Gaming is much less satisfying without maniacal laughter. Actually most things are.

So 3:30 am and I finally dragged myself away from Empires for a couple of minutes to make myself a cup of tea.
Decided to test out Iberri before signing in to the mp game and oh boy first turn capital province gets hit with plague, next turn they have epidemic outbreaks - this is not looking good.
Now finally after 25 turns I have managed to drag my nation out of the bottom third of the decadence rankings for the first time as we reach the heady heights of CDR rank 46.
At least those pesky Lusitanians are no more.

Oh and was able to use a 38% off anniversary coupon to purchase - thanks Slitherine.

Last night I partied like it was 299bc when my Pontus reached number 22 in the rankings  \m/

A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

To be fair if the almost certainty of catching the plague doesn't deter Carthage from pushing north into your lands I really don't know what will 😱😱😱😱

Just got it, and played the short scenario...

and...got my ass handed to me by Epirus and I mean they marched into Rome and burnt the place down, I got flattened.

I'll say this, AI is no slouch and this was on NORMAL.

A little tip if you plan to use FOG 2 for battles...after you install Empires, you need to run FOG 2 once so it can complete some setup.  You don't have to fight a battle, just run it and get to the menu and then exit.  Then within Empires you can export battles.

THIS is an important bit of data that I have not seen anywhere else. It ought to be stickied and it darn sure ought to be on the Matrix forums and its not.

I'll admit, the one thing I didn't see coming was all the confusion and complaining about FOG 2 battles not being included directly within Empires.  Personally, I always viewed it as a nice optional thing the developers thrown in, but seems people seem very confused and disappointed it requires a separate game for tactical battles (i.e. making people buy another game).  I guess I can understand an "outsider" not really understanding that but I can see why developers will be hesitant ever doing this type of thing again....which would be a shame.  I absolutely have no issue with it.

I don't know what the issue is...I never thought of using FoGII as anything but optional and on the prompt when a battle is engaged it clearly states that using FoGII is optional. Last night I had a slave revolt and it was the first battle I auto-resolved.

I suspect it is mostly from people not familiar with FOG 2 prior to this coming out...which I guess I could understand.  They aren't grasping the OPTIONAL nature of it and feeling like content was purposely left out to force people to buy another product.
