I don't remember the editor forcing me to get one when creating new armies in it.

Also, if there's no bonus from it, but only penalties if you'll lose it, why add it in at all?!! capturing an enemy camp during a battle wasn't common in antiquity, a fistful of battles maybe..

You mean the ...

Hi!

All DAG armies must have a camp, and its free. What you can pay for is for upgrading the camp to fortified camp (roman armies are forced to include and pay for this upgrade by the way).
A normal camp will fall to any enemy unit adjacent to it, usually in one or two turns. Then the camp will ...

I usually field 2 at least, more if its a really big army. I have found my inspired leadership does nothing to stop the anarchy as I have seen units 2 hexes away go off on a silly charge followed by their deaths shortly after, so nut sure what all the points for inspired are going to. Only ...

Hi!

I like to use plenty of leaders too. Maybe its not the optimal setup, but seeing those "out of command" white hands makes me nervous ;)
Before 1.2.6, on my 500 points Ptolemaic army i used 4 troop commanders. Two for the phalanx, in the center, one for the lancer cavalry and another for the MF ...

That Osprey excerpt seems quite strange and not in line with anything i've read about ancient military history.
Saying that a mostly unarmored caetrari wielding a small shield should be considered heavy infantry up to roman legionary standards because their "acrobatic swordfighting" don't make much ...

We now have an update that allows for non-english characters in the chat, this should be in game in time for Immortal Fire but is not part of the next patch 1.2.7.

Cool! :D
No hurry with this chat improvement. Its not a big deal... but please get the 1.2.7 out soon to fix the Anarchy so ...

I have a big problem with the ingame chat. Me and my friend are french. So we use some common character that the english has forget how to use them but not having them make reading french very difficult. One example :

Je vais te donner une leçon : I will teach you a lesson.

become :


Je vais te ...

+1 to the "nope" :wink:
Whats more, if in historical scenarios the AI is very weak, on DAG games its weakness are still more evident as it does not start with a reasonably organized battle line you may see in many scenarios
It's army selection on DAG games is indeed random... just a little bit of ...

My "absurdly long break off" record was 11 hexes... and i thought it was long...
Besides the transcontinental break off distances problem (which is bad) we have the direction of break offs problem (which is really terrible ). :(
How the hell did the game chose that path instead one towards HIS ...

Maybe you used the other four as leaders bodyguards??
The units you use for the leaders also count for the cap of a unit type.
Cheers

I'm waiting for a patch that makes the game enjoyable again
Hope it doesn't take long...

Although those nobles are armed with heavy weapons so they're technically not shock troops.

It may not be a bug, but the "impact foot" rule makes no sense IMHO
Is not like riding over you own "two handed sword armed" noble heavy infantry is more easy or historical or reasonable than riding over ...

How about if anarchy test were done at the start of the turn for all units and the ones that didn't pass it would be flagged with the A to mark them as "this unit will charge on its own if you don't charge with it voluntarily"??

But the player already knows which units can go into anarchy by just ...

You take away all player control if it is at the beginning

Not if they are flagged anarchic and must be moved first and into contact.

Interesting idea! :D

I never played the Tin Soldier games, but looked at them and believe the scenarios were scripted given their static nature. Scripted behavior can yield some challenging games, but scripted behavior is not the same as AI. And scripted behavior falls down in random battles such as DAG-generated games ...

One thing i might suggest is not to assume an AI is good just because the game is challenging... The AI having overwhelming #'s, hard to reach victory hexes etc all can make a game hard without the AI being any good at all. Even the GMT pc versions of Alexender Hannibal etc were challenging, but ...

I have some difficulty to accept the fact that a Roman impact foot unit, considered as a unit, has and will have the same possibility to anarchy charge of a German impact foot unit (think of what has happened at Aquae Sextiae to have an historical example: an entire Ambrones army has charged uphill ...

Hey Arsan, cant comment on the Tin Soldiers game as I never picked them up (specifically because they included no scenario editor at all in their games)


Yes, indeed they only had some canned scenarios and campaigns. Not as much replayability as FoG, but speakings about AI, they were much better ...

The AI is in need of A LOT of work.
Its one of the weakest Ai i've ever found... :cry: and one has a lot of weak Ai's around to choose from :wink:
When RoR was initially delayed Slitherine/Hexwar promised it will have an improved AI when it was finally released.
But it seems the promise was ...
