I've actually found that if you give all arty(except mountain guns for balance reasons) blitz the AI will actually build and use arty. I my games all the big boys build about 70 field guns and about 10-20 howitzers by the start to the middle of the second era(except the germans who, like the...

I don't know if you guys are going to do another update or not, but I'd just like to mention that adding blitz to the arty works! I played around with it and the AI builds much more arty and I've even seen them use it offensively (small scale but still). They don't seem to be fielding stacks...

Alright the triangle is set and more legions arrive to strengthen Phoenicia and give the triangle more teeth. Rome flexes her military muscle. Antiocia: Tyrus: Egypt counters our professionally trained legions with an ocean of men. Numbers and words simply do not...

Alright lets break down the early couple of turns. Judea is overrun, Petra only had a Praedisum guarding it and they die quick. Jerusalem resists fiercely but two leigons and some velites cannot hope to defend against thousands of quick-moving light cavalry, Jerusalem falls. A moment of silence...

...the one you remember forever? Where you really thought that, this is it I'm screwed, but you pulled it out anyway (just like at the movies, wooo!). Yeah this was one of them. Lets set this up. Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire is probably one of the best mods ever made, for any civ, I'm not...

That's too bad this seemed neat. I think you're right though, if you want to do something like this, keeping it small would be best.

Wow I just realized that there are TWO rivers going through Le Hobo. My city is going to be a cash cow for sure. Alright, what to do, what to do. Send the worker directly below Le Hobo to road that tile, then road the square to the right of the grass land square to prepare an invasion corridor...

Wow I totally forgot about this and even with me posting second that I'd be interested. I'll take Tours if that's alright and rename it Le Hobo.

Excellent, I'm downloading the new files. The Aoi system has subs really weak but with large bombard values and ROF 4-6 and lethal sea. You might want to give them stealth attack as well so instead of trying to sink the escorts the subs can slip past and sink the transports, but seeing as the...

I always thought the scenario that was missing here was a "gang war" scenario. You'd have a map based on a city, like escape from zombie island, and the 'cities' would be strategic areas in the town like '4th and Main' or 'Jim's Pet Store'. The civs would be the various organizations out there...

Yeah the problem with normal civ naval combat is that subs are almost useless, same for destroyers (who's only real use lies in detecting subs). I'll look forward to the fixes for the pedia, the game crashes almost every time I check a unit.

A lot of people simply don't want to read walls of text. :dunno: What can ya do? Post lots o pics I guess.

Pope Boniface IX sanctions our invasion by declaring it a crusade with a papal bull. This gives us the legitimacy we need to swell our ranks with crusaders from all over Europe, not to mention with our focus no longer solely on the holy land we can field many more knights then Siegfried could...

A few things after downloading: Errors in the 'pedia: I also see a few 'discover their use' units, no offense, but that kinda annoys me. I'd like to know how to effectively use my arsenal to plan what I'm going to build (that's like if I were to show a leader a laser gun and tell him 'it's...

@lord baal: Everything you said was true, at best it was a draw... short term it was a loss, long term a draw due to its effects on the us military. Anyway... thread need moar pics!
