I enjoy wartching game videos on Youtube, and have watched all the Cummings AJE tutorial videos on Youtube (he mumbles a bit and does not always finish his sentences, but his videos are good). But I have found no Partian wars videos in English or French. There are a few by some guy who has no speech...
Well yes, as Napoleon found out in Russia, moving around in the Winter is not ideal; especially when the men are wearing tunics, there is a danger of freezing certain parts. After more playing, I found that it is sometimes possible to move and attack in the Winter, say in Southern Greece and Souther...
I have read the manual but it is sparse about weather effects. In the Caesar-Pompeii campaign of AJE, I have noted that in Winter months, if I move a stack, in addition to some loss of strength expected, there is a complete loss of cohesion. As a result I have to move back and then waste another mov...

Once I return I will hopefully start this, though!
Nice AAR. But it is difficult to follow for one not too familiar with the area because there is a lot of information on the maps, and some of the lettering is very small. It helps a bit to zoom the maps by pressing the cntr + key, but it would help even more if the maps were annotated with arrows, l...
Your example of two armies facing each other across the Bosporus seems to make the supply rules work. From what I've read most armies were only forced to move from positions if they were placed in bad positions to begin with ( no water source etc. ) or were starved out by the ohter army stopping th...
I forgot to mention supply depots, because I did not use any! The supply situation can probably be alleviated especially in Spain by building depots, which may reduce the amount of shuttling of supply wagons that is necessary to keep Anthony in supply. However it is unclear to me what happens if the...
What I find missing from this great game are a few things. One of them is that there are apparently no scenarios that go more than 20 moves or so into the game, so there is little information on what to do after the initial phases described in the AARs. This may be due to saed games being incompatib...
Actually I reloaded the game from a save a couple of turns before, and I did not crash again when I passed the same point. I HAD been playing for hours without pause, so it is quite possible that I ran out of memory if the game does not recover memory after every move. I have had no previous crashes...
The game crashed and requested that I send you the log which I e[ATTACH]21744[/ATTACH]nclose. This was very late in the game when Caesar had passed Byzanthium, Anthonius was mopping up Spain and another strpng army was helping in Spain and around Southern France. All ships were in a fleet nering Byz...
It hppened to me today, and it turned out that it was caused by new supply wagons that had not yet been filled. Try removing the supply wagons and see if it can move. Henri Another thing that happened last night was that Caesar was in a city that was being besieged by a much weaker army, and I was ...
The message seems to be generated by the strGroupBlockByFront command. I can't find any information about this. Can anyone shed any light? It hppened to me today, and it turned out that it was caused by new supply wagons that had not yet been filled. Try removing the supply wagons and see if it can...
I have watched all your videos and they are great! You are clear, logical and easy to follow. But starting on video 25, it is downhill all the way. A lot of mumbling, unfinished sentences, jumping from one subject to another, showing screens that have nothing to do with what you are saying, or not d...
I want to say you are correct. This was an game engine change a while back. It was asked for the units to assault only in the end province, not what they move through. IIRC this was done with AACW a few years ago. This way you could assault something far away, and not get stuck at the 1st enemy str...
This has been discussed in other threads, but has discussed elements that are not those that I want. What I want to know is how does one evaluate the a-priori probability of victory given the information available? Obviously terrain, weather, morale, experience, fatigue, frontage and the types of un...
I voted for it, but AJE is also being sold on Matrixgames, and I don't know of any games that are available on both sites. I have dozens of games from Steam and Matrixgames, as well as a few from other sites like Gamersgate and Gamestop, so I am not against any site. I have a slight preference for S...
