<r> Oh boy. This game is good at keeping you from following a tried and true order of operation. I've started going for Meritocracy, Government, and Fist.<br/>
Meritocracy for the great leaders because I get into this game more with leaders I respect <E>:)</E> The various pluses to the rolls are ...

<t> Good advice by zgrssd.<br/>
My games tend to follow this pattern now:<br/>
1) Nationalize the scavenger in round 1.<br/>
2) Shoot for light tanks by forming the MDC in round 1. Assign 100% BPs to discovering new models. Once light tank is discovered, switch all BPs to designing it. Even out ...

Do you mean that if I don't completely encircle a city, attack it and force retreat out of the city and then march in, the zone should be cleared of those enemy units?

In my last game, 4 of 6 farmers disbanded the turn after the city was taken. To determine if it is a matter of percent of their zone hexes taken, I loaded a save and first took a large majority of their hexes but I got the same result...the two that did not disband still did not disband.

<t> I'm seeing a similar problem. Before 1.03 I was getting mostly cap IIs and IIIs with an occasional cap I and IV. I got a cap V once. Since 1.03, and I went back to saves to get these numbers, I get about 65% cap I, 30% cap II, and 5% cap III. Their stats are also quit low. I feel lucky when I ...

I started the game on 1.03 then I updated to beta 5. I guess I should expect some weirdness until I start a new game with the latest patch. Thank you zgrssd.

<t> Thanks Jdane. I hope it's a bug. I've tried some other Majors cards that use diplomacy or oratory skills and I get the same large difference. Even if I had rolled a hundred I still wouldn't have succeeded. That much of a difference makes a very possible success into an impossible one. Since I ...

I don't think you saw what I circled on the far right. When I executed the strategem, difficulty changed from 97 on the right to 175 on the left.

<r> Is this working as intended?<br/>

<t> There's a Minors card named Propose Peace that will work even when not at war with them. Seems odd that you don't have to be at war to propose peace but it does work. Stops them dead in their tracks. I'm pretty sure I've only used it on Farmers. I'm unsure if it will work on the less peaceful ...

Thanks Twotribes. They are farmers. My other clean conquests have been with farmers but these guys are especially stubborn.

In this game, so far I've had clean conquests for 4 out of 6 minors. It's not culture related. Maybe it's the % of the zone you've conquered before city conquest. I'll keep track and see.

It's in the open beta version

<t> Usually, the next turn after I conquer the city of a minor zone, all the minor's undestroyed units disappear and all the remaining hexes change to my control. I just conquered a minor's city and did receive the vid stating "Conquest acquired us a new zone: Robbespierre". But its undestroyed ...

<t> I like the system as is. A couple of days ago I wouldn't have said that. Experimentation and this forum did the trick. Once I understood the system, I realized my road network was half my problem. Now I keep separate branches separate. I don't connect them. Strange things happen when I do. And ...

I use the leader list in the MNG tab alot. The first thing I do each time I load a saved game is re-set the Leaders list with the columns I find useful. A nice QOL change would be to save those settings.

+1

Thanks all.

<r> I was lucky enough to find this unit and it appeared already in place on a stack of units adjacent to a city I am attacking. How do I attack with it? When I mouse over the adjacent enemy unit the red attack arrow doesn't appear. And right clicking on the adjacent enemy unit doesn't initiate the ...

I really appreciate the level of effort you've made to gain an understanding of this. I, for one, only understand enough to get by, just barely. I eagerly await the replies of those who thoroughly understand.
