Change List For Version 1.0.4

Hannibal: Rome and Carthage in the Second Punic War is a new and innovative turn-based strategy game that puts you in command of the Carthaginian military during a period of total war over land and sea with the young Roman Republic. With this military juggernaut of the ancient world at your disposal, you will vie for control over Italy, Carthage, Spain and the Mediterranean Sea using a combination of strategic political maneuvering and sheer tactical skill both on land and sea. Play consists of two layers; the first is a strategic layer where you must prudently steer your forces to the destruction of Rome’s army and the ultimate destruction of the Republic and city itself. At your disposal are a variety of unit types and historical commanders from which to form your armies. On the tactical scale, when meeting the enemy in battle, skilled leadership and a knack for war come into play as you use a simple but engaging battle system to best your opponents.

Speaking seriously as well, I disagree that AI's ability to make mistakes should depend on commander's rating. In theory, it works out fine. In practice, it gives you an unfair advantage over AI. You, as a player, are not handicapped when commanding either Hannibal or Hanno. Why should AI be forced to suffer where you are not forced to suffer? Besides, the use of some cards is already limited to generals with certain rank.

I meant that we players would also be handicapped, because if we are fighting a battle with an army that is lead by a poor commander, there would be some restrictions on our actions based on the general's abilities. Maybe a general has a negative trait that makes it harder to withdraw, or he's particularly good with commanding cavalry - things like that would bring some extra flavour to battles.

Ah, totally agree. Traits are already in the game for some generals: Hannibal and Fabius, but some other generals could benefit from them as well. We are going OT, but here's a small list of suggestions.

Naval attack bonus for Mago and Africanus.
One free Extended March option for Nero.
Siege battle bonus for Marcellus.

I doubt this is 1.04 though, more like 1.1 or 2.0.
