New XP anounced - I`m surprised Sid Mire dare show his face, after the PTW debacle.
(No - I still cannot get it to work on my Lan at anything above a snail pace... (and yes fanboys I am using 1200 + computers etc) - let alone play someone over the Internet at an acceptable speed.
Yes I know there are people out there who tweak this and that and manage to get it to work but guess what? I bought Rise of Nations and it works multiplayer straight out of the box 10 mins after loading. Miracle - no, just a half decent product.
So Sid, take your crappy product and shove it up your ass (American expression). That is the last penny you will take away from me. Same for Inforgames - con-merchants. And what about all those people who said that Firaxis would support this product - why no European patch? Very poor.
I feel better for saying that and I know that a lot of you out there feel the same.

i hope they are a little more historically correct with their units. I was very disappointed with the Carthaginian Numidian Mercenary The Carthaginian light infantry were Libyans and were noted as rather poor light infantry. The Numidians were the very best light cavalry of the era and carried the war for Hannibal in Italy. Scipio Africanus defeated Hannibal at Zama by having more Numidians than Hannibal and nullifying the effects of the elephants.

i've been to that website and they tend to take a pro-Carthaginian stance in my opinion. The Romans usually had their way with the Libyans, Celts, and Gauls in the middle of Hannibal's formations, even at Cannae and Tresimane. The thing that turned those battles into slaughters was Hannibal's use of the Numidians and Spanish heavy cavalry.
The Romans and everyone before Hannibal would stick the cavalry on the flanks and they would slog it out with the opposing cavalry while the infantries would face off. Hannibal was the first to use his cavalry to encircle and attack the flanks and rear of the Roman legions. Combining that with the pathetic Roman leadership and you had some unbelievable slaughters.
Panag is correct in that the elephants did not survive the first battle in November. They don't do well in the mountains in the late fall. By the time Hannibal had a decent number of elephants at Zama, Scipio had developed a strategy to nullify them.
When you get right down to it the Carthaginian politcal system defeated Hannibal more than the Romans and, at the same time, the Roman political system contributed more to his success than his tactics or army.
