I was playing on Treasure Islands with Petra vs Petra. The AI was great for some time, until the other bot attacked with some triremes and some troops. My side (blue) killed all the attacking units, but then they just started idling. BUG? Even with its bugs, Petra is awesome!
Roman swordsmen are among the best (especially champions). Use the testudo formation to go up against structures. Roman siege equipment is also among the best. They can also research a tech that allows organic units to regain health slowly, which is very helpful.
Where were the famous triple walls located, anyway? Somewhere along the coast? It is pretty hard to see on the pictures. Also, where should the Romans be placed? On an offshore island? Can you set units to be garrisoned inside ships in Atlas?
How would a bot recieve chat messages using the JS API? I know the bots can talk, but can they recieve messages yet? Something like API.onTeamChatSent=function(str){/* code here */};, maybe? It should be a pretty simple addition to a bot if that is possible. I suppose so, but this would require a little more code than the chat option (correct me if I'm wrong). However, human team members might not see the requests then unless the menu also chats.
I started making the map on a whim, so there is little historical accuracy. I admit, that there is no harbor yet... I will make a second version of this map to make it more complete.
