You know?? Can you give us a rough date of release?

Personally I would love it if they jumped a few centuries for the next one. Wolves from the sea or storm of arrows would be good.

You may talk the talk and appear to be quite easy going to foster popularity, but to the MAN I say F*CK YOU." And Steve G is F******g rude ? Just another day on the BF forum ... one demented idiots reaction to BF disagreeing about the thickness of the armour on a Tiger II turret mantlet.

I would be happy with just a rough estimate of its release. The game formula really clicks with me and has sparked interest in eras I never really had interest in before, like Alexander's conquests and the Diadochi.

Sir Slash

So, how detailed are the campaigns? A cascading series of larger, tougher battles? Do you get to keep the same units throughout? Do you get replacements between battles? Can you recruit new units? Do you have to correctly spell, 'Diadochi'? Details please.

If you don't like Diadochi, you could always try using Epigoni, though that applies to a slightly later period. 

I've always found Diadochi easier to spell than Successors, which is what you should probably call them in modern English.

(And if you aren't familiar with the Avalon Hill/GMT Successors game, you owe it yourself to take a look).

I have not played a campaign yet - working through some epic battles first, like Magnesia. It is the biggest battle I have played so far. But later tonight or tomorrow I will probably start the Alexander campaign and then a Diadochi campaign, if there is one...I don't remember. There are between 10-15 campaigns available with the Immortals and Legions Triumphant campaign, with epic battles out the wazoo if you have both DLCs. Awesome game.

And you can pull my Diadochi from my cold dead hands.

I really owe this game a lot - it has ignited my interest in Greek history like nothing that has come before, even the TW series. I dig me some cataphracts, armored elephants, and hoplites, yo.

And I REALLY would love to know what is next for the DLC!!

Automatic buy for me.

I'm still praying for an Age of Rifles remake based on this engine.

Napoleonics first.

There's actually a FoG rule book for that.

I'd buy a reboot of P&S using this engine and mechanics too, though.

Didn't Jomni say above that Pike and Shot: Campaigns (which I also really enjoy but not as much as FoG2) is built in the same engine that FoG2 is?

I definitely wouldn't complain if a Napoleonics version came next.  8)

Actually I'd love a Horse and Musket era. Then we'd have the Northern War, Spanish Succession, Seven Years...etc. That would be interesting as it isn't covered as Napoleonic. However...yeah that would be cool too!

I noticed that it's mechanical predecessor, Hannibal is getting a new version release this year.

Been hoping someone would do another version of Successors.

Any good sources or tutorial on applied tactics for FoG 2?
I really want to like the game, but I think I don't yet get it or something. I just end up moving my lines forward square by square until they run into an opponent.
The next battle is the same.

Obviously this isn't supposed to be the case so I'm gladly enlightened by you all.
