Nihil est Carthago! :)

[Private-Panic]

@Degrasse Until Leo and I rewrite history!

Thanks for getting the game going. Leo and I are just sorting out which countries we are each playing.

[Private-Panic]

Carthage & Macedonia - Adam
Bosporus, Pontus & Seleucid - Leo

[Witt]

Looks like game over on R1. Plus 66 was way over the odds . Nice @Degrasse .

[Private-Panic]

Game over? Hardly! Had 80% odds but unfortunately (for us!) lucky enough to out perform the probable +40TUV outcome. Greece is up next - who is playing them?

[Witt]

@Private-Panic oh fine; we have won then.

[captainwalker]

@Private-Panic It would probably be best if DeGrasse also played Greece. We haven’t really decided who’s playing what…

[Witt]

@captainwalker I Think that will slow the game. You guys have three nations, then we get our five, then you get three , followed by Rome again .
I think my idea works best.

[Witt]

… but I will bow down to your idea,‘if you three prefer it that way .

[redrum]

I think @Wittmann is probably right in this case (happens every once in a while) so that we each have 2 nations that go in a row. So here are the teams:

AntiRomans
Carthage & Macedonia - Adam
Bosporus, Pontus & Seleucid - Leo

Romans
Rome & Armenia - Degrasse
Greek & Pergamon - ?
Egypt & Parthia - ?

@captainwalker Do you want (Greek & Pergamon) OR (Egypt & Parthia)?

[Witt]

@redrum thank you my friend. Please say it again though, so that my deaf, old friend really understands the nice thing you said .

[Private-Panic]

@Wittmann I have no problem agreeing that you are right every once in a while my friend. Even a stopped clock manages it twice a day!

[captainwalker]

@redrum I guess Egypt and Parthia

[captainwalker]

I have some questions regarding units…like leaders. The game notes says…receives +1 attack/def per allied unit type present. What exactly does that mean?

[Private-Panic]

@captainwalker I think a leader soaks up a hit but that’s not what you quote suggests

[Witt]

The more diverse units with a Leader the more +1s it gives . Archer , Legionary, Elephant, Cataphract etc. Are all different types.
I believe once a Leader is lost, if can t be replaced , but I can’t be sure . Can only have one, I know that.

[Witt]

They are very powerful. We all have one at Sea too.
