It's about time somebody started writing one, so I'm doing one of Carthage in a randomly generated Latium map.

The AI is qBot, and the teams are me as Carthage, my ally as Celts, and my enemies are the Hellenes and Iberians. First post below.

Not a lot so far, paused playing the game for a bit while Oil Rush was distracting me, but here's the first batch.

My budding settlement:

Oh look, found those pesky Greeks:

Jenkins, couldn't go and fetch a pint of milk could you..?

Very pesky:

At the moment I have no idea what my allies are doing, probably getting clobbered by both enemies, leaving me to die alone no doubt, but I think I'll solidify my defenses and prepare for WAR!!!!! *maniacal laughter etc. etc.*

Stay tuned!

I like Carthage's unit selection as well, very wide.

God, the game looks beautiful! The camera angle change surely makes a difference. Damn, I can't wait to play with Carthage! I had also forgotten the city limit thing, kinda like the culture feature in the Civ games. BTW, I go scout on your ally, and leave a soldier to there to see if he's in despair or whatnot. He's not human though, and if he's far away you'll have no way of knowing if his whole military force has died due to an unsuccessful assault :P

You don't seem to be doing that bad in any case...

Ok, this will be the last update for a while, since the game in its current state is almost unplayable. I just had a large force attack me and it lagged horribly. Sorry guy(s), but until they sort this, no more AAR. When they do however, I'll carry on with the save game if possible. :)



Update pending.

I bet you're just trying to hide the fact you got creamed. :P Do you have AA disabled? It looks kinda blocky.

I've seen this at work before, looks like it could be strawberry flavored.

Its on default settings, and my rig is more than capable of handling the game, and I didn't get creamed. I got buttered instead.

Last I was working on it, they were going to do a two-stream processy thingy to remove AI lag... maybe it didn't get into this release.
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

Hopefully it'll make it into the next release.

Good to know it's only the AI, and not the game engine itself... although the AAR looked pretty good :P

I will continue with the next Alpha most likely. :) Sorry to stop this in its tracks so soon.
