Agree in part with the review. Thing that bugs me the most in AJE and BOR is that many scenarios can simply run out of steam. Meaning that the AI sometimes goes very inactive or even when you defeat the enemy whole the scenario just keeps going untill it reaches the end instead of triggering a win w...

Ben

After patch 1.02a this is still happening. It only seems to happen with consuls or leaders you get for a limited time through events or options. For instance in the Pyrrus scenario when you as Rome apply the dictator decision and then attach the new leaders to the new legions the legion will forever...

Ben

For those of us who bought the extra scenarios, do we need to redownload them or are they patch compatible? Thanks!

Ben

They seem to enjoy the boardgame like aspects of the game. Interesting read.

When the Pontic kingdoms go over to you as Ceasar you won't be able to reinforce some of their armies because these troops also do not show up in the replacement ledger. In quite a few scenarios you'll be able to get troops you then cannot reinforce btw. Always wondered if these were oversights or W...

Ben

Biggest thing I've noticed on these settings is that the AI really loves to run circles through my lands when weaker. Meaning that I need to keep sizeable forces in every theater for garrison duty and have to actually try and hunt down enemy stacks. Plus enemy stacks split up and join a lot more oft...

Ben

Last time I played that scenario as the Romans it just kept ticking on after I defeated all Samnite armies and took all territory. Probably because they never called in the other tribes and those regions stayed locked but the tooltip told me I was at war with them. Love the scenario but it could use...

Ben

You can win, but only if you lay siege to Rome early, before the Rome gets its first 4 consul legions, before Crassus comes with 2 more legions, before Pompey comes to Italy with 4 more... In the first few turns, your Army is actually stronger, but as Romans get serious, you become cooked meat, you...

In the Spartacus scenario I noticed that legions (or other units) to which a leader was attached retained the name of that leader even when he was gone. This seemed to happen when consuls or magisters got removed by event (yearly elections and such) Although seemingly minor I then found that these l...

Then that's probably the case! Thanks!

Ben

Thanks. I know and have bought reinforcements for both POP and ROM. However when elements of the legion get destroyed they will not replenish. I have however noticed that the renewal of totally destroyed elements in a unit seems to be much slower than before. Even when inside friendly walls and full...

Ben

Noone? Building new legions from scratch but not being able to recruit legion elements to reinforce existing ones seems strange to me. Unless I'm missing something.

Ben

Who says you can't win that one as Spartacus?

Ben

Seeing the battle messages added together with the battle results would be neat. As it is it just moves too fast. On the other hand I really don't want every battle to move at snail's pace just so I can read them all. Some kind of summary would be neat.

Ben

I'm Honesty just gonna wait for the inevitable Second Punic War expansion. That is all I'm really interested in. While that's one of the 'biggies' well worth waiting for there are absolute craploads of possible events from the times that would make awesome scenarios. Uprisings in Britannia, barbari...

Ben

In Marius vs Sulla I can build new legions as Populares but my existing legions can't get reinforced due to me not being able to buy legion reinforcements (elements) in the f2 ledger. Is this intended? It feels kinda silly to build a new legion and not being able to recruit new legionary troop eleme...

Ben

Marius vs Sulla is a bit big. Playing as Sertorius in The Great Mithridatic War is much more condensed and lets you play a relatively 'easy' faction. As long as the Romans send their troops east, that is. Spartacus is also a good one. Rome to learn how to wield the power of the legions and as Sparta...

Ben

It's one of my absolute favourite scenarios and the one I learned how to play AJE with. Never won it decisively however. Best playthroughs I split up my forces and have them run all over Italy. Making a mess everywhere you can gets you more troops and keeps the Romans off balance. Despite my best ef...

Ben

Romans enlisted their citizens and assimilated the Italian people they conquered. Giving these various forms and levels of citizenship and incorporating them into their military as well. Meaning their manpower only grew as they became a larger power. Carthage never (or hardly ever) gave those they c...

Ben

Love the new patch. Gameplay mechanics aside, AJE has finally stopped crashing all the time. Makes the game a whole lot more fun to play. Kudos!

Ben

Do hope some attention to the samnite and mercenary war scenarios is also being given in the patch. Samnite war can run to a stalemate as the romans when you defeat everything but are unable to destroy the last samnite troops due to being unable to enter the provinces they're in. It basically means ...

Ben

I think a lot of people who do not get replacements forgot to buy them through the F2 screen. Recruitment varied a lot in Roman times. In the game I find that you get the best results by having a reserve of about 5 to 10 in the replacement screen, pull units of the line, place them in a structure an...

Ben

The drivers are the latest Realtek ones. I'm certainly interested in the hijackthis utility. Can you pm or should I send you my email address? I can't try it out before the weekend though. Work's a bitch atm.

Ben

Got another one, frontage. Simply got no clue how it works and the manual is no help. Anyone know?

Ben

Tacticular Cancer has a review up of AJE.

Ben

My crashes lock the pc, upon reboot and restart the game sometimes hangs and the game has become corrupted once. Meaning I had to reinstall to run it. Turning off sounds kept the game from crashing every few minutes. Now it's every 30 minutes or so.

Ben

Some more Noob questions: When winning battles I get messages in the ledger concerning how many weapons my side captured. Do these play a role in the game? When I send a fleet into a commerce box occupied by enemy trade ships there doesn't seem to be any battle. Do I cause damage to these ships just...

Ben

Some smaller scale scenarios are also fun and challenging as the Spartacus one so pointedly illustrates. I'd love to see a few good ones. Some good old fashioned Romans vs Barbarians would be neat as well. Roman history has so much to offer that the AJE team can keep cranking out DLC's for ages. As ...

Ben

Unfortunately the crash has been re-occuring.

I'll send the log folder rarred to contact@aleajactaest-game.com. Hope you guys figure it out.

Ben

Sure. I'll do that. About your problem: I noticed in your log many references to the game sounds, that I never saw in my logs. Have you tried to disable completely music and sounds ? I'll try that this weekend. EDIT: Upon disabling my sound the game stopped crashing. Seems my realtek integrated soun...

Bug? Legion names renamed to new leader stay renamed to that leader.

Is it WAD that as Populares in Mari vs Sulla I cannot recruit extra legionary forces?
