Re: New Game?

Would love to see them do this. I actually endured a brief time of real-time nausea in order to play my beloved Kievan Rus nation in CK 2 until I could take it no longer .... I'd buy it just for the AGEOD strategic layer. No need of the tactical battle system tie-in (for me) unless RBS was to go bac...

So - How's the New Diplomacy ?

I'm pondering a painful tearing away from PON to give this a try but was waiting for the Diplomacy to improve ....

What do you guys think of the new features and overall enjoyment level for the diplomatic aspect now ?

Re: Rise of Prussia, Revolution under Siege and Civil War nostalgia and engine question

hmm .... Did they not achieve that with FOG Empires? That's a real question - not a challenge - since I have not really had a chance to play with it too much. A while back I had asked what was (after PON of course) the next best AGEOD game for economic development and politics - and Pocus had stated...

Re: Taking Constantinople from Turks Possible?

Thanks Pocus. That's a tall order however considering all the regions in the Ottoman Empire. On the upside, I *do* have the capital and the Austrians, Greeks and some other minor states crawling all over the Turkish corpse with me like a colony of ants. Just need to stay the course and use my mantra...

Taking Constantinople from Turks Possible?

I have most of Anatolia under my control, including Constantinople but I am maxing out at around the 120s in War Score.

Has anyone been able to drive it up above 200 and officially claim Constantinople?

If so, any tips would be welcomed !

Re: See how many soldiers in an army...

+1 on this - coupled with traditional AGEOD classic unit / leader stands as an option.

Add (via paid DLC) some additional minor nations / tribes not covered and some adds to dev / politics and my Steam wallet will be pointed in AGEOD's direction.

Re: Historical Resource Placement?

Right - you need that for the specific Colonial Action - but the mere presence of the unit also has a small chance to discover the resource even if the unit is idle:

In considering my next Prospecting missions, I started to wonder if the resource placements have been seen (by players) to be reasonably accurate? For example, when it comes to Petroleum in Russia, doing a bit of study, I see that they now have a very large set of fields in the Samoltor / Nizhnevart...
