Only got round to playing this today.

A really enjoyable game, well done.

Only fought as Antigonus so far - Started up the battle and looked across at the enemy ... just look at all those elephants!

Felt I was fighting outside Minas Tirith in 'Return of the King'; where are the riders of Rohan when you need them?

I can recommend this.

Did it seem even enough Max, or did one side seem to be a bit too much? Thanks.

Thanks, I hope you enjoy it, and as always if there are any balance issues or mistakes, please let me know.

Not yet played as the Macedonians Mark, hopefully this evening, I'll squeeze it in between all my challenges

EDIT -

Now played as Macedonians. Won the game after starting off taking more hits than the Antigonids. Slowly pulled back the points deficit and ended fairly comfortably.

However, I did notice that the Macedonian Psiloi, (LF) had no range ability (and the graphic showed no 'bow' as it would for missile troops). As these troops will not voluntarily close with enemy units, they are therefore useless except that they help to boost your enemy's break point tally when they die!

I can't remember noticing if they used missiles when I faced them in my first game.

You might want to check this or correct my ignorance!

Hi

Thanks for a great game did you know that Rise in the Macedonian Image folder once “Rise of Rome” is added that here is an Early Successor period Macedonian Elephant with Macedonian pikeman astride “Macedonian El Elephant a” ?

Keep up the god work

That's not good. I didn't see that in the test games. Let I will check and see what the deal on that is.

Thanks Ian, I didn't see that graphic. I have updated the scenario above. Also fixed the Psiloi issue.

[maximvs]

Yep, Macedonians all OK now!

After a few more head to head games, some slight adjustments have been made for balance purposes.
