I just want to say one more time how much I am enjoying this game. I haven't had this much fun in a GSG since Crusader Kings 1 and I think the 'Wow" factor is equal to the first time I played EU2 17 years ago.
You nailed it. I'm absolutely dazzled by this game.
It'd be pretty cool if we could grant honorifics to Legions. I've been calling V. Legion "Ferrata" since they've done so much in the Samnite and Cisalpine Gallic Wars. If we could simply rename units, that'd be groovy, but it would be a nifty mechanic if you could apply an honorific to a u...
Okay sold, I stop sulking, and will buy at Slitherine shop as it is the more Ageod here, even i don't have FoG2 here but at GOG edit: 53.99€ box version with shipping :/ , maybe for a game I won't play. I think I will wait for my next anniversary cupon... If you buy it on Steam, it's only 39.99...b...
Agreed! I have 21 hours in already and I'm just delighted! I don't use the FOG2 battles as much as I thought I would, but they are a nice touch for when I want to manage the battle myself.
Okay, so I'm finally not failing. As Rome, I have most of Italia absorbed, the dang Gauls beat me to the Etruscans, but that's a fight for another day. For now. Those blasted Samnites are holed up in their small-frontage mountains just smashing everything I send. I get Cavalry and Legions are probab...
It's great fun to play and I know I'll get better as I start to put things together, but it's always nice to be reminded why I'm not in charge of things IRL.
It's very reasonably priced! On Steam, if you already own FOG II, you can "complete your collection" by adding Empires for $29.99 (which I did, thank you very much!) or list price is $39.99 - quite reasonable!
What sort of role does supply play? Similar to older AGEOD titles? I like the war of maneuver that maintaining supply lines forces and the way it can be used to force battle or avoid it, depending on desire/skill.
Yeah, I would say I am super-excited for FoG: Empires out the gate, whereas the thought of buying Imperator: Rome for the skeleton of a game and then locking in hundreds of dollars of DLC for a fleshed game. Eh. I quit Paradox when HOI4 came out and I didn't buy it, just because I knew the initial i...
edit: I figured this out already, and also bough FOG: II to get the hang of things before Empires drops. Also, FOG: II is really well done! So, I'm somewhat confused (normal state for me). Is there a rudimentary tactical battle system native to FOG: Empires and you have the option to export to the ...
