^What's wrong with you? Feel better. My allergies are kicking up again today after a very hot day of drill yesterday.

After I edited Airboy's very good review I quickly bought some DLC for the copy of FE you got for me and moved it way up in my to-game queue.

I'm pretty sure it's just a cold (albeit a real bitch of a one), with maybe a touch of bronchitis thrown in.  I come down with something every year around this time.

Which DLC did you get?  I still haven't gotten around to picking up any yet, but I keep thinking I should.

I've been sick as a dog this past week (this is the first time since Monday I've felt less than utterly miserable), so I've had little energy for games til now.   

:(

Sorry to hear that Martok.  Get better soon!

[Toonces]

Man alive, I seem to have the whole day to myself and I can't figure out what to play!  I hate when that happens!   

Ok, I need to focus, get off the damn forums, and figure this out.  STAT!   :-\

Thanks Huw.  Working on it.  :)

I find this is often a good time to spend time with a game I haven't played much yet, but have wanted to get into.

I got the heroes pack, the loot pack and the dead world pack for FE.

FWIW W8, IIRC there is a national ownership overlay in To End All Wars. Pretty sure I fiddled with it yesterday.

Thanks for the tip.  I found the button that turns this layer on and boy am I able to see clearly now.

Post a screenie here of what you are talking about and how you did it.  In case I am missing something.

[Gusington]

On my phone right now so no screenie but IIRC all of the overlay options are on a small bar at the lower right of the screen.

Pontus offered a peace deal as soon as i booted up the campaign - ill take that as i want to go west although the full campaign objectives say all that land needs to be Spartan

took Knossos to unite the Helenic states of Athens, Sparta, Knossos

I now have 4 main armies marching north to take Getea then i border Rome for real

[Gusington]

What happened to Macedon?

[undercovergeek]

athens wiped majority of their forces taking Pella from them, i walked round the back and took the rest and then kicked Athens out of Pella - tis all sparta from sparta to Ephesus on the other coast, stopped at Side in the east and currently heading on up to Etruscan League, i have 23 provinces so far

may be a no brainer for others but ive just discovered the difference between offense and defense - the spartan pikemen will stop dead any force in its tracks but it has real difficulty actually killing those forces. The agora veterans and spartan blades on the other hand are mindless killing machines but crap on defense. Case in point i had 2 sieges yesterday, the first one i scaled the walls with pikemen who climb up but cant go anywhere and they cant make gaps to get other troops in behind the defenders - almost lost that battle. This was my first fight against a good sized band of missile troops, athens, macedonia and pontus have all been about the spears but the getea are definitely more swords and slingers and they wittled the pikemen down to nothing in some cases

battle 2 i sent the swordsmen up the ladders first, total carnage, broke a vastly superior defense within minutes and then let the pikemen come in to slowly trample the survivors

im tempted to go full on swords with melee bonuses from the generals because watching them hack through everything but cavalry was great - and i have spartan royal horses for that

still learning, and still a great game

[Gusington]

So in the sieges it sounds like you are getting more gooder AI behavior, eh?

[Tuna]

get a room.. or move this to the Rome II thread!!!  lol. or do I have the wrong game?
