That makes good sense. This game has rekindled my intrest in RTS games that i don't think i've had since the original Command and Conquer

Actually, Medival total war was a great game, but it was pretty different comparatively and i'd almost classify it as a seperate type of RTS from the traditional top down.

I see the reasoning behind this, and I can also see how boring it would be if you had to fight a number of defensive battles every turn, but... I am wondering how you are balancing this issue. I mean, if the AI doesn't attack the player a lot, wouldn't you get the feeling that it is too passive? I mean, the AI countries would be fighting amongst themselves, and forgetting about the player? So, I am wondering how you are making the campaign challenging in addition to building up the defensive forces of the AI? (I mean always being on the attack would get kinda boring, it seems.)

Thanks for the answers.

To me, the AI feels agressive overall, because the scenarios can be effin' tough, and it's not uncommon to lose a battle, which means you essentially have lost your turn. This is a big deal because it's pretty difficult to take over the world in 29 turns, so each battle lost means you have to rethink your plan for achieving success. The AI attacks on the main map are only one of the ways the AI shows its warmongering nature :-). But I'd be curious to see what the beta guys think of this--is the AI not aggressive enough (on Tough level at least; it does ratchet back its attacks on the easier levels)?

Is there any way to configure turns per age? To extend or shorten the game? And can you select which age it starts on?

If these questions have been asked before, I'm going to feel more stupid than normal.

We used to have the game set up so you could configure the length of the game (essentially, number of turns per Age). However, the game time is essentially linked to the map size--if you change the length of the game then it becomes either too hard or too easy to take over the world.

As for changing the starting and ending Age, that's not something currently in CtW, but is certainly something we could add for the Xpack if there were people who requested it. You'd basically have to adjust the number of turns per Age in order to balance this for the map size.

At some point, at most for the Xpack, we're planning to have different maps for CtW, which would have different ideal turn lengths and maybe even starting and ending Ages. But I digress...

Tim,

Any way that level editors can make levels that tie together, i.e. a smaller CTW that allows the outcome of the battle to impact the next scenario?

Ooh, ooh, I know that one. No, there is no zoom in CTW. Although I read it on some forums.... RoNHeaven, IIRC, so it might not be correct.

There is currently no way to make a linear campaign mod from Conquer the World. If it's something we get a lot of requests for, we'd be happy to consider it for an Xpack.

What happen with the army when you attack? Say, if you have 2 armies, do they become 2 cities in real time part, or they are still armies of some sort? And if they are, what is the composition of those armies.

Same question about defense: if somebody attack your province, where you have an army, what does that army become in real time part?

	Increase the size of your Attachments

An army does represent a collection of troops. You always start with your first army (the attacking army) in the scenario. Other armies that are supporting the attack will come as reinforcements during the scenario. I can't remember exactly, but I believe that your armies are comprised of 2 heavy inf, 3 light inf, 3 ranged inf, a couple of horse units, a supply wagon, and a general. Enemy armies vary according to difficulty level; at Tough they get the same number of guys that you do. On defense, the armies work the same way.

You can build up the infrastructure of a province by increasing its territory strength. The higher the territory strength, the more cities, buildings, and citizens you will start the scenario with. Your size 8 city (the highest territory strenth) will start with three cities completely built up with forts, towers, economic buildings, and military buildings. AI strengths are again dependent on difficulty level with Tough as the "fair" level.

While I realize the campaign has a lot of replayability merely via all of the different nations you could start as, are resources and other aspects randomized in the campaign? Like will Italy always have the same rare resource and bonus cards each session?

You get cards by conquring territories that hold the cards. You can also buy the cards if you have enough tribute.

I assume the AI uses them, not sure though. You start with no cards at the begining of the game AFAIK.

What functions does the map editor have.

Im a big Civ 3 PTW fan.
Can you rename, add or remove civilizations?
In the game, when you initiate diplomacy, do you seethe leader of that civ? If so can that face and name be changed in the editor or any way?

I like the looks of what I see, but I am a realist freak.
Someone let me know.

1. What happens when two nations choose to attack the same space? Do both go through with their wars with only the best score taking ownership? What if the defender wins one and loses one? Or is there some other form of conflict resolution.

2. Is it correct that there is no difference if I have an army or not in a space which is being attacked (provided it is not an "overrun" situation).
