Don't worry, Tom said there will be a real battle report soon?  Do you know if we killed him, Ank?  I know we won but I don't know we killed him.  By the way, how many soldiers of yours died/ were routed?

[Mookzen]

Ok, I've started taking charge of some peasants in the coastal region near Foxglove lands on the far east side of the island. Hopefully my neighbors take no offence from my humble banner and little claim, surely a few peaceful fishing villages are of no concern.

[generalpie]

Well, i've staked my lands, and started expanding..only got one competitor for the Northeast...whom I plan on making peace with...

For now..

[PanH]

So, what's happening in the North (war against Silverfire ?) ?

Does anyone know who are the Bjornson ? Or Enjenou/Xfinit (though I would need a bridge or go a very long way to attack them) ?

[Zangi]

They'd need to make a bridge on their side too... so yea, if you want to fight em or are worried about them wanting to fight you... you'll have to go around or employ outright bold-faced lying.

[PanH]

I'd just need one bridge to cross the river with my troops, or am I missing something ?
Though, considering it's quite long to build a bridge, it's probably more interesting to go around.

Also, last turn didn't worked.

[Mookzen]

I hope the game takes off, has detailed individual combat reports and an injury system considering that at its full potential and popularity, most of the playerbase will likely not be able to play king/commander from the start.

Also, why oh why should there not be character aging ? Without it the whole in-game world will end up a schizophrenic mess tied in neurotic knots.

Think of it this way, you try to build a bridge on your side of the river.  You can only complete 50% of it.
The people on the other side of the river must build the bridge on their side to complete the other 50% of that bridge.

[Un67]

Does anyone have an extra key? This looks really cool and I would love to check it out. PMing would be preferable.

[FaultyLogic]

Here's two.

Ah, too late I was.

If only it worked that way and you could use rivers as a near permanent defense, only one side of a bridge is needed to be completed to cross.
It will be nice when feature destruction becomes available.  Deep strikes to destroy key bridges in enemy territory.

I'm saying it does work that way... now I gotta find Tom's post...  and I can't.   So I shall concede that I am probably wrong till evidence is found again.

Also:
30 Spearmen + 30 Conscripts
Estimated training time for new recruits: 67 Days

500 Peasants = 0 Days
Holy shaz.  The peasants better be running from my trained troops right quick.


EDIT:
10 Spearmen + 10 Conscripts
Estimated training time for new recruits: 22 days.

Something is off here...

EDIT 2:
Ok, I didn't read the explanation, but I see... takes longer when you recruit more troops at the same time.

And... apparently I still have one code left... just send a PM for it.  No Escaped Lunatics.

It's the same as building. Too much workers/training slow the completion (workers don't work as much hours/d)

Also, I'll have a bridge completed in a few days, we'll see how it works, but I think only one side is needed.

And yes, I hope soldiers are WAY better than peasants.

[Zangi]

Actually, throwing more peasants at a building still increases construction speed.  But, it is less progress per peasant.  It is how I got my buildings done as fast as they are done.  (I guess at some obscene numbers, it may actually slow it down... but I have not hit that yet...)

Training soldiers I suppose is pretty static and can only be slowed by throwing more trainees into it.

[PanH]

Yes, example : 1 worker alone will work nearly 10 hrs/d, but with 100 workers, it'll be more 8 hours (each, ofc, and depending on the building), which still means 800hrs/d.

Training a bunch of soldier is with the same mechanic I think. Fakedit : it seems static, though you can get a bit of reduction from rounding (down). So, small groups are more interesting, I guess.
