May many fans wish to see new screenshots?

Well, there really isn't that much interesting to view while the user interface is as "unvarnished" as it is currently. But I'll see what we can do.

Ok, just take your time

Well, you asked for it.

A screenshot from the new battleengine has been uploaded. Graphics are of course strictly utilitarian at this point, so don't say I didn't warn you.

The new battle engine represents a step towards greater simplicity in the battles, and provides a very quick resolution of battles.

Nice battleengine. Look as a Hannibal's army against Rome's army.....He he.

Hannibal have a super cav. divisions and may elephants...

I study how Carathage can avoid to visit the Alpe...the big mountain....It costs many Hannibal's armies, special elephants....They have no winter-clothes.....they were been attacked of small tribes in Northern Italy.....

But Hannibal was a great of strategic and embassy for other tribes to allianse and support as scouts and hated Rome.

Wow, looks like the Indians have lots of elephants.

Wisdom · « **Reply #7 on:** October 20, 2003, 02:19:19 PM »

Hmm, elephants have 6 (str) and 12 (many)?

Strategy · « **Reply #8 on:** October 20, 2003, 02:33:16 PM »

No, elephants have 6 combat factors (which all full strength units have) and 12 frontage (which basically just means that 1 elephant fills double as much space as 1 heavy infantry, who typically have 6 frontage).

Wisdom · « **Reply #9 on:** October 20, 2003, 03:16:49 PM »

Mm, I see a roman regiment have 6/12 and a indan elephant regiment have 6/12, so they are same good to fight? But Elephant is may big thing than the roman regiment, but they have great throw against elephants.....?

If a regiment army have done many battles, will experianse raise so good and str/frontage will raise?

Let me understand.....

Elephants have with many battles in real histories, spesial King of the Epirus try to conquer in Italy, he took with elepants. And later Hannibal's armies. And later Indan armies.

All will be clear in time...

The brief explanation: frontage determines how many units can attack out of a sector at a time; thus if 2 elephants attack out of a sector (total frontage: 24) you could instead have 4 close-order infantry attacking. The Roman infantry (velites) have a frontage of 12 because they are in open order.

Experienced units tend to have smaller frontages than other units; thus the two Crack regiments in the Macedonian army have a frontage of 3 rather than 6; this is because there are less men in the unit providing the same number of "combat factors"; i.e., they pack more punch into less space.

The actual combat strength of a unit is hidden in the hit chance of units (not shown in the two screenshots), and the interplay between frontage and combat speed.

Sorry, but a detailed explanation of all that would require me to write the manual, which I don't have time for right now.

But if it is long to work, so we have many other games to do

Strategy · « **Reply #15 on:** November 10, 2003, 06:26:49 PM »

Game development is progressing well, but there is still a deal of time before you're going to be able to buy this...

Wisdom · « **Reply #16 on:** November 15, 2003, 08:30:15 PM »

Okey - Sound tense.

Hmm, i see Port is not nearest the main city in Karthago. It is normal to have port on cities.....The coast can land without port/cities if the coast is low, look as sand.....

Just my opinion....

Can we build "nature forts" of soldiers, mean a nature defence..... The Romans is very experience to build a nature forts with easy stone and tree..... Libybaeum should be a strong nature fort... As i have readed of Carthage Wars.

Syrasuse must be VERY hard to conquer, The Romans got a traitor to help to open the main door and they killed a famous thinker.... ( Pity ). If the traitor did not, so it could be a long besiege may as 5-10 years....

General's face (picture) is may boring as a red color, of course you know nothing how real face, but you can make a design.... See as the AVATARS from forum

I see Pyrrhus's picture, it is ok, but wish more different....

And...what mean the red line on the map? Call well control of a army on 3-4 compartments?
