Game questions.

Post by stormbringer3 »

I've just started playing and I have a couple of questions. How can I find the maximum stacking value of a hex? Which optional rules are recommended? I definitely want HQs but I'd like opinions on large stack penalty and no support unit block.
Thanks.

Hey, that's a really useful button!
Looks like it's exclusive to this series though...

Another question. I see that there're different AI processing speeds. Some games will help the AI depending on the processing speed. What does the different speeds do in this game?
Thanks again.

I believe the AI speed setting is how fast it goes through displaying its moves, combat etc. No impact to quality of the moves, I am fairly sure (but have put my foot in my mouth recently so who knows!).
