OK, I retooled the report dialogs for the forts and fortresses a little. These small changes are an effort to emphasize the military nature of fortress administration:

The "stores" icon has been changed to make it different from the icon used for city stores. This new icon ...

So looking forward to this game!

Many thanks for your kind words!

Do the player have any options on how to handle supply for the army when on campaign? Or navy?

Short answer is yes, the longer answer is yes but the naval supply will need to get some modest revision to match what is already ...

So, I have added an extra setting in the Limites settings which allows the player to delegate some authority for maintaining and building defenses.

Here is a small screenshot to show this in action:

This is about as close as the game comes to the kind of auto-management ...

I realized in doing the previously mentioned work that I hadn't actually done the logic for fortresses to receive supplies by water transport. And I noticed that there are some locations which will need access to water transport but don't have it at present. So, I had to do a little map editing.

In ...

Well, when I said a week, I guess that I meant a fortnight. :o

I had pretty bad writer's block until this week; I don't know why. But I did make some progress. Here is a revised version of the Limites Department, including most of the summary elements:

As you can see, two ...

Well, I have looked into the three issues that you have brought up here.

#1. My testing showed this to be a cosmetic issue. The captured French squadrons were improperly converted on the battle board to British squadrons. However, the captures were processed in Constantinople and when the repaired ...

Well, I am sorry that you ran into a couple of problems. I will look into these, of course. These do seem to be errors that need to be corrected.

OK, the previous idea was a silly one. Here is the corrected version of the "Victualia" menu:

Clicking on "Organize Logistical Planning" will bring up a menu for an Administrative Action:

Usually the players will use the "default" choice ...

Checking the code shows what you had already observed: the AI will only upgrade one army with the Horse Artillery Card, so if there is only one eligible unit in an army, the card only upgrades a single unit. Now, this is a bug, of sorts, but it isn't a destructive one. I will put it on the list of ...

Hello and thanks for the answer. I sent the files to mercenarius@forcedmarchgames.com, hopefully it will arrive

No such luck, did not get delivered. Should I use the "info" recipient ?

Best regards


Yes, please use "info" as the recipient. Thanks in advance for the saved games!

Glad that you are enjoying the game. I'll look at this issue and try to post a reply over the weekend.

I do know that the AI is happy to play the "upgrade" cards with only one candidate, but they should upgrade two if they are available. If you want to send me a saved game, that is very nice! You ...

Well, I didn't get quite as far - or as fast - as I hoped. But I do have something to share.

Under the "Victualia" section (think "Vittles") of the Limites Department in the Administrative Interface, you will now have access to this menu:

What is new is the "Plan Out All ...

Well, I haven't forgotten about all of you! This last week or so was crazy with personal business. On top of that, the video card in my 32-bit test machine died and finding a suitable replacement for hardware that old was difficult. But I keep that machine running as a gauge for checking to see if ...

Don't make compromises. We want to play the game you want to make. We'll wait for it.

First off, thanks for the compliment! I'll try to live up to the spirit of that.

The third tutorial is now done, but it took a little longer than I thought. So, I don't have much new to post on "other" logic in ...

Is there a possibility or probability of a 2025 release?


There is certainly a possibility. I will try my best to get something released by the end of the year, even if I have to make compromises.

I'll post a couple of new screenshots (of other things) as soon as I get the first four tutorials ...

Is there a possibility or probability of a 2025 release?


There is certainly a possibility. I will try my best to get something released by the end of the year, even if I have to make compromises.

I'll try to post a couple of new screenshots by the end of this month. The Tutorials are going OK ...

Well, I haven't forgotten about all of you. I have been adding the final information markers and map labels, since they will be needed for the first tutorial. And I have designed the basic look and functionality of the tutorial panels themselves.

Here is the opening stage for the first tutorial ...

As usual, thanks for your kind words, Orm! They are greatly appreciated.

I don't have anything to show concerning the game's tutorials this week, I am afraid. I decided to finish a few map edits before doing that.

The edit first is purely cosmetic. I have wanted to do a little more to show life in ...

Can crossing arrows be blocked for movement? Does one need some sort of ships to make the move?

They can be blocked by hostile fleets at sea. You don't need ships to make the move. But if you don't control any relevant ports, the cost goes up. It can go up to the point that the move becomes ...

I have been mostly doing map edits and improvements this week. That's not too exciting, but I updated Corsica and added crossing points between it and Sardinia. That is not likely to affect game play very often, it is true. But those crossing points should be there. And Corsica needed a little more ...
