Hi, did you ever try ancient times? I think it has a lot of potential. It is a bit bizarre to have air power though.
No. I will take a look at it.
As for ancient air power, checkout https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_the_Sogdian_Rock

@board-3659 For those following this thread, I will mention that Global War 1936 is a part of series of games available from historicalboardgaming.com/.
I haven't played the game, but I read the rules it seems to have excessive complexity.
Honestly, that's probably the game's biggest weakness and strength. It overhauls and vastly improves A&A's formula but it ends up having really specific rules that even veteran players tend to mess up on or occasionally debate the specifics of

@board-3659 I will think about it. With over 50 different unit types, it would a lot of work to implement. Some rules may impossible to implement. Others will need to be modified, especially to work with the AI.
There is a way of supporting supply paths within TripleA

@board-3659 Air units in pre-1903 games actually make sense for dealing with light cavalry, raiders and the like, although you would need to prevent them from entering sea areas.
-
@rogercooper Yeah. I am actually thinking of modifying potentially an existing Pike-Shot Era Hasburg War to have a weird Clockpunk/Da Vinci tech feel with new ships, units, and probably more nations to play.
Even outside of more fantastical settings, air units can be implemented in places like the Napoleonic or Civil War since Balloons were prominent

@board-3659 You should check out the board game Magnifico. There is a computer version available on Steam.
