Re: Leaders and their traits

Varus also ended up with pretty poor legions, the best troops being sent to crush the rebellion in Dalmatia (a pretty big affair now more or less forgotten). He led a mop up operation with poor troops and fell in what ended up being a clever trap.

Re: strategic/operational/tactical level

Regarding the tactical game, I would have liked to have something akin to what the old computer game conquest of the new world where you had simplish but fun battles in the scheme of a civ type of game set in the new world. It would be nice to have that as a non-FOG layer rather than either big tact...

Re: About New AGEOD Engine

Yeah ! At last.

So based on the roman thing, I suppose we are looking at an AJE 2 sort of game.

I hope the game is dope so I can buy it and enjoy it.

Neither am I, but let's see. If even if I am not encouraged, the fact that I still come here almost 3 years after WON was released speaks volume about my secret hope for a great game.

Re: About New AGEOD Engine

Thanks POCUS, you do what you can... My bet would then be a game based in antiquity, sort of AJE2 but with the possibility of also playing hellenic times.

Re: Is this forum dead ?

Pocus is the heart and sole of the development team. There are other full-time devs working on the project but it is Pocus' vision that drives everything. Philippe Thibaut was very much on the management side and supporting other devs to make games in the old engine. He contributed considerably in ...

Re: Is this forum dead ?

I find it a bit scary to be honest... I still hope we will get some nice new games in the future but who knows. Phil Thib and the "board game" feel are sort of the essence of what made AGEOD different, in an era of either hardcore simulation à la WITP or arcadish games with historical feel...

Re: WoN current state

I've played over 300 hours of WoN against the AI and after 2 full campaigns I gave up. There are so many problems with the game I finally uninstalled it as the devs are obviously not doing any improvements to the games which was a shame as I really was looking forward to a good Napoleon era game an...

Re: In the meantime, what do you play and why?

While waiting for Ageod's game I also find myself very interester bya Agressors Ancient Rome that is being developped by Slitherine... Sort of an old school CIV/colonization feel to it.

It is still the best game they ever made simply put. Just like EUII or CIVII would still be a good buy 20 years later. This game is THE classic of their repertoire.

Well to get proper scouting you need to send actual units to place where they can see a lot : detached skirmishers do the job really well.

Re: In the meantime, what do you play and why?

Is the AI auto compensating for losses as bad as said on Ultimate General? I did not bought it because of that. The problem is that the campaign is like in Robert Lee civil war, not a real campaign but battles after one another with imported results. Without a compensation mechanism one would face ...

Re: In the meantime, what do you play and why?

I have enjoyed Ultimate General civil war a lot, and have been indulging again into cycling manager and Crusader Kings 2.

I am waiting for a strategy game to excite my interest for a while now, Agressors Ancient Rome developped by Slitherine is intriguing to be honest.

It's a Spruce Goose. Like PON, a game that's just too big. yeah... The engine just cannot carry that many variables and moving parts. For it to work the engine should have been focused on the wargame and all the rest of the game should have been streamlined and card driven. Too bad really because t...

Re: WoN current state

Small countrie should have made passive or "card" driven. The fact that the CP has to run all elements for them (diplo, production, troops movements, etc..) made the game unnecessarily heavy and messy.

In honestly don't understand how could the game be released in the coming weeks and no further info/screenshot/feature explanation be given here since then. It's really frustrating tbh, and it makes us fans sound lik whiny sissies which is even more frustrating.
