FoG v 1.8.1
No add-ons
New to the game, I am battling my way through the first low complexity scenario, Akragas 406BC.
Game mechanics are quite complex, I read a few post, tactica, wiki but well... information is difficult to digest.

So one question at a time.
Is there any rank bonus for heavy infantry units charging / defending?

I tried it with the Daphaneus units but didn't notice any bonus.

Cheers

Found the answer, it's no.

Not in POA but if the HF beat MF in combat, the MF get a -1 in their cohesion test. So in battles where there's a large enough sample size, HF should defeat MF if evenly matched in POA.

Thanks

Just bought Field of Glory plus some expansion packs. I would like to play some of the User made Scenerios/battles I see these have a download link, but which folder do I put them in ?

Also why cant the units turn in any direction during a battle, is this because of the terrain, I know I put alot of scrub in a scenerio I just made, will this have an effect on turning. Thank's for any help or advice....Have a great time with the game.

unzip them in the 'FieldOfGlory Scenarios' folder.

turning efficiency depends on whether a unit is drilled or not. since rough terrain decreases mobility, it also decreases turning ability as turning is a function of mobility.

Silly me ! I was looking in the wrong place. Should have ben looking in Documents. Also the scenerio I quickly put together was a British/Gallic Army fighting the Romans. So as I was controlling the Britons all of them will have been undrilled. The reason wwhy they couldn't turn 360*. Also liked the idea of changing the unit strength amongst other things. Thanks again for the help. I think though I should spend some time reading on how the game works, but I did want to dive straight in.

All the Best.
