Re: FIrst questions of a new player

Welcome, Thomas! This is one of my favorite games. #1 Yes that's correct. Late cavalry and rangers can do this as well. #2 With the Battle Planner, a great many choices are available, perhaps too many for a guide. I check every option against the suspected response and use that to conclude the best ...

Thanks Shockley! We had a thread about this very topic many years ago, but I can't seem to find it. What you posted sounds correct. Blitz41, I'm an "on to Richmond" guy, so I don't capture a lot of forts. I have Grant take the coastal fort just southeast of Richmond. This allows him to be ...

Re: Battle Questions and Other Sundries

The Battle Planner offers a lot of choices. To nail them each down would be a great task and perhaps unnecessary. I just run through the options available one by one. The planner gives you the possible results. I pick the one that offers a good chance. Sometimes an artillery choice is available, and...

Re: So - How's the New Diplomacy ?

Rome and Macedonia are game constructs. A faction can have high Legacy and get wiped out militarily, so why not diplomatically? Players accept that they can destroy an enemy on the battlefield, then take slaves from every region conquered and finally slaughter any rebels who object. In my Burgundi c...

I wonder if faction qualifier has an effect? Sarmatia was a Warrior Caste when I got the Double Deuces. Aristocratic Elite grants a Leader Pool +3.

Re: Using the Union Navy

From my experience, if you build a Brig and use it as a blockade runner, then it never pays for itself. The blockade ships will eventually catch it, causing damage, before you break even. If you leave it out, then it can be sunk. If you put it into port for repairs, then you must also pay off the re...

In my Carthage campaign, I took Latium where the CM was and the Romans could still build Legions. So you can't build Legions anywhere?

Great to hear from you, ACG! I've been playing Field of Glory: Empires, lately. I found a video someone did recently for CW2. He took all of the stuff we came up with for the game and barely mentioned the original source. I posted a link in his comments' section to this site.

Re: Proper build order for provinces or areas.

"Legacy" is the factor that decides the winner. The word "this" is a singular reflexive pronoun. If I had meant the structures, I would have said "these". In point of fact, structure legacy was one eighth of my total legacy.

You want structures in a region to be able to feed the population and maintain the infrastructure without the need to additionally employ citizens to these.

A Division of 17 elements has more chances to do everything than a smaller Division, so I would go with 2 full Divisions and 1 smaller Division.
