Pompey v Caesar Questions

Post by SteveD64 »

1). I've been starting and restarting this scenario as I learn the game, playing as Pompey. The first couple of turns are scripted- Pompey heads over to Greece then decides to go east or west. The player doesn't have to move him, he just teleports. Question: is the fall of Syracuse also scripted? I had a nice size garrison that was attacked and the result was Stalemate. The next turn Syracuse fell without a fight. Did the AI play Treachery or will Syracuse fall regardless of what Pompey does?

2). When you buy propaganda when does it take effect? Immediately or sometime in the future?


I am enjoying this game a lot so far. [:)]
