• Great Temple: Gain "the Immortal" Light Infantry from the city with the Great Temple. These warriors will continually refit their numbers to a full division after every battle if the whole division is not destroyed.

Removed the trade items variety bonus from city happiness for balancing purpose.

Are these affected? if yes, what is the purpose of these goods if not for happiness? money?

• Oil - can increase the happiness of all the cities in the nation's trade routes.
• Wine - can increase happiness of all the cities in the nation's trade routes.
• Wool - can increase happiness of all the cities in the nation's trade routes.
  
  Cheers and thanks
  
  PS any ETA for the patch?

1. I'm a bit confused here. There're two special units in SH2; Sparta heavy infantry and Seleucid light infantry. Both required to have a special building to produce and only from the city which owns the special building. In your case, I guess you don't have the Oracle built yet.

2. It just makes the story sounds better, but the AI does take trade treaty into consideration.

3. I guess we don't have a table like SH1 this time. I'll try to put a table on the web. This unit's attribute can be changed from our editor program later.

4. We take out philosophy from SH1 to simplify SH2. The difference in civilization is still in how a random general been generated but you can't promote a philosophy anymore. The closest thing you can do is to build a school which will eventually convert a foreign city into your capital's civilization.

5. I'll take a look at that part of code and see if we can add something there.

6. Yes, and no. If our research is correct, Persian quickly took over Seleucia and build the Persian empire. In the game, the governor of Seleucia is more likely to rebel and become something else.

7. In version 1.04 every trade item will add one happiness point. Oil, Wine, and Wool each add one additional point. In 1.05 only Oil, Wine, and Wool will add happiness points. (In easy mode, it adds two. In hard mode, it adds one)

Oh, we are preparing to release the patch this week.

Facilities are important for maintaining the guiding philosophy of a nation. There are several different philosophical approaches which can be developed based on what facilities are built in a city.

Militarism - To achieve the ultimate goal of military might, a number of barracks will be essential to increase the maximum number of professional soldiers (Heavy Infantry), and the recruitment/production level of these troops. A large number of farms will also be needed to support the army for long range attacks and aggressive expansion campaigns.

Legalism - If you promote fairness throughout the empire, farmers and peasants are more willing to protect their cities from invaders. Building court houses can quickly increase the recruitment/production of light infantry units to defend the city from foreign invaders. Fairness to the farmers and peasants, however, also decreases the share that the government gets from the supplies produced by farms. That also makes the governor more popular than the emperor. Building a Senator House will double the entire city's maximum number of light infantry units. In general, legalism is effective for a small nation that needs to protect its territory. As the empire expands, however, more resistance will come from the governors within the empire rather than from foreign nations that are at war with you.

Commercialism - Commercialism is a philosophy that believes gold can buy and get everything that a nation could ever need. Building markets and signing trade treaties with other nations can significantly increase a city's gold income. Getting a supply of different kinds of trade items into the empire will also make people happier and less troubled. With gold piling up in a city's inventory, the city can recruit soldiers such as mercenaries and buy supplies from the merchant for defensive purposes or to fight back against invaders. In order to have sufficient gold, however, the nation must be large or have a well balanced foreign policy to maintain trade routes.

Pacifism - Sometimes war is not the only means to expand the empire. Building a number of libraries will increase the culture of a nation and smaller nations that are allies will likely willingly join the empire. Although the progress of this philosophy is slow and not certain, it does present a way to peacefully rule the world.

I've noted that sometimes, when a nation is destroyed, i didn't get a message.

Otherwise, great game and great fun....
