I've played Early Zenata for 2-3 hours and want to share some first impressions
of the North American release, and ask for some advice.
What a relief it is to be able to save a game. It is also nice to have a Spy and a
Cleric.
I naturally tend to the "build your economy patiently/steamroller the planet" style
which seems to work nicely in this game. I am quite fortunate in getting along
very well with Cordoba. I have built a base on "my half" of Africa and I am starting
to invade (modern day) France with Cordoba and the phoenix-like Zirids.
I have decided to convert all these heretic Christians to the Muslim Faith.. and I am
a little suprised that the Papacy and Austria (in the location of the HRE) are trying to
get trade agreements with me. I am picking on despised Christian nations and
politically being nice. This leads to two unexpected questions (hard setting)
1 There appears to be *no* penalty for declaring war/being generally aggressive
if the forms are observed, I would have thought that overmuch ambition would tend
to make neutrals dislike you, especially on hard.
2 Converting a province to your faith probably should have *some* impact on the
adherents of the previous religion. Conversion appears to be diplomatically
neutral.
I had set autosave to 15 minutes. A good thing to have because KoH Crashed to
Desktop once. I really have no idea what triggered it. I had just attacked the
only Spanish province (near Tunis) and was beginning to lose when WHAM!
I put that misfortune to good use because the autosave was far enough back that
I could put the proper resources on the taking of the Spanish.
3 What do I do to report a CTD to BSS/the forum for consideration in any future
patch or in KoH2? Can I run KoH in a way to better gather information if I do
figure out how to reproduce the problem?
I have just been invited by my ally Cordoba to romp and stomp on Pomerania
and Wessex. I can't wait for my next session. Thank you for a fine game.
