I like the look of the game and am looking forward to playing it. The weather overlay is nice but I would make the weather appear over water hexes as well, that would make it look a bit more consistent, now it looks a bit strange that is doesn't rain of snow on the ocean.

<t> If you want this scenario to feel more "real", then the tech tree needs to be stripped down by renaming "Light Tank II" to "Medium Tank" and perhaps Light Tank III to "Heavy Tanks". Or even have special events giving you those upgrades for free. But keep in mind this scenario was not designed to ...

Well I'm back, I suggest we continue the game on September 1 with the "original crew"... how about it?

Well, I'm leaving on holiday tomorrow for two weeks, so I guess the "pause" will continue a bit longer. I'm still for continuing the game when I get back, perhaps even with all the original players.

It's time Vic made a flash-version of the game you can play in your browser&nbsp;[8D]

<t> Turn to Tom.<br/>
<br/>
Some aerial skirmishes and my troops took another village. Slowly some more juicy targets are coming into range...<br/>
<br/>
As for my opinion on pause/replace/play 2 empires: I don't really have a strong opinion on anything as long as the player whose empire it is ...

I will play my turn this evening. Was at a festival near Ratingen yesterday and got back really late.

<t> Turn to Tom.<br/>
<br/>
My forces liberate 2 Viking villages and welcome their people into our Empire by immediately rebuilding the damaged houses.<br/>
At sea a Viking carrier group ventured into range of land-based aircraft which attacked it with great fury. Only a burning battleship ...

Turn to Tom

Continue to move towards his peripheral villages which are more heavily defended than anticipated. Nevertheless, my air force comes into play now and the pendulum is now swinging in favor of my forces.

--- Declaration ---<br/>
<br/>
Due to the continued harassment of our shipping lanes, including but not limited to the blockading of humanitarian aid to the Vandal Kingdom, the Phoenician Empire has found itself forced to declare war on the Vikings in order to reclaim ...

Turn to Tom

Bad weather hampers movement everywhere... Gladly the good weather will return soon.

Turn to Tom

My Western and Eastern units will meet next turn, completing the Grand Phoenecian Empire's initial expansion. Now to organize all that production into something coherent...

Turn resent (an hour ago)

<t> Turn to Tom<br/>
<br/>
My circumnavigation of the globe is nearly complete. Contact has now been established with both Tom and Archduke, but the latter has yet to respond to my communications... Probably too involved in fighting the Sea Raiders, or so I hope, but that submarine group off one ...

<t> I'm not manually transferring production.<br/>
<br/>
Most of my HQ's are building roads and ports to unlock locations that are not located on the sea. Only then their production can be re-routed. Also on some of the bigger continents, I need HQ's to support scouting parties heading in-land. My ...

Turn to Tom.

This one took me over 2 hours and I still have the feeling I didn't check everything I wanted to...

HQ's? I've got about 40 of them... all scattered over little islands trying to connect inland villages to the sea so their production can be sent someplace useful... A real nightmare.

I'm working on it... like I said last time, production routing is taking the most time, and you need to plan ahead in this game..

No turn here either, I will be able to play tomorrow morning if it arrives by then

<t> Turn to Tom.<br/>
<br/>
We had a small incident where a scout plane of mine was shout down by a Viking cruiser...<br/>
<br/>
The turns are really laborious to do. Especially figuring out how to route production properly to all those islands and sailing many small ship groups around. I'm ...
