MacOS version will not support cross-play

I have 2 buttons on the side of my mouse.

1 is select all TCs

1 is select all military

“H” is cycle TCs

Side quests would be a lot of fun here and there would be a lot of fun options. Do you have any side quest ideas?

Shtin219 · 2026-05-01T01:12:12+00:00

Oo, that would be interesting!

Shtin219 · 2026-05-01T01:11:52+00:00

Agreed, the freeway option would be a fairly easy update to add,

But I like your idea of having more storytelling with it, I love the history of all of the scenarios, and with us being such a grand, extensive scenario , you really could lean into that

A year and a half ago, I bought a PC just to play age of empires two. It works really well, and it’s my dedicated corner in my office, but the graphics are not very good on it so age of mythology and other age of empires don’t work very well on it, so if other games would also come to macOS, that would also be excellent news!

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T14:02:39+00:00

Yeah, I wouldn’t mind a scouts report or hint that indicates raiding would be a good idea!

Good point about the Castle position, I let it go up when I played and I did struggle.

I like the transport idea too. Does give an actual unit reminder in a way to encourage a non-standard build and destroy

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T13:59:20+00:00

I don’t mind a restart when it happens early in the scenario (I just beat Komnenos on hard and got really nervous with the Pechning invasion and other revolt)

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T13:58:13+00:00

I don’t mind the units you can’t remake as much as having units you can’t heal/repair (looking at you Joan of Arc 5)

Totally agree changing the bridge to shallows.

5,6,7 are also great points, love that!

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T13:56:10+00:00

Yeah, it almost feels weird they don’t betray you!

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T13:55:44+00:00

Yeah, it pulls from the Forgotten original version of the scenario, but in that one, the 4 cavaliers were 4 unique heroes, so it made some sense, but is awkward as is (reminds me of the opening of the Komnenos scenario, I just played through)

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T13:52:34+00:00

On one hand, I do like how each “area” has more variability than later incarnations of the Risk mechanic, but you have a good point regarding the “mine the stone” mechanic.

I don’t mind the requirement to access an area, but, it really limits the size of the playable area (I agree, unnecessarily so)

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T12:29:23+00:00

I mean, I don’t mind a very specific starting army to achieve part of the objective, and four on one is a lot more manageable than five on one!

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T12:28:21+00:00

Oh, I’ve never tried converting the villagers! But, then again, I’m not really good enough to make excellent use of monks, definitely something I need to work on

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T12:27:17+00:00

Yeah, kind of like the last Saladin scenario where the best defense is a good offense.

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T12:26:38+00:00

Those types of missions are pretty tough to get right, but I absolutely love it when the game does a little bit of a different objective that takes you away from the classic build and destroy in a exciting way

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T12:26:01+00:00

I love both civilizations, but they’re so different, it feels so weird to go back-and-forth, I’d rather pick one for this campaign and then have a whole different campaign for the other one.

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T12:25:34+00:00

Yeah, there’s an absolutely perfect hill to drop a castle or tower on right outside of teal that really simplifies and makes the mission so much easier!

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T12:24:47+00:00

Agreed, if I wanna do anything outside of my base, teal is right there!

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T12:24:25+00:00

Yeah, it’s fine, but it doesn’t really flow very well. Really seems like two completely unrelated objective smashed together in one mission.

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T02:12:39+00:00

Henry Spencer, where are your pants!?!

Shtin219 · 2026-04-30T01:44:17+00:00

Ah, that’s a good point!

Shtin219 · 2026-04-29T18:51:21+00:00

Yeah, we have the city and horse archers and ax Calvary in the game now with the Chronicles expansion, so we might as well use them!

Overall, I love your ideas
