In units.txt (yeah, I've been doing a lot of searching there lately) it states that Fire Triremes get a .25 attack bonus versus wooden ships.Now that is interesting.... |

Is it interesting because the bonus exists or because you think it's too low? It makes sense to have a bonus because fire attacks against wood have a devastating effect. Maybe there should be a damage bonus against wooden ships instead of an attack bonus. |

I find it interesting for two reasons: First, because this bonus is listed in units.txt, and therefore probably exists. Secondly, because it is a rip off from Age of Empires. ;¬P Albeit, a historically accurate rip off.....sorta'.
No, but all kidding aside, I find it most interesting mainly because this bonus isn't stated anywhere else, in or out of the game. Or is it?

you mean the manual isn't accurate  I miss the days when game makers actually put out good manuals. Some geeks like me actually read them if they think it will make them better at the game. |

Because they want you to purchase their strategy guide. |

That is EXACTLY it. Most strategy guides that I've seen in recent days are all-too-thin on strategy, and instead just give you detailed information on units/buildings/items/commands etc that should have been in a manual in the first place. :P |

Yeah, and I'm not gonna bother with the strategy guide anyway. It'll be useless as soon as I install the MedMod II. ------------------
