The Random Map Generator and Maps

[TomWChick]

user feedback pet peeve: I have a group of Cardaces and Hoplites. Can I know, before trying, that I will strat move one province because of Hoplites, or is it trial and error process until you know which unit belong to which group?

Pocus,

It can be baffling at first. Before I read the manual, I was dinking around with the game wondering why I couldn't move my units two spaces in friendly terrain a la Dom I.

But once you grokk the whole strategic move thing, it becomes second nature when you're arranging your armies. Also, IMO, the new terrain rules about forests, mountains, and swamps make fliers that much more valuable. Ultimately, I think it gives the maps a lot more personality.
