In my current Judean campaign, I have arrived at a very odd situation. After the Antigonids collapsed around Turn 38, their successors, in particular the Palmyrenians, decided to have a go at me. One save scum later, I managed to fight them to a peace treaty. Since they had Syrian regions I needed t...

Although I will post my comments and observations in another thread, I wanted to take a moment to congratulate the AGEod team for a truly fantastic game. I am still learning the mechanisms of the game, but every time I learn something, it makes it all the more difficult to put the game down. So if o...

I have admittedly not followed AGEod developments for a while (although playing PoN and RuS PBEMs), so discovering FoG: Empires was the first time in a LONG, LONG while that I got excited over a new game release, but THIS, being able to combine it with FoG II's combat engine is just, just...well, th...

I cannot speak for France, but I have been playing Italy in a multiplayer setting and I am doing quite well with a smart mixture between a mercantilist and an export-oriented economy. It just means playing to your country's strengths. Italy and France have a lot of food resources, including some for...

News of a new game from AGEod is always good news. The return to a simpler model may also bring in new players that are concerned with the multitude of options offered by other AGEod titles. I must ask, is this the "new" game that was talked about or is there something else in the works that will us...

Thanks for the assist Loki, we will try this next. I do have to mention, however, that the country experiencing the biggest unrest problems (Austria) is also the country with the lowest militancy rates; in many regions it is at or slightly above 0. But since we are mostly playing for fun and role-pl...

I am currently playing an 1850 MP campaign on another wargaming forum and some of the countries have found themselves in a downward contentment spiral. It originally started as part of an international food shortage due to unfamiliarity with the game, however that has now been (mostly) corrected. Un...

Thank you for the history lesson guys, much appreciated. I must admit, the Russian Civil War is not a period of time I am most familiar with (although I did know about the Intermarium and was excited to see it modelled in-game in case of Polish victory).

Respenus

Thanks for the explanation guys. I did find it odd that you could not just use something so obvious and in front of your eyes, but if something like this was managed in real-life, then who am I to argue about this. Again, RUS Gold is a fantastic game and this does nothing to diminish its overwhelmin...

Respenus

So, to make it short, RUS-Gold is the best Ageod game, and its 2 small flaws are rather 2 tiny flaws which have maybe just to be better explained ingame to be corrected :) just some text to be added somewhere, to prevent some surprise frustration. It reminds me a mod on another AGE game adding inga...

Why you need to build transport ships ? Don't you have it already with the French or Russian White fleets of the North and Black Seas ? Actually no. The French Black Sea fleet disappeared somewhere along the way and I have no idea if it was because of something I did (perhaps forgot about it and le...

Respenus

@ andatiep I understand your position. Of course, in real life, if the Western Whites helped liberate the majority of Ukraine, the Poles would have to recognise some of their claims, but in game scripting terms, the way the event is set up right now is the best of all worlds. My only problem was tha...

Respenus

@ Arsan Thank you for reminding me. It was indeed the Gold version and the first time that I saw the White campaign through to the end. I liked the original well enough, but it had some problems with events, which is why I was looking forward to Gold. The added events for the Whites and the addition...

I have just finished my week long Western White campaign and there is only one word to describe it: Epic. Well, epic and exhilarating (and slightly exhausting). Together with Rise of Prussia representing musket warfare, Revolution under Siege Gold is the pinnacle of the classic AGE engine and design...

Respenus

The thing with AGEod's games is that they always strive for historical realism as much as possible. A consequence of this is that major nations cannot just jump around gobbling up minors in a single bite. If Prussia suddenly decided to go and forcefully annex German minors around it, both France and...

Respenus

No problem. I originally did not understand your concern, which is why my response was lacking in answers. I also know that as I player, I would be pissed off if Prussia under AI or human control would just turn around and hit me in the back the first chance it got. As concerns What If scenarios in ...

Respenus

What I am suggesting is not a what if at all but a mechanism for what actually occurred and gameplay. It isn't really an alternative. That you very much for explaining this. I am afraid I misunderstood your original post and I apologise if my reply appeared as anything less than courteous. The poin...

Respenus

So, I don't know how to put this diplomatically but this just isn't correct. He did consider it seriously more than a few times and Hannover was a major bargaining chip....the correspondences are full of of examples. Also, Britain declared war on Prussia early in 1806....why? Because Prussian troop...

Respenus

About Waterloo, do not forget that the Alternative History scripts get played out in the Grand Campaign, not the smaller scenarios. As such, you will be free to do whatever you want and use whichever troops you want in the decisive battles of your campaign (either in 1805 or 1815). As for Hanover, g...

Respenus

I just read the latest post on the website about the game, and I am just wondering what are "what if" scenarios. We know that the US joining France in 1812 is one of them, but what are the other four? Also, kudos on the tutorial videos, hopefully these will encourage more people to try AGEOD games....

@ Tamas, I do not know if we had to point out our application on the forums as we had to with To End All Wars, but I applied to the beta test using the AGEod website on 20th May.

They may not be what the marketing department ordered, but here are my suggestions.

Napoléon: La Révolution est Finie
Veillons au salut de l'Empire
The March of the Marseillaise

On one hand I sympathise with the Belgians, as Carinthia tried to block one of our coin designs for "historical" reasons. On the other hand, Waterloo is a divisive symbol, especially in the eyes of the French. With Belgium right next door, you the coins would quickly start circulating in France prop...

This is excellent news. Plus it explains Pocus somewhat cryptic response when I mentioned CP2 a couple of weeks ago. Let's give the AgeOD team some time to properly present the game before bombarding them with suggestions that they may have already taken into account. One things that does worry me i...

Respenus

Do you mean at the beginning of the game or after the war is already well under way? Which faction were you playing? We had a lot of discussions during beta testing about rail capacity and it was limited at the very start so as to prevent entire armies being redirected to a single spot. After the fi...

Respenus

That's very odd. In my CP campaign, the moment EE reached 0 NM I got the Brest-Litovsk treaty event. Maybe you should attach the save file from that turn so that the devs can have a closer look at it. As for the issues associated with the UK's rebel alignment, the devs have been made aware of it and...

Respenus

When playing the CP, I usually keep the Austrians in a defensive position and do not advance much into Serbia. This sounds a bit gamey, but it is better to wait for the Bulgarians to join you in the war, than waste tens of thousands of men over useless territory.

Respenus

Hmm, this is very odd behaviour. Right now, my CP campaign is up to August 1916 and while I've seen the AI pull one or two less then smart moves, I've otherwise been confronted with a responsive AI that can cause problems if you don't plan your moves smartly.

I prefer Steam mostly because I hate spreading my credit card info to too many retailers. And yes, I know Steam is a much better target for hackers, but they also can afford top notch security. While they don't offer newer AAA games, GOG.com doesn't store any data at all, except your account userna...
