Keep great works! If only the game had one more year before its release I don't think it would have so many negative reviews on Steam now.
Does this mean that we may get to repair Pharaoh's Canal and connect Mediterranean and Red Sea at some point in development?
Imperator: Sengoku confirmed?
Sincere apologies, you're both quite right!
(I forgot about the HOI series, which I haven't played since the AOD iteration, and was thinking of EUR and CK and EU against which it's streets ahead)
Edited accordingly.
The navies needed a rework and that is great. But i wonder why you have decided to focus here?. Alot of bad reviews are coming from the MANA system. I personally can't bring myself to play this game with its current anti strategy MANA focus.
Im worried the developers will abandon the community who appreciates the lack of abstract currencies for all actions in vic2, hoi4, and eu4.
Even the eu4 mana isnt great but as its mostly for tech, (no magic scroll power replacing your diplomats) its tolerable but this IR: Rome is just like a board game.
Will you be able to move your capital and change your culture? Playing as the last of the Achaemenids in Anatolia feels kind of meaningless currently, since they are stuck as Greek Hellenics with their capital being stuck in Bithynia. (switching your religion is a nice start to making that one half interesting!)
So believe it or not I recall but we actually have testament from ancient authors that no fleets or bigger ships sailed the caspian
I’ll see if I can find the reference later tonight (or correct myself).
In order to strengthen our argument that the Seleukids tried to follow Alexander’s naval plans and thus devoted time and capital to building and
maintaining a naval presence in the Gulf, we also need to refer to the actions of Seleukos I and his son Antiochos I at the Caspian Sea. As we know, Alexander
had naval and maritime plans not only for the Gulf but also for the Caspian Sea. These plans were part of his universal vision to sail round the outer sea
and conquer the whole world. As we have seen previously, before his death he dispatched Herakleides to the Caspian Sea to find out if it was connected
to the Black Sea or the ocean. Although the project was shelved after his death, it was revitalized by Seleukos I and his son Antiochos I, who assigned
to Patroklos, a trusted Seleukid general(25) a periplous of the Caspian Sea. In other words, the Seleukids continued Alexander’s interrupted maritime plans.
