I would think a big bucket of Immortal Water would handle the Immortal Fire quite nicely. How large are the battles portrayed in this game? Is there a size limit? Anything Gaugamela-sized? Or are they more along the lines of a Gus-sized fight?

  Cannae is in Field of Glory II with a 40-square front implying 50-meter squares which is consistant with bow range at 4 squares assuming Cannae had a roughly 2 km front (overpacking the legions badly as happened in reality).  In comparison with the Pike and shot game things are a lot more satisfying in terms of leaders and movement (there are leaders in FOGII and you can move whole formations or commands with single inputs to the UI).  So battles can be pretty big.  2-3 km frontages would be about the limit of what an ancient army could manage I would think and the game covers that very well.

This bodes well for a Pike & Shot 2..

Gen. Freyberg: "Well, if you wave at them they'll usually wave back."

Has Pike and Shot 2 actually been announced?

Not that I'm aware of, but if they do, the improvements to the engine that we're seeing with FOG2 will make it a must buy.

It needs more improvement in engine to depict mixed units properly. So I say it's a long way to go. But still possible. Besides there's a lot of DLC to cover until Middle Ages.

Not in any contractual, legally-binding sense mind, but Ian TOLD ME it would come out.  At Historicon.  On the order of five years ago.

hhmm...this is Matrix/Slitherine, they never release prices anymore until release day:)

I won't even hazard a guess since the core game was cheaper than I thought......once we see the price for the DLC, we'll see if this is how they plan to recoup costs:)

What the heck, I'll guess a price of $9.99...of course this time it will end up higher:)

Wow!  Maybe I'll have finished my Umbrian campaign by then.  And for only 9.95 (in Umbrian Seed pods) I'll finally get some
Xenophones!

Day one purchase!  The base game is superb.

Oh damn.  That was fast!

I've barely scratched the base game.

Too many games, not enough lifetimes.

Awesome.  I'll get anything that comes out for FoG 2 at this point, even if it was Koalas vs. Flaming Pigs. 

Such a great game.
