That is good news!

In a way its good to have a counter to axes. However, having really strong counters for everything just strengthens defence even more, since you always attack the best defender. I was kinda hoping they'd realise this and weaken some of the counters.

Well the counter to in-the-field stacks is the Catapult. It's just that no one ever used to use them that way when you could just have your axeman army instead.
Plus chariots don't receive defensive bonuses, so while they still can protect a stack from axemen, it probably won't be the best use for them.

Nope, I remember seeing that in the game.

Not directly related to gameplay, but I forgot to mention how much I like a lot of the new diplomacy music, especially the Celts. Some of the new diplomacy music pieces have vocal components.

About to start my game, Vikings here I come! Will check back periodically (if I can drag myself away) to check for questions I can maybe answer.

How much did Praetorians used to cost? Manual says 8str 45 production now, dunno if that's changed at all. I can't remember all these numbers like some of you can

Installing now!

It used to be 67 shields on Epic, which i think is the same...

I got my copy of the game at lunch. I am here at work, and only have access to the manual, but I will try to field any questions anyone has to the best of my ability.

I posted a link on CFC to this page, and just thought I'd do it here too. Over there they've got some stuff to help sooth your civ-junkie needs.

Ok, so what is the purpose of the Horse Archer now?

edit:
It's limited at attacking cities.
It's not meant to attack the Axemen.
It's toast against Spearmen.
It must be made to counter the Chariots then. Is that right?

[Thedrin]

Destroying improvements. Picking off lone attackers that enter your territory.

Complimentary edit: Spearmen still counter chariots.

Got it 7-25-2006 from Gamestop in Jacksonville N C for $ 29.99 plus our 7% sales tax

Oh, and the horse archer is still decent (not perfect) at mopping up all those extra archers in small, less important cities - particularly against barbarians with zero culture.

[monkspider]

In the manual, Numidian Cavalry is listed as strength 4, instead of 5. Can anyone confirm this in game?

[monkspider]

Here is something else, the mausoleum gives great prophet points! That is new info.

[Randolph]

There wouldn’t happen to be some sort of readme text file listing the changes would there? I suppose that would be to easy.

[Thedrin]

Monkspider, can you give the details of the new promotions (such as guerilla III).

Also, does anyone know if the Gallic swordsman can gain further guerilla promotions?
