Work in progress...
Feed back, Idea & Help is greatly welcome..!
Thanks!

Another screen...

Looks great!

I am really looking forward to see the progress in this one

Thanks! [:)]
I really work hardly every day!

What  Ernie says, it's looking great.
I do hope however that you have some additional unit description... I know what a horse is, but what is a "Roman equite"?
I totally love the mapgraphics too, it fits the era.
Well done well done.

Equites are cavalry, if i don´t recall wrongly

I just noticed that storms are a unit, i wonder how that works?

Some units...

Judaea and Praefectus...

WOW! Classic old school vector graphics --
great look & interesting units, cool terrain graphics (even your unit counters are well designed). Can't wait to see & play the final game.
Good luck!

Very impressive ! I subscribe to this thread to follow the evolution. Good luck !

Looking very good

I just noticed the map you're using...pretty massive. And it will be all Roman under my command [;)] [:D]

[:)] Thanks to everyone!!!... but I need help to program events & other(weather zone, AI, refine combat rules...etc...[&:])

Sorry...I don't speak English well [:o] (I speak italian & japanese...) but any help is appreciated [&o]

Thanks!!!

PS: The map: 1 hex =10 km (80% ready!)

Location: Germania Inferior (Limes Germanicus et Flumen Rhenus) and some Roman Auxiliary Fort (Castra Auxilia)!

... but I need help to program events & other(weather zone, AI, refine combat rules...etc...[&:])

I know nothing about ATG programation, but I am ok to playtest anything if needed. [:)]

I can share advice on events & action cards. I'm not as well versed as some of the guys on this forum, but can help you with simple stuff.

Holy smokes that's about where I live... barbaric country. Move on folks nothing to see here but bears wolves and uncivilized unwashed hordes. [:D]
By the way just ask anything you want to ask, there are quite a few skilled developers around here, including Vic.

Question about the above map (the one in barbaric country or thereabouts):

How have you defined the "bridges" across the full hexes of water? Are they just "roads" in "sea" hexes? If so have you tested them to see what happens if a unit ends its movement on one of them, and it is not a naval unit. And similar what happens when a unit ends there because of fighting?

I believe there might be a problem with it, if they are defined like i described. I think that the units may "disappear" or simply be eliminated if they end their movement on these...

Hi Ernie,

about your question: the hexes represent a permanent stone bridge over the Rhine (in effect a "road" across the "water").

The Rhine (...and the Danube) formed most of the northern inland frontier of the Roman Empire and a vital and navigable waterway carrying trade and goods deep inland. I have to be able to sail the ships along the Rhine and move the troop across the bridge. I solved the problem in this way.

I have tested them and apparently everything works. The "Legio VI" move true the bridge... wait for two turns... and move over without penalty .

Thanks for question and... sorry for my bad english!
