Combat Process Spelled Out Anywhere?

[DeaconBone]

OK thanks for answering. So I am not alone in desiring a more detailed understanding of the combat specs - good.

Mini AAR: I just got killed as Atlantis by the other sea empire that rather rudely launched an attack upon me right as I was invading Ulm's home base and fighting off their advances on my ohter side. Couldn't handle two on one and I definitely wasn't ready for the other sea power being so strong.

The good news is I came in FIFTEENTH out of 17 this time rather than 16th like Last time! Both Caleum and Pangea ate it before me. I gave up when they got Atlantis with authority around turn 53.

For an better learning experience, perhaps playing as Atlantish without Rlyeh. This way you can learn the minutia of carrying out battles on land, without worrying much about sea attacks. This way, you basically would be safe from most retaliatory attacks on your sea provinces for quite some time, giving you the economic and production bases to try out different ideas.

Once this becomes more familiar undertakings, add Rlyeh back in for more challenge. Or play a land nation where such laid back style will not work.

Just some suggestions.

Thanks for the tip. I guess I am just going thru them one at a time just to check them out. I felt like I could have floored Ryleh but since they hadn't attacked me first I figured I would take care of Ulm since they were already going after me.

This game is a real gas and I haven't even gotten into the meat of it yet. I suppose it will be a many moons before I can join the Online folks in MP without embarassing myself...
