Pocus, after watching the video posted before Christmas it seems Kingdoms is really coming along, and I am very excited for it. :D After watching the video I had a few questions. 1) I noticed the long campaign ends at 1274. Does that correspond to any particular event? In other words, how did you ch...
I would agree on all counts, it's fantastic to see a great game continue to evolve and get even better! :cool: And maintaining an 80% on Steam is quite a feat! :dada: With that in mind, is there any way you could share what is on the horizon in terms of additional content like the Triumph patch? I k...
Hi @jpanside I've noticed on this forum and the Slitherine forum that there is concern about the porting in to FOG2. From what I have seen from the video play-throughs and what @loki100 indicated (he's a beta tester), battle porting appears to be a very simple process. As loki100 suggests there are ...
Allowing it for 1v1 MP would be a great start, and yes that makes things MUCH simpler. However I don't think it has to stop there. Here are some considerations (I will apologize in advance for the long post): :bonk: First there seems to be a notable amount of support in the FOG2 community that looks...
Just read Dev Diary 9 about combat. First of all, it sounds like a simple elegant system, yet it provides solid results while encouraging players to pay attention to force composition! All I can say at this point is that it sounds great! I noticed that there were no apparent caveats or exceptions wh...
At the moment you can't use FoG2 in MP Empires - would probably be hard to manage with the WEGO turn system but there may be plans to address this (genuinely no idea). Nooo! :pleure: I really do hope they make this functional. This is the aspect I found most unique and looked forward to the most. I...
I like what I see so far with Generals and their characteristics. Without being able to play it yet I wonder if there are some additional ways to help replicate generals and their impact. Perhaps this isn't overly original, but what about force multipliers? There are some famous quotes regarding gen...
Fair enough! Thanks for the honest answer. I have noticed that some mods have noticeable changes to the army lists. It appears that the TT mod makes some changes to the vanilla lists, but the changes do NOT appear to be major IMHO. And that is why I ask, because I can see where any changes could cau...
I attempted to find the answer, but after a quick search I figured I would just ask here. I am a fan of the TT mod for FOG2. Will the use of this mod (or any other similar FOG2 mod) work when battles are exported to FOG2 from Empires?
Holy cow, 16 players!? That is fantastic, and is more than enough players IMHO. So this begs the question: what factions are playable? I have done a quick search and not found an answer. It sounds like any faction is playable? Yeah it stinks to have missed the beta, but that means we are close to a ...
That is great to hear. It sounds like the in-game battle resolution strikes the right balance of simplicity with depth. Without having access to it yet, I will take your word for it. ;) I have watched a few playthroughs and it seems like there might be subtleties that can make a real difference in t...
First off ajarnlance, I'm VERY jealous that you get to be on the beta! I applied a week or so ago, but I'm afraid I applied a bit too late. Anyway, your report is EXACTLY what I hoped. While your report isn't a surprise, it's great to get verification and assurances. Thanks for the reply!
Late to the party here, but +1 for me! While the modding is great, the bigger selling point for me is up to 16 players. A strategic level game using WeGo with up to 16 players can provide a very rich gaming experience. The WeGo aspect allows players to input their turn on their schedule, vs having t...
Long time forum stalker here, but I recently came across Empires and became excited enough to join the forum to interact. I agree that the ability to play out battles with FOG2 is absolutely fantastic! This is exactly the type of game I have been looking for. I have also told several friends who are...
