Ok, we are looking again for a 3rd opponent.
We are not looking for hardcore gamers but a decent committment is needed. A pace of 1 turn each day or 1 turn each 2 days could be enough.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought each round was all 3 scenarios. Round 1: Phase 1 starts at range 2, phase 2 at range 1, and phase 3 is melee. That is all round 1. It's the same explanation i gave to me in order to justify that result. This means that what's stated at page 39 of manual is wro...

I think losses are working as designed. The first round sees fighting from <initial range> to range 1. Do you mean range 2 ? Because as you can see in 2nd screenshot, my opponent started at range 2, so i expect something of this: "1st round: my units are hit by enemy ranged weapon but are not able ...

Also, if i sum my hit losses, i have 76 but in the global combat report i see that i received 214 hit in assault and 27 in range. This means that i received about 150 hits while enemy pursued me ? But i'm the winner of the battle...does this counts in avoiding pursuing ?

I'm playing that scenario as Septimus. What i understand until now is that NM influences only max coehsion for each unit and cohesion recovery speed. Impact on coehsion recovery is a simple consequence of having an higher MAXIMUM cohesion. If you don't boost also coehsion recovery then increasing on...

National Morale doesn't have influence on Supply

At pag. 13, manual states: "National Morale changes affect different game factors, such as unit cohesion maximum and cohesion recovery (reflecting the fact that military forces with high morale are generally more combat-efficient), or production of supplies and assets" I don't see any effects on sup...

[AJE] Septimus Severus Scenario PBEM

I'm looking for opponents for Septimus Severus scenario.
I'm not interested in taking Severus, i'd prefer Pescenius or Clodius.

I guess they are modifier, but how they work and what they modify ? Values greater than 100 are bonus or malus ?

Ok, i unlocked something in my little brain and maybe this will transform me in Mr. Obvious but actually having an high max cohesion level is still useful even if game engine consider for bonus/malus only the ratio current/maximum.

It all depends of the posture of the stack, not whether the element is the hitter or the receiver in a given phase. If both forces are in OFFENSIVE posture, the OFFENSIVE skill of the leader will be used. If one stack is in DEFENSIVE posture, the DEFENSIVE skill is going to be used, even when the e...

Well, actually because of a National Morale Boost in a single turn, some unit, that were already at their maximum possible cohesion (70), got a new maximum value beyond 100. So if i open one of their element i see something near: 70/105, meaning that the thresold is not 70 anymore but now 105. This ...

When the absolute max value of cohesion counts ?

In manual i see a lot of "it depends on % of cohesion referred to the max coehsion".
I'm failing to see where, when and how the MAX coehsion value does matter.

Any hint ?

Generals ability activation - i'm really confused

In game pop info for each ability often states: "this ability apply if the leader is in command of the stack". So you tend to play with seniority in order to match the right general in for the right stack in the right situation. But what i see in game is that those abilities are active in combat eve...
