The OG military systems was fine. It just needs a bit of consistency in telling you from where they'll attack from. As well some fixing of glitchiness, where armies didn't quite do what you told them to do. Knowing what side to defend and maybe having your army get teleported to in between your city and the enemy would be fine.

Huh. I've never actually tried caesar 2 ... I got 3 on your recommendation but haven't played it enough yet to see the military system. Looking at some youtube content ... comparing it to games I know, caesar 2's military setup looks like a similar system to Master of Magic (although that is turn based, not real-time) and a lot like lords of magic (fantasy relative of lords of the realm). Although both of those games are more empire building than city building games. I've been trying to work on a strategy engine recently and that pop-out battle system is one of the points I wanted to include. Maybe I'll put down a note about adding city design elements down the road.
@GamerZakh

Caesar 2's military is a lot like a proto-Total War kind of thing. As an idea, I think Caesar 2 has the best for city-building with empire management combo. Later city-building/strategy games tended to either lean more city-builder or more strategy. It's rough today but I'd say it's still worth playing a bit of Caesar 2 to see how it brought it all together. It's just the main thing missing from Caesar 2 is a proper story or campaign. It's kind of just 10 almost identical missions and then it ends. I played 4 missions and I think I saw everything the game had to offer.

@@GamerZakh Well, with that much going on at the world map level, there's really very little reason for a campaign that stretches across multiple maps ... because each game kinda already is one. You could play through the entirety of Caesar's conquests in like 4 city maps. I can still imagine a middle ground though, where you build up a city with various outposts, set up export industries and train traders, and then get to interact with those systems down the line as you move into other cities. But yeah, I'll definitely have to try playing it. Watching you play helps me appreciate the game but doesn't give me the chance to explore and discover in quite the same way. If I can figure out what makes it tick, maybe I can figure out how to smooth the rough edges and make something even better.

I was kind of excited about this (I don't know what to call it, remaster? Remake? Neither?) Anyway. I expected to get something new while keeping some of the old fun. Turns out, it's merely the very same game, head to toe, only redisigned, and not to any spetacular effect, I mean, it's just a cartoonish art style applied on the sprites of the isometric designs of the original. That, some enhanced UI, some very basic options that should go without saying anyways on this day and age, and some enhanced display resolution , I guess? Which doesn't even count as an improvement. With the monitors we have now, it's a necessity. So, the "new" part I was expecting, I had to just let go. Well, at least the game got rid of the annoying old bugs? Nope. Plagued with bugs. Ten I thought, well, even if the improvements were minor, there's no way they could make it worse in any way, so it's still better. Well, let's talk about the military action, or rather, the lack thereof. All things considered, I figured it's just not worth it. I still play the OG casually and it works as well as ever. Still wish there was a really improved version of it though.

You can start saving money early on any mission and accumulate enough to boost the Kingdom rating. It's a little tricky before your default wage it around 12-15 because it builds so slowly, but after that you can actually lower your wage to 12 and the Kingdom is happier because you're paying yourself less than the default and still accumulating enough every year to give lavish gifts.

Yeah I'm joining the haters on this military system. Only in "Naval Action" boarding actions does it get any kind of worse than this (maybe, it's just a table of numbers , but you at least have choices and it's a gamble mini-game). This is a city builder game, I could argue why even have battles, but the original utilzied war as means to be a real threat to what you've built was part of it's charm and challenge. Having it sterilized into a separate auto-battler with, I assume, monetary and structure consequences is almost as lazy as you could possibly get... Almost, I mean they could just make it a message pop-up and just break your structures and steal you money instantly.
