Like in Total War games, losing a battle is part of the journey to victory or defeat. Maybe there could be a rearguard battle after on defense whilst the player's army recovers the same way the enemy always does that when I win battles.

I only lost one battle in this campaign and it was a pursue the enemy survivors with a small force type battle so I only had a about 6 ranged units and 2 infantry units and tried a Custer's last stand on a cluster of rough hills in the middle of the map but I got overrun after a lively fight. After that battle, the only option was to go back to the previous step and re-choose what to do so I chose to do a regular refit and continue the campaign option instead of the pursue option. I was thinking, after I lost the pursue battle, I think it would have been nice to continue the campaign despite having some of my units (and the Romans too) beat up from the pursue battle and I think they actually lost more casualties during the combat from being under fire on the approach and then a fairly hard fight to clear my units from the Custer-style cluster hilltop defense. Usually when a battle situation looks hopeless for me, I tend to rely on Custer tactics... which probably ensures futility.

Thank you for being attentive to player input.

I've only played a couple of campaigns so far but they were both mainly focused on the one enemy I chose at the start. Or better still make it a checkbox so players can choose between a focused campaign and a wider ranging one.

The sandbox campaigns already do contain battles against other geographically and date appropriate enemy nations - whether this happens is decided randomly, so you may not have seen them in the couple of campaigns you have played.

Some people do not like this feature, so in the next update we will be adding options to focus the campaign more tightly if desired.

It's ok with combat units (HI, HC, MI) but not for skirmishers or missile units. Sometimes this kind of troops are very good dealing missile damage but they no gain a single point of xp for it.

I think this kind of troops could gain xp by expending missile rounds in addition to xp gained by physical combat. Sometimes they are decisive, and gain no single point of experience. Too bad. One xp point added for every missile round fired, for example, would be a nice way to obtain some xp for those kind units. They gone to battle to fire, after all. Just a thought.

Best regards
