I do hope however that you have some additional unit description... I know what a horse is, but what is a "Roman equite"?
I totally love the mapgraphics too, it fits the era.
Well done well done.

great look & interesting units, cool terrain graphics (even your unit counters are well designed). Can't wait to see & play the final game.
Good luck!

Holy smokes that's about where I live... barbaric country. Move on folks nothing to see here but bears wolves and uncivilized unwashed hordes.
By the way just ask anything you want to ask, there are quite a few skilled developers around here, including Vic.

Status: offline 		Question about the above map (the one in barbaric country or thereabouts):

How have you defined the "bridges" across the full hexes of water? Are they just "roads" in "sea" hexes? If so have you tested them to see what happens if a unit ends its movement on one of them, and it is not a naval unit. And similar what happens when a unit ends there because of fighting?

I believe there might be a problem with it, if they are defined like i described. I think that the units may "disappear" or simply be eliminated if they end their movement on these...

about your question: the hexes represent a permanent stone bridge over the Rhine (in effect a "road" across the "water").

The Rhine (...and the Danube) formed most of the northern inland frontier of the Roman Empire and a vital and navigable waterway carrying trade and goods deep inland. I have to be able to sail the ships along the Rhine and move the troop across the bridge. I solved the problem in this way.

I have tested them and apparently everything works. The "Legio VI" move true the bridge... wait for two turns... and move over without penalty .

Thanks for question and... sorry for my bad english!

At the first: Vic, thank you very much! This game and the engine is simply great!!! And thanks for your support!

I know that you are really busy (ATG, DC:WTP, DC:CB ...and the "new mystery project"), but I wonder if in the future you will be able to help me for my project (...if is possible!).

Thanks!

ETO uses a special hex that can hold and allow passage of both Naval and Ground forces also.

Nice test :) It is good to get these things out of the way. Yet you only answered one of the conditions of my questions. The second part was if combat will result in troops disappearing. The reason i write this is because that the way it functions (or functioned, might have been changed) with naval combat was if a units freight ships had been sunk, then the rest of the unit would disappear. In the case of combat on the bridge, it might be that the game thinks that the transport ships have been sunk, and then the unit disappears.

Test in progress... but don't work properly!

#1)After the attack: Destroyed (and it's ok: no movement possible)
#2)After the attack: Retreat and...evaporated! (Ok for land movement[without ship], but it isn't ok for "retreat" movement! )
#3)After the attack: Retreat

Any ideas to solve the problem?
Thanks!
