March, 1800 to CerberusIV

It looks like ships have no bombard capability? Any idea why?

Will golden ages be triggered by any/all of our UUs?

What are victory points being awarded for?
[edit: I found the description of the point system, but still can't figure out how to find the VP locations...]

And so it was that Captain Emre and his troop were again encamped at the Ottoman - Austrian border.

The small village had played host to many such delegations over the centuries past. They brought forth warm food and hot drink. The Captain even allowed the taking of the local Grappa. A liquid of great fire.

Ahh, he thought, here they come. These Hussars sure do look the part in their uniforms.

The Hussar Captain dismounts with great flair.

Yet again Diplomatic words are passed along by both sides.

Papers and satchels are exchanged.

With this transaction completed, a toast to the two Lord of their fine lands is proposed.

The Austrian troop dismounts, and the various men take the small cups, the drink is taken and a cheer is raised by both sides.

Here the Austrians remount, and with the style of great horsemen, they wheel their horses and head back to their Lord.

Captain Emre looks to the sky, and ponders a this moment, this is becoming a regular occurance! My brother should be here with a small Inn.

With a sharp whistle, he calls his troop to order.

"Ok lads, lets us be off to Mostar again!"

I belive that each golden age is triggered by that countries UU winning its first ever battle.

This pic is from a Napoleonic game. It shows the Victory Markers.

This one was once Paris....

Lt. Ferencsik took the bundle from the unfamiliar Hussar captain and unceremoniously turned north into a bitter March wind, destined for Prussia. "These winds are heavy with promise of war...".


Are those monuments supposed to be visible before a city is razed?

Yes, they should be there...

Ok, I am going to go check now....

[Paddy]

Ok, this pic shows two Austrian Cities and the Victory Markers

[Rommel2D]

Didn't notice them before, thanks.

[CerberusIV]

The no bombardment for ships is just one of those scenario specific changes. I guess it is to downplay naval warfare and to stop the AI in particular spending all its time bombarding coastal cities.

Is this a subtle hint for him to attack Austria?

[Rommel2D]

A thinly veiled threat, I think.

[Paddy]

Och Jock

you ask for help

you get help

the example used is your cities....

and you find this a thinly veiled threat???

be glad we don't have roller coasters yet...

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Don't you just love politics.

[Paddy]

Yes, lots of fun.

have you played the board game "Diplomacy"?

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I played it many years ago. I felt this scenario could be very "political" especially as a DemoGame.

[Rommel2D]

Cerb, did you get the turn this morning?
