I am an expert in this field of late Greek early Roman history. I know history, sociology, economic development, social development etc.
This all started when i was quite young gaming in this era, so i know my Roman tactics, strategy and military history. I am the shit. Dude.

So, me, the 'expert', starts up Caesar/Pompey this morning to give it a try. On turn 3 i managed to wipe out my own navy by forgetting about storms. Sigh, I constantly amaze myself with new and stupid ways to show i am no where near as smart as i think i am! ;)

Fun game though, one thing that should be changed about the Caesar/Pompey scenario is that Fufius Calenus (the fufster) should be an admiral not a general. He commanded Caesars navy in the Greek campaign for example.

thanks,

Michael

take it that way... you played it really historically... (hope it was the Caesarian fleet at least)

you will find some abilities which are part of seamanship, but available to land-commanders which are attached to fleets. there is no clear line between them, even if the icons are indicating it.
A good admiral with high strategical value, will really be happy of support from this land commanders, at least in larger sea battles
...not paid by AGEOD.
however, prone to throw them into disarray.

PS:

‘Everything is very simple in War, but the simplest thing is difficult. These difficulties accumulate and produce a friction which no man can imagine exactly who has not seen War . . . in War, through the influence of an infinity of petty circumstances, which cannot properly be described on paper, things disappoint us, and we fall short of the mark.‘
