1) Independence
Bearing the glorious name of La Fayette, I felt compelled to play that scenario as the Americans (just to see how swiftly it was possible to tear the English to pieces
).
The English stroke a hard blow to start with, namely taking New York. But I was lucky enough to buy the city back immediately, and that gave me a fleet.
I sold a number of improvements to finance the fighting (but I should have sold even more; I confess it breaks my micromanager's heart every time). Second mistake: a stronghold in the north that wasn't really strong enough and cost me some losses and some gold.
Tried to ally with the French and the Indians, but they didn't feel like it and this ended with a sneak attack by the French (poor La Fayette, sneak attacked by the French!!).
All out war from then on. I stopped in August 1780, having conquered anything except the 2 cities of Halifax and Port-au-Prince. The defenders inside those cities are some kind of special cavalry: attack = 15, defence = 15.
I didn't feel like starting that kind of butchery.
(I do it tonight and let you know)
2) Apocalypse
I played that scenario last week, as the Enlightened (... made me think of EyesofNight
).
I found it fun, but could not finish it: when I happen to discover Nuclear Fission, the game says 'error' and it's over. I tested all kinds of restarts during well over an hour: no result.
Has anyone played that scenario to the end?
Has anyone sound advice to give about what seems to be a bug?
Thank you.
