As mentioned the Numidia event seems to disappears after a set period anyway. My speculation is simply that perhaps you selected it in the last turn before it would have timed out anyway.

Strategy

Perhaps you selected options beyond your EP ability to pay for them? The game allow you to do that; e.g., select a 5 EP option and a 10 EP option, even if you only have 12 EP available. When that happens, the choice of which option actually gets played seems to be random (or perhaps based on the ord...

Yeah; you have to be a little careful in Spain. Hadrianus + 2 Legions can hold his own with a bit of luck, but he cannot stop everything, and if a big stack approaches, get out of the way. It's nothing to be worried about, though; once you can spare 2 or 3 Legions for the fight there, you'll almost ...

Strategy

Have finally cracked this one as Marius, I think. It does require a bit of luck though; if you get caught in too many unfortunate battles or key maneuvers don't work out, you will end up losing slowly but surely. The key, as always, is to keep an eye on what matters - the VP. Rome is the main source...

Ah... found the issue. Auto-generating ballistae. Not quite sure why they turn up, as I was set to march through the region, but there they are.

I've had a couple of cases where my units get "stuck" in a province; i.e., suddenly they go from moving through provinces in 4-7 days to taking 140 (or more) days to enter provinces (meaning that they do not move). I assume this is a bug, since it does not happen regularly, and I cannot see any obvi...

Exactly, but that's a problem for the developers... like you said, like Magitech. To be able to feed your children, you need to stop doing what you like and start doing IPhone games... :bonk: Hey, hey ... nothing wrong with doing iPhone games. ;) I actually think there are many interesting possibil...

Strategy

Are there other of them which I've never heard about? Did you already play these games? What do you think about them? Is it worthwhile buying them? Koei - the guys behind Rise of the Three Kingdoms - is Asia's most profilic strategy game developer (perhaps in the world - can't think of any competit...

It is not a computer, not a phone but just fill the hole inbetween and I think it will be useful to many people. to me, it will be. It's called a netbook. :neener: (i.e., the device between a computer and a phone). Some people yells because it is too expensive... it is not, as an Apple product. If ...

Strategy

I was thinking about something else too. I read in your forum that you states your project is a little over-ambitious for a single man, and I agree with that ( main reason of time delay ).<...snip...> Thanks for the advice. I can reassure you, though, that there already is a production plan in plac...

Oh, by the way, Mr Strategy, ;) I've just taken a look at your Imperium Project. It looks very promising. Can you bring us further informations ? It's a work still in progress as it seems, but I sense great possibilities !! :thumbsup: Thanks for the interest. Think Imperium Romanum II (or similar b...

I'm on the fence about the game mechanics/interface, which I did not feel were at all intuitive when I messed around with the demo; doing even the simplest actions seemed rather complicated. Interface needs a revamp for usability. But I'm with Arsan on the graphics. They may not be what I'd consider...

I agree with Jarrko that the primary draw of the Wii is how it has made gaming social and fun. The only game console I have is a Wii (in fact, it is the first one I've ever owned - before that I was 100% a PC gamer), and the reason is really very simple: it is the only console that has games that I ...

Strategy

NPC could have been a lot better + I would love to see an ancient game set around the med - but a very different game, maybe a year per turn. EDIT: Maybe a year per turn doesn't work for games like these but there is always the problem of how to make games spanning a hundred years or more without m...

Bought the game (in a store - much cheaper that way). Been playing as Sweden for the past few days. Currently own half of Europe, am the only non-native power in India, and have a foothold in America. Researched all the techs and built every building to max and I still have 300,000 gold. Considering...

Go see Slumdog Millionaire . An Indian "City of God" crossed with Hollywood feel-good movie-making that ends up (IMO) as a surprisingly great film. Great soundtrack too - the train sequence is awesome. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, and it's not particularly "deep" as such, but it's definitely w...

Was Greven the historian on the team? I recall having some long (but interesting) discussions with him waaay back in the days...

Strategy

The product may be given away for free, but users still require services (i.e., consulting, courses, and support). Big companies might also choose to release something as open-source/free because it supports some other element of their business strategy (e.g., IBM and the Eclipse project).

Strategy

There exist open-source wargames already of course; "Battle for Westnoth" being perhaps the best example, and several Civilization clones. I'm no expert on open-source (although I'll be representing my department at the awards for promotion of open-source software in Norway next week :thumbsup: ), b...

Strategy

The book you do link to is supposed to be rather good (I got it recommended at some time). Haven't read it myself yet, though. This is a pretty good on-line history on the conflict.

Strategy

arsan, I am a bit surprised that you are unfamiliar with the thirty years war. But perhaps it is because you don't think of it in that context. For Spain, after all, the Thirty Years War was mainly just a sideshow of the Eighty Years War (1568 - 1648), i.e., the Dutch Rebellion. Of course, it may no...

Hmm... good one, Pocus.

That's a good one.

I also liked the Order of the Stick Tribute.

Troy is one of the few reviewers out there these days who primarily reviews strategy games, so it's not surprising that he would produce a well-reasoned review.

Great review of ACW on Gameshark by Troy S. Goodfellow. Congrats. A quote: American Civil War demonstrates that AGEod is on to something. The recently released Napoleonic Campaigns is yet another variation on the system, and each version of the engine shows that Thibaut and company understand the di...

Sad news indeed. Fraser is one of the great authors of historical fiction we've had. Oh - and he had a Bond movie on his conscience as well.

Look up Spam; more specifically Forum Spam.

There is a reason why at least one forum where you posted this exact same message deleted it out of hand; it is a simple matter of net-etiquette.

Strategy

I would. The same person has been posting at least 10 message boards (probably many more). That makes the post above spam. Spam about a wargame perhaps (I'm not about to download it to find out whether its a virus or legitimate) - but still spam.

Read Sloperama Productions Game Design FAQs starting with #01 & #11. The writing may be somewhat snarky, but it is (or should be) required reading for anyone who is interested in game development (regardless of which aspect they may be interested in).

A game with great atmosphere was Emperor of the Fading Suns, alas, it was released in late beta status and so had many problems (bugs and very poor AI). Emperor of the Fading Suns remains one of my "holy grails" of strategy gaming - I've been tinkering with a design for such a game for years (but t...
