@Obelix Ah! Cool - was not aware - thanks a lot!

Oops! You are certainly right! Sorry for the confusion!

Flags are shown on my own buildings. In order to see how many units are actually garrisonned I have to directly select that building. If flags are not historically accurate there could possibly be a different visual indicator for the game's sake. For my own ships and siege engines, I have to select each of them to see what is actually on board, i.e. no flag or other visual indicator. For adversary buildings (and ships, siege engines) I have no information at all (which is ok as part of the game I believe).

Isn't that like in real life? Neutrality is not guaranteed , especially not if you harmed the other country. The AI consistently replying "not interested" seems strange to me. In SP, I often use neutrality which works in many cases (could not find out why or why not) and in a second step also an alliance which sometimes can be established. often there is a tribute to pay (1000 wood or the like) for one or the other.

Good question! I just don't know . Similar to enemy towers, fortresses, garrisons etc. as well as siege engines. Own Buildings have a flag on top - select it to find out how many are garrisoned. Own siege engines don't have a flag and - like ships - you would have to select the unit in order to see if and how it is garrisoned. For enemy structures this is always a surprise IIRC.

Hi and welcome to the forum! Unfortunately, the only way I am aware is to actually select the ship and see the garrisoned number of people. There has been multiple suggestions to modify that so it will be addressed.

@Nicolaus_von_Kues If the pathfinding issue could only be solved - which appears to be quite complex - then we can define these features: bridges, that block ships, allow passage of any civilians or troops, can be built up to a limited length, but also destroyed, e.g. by ships (also by whales?) ramps (iirc there might exist historical evidences of this being used in siege tech) - can be built up to a limited height and destroyed tunnels/portals/secret passageways (you discover an entrance and when entering it, reappear at another place on the map, must work in both directions, could start somewhere in a mountaineous area but never ends in or under a building). This needs to be defined when creating a map. Alternatively short passageways could be built by the player himself with a limited radius from his CC or fortress.transfer capacity shouold be limited though (cannot send a whole army through). roads that have an accelerating aura for everyone, inlcuding enemies - pathfinding being particularly complex here as roads can be entered and left anywhere, as opposed to the other structures that have an entry point and an exit point. Still brainstorming...

More academic question: As Petra is fully map-aware, it would certainly also see where the scouting camps are placed so they can be easily attacked. (I do aknowledge that this map awareness cannot be simply changed) Only in reality, I believe, these camps should only be found by accident or by observing/following a scout you encountered.

While I am a supporter of more graphical overviews hence preferring the previous version, this one has its beenfits in more details of course. What if there was a button "Details" in the graphical representation (with the very nice icons) and that button would open the text represntaiton with the enhanced details?

Thanks wzyas! I particularly like your proposal #2 and #3: #2: temporarily enlarge the minimap, e.g. double click on the minimap could open a window showing exclusively the map (enlarged), doule clicking again closes the sparate map windwo. #3: workes do not deplete berry bushes completely but leave a bit so they can re-generate. The same would apply to fishing boats.

Never saw this before. Is this rwoing or "staking" forward so it can even be used in water ? Reminds me of the robot in the movie "Interstellar".... Or is it used to stabilize when moving against a hard target?

I am certainly not an expert by any means, but I believe, the Germans are potentially a good candidate (if we refer to their migration). Not so sure about Gauls or Brittons though.

Well, they may be initially nomads. Also hunting could have a little bonus (they might therefore have two or three scout cavalry at the beginning instead of one) and farming could be available only later after technologies have been researched? Not sure this woudl be changing much in the long run but it could nudge players towards a little different initial strategy.

@AtrikPossibly a garrisoning level as a bar (10 out of 30) ? This could help identifying which of the vessels to use preferably for attacking, or if being attacked which are most costly when sunken. A similar feature could be interesting for fortresses and towers.

@Atrik great job! Would you be able to show the number of passengers on a ship (and on a siege engine) in the same way as well?
