I have only played the sandbox games. I have to admit that I have not played since before the Steam release. I look forward to the improvements. I just have to get out of the vicious Shadow Empire - TWIII cycle I am caught in. Thank goodness DW2 is still a bit mucked up.

^It will be worth your time!

I don't remember which map I used for my Assyria game, but it was a large one.

I may try one of the 'East v. West' maps for Persia. I think those maps have other local powers spread out in roughly historical areas to start.

I got the auto victory as Babylonia in turn 172, exceeding 68 points.  Carthage was next at 51.  I would post a picture but no idea how :)

If you're playing through Steam hit the F12 key to take a shot.

Nice job Gibby. :bd:

Pretty decisive.

Time to ramp up that difficulty  :)

First attempt at Salamis I got stuffed by the Persians.

Second attempt revenge was obtained and I won a fairly comfortable victory.

The difference ?

All depends on your performance in the first mini scenario at marathon. Simply the more Persian units you kill at marathon the more Greek ships you get at Salamis. In the first game I killed about 22 Persian units at marathon and ended up with 4 bonus Greek ships. Second attempt I killed 32 and got 8 bonus Greek ships...made a big difference. Also...rather than choosing the fireship/Coxwain promotions I stuck with Focus and Combat strength for most of the Greek ships just going for raw combat power. Seemed to work better but it may just have been a result of the increased number of friendly ships.

^Thanks man. So I guess I will try from the start of the Battle of Marathon again...I just don't think I have enough power with the small number of ships I have in my saved game. OR...I just begin my big honkin' Persia game.

I feel deflated that I had to lower the difficulty but Salamis was near impossible for me without doing that.

I may put this aside momentarily to start a big ol' Persia campaign...I am liking the sandbox game moreso than the scenarios. More flexible ways to win and a lot more to do - the combat in Old World is not the highlight for me.

I know people have complained about it - I don't hate it, but I enjoy it more as part of a bigger game than the highlight.

The combat needs context.

Started my Persia campaign last night, about 40 turns in and Egypt has already declared war on me  >:(

Carthage and Greece are also in the game.

New in this game is the fact that my own families don't like me very much. This ruler ended up dying naturally, but there were multiple attempts to assassinate him.

Have you been upsetting your relatives again Gus ?
