FoG II: Medieval

[mTk]

Just posting this so you can see some of the graphics. Knights look very cool.
THG is hilariously bad at this, but to be fair he admits going in he doesn't know what he's doing. At the start of the game he took a look at the map pre OOB selection. Admitted it
didn't look too good for cavalry so he immediately purchased a horsie heavy force just because he likes cavalry. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know.
He likes to post these "first look" kinda videos although his lack of knowledge as to even the basics of the UI can be frustrating to watch sometimes.
Worth a watch by experienced FoG II players for his funny, clueless commentary.

Hes on a par with me then... hey what happened to our FoG game.

 

[mTk]

@Bootie It ended w/a victory for the Romans. Go back into the game. You should be able to find the end game turn after a few clicks.
The <completed> tab should do it.

 

[Bootie]

You beat me ... how!!?? LOL

 

[mTk]

By thrashing all your units?
Wanna try to get even?

The end can come quite suddenly in this game.

Not a big fan of these "first look" videos ... guys stumbling through the game not knowing what's going on ... often not very helpful and frankly, sometimes quite annoying.

Is medieval available to the public yet?

 

[Wellsonian]

I think the Release date is first week in February

 

[mTk]

Yeah, that's what I see. 02-04-21.

 

[mTk]

OK, got it!
If you have the original FOG II and purchase the FoG II [Bundle] you get an additional discount off Medieval.
My net cost was $22.94.
Has a nice PDF manual accessible from the opening screen.
We have 19 difference countries to choose from!

I got it as well yesterday evening - very reasonably priced.
Looks good so far - gotta get used to the brighter colour scheme, especially the mounted knights who look rather garish

 

[mTk]

Well, they did have squires to keep their kit all clean and new looking.
I imagine it was a serious matter.

Playing a battle against the AI and just discovered I could rename my CIC. Kind of cool.

Tres cool indeed. How?

 

[mTk]

It's a popup over the unit at the start of the set up phase. IIRC.
