newbie questions and comments

[rylen]

Hey,

Played the demo and loved it. Got a copy of the game and am now pushing it at other folks around here. I'll probaly look for a PBEM sometime soon.

Until then ...

I'm trying to figure out Mictlan. Other pretenders, I can get started and do well against the AI until at least mid-game. Mictlan falls apart early on. I'm not sure how to cope with combination of weak infantry and weak magic. The plentiful sacred troops seem nice though.

How do you keep Communion Slaves alive in Pythium? I'll take 4-8 slaves and 1-3 masters. The slaves are pushing 200 fatigue when the enemy routes and the masters keep casting spells. Result: they're gone or wounded after a single combat.

This is a deep and rewarding game. But I would like some more information in some of the Messages.

First, in combat resolutions I'd like a breakdown of units lost -- not by squad, just by type.

I think:
4 Machacka (sp) infantry
3 Hopolites
Bob the Black Sorceror
is more useful then
units killed: 7
commanders killed: 1
and it reminds me what was there in the first place without having to run the combat.

Second, after capturing a fortress, some battle information would be welcome.

Last, is the most recent topic post on the top of the page? I'm used to seeing things the other way round. Any way I can change how that displays?

Thanks for the answers.
