<t> I have the same problem - inability to place any depot in a besieged Lisbon while at war with Spain. All I could do is using invasion supply for the troops encircled in the city. By the way, would I get a chance to choose to retreat a corps into a city (with enough space for the factors) when co...

<r> Ah, you guys are still talking under this thread. Heh.<br/> <br/> By the way, my main concern is more about when the patch will come out (or is it already there that I don't know?) to fix the diplomacy thinking freeze. I have a couple of games right in this type of stalemate. <SM sm="00000506.gi...

Thank you. Isn't the patch available, is it?

My game didn't go further beyond AI's endless thinking in the diplomatic phase. The situation happened after the whole bunch of AI-controlled Prussia's forces had got eliminated in the previous land combat phase. Is it dragging its heels so as to snap out of the need to go through a surrender?

The blood-soaked player at the computer - as below your name - is so scary...

It'd then be another different game (Empires in Miniatures).

Just curious. Why must the two ways of delivery be at the same time? Heh.

He might be unable to play there. Fraught with danger. ^0^"

<t> The Spaniards could use a donning of red coats and acquire a semblance of Anglo manners without having to pay the cost of harassing the Gauls. [:'(]<br/> <br/> Ral might mean that, there is no such thing as declaration (e.g. shouting right before the movement phase) of concerted movements with a...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: jamo262<br/> <br/> <br/> Unfortunately the concept of dominant status is missing from the game. Dominant status functioned to define a set of long term territorial goals for each country. It definitely was an asset to game play as it shaped each players strategic t...

The game is about patience in waiting.&nbsp;[:'(]

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Alan_Bernardo<br/> <br/> <br/> I can understand the confusion between the two, as they sound the same.

It might come in 7 "major" languages initially. ^(~,~)^

The developers might've wanted to put out a couple of such creations only to tempt us into asking more. Heh. [:'(]

<t> I am not convinced enough that the AI was playing out this way. Was it just tempted to attack whatever was close enough to it or in its way? (Remember how the AI - in COG - keeps attacking with the same inferior numbers till winnowing to the bare minimum through being captured, as long as your f...

If prices are already final, could we have a look at the manual now while in wait? *(^o^)*

Is there any way of reversing decisions, say, about moving counters?

I might've missed it. What is the level of AI for France? Does it have anything to do with how likely a non-human player would tough out an adverse situation that France was facing?

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Mardonius<br/> <br/> Does look quite smart. Well done.<br/> <br/> Question for Ralegh et alias though... how often will the AI leave the French Fleet (and the minor capitals) unguarded by a garrison?
