After my 5th attempt, I finally managed to win the historical victory as antigonids. Two things I noticed. In some of the games, Carthage is taken by barbarians. (Carthage, not Carthago Nova). In the game I won, ptolomy first city was founded in Cyprus. Althought it is quite cool, Ptolomies...

Thanks for the info on mercenaries. I have an ideia that may seem stupid. Attacking units could only engage in combat with defending units in cities with walls, if those walls were damaged by seige units. btw, Antigonids are a completely different experience! Very difficult and full of action

And would cretan archers be unique on it's own, like having different base strenght and/or modifiers? Or just having the same attributes, only changing it's name ? sorry for so many questions :)

The mercenary slinger seems a nice addition! Still haven't seen any slinger in the mercenary recruitment. Do I need to own a certain province, say, Balearic Islands or Rhodos ? Also I can still recruit Archer as mercenaries, is it intended?

It was more bad play of the AI honestly. Gaul declared war on me and attacked Massilia, which fell quickly. With some 5 numidians with combatI and shock promotionI, I reconquered massilia and went northwards to the heartland of Gaul. Only when I was at Lutetia I discovered that they had 2...

Thanks for the suggestions Crossphazer. Will try Antigonids, they seem challeging. @ srpt: iirc i actually had 11 luxuries. From my cities i had 6 luxuries: pearls from sardinia, wine from sicily, gold and silver from iberia, dyes from massilia, rhodes and syria, incense from syria. I got from...

Just finished my Carthaginian game. Both srpt a DC123456789 are right. Instead of settling first in Lpqy i went to Sardinia, and when the elephants disappeared in rusadir I liberated the city to the Numidians, so the stability issue was just bad play of mine. Actually it could be an interesting...

Yes, I have the SVN version, and I know you and your fellow canadians have been busy lately! Lately, I have been playing as Carthage. I noticed that even though Rome starts with a big legionary stack, it let her cities poorly defended. When I attacked, Roma and Pompeii had 1 javelinmen, and...

I tried once to change to state religion, because it seemed the racional way to get a state religion :P but still couldn´t convert. Next time i'll pay attention to the amount of cities with the religion present. Thanks for the tips! And by the way, what an addictive MOD Cheers

Hello. I have a question. How do you change state religion in this (very promising) MOD ? I just can't seem to change from No State to a religion I may have in some of my cities.
