier this week, it emerged that many 5000 series users were ...

However the manual does not say you cannot shoot at adjacent BG - probably just an omission to state what they thought was obvious.

Are you aware how shooting is handled in the impact combat, i.e. a BG with missiles gets more attacks to reflect their fire as the enemy charged towards them?

Just ...

That sounds like a video card issue, but the card is new, so it could be the slot on the motherboard? Is there any way to test your old card on another system.

These kind of random wierd issues can be very hard to track down...

Cheers

No - the other comp I have is ancient with an AGP slot ...
