The map is not in its final form yet - this is a playtest map of the Phyrric wars only. Portraits are also not at all done yet; all that stuff is solely programmer art.

The red line indicates state borders. The black lines region borders and the grey lines (difficult to distinguish from the black) is area borders.

Fortifications have different levels depending on historical factors. Rest assured that Syracuse will not be fun (unless you're defending it).

I don't understand your last question.

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....

Mean you not understand my question?

So i mean.... You see picture to general or king. Often it is red color on face/picture....Reason we know not how to see the real face to General / King, so i mean we COULD set in some your FORUM of avatars. There look cool than the red/unknown face on the ingaming ^^

Example SEE my avatar. There is Hannibal. We can use the avatars to set in your personal of generals/kings and make new if you have not other pictures...

Hehe

I have already answered about the portraits in the message above. Portrait graphics are not finished, and probably won't be until very close to the end of development.

It is your last question:

Call well control of a army on 3-4 compartments?

That I don't understand.

Aha this...

I mean....

A army in a state, can also control on a other state(relgion), or just in the same state(relgion)....

And a elite foot-army can move max 1-2 state for 3 months (one turn) or just one state? What if i have a cavalry only army, will they go 1-2 states so faster?

In game terminology, every "compartment" is an area. An army can move typically 3 to 6 areas in a turn depending on whether the general is force marching or not.  And finally, cavalry does not move significantly faster than infantry (a horse-based army is generally not faster than a foot army over long distances).

Can we chosen 4 turns (every 3 months) or 12 turns (per month) or 24 turns (per half month) of one year?

Becasue I know any could like to hold long the game, than a short/full campiagn from 270 to 4 BC.

I am a fan to play long, just fun.  :P

Please ask questions unrelated to the screenshots in a separate thread; makes it easier for others who are looking for information to find it.

But to answer your question, the scenarios are all going to be designed for 4 turns a month. The scenarios can be modded to other time scales (from 1-12 turns a year), but this of course also involves modding the map, etc. (Otherwise you'll have armies marching from Spain to India in one year).
