warspite1 -> Newbie vs AI Empires and FoG II AAR (9/7/2019 3:15:28 PM)

I thought I would give this a go and see if it tickles my fancy. I've downloaded both FoG II and Empires with the plan being to export the battles to FoG II. Sounds technical for a technophobe like me but I'll give it a go and see what happens.

As usual the plan is to launch straight into the game and read up as I go along as I really can't be bothered to do a load of reading beforehand.

serious suggestion, read/skim section 3 of the manual (overview), 4.1 will give you a feel for the difficulty levels (these work differently to many other games), the table in section 7.4.4 is probably the most important single page in the manual and sections 16-18 in different ways may help orientate you around how the key mechanics slot together.

a lot of people have simply crashed badly in their first game(s) by ignoring the culture/decadence mechanics as the result of ill-planned early expansion tends to be brutally fatal. Equally a rough idea how the trade system works will really help with economic management.

Thanks loki and I will do - assuming the guys over at Slitherine can suggest something. Sadly as is its totally unplayable and I haven't got a clue why it should be happening [:(]
