Judea main goal is to recapture Jerusalem, so that you can start building up the holy temple (it has no less than 8 levels of improvements and the higher the get, the more impressive the bonuses are) to do so you must bid your time so that either one of these 2 things happen: a) Jerusalem owner is ...

Don't panic. Find someplace to expand. Keep up the faith, this is actually important as your fanaticism is a bonus. It is a tough faction, many are, but the tough ones are fun if you are not wedded to winning. Thank you for the ideas. They make sense. Just hide in the shadows until an opportunity o...

I have just started a game with this very interesting faction. They start with a single poor province, a tiny army, and everything around them is owned by stronger nations. Nabatea is an obvious target, but it is defended by an army stronger than mine. And building up my army will take a long time. ...

This would need to be tied to a kind of "historical pack" of events. Why not, it should be optional. Not everybody wants to have a game with the high predictability historical leaders and events give somehow. Some prefer a more freeform game. The historical pack idea is a great one, and w...

Thank you, Loki. That is very helpful.

Having become a Glorious Roman Empire in a golden age, I have picked up two aging tokens in four turns. Now everything is going very well for the empire, which has a huge surplus in money, manpower, metal, is getting a lot of legacy points, does not have much decadence, has thirty regions getting le...

Historical leaders can create more issues than fun. Perhaps they will return in a special pack/events, optionally. I don't know. Issues: - if their window of appearance is historical, then with some fore knowledge, you'll wait until you get a good leader before doing major operations or in reverse,...

vaalen

no, in an early version there were a few historically named 3* leaders. The problem was they totally distorted the combat system as units they led all tended to get 8-10 on the combat rolls regardless of the troops they were leading. I think a three is too much of an advantage for anyone, as your e...

I thought there would be some historical leaders in the game, but I have yet to see any in my game as Rome, except fro Horatius. At about a hundred turns, I thought I would have seen a few more by now. Having a few Historical leaders in the game, would add a lot of flavor. They would not need to app...

Thanks for the tips, Loki. They are most useful.

I've found it pretty easy to build up the population there but it takes a few buildings to get it going

Thank you for the information, Loki. Somehow, i was not aware of the recently conquered malus.

My apologies to all for the error.

After conquering Syracuse and Agrigentum in Sicily, I was surprised to find that both regions had a fifty percent penalty to food production. The Sicily of today has poor soil, but in ancient times the soil was some of the most fertile in the ancient world, and the island was the bread basket of Rom...

this is a very useful tip. I had been avoiding building anything that created decadence, but understand the error of my ways, and will go with the system.

Thank you for this most useful tip, Pocus.

Thank you, that is ;very humorous.

vaalen

Pocus, could you translate that for those of us who do not read French?

And let me congratulate you again for this brilliant game, which I ma enjoying very much.

vaalen

I am glad that worked for you. Figuring out how to solve the various problems the game throws at you is a lot of fun.

vaalen

I cannot stop playing it. Everything works, and the wars are fascinating, with the superb AI raising quite a challenge. Every nation is different, and feels historically right. There is so much to this game that I could go on for pages, but that means I cannot play the game while writing how much I ...

Do you have Italia Superior as a formed province? If so, you can raise the special provincial unit, Italian infantry. These are medium infantry who should do much better in the mountains than legions or cavalry. I would also bring plenty of skirmishers to support them. A bit army of these units shou...

Thank you, Pocus. And thanks for the information about Phithib, as i was concerned about him. it is great that he is working on so many projects. I intend to buy his new games when I can. On a different note, I have been going through the manual for FOG Empires, and I am very impressed. IF the game ...

vaalen

To Philthib and Pocus, Gentlemen, PhilTib has left the building, he is doing classical board games again, I hope he comes back to PC games at some point. Somehow I missed this. I had no idea until I read your comment. Thank you for letting me know. My apologies to PHilThib, Pocus, and everyone else...

vaalen

To Philthib and Pocus, Gentlemen, I am most excited about this game, I will buy it as soon as possible. This is the launch of a new gaming system which you have put so much work into over the last few years. I have read the manual, and it is clear to me that this new system will be a masterpiece. It...

vaalen

Ah yes, I admit there was some wishful thinking there. No doubt you are correct, Zakblood.

vaalen

Pocus, that is wonderful news!

After reading the patch notes to the latest FOG 2 patch, which came out last week, I noticed that they had a reference to something that was done regarding GOG Empires. It seems likat FOG 2 is now ready for Empires battles. Does this mean that FOG Empires will be coming out soon, after the Steam sum...

Then understand that no new game can be out during this period. So it must be before or after.

Ah, that makes sense. No doubt it will be4 after. Hopefully soon after.

vaalen

I have read all the developer diaries, watched the twitch video, looked at all the screenshots.

I want the game NOW.

I realize We will have to wait awhile, but could you give us a general idea of when we can actually buy this fascinating game?

vaalen

The above posts simply confirm my decision about these two games.

I will buy FOG Empires the day it comes out. I think it will be great, and I am very excited about it.

I have no interest in the Paradox game.

vaalen

This sounds Great!

It looks like the military and tactical system will have a lot of depth to it, even if you do not use FOG2 to resolve battles.

vaalen

This is very sad. The game has so many great ideas and attributes. All that really is needed to fix it would be to convert it into a two side game, the French and the allies. A few years ago, it looked like this was going to be done, but it never was, and most of the efforts of the Ageod team was pu...

vaalen

Plus one. I do prefer the old style counters, I think it would be nice of Slitherine to include that option. But I will buy the game regardless, because it has so many interesting features, and because it is the new Ageod system and I want to support Philthib and Pocus, who have done so much to enri...
