BotA - r3 - 270BC - Hepps01 .vs. moilami

Hi,  Got your turn summary.

Question 1, Yes I am “Hepps” of Total War.

Question 2, I have no idea what I am doing.

I have made my Roman turn, but for whatever reason it will not allow me to post the turn.

Thanks for the help.

I think with this I can now get started with PBF.

Thanks.  We are actually working on some further changes to T.W.W. currently.  Just to iron out some of the last imbalances we have seen in the last release.  If it is to be the tie-breaker for the tournament then it needs to be well balanced.

I’m glad I am learning to play by e-mail,  but truth be told I prefer playing live.  Who knows.  I may learn to enjoy this though.

Gotta love dice games. lol

I have to say that PBEM is quite possibly the most boring way to play a game.

I feel like I’m playing by myself, and playing one turn every day or couple of days is very unexciting.

Apparently purchases do not carry over.  Something I was unaware of.  So if you are good with it, I will simply refund the lost P.U. to the Greeks on my turn with the Persians.  That way I’ll simply have 7 more P.U. for purchases on the Greeks turn.  (Which is what I would have done anyway had I known that units do not carry over between turns).
