[Sir Beane]

Your a glorious bastard Sir Beane. The numbers in your quote relate to my questions/comments.

1. Does Britian control Paris in this first pic? If so, interesting to note the Minimap says France still owns it, which would confirm just controlling the city doesn't give you the province.

2. Who is the faction both are at war with? It's so dam tiny it's hard to tell, but looks like the Ottomans, or less likely the Mugals.

3. Nice find. I know it really annoyed me when the AI would small 2 unit armies to wander my lands, which would cause our relations to fall and war for no dam reason.

4. Moose factory??? What?

5. Interesting new feature with the auto spawning milita that can't leave. This will make blitzing harder, no undefended cities now.

6. Hmm I wonder what the difference in forts is? The 2nd is the star fort, so what is the 1st? Maybe it allows you to get more money from that resource then the star fort, but at a cost of reduced protection? Would make it useful for core regions that won't/can't be attacked, while star forts get put on border and enemy resources.

7. What is really interesting here is the "Command on Land" part. Maybe you can have both command on land and sea?


Edit:


Yea but the battle hasn't even started yet, so they can't be out of ammo, nor could have the infantry used up some of theirs.

1. I don't think they do, at least they shouldn't. All pics are from the start of the game so France should definitely be in control.

2. The Maratha screen shows them at war with Spain. The Mughal screen shows them at war with the Maratha. Not sure quite why that is.

3. Yeah it will be great that we won't have neutral and allied armies wandering around our lands now.

4. Moose factory? Best town name ever! Wikipedia says it's a real place to.

5. It will be interesting to see how many militia spawn and how powerful they are. I imagine it will be determined by population size and level of barracks. I also wonder if militia will still spawn even if a city is garrsioned.

6. The first fort is a basic wooden (maybe stone) fort, the second is the more expensive but sturdier star fort.

7. Since the character in question is actually an agent the command on land bit doesn't make sense. I imagine for real generals they may have both sea and land command ratings.
