Matrix Games Forums

I just started a game with 1.02 beta. On turn one Scipio invaded Africa with two Latin units. He burned and pillaged during his turn. Turn two the Carthiginian Army marched out and killed him! Not a good use of a good Roman General???

I tried another game and the African invasion wasn't done?

Well, in the first case the AI didn't make a very good move but that is how things go sometimes. What level are you playing at? I assume that it's the Normal level or the Hard level.

The second case isn't surprising. The AI sometimes feels that things are under control in Italy and it's safe to send expeditions to Africa. Other times it won't send troops to Africa because there is too much pressure in Italy (or Spain or Sicily, etc.). It depends on a number of factors.

The higher levels of play are usually more aggressive about moving overseas.

I am playing at the normal level. With Scipio gone, I might last past ten turns!
