Did you intentionally want shroud off ?

Jeffrey:

Actually, it was I that 'randomized' the map - and I don't usually play with shroud on - and Bombur hasn't told me about the shroud.

Besides, I have taken a look at the map when figuring out who the human players should be - so as to give everyone a fair start - something me and my friends usually do together, but here .. impossible - so it would give me an unfair advantage.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Oh ok. I understand your point. I usually just let 'er rip and hope for the best on the initial start. But since Zaratoughda's mod for production balancing has been developed, I don't have as big problem with bad starting positions in random games.

Regardless, it's still going to be fun.

From tye realism POV, shroud make sense for pre industrial age scenarios, but I don�t think it is a good idea for XX century ones, that�s why I didn�t see any trouble with starting setup.

Turn 6. I started in a good position, but I also have an AI+ player in my continent. My dreams to build a powerful navy will be delayed....

The expansion phase is almost over. The Trinity country managed to be 2nd place in production. Unfortunately, the Southern continent is divided with 2nd society, which is 1st place and have 50% more pp. We managed to occupy a big city in a small peninsula which is located well in the enemy country. I hope to force the enemy to fight in two fronts. Meanwhile, I will build a fortified defensive line (images to be posted soon) in the border with the Second society...

Turn 15, the two armies make contact, my artillery inflicts light losses to the enemy forces.
In other news, we realized that the Aanamistic killers already have superior air forces. They developed level II planes.

Turn 25: We are slowly pushing the Secon Society Armies back to their territory. The AI doesn�t like to build artillery, so it�s almost impossible for an AI player to make successfull offensives with WWI technology. However, one I passed from defense to attack, my own losses skyrocketed....

I captured the first city from the Second Society (the damaged city in the small peninsula). The next city (Cattleroad) will be much tougher, as the enemy has more than 200 units defending it. I must surround the city, reduce it ti rubble with artillery and only then I could try an assault.
