In the game you can change the name of your country, now i wish that you could change the flag in the game :c

If you're not so pacient on taking diplomacy with everyone and likes war as this game is dedicated, welcome, this post may help you with some war tactics on this game

1 - Let them attack: first of all, if you build a good defense against a weaker and smaller nation (Example: China vs North Korea) Let them attack until their economies are struggled, (this may be noticed if they attack with less troops), then after all the attacks, strike violently against the enemy and win the war with low resistance.

2 - Don't be sieged: NEVER let any enemy siege your army, it may makes it without supplies and weaken army, you may lose alot of troops, that is not glorious and the enemy may push back against you, also do sieges against strong armies of like 2000+ soldiers to weaken the enemy.
3 - Allies: Allies are the cherry of the cake in this game, with allies together both of you can beat a stronger nation (example Camboja and Laos vs Thailand) they also have a nice force that may help you alot in battle, also if your army is completely destroyed, your ally can still hold the positions when you're recovering your army, i've used this tactic alot of times and worked pretty well.
4 - You're never overprepared:  Thinking that you're overprepared for any war can be some kind of illusion, (don't think like you can't take luxembourg with 70000 troops, please)  this game is a box of surprises that can destroy you some time (example: 3 nations may declare war at you at the same turn), you need to have absolute trust that you're going to take that country.
5 - Have a good economy:  To have a good army, you need first to have a very well developed economy,  so you can still be stabilized with an enormous army spending, this may help you to recover the army in case of emergencies, if not have a good economy, VERY HIGH CHANCE of your treasure be negative and you lose cause you can't rebuild the army.
6 - Armoury and Supply camps: NEVER forget about these 2 buildings, they ABSOLUTELY are important for your wars:
 
Armoury: Basically troops become cheaper, very good for builds of enormous armies
Supply Camps: Very important if you're invading a big country (Example: invading russia)


Thank you all for the attention, Hope i helped you alot, if you got any extra tips, comment it, it may help new players to get good at this kinda complicated game.

Hello! I came to talk about a great site/app that can be used to create maps of each season for the AoC.
The site in question I'm talking about is
http://geacron.com

Take a look at the site, you'll love it, as I also loved seeing you. And this is what I come to bring to you, I hope you create many maps.

Hi guys. I want create a new mod but i want to know if you like it. This mod will makes days slower, the income will be lower, rebeles should be stronger and it will increase risks of riots, it will be more expensive create a new army. So, the game will be very hard. What do you think about? Do you want this mod?

MILITARY 
 
Army
 
Morale 
Army has morale as hp bar. When it reach 0 the army retreat. The chances of army recreating depends on general skill and technology difference. 
General
Each army need a general. Army that doesn't have general has -50% morale. 
When a general die in a battle it decrease  army morale by 50% and have 10% chances to retreat. 
General skills 
1 ⭐ general to 5 ⭐ general
Each ⭐ increase morale by 2%
Retreat chances :
⭐ - 60%
⭐⭐ - 70%
⭐⭐⭐ - 80%
⭐⭐⭐⭐ - 90%
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -100%
No general - 10%
 
Siege 
Province occupation :
No fortress - 1 turn
Lv 1 fortress - 2 turn
Lv 2 fortress - 3 turn
Lv 3 fortress - 4 turn
 
Garrison 
Each fortress have garrison. Each level add 1000 garrison army. A fortress province need at least equivalent amount of army to occupied. An army will never occupy a fortress province if it has less army than the garrison. 
 
Technology 
Each point of military weapon technology increase 10% attack. (because there is no way a tribe with spear need same amount of army that equipped with gun and have an even casualties in a battle) 
 
I'll think about unit type that range from early civilization to modern era later. 
I don't know how to mod to add all these stuff, probably need some programming (which is I don't know a thing). I just give an idea that will improve the game.
