Re: Recruting new players - Mission Impossible?

*Unbearable Smugness*

My girlfriend is currently building far too many salamanders for my own good. Damn things are size 3 and my war minotaurs can't trample them.

Re: Mutual attacks - where do they fight?

If it does work to allow that then that's brilliant.

If you have to cause routs to prevent movement then that isn't so good.

Does anyone know how this actually works?

Re: Mutual attacks - where do they fight?

I'm unaware of any historical precedent for a conflict in which commanders felt they were able to have one main force, without patrols and pickets, and got away with it.

As for gameplay, I don't...

Re: Mutual attacks - where do they fight?

You couldn't stop the big force by throwing individual commanders at it. Given that the armies have a chance of meeting based on size you'd need at least a certain size of army to have a decent...

Re: Rate the SP AI...

The poll lacks the central "AI is ok, but no better than that" entry.

Re: Is the REAL problem with VQs...Norfleet?

Mivayan - Good testing. Kudos.

For 230 points you get a fairly scary army killer after 1 + 3 levels of research. How does she perform right at the start of the game?

This was meant to be "If you anticipated their use of this tactic from turn 2". So presumably when you spot it they are using a VQ, if you delay it will be an EQ, and further down the line an EQ...
