Noted. What is the source for the superior muslim spear troops of the period? The Superior rating is based on their overwhelming success in the earlier years of the conquest (even before they got many horses). The Spearmen rating is a judgement call, they could instead have been rated as Superior W...

I would pay good money for this!! Most fantasy worlds I'm aware of have more of a medieval flavor vice ancients, but I'm hoping FOG2 goes medieval soon!

I disagree with the OP. Unauthorized pursuits were a constant of ancient and medieval warfare! Yes commanders went to great lengths to prevent it, but it still occurred ... and often much to their frustration. Especially since it usually occurred with cavalry units. So, the owning commander of the c...

Ok, loving this game! Finally, ancients done right. From graphics to game play to multiplayer support you have set the standard in my opinion. Still not a fan of combining hastati/principi and I believe that there needs to be some mechanism to represent that many units from this time period would su...

Thanks all, this actually does explain levels better.

I might have missed it in the manual, but I can't seem to find anything regarding the difficulty levels - how does each level actual affect game play? Any guidance would be appreciated!

Much thanks Tiavals! I missed the thread post regarding 1.8.1 but would imagine you are right.

Hi all,

Just updated my game to version 1.8.0 but I can't find any information on what the update entails. I noticed it preloaded a battlepack but I can't access the battles and I don't see any info on the website regarding purchasing the battle pack. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I understand your passion, CharlesRobinson, but I don't think coming out with all the expansions will save the game. But only the devs would know that for sure based on the loyal customer base that includes you. Would the Paradox model of Darkest Hour and Iron Cross work here? Are there modders wit...

I am a computer wargamer, not a TT player. So no offense to the TT grognards. But who cares about: “Decline & Fall” “Wolves From The Sea” “Oath of Fealty” Release Fog 2/Age of Rifles and get ready to make some dough, above and beyond this narrow TT audience you are catering to. Assuming that it...

Yep, that did it and the game turns are on thier way. Not necessarily a good thing on my part considering the pounding I'm taking from Mongo Thanks for the incredibly quick response!

Sorry about the delay guys but I have run into the Error code -1 that is posted in the tech support and a sticky in this forum. Hope this gets fixed soon.

Running into this issue again. The same error code -1.

I have a single game with grab and a double game with mongol

I'm running into the same problem with all three of my games. I get the same error -1. Hope we get this fixed soon.

I have been waiting for this one!!! You go Slitherine!

That makes sense. Thanks!

Just curious as to why you consider Penal so important?

Thanks to all for the responses. I found them and also noticed that in the RoR army lists that the Middle Republic Romans actualy cover a time period wide enough to incorporate early Roman Republic units.

I thought there was supposed to be an early Roman republic army list included in the RoR DAG. The Earliest I see is Middle Republic(late).

Geordietaf, I don't see them either and was looking forward to fielding an early Republic Roman
Army!
