Oh, Jagger2013 ... Don't tell me about AI :) It is VERY basic. In DNO I went straight to Moscow (Minsk - Smolensk ... Moscow) and met just NO resistance at all along the way. AI don't mobilize, don't regroup forces, build new units rarely, don't defend Strategic objects, does not care about Supply.....

DarkGarry

Huge changes in NM is the reason why DNO scenario is not playable, same reason - Grand campaign after 1920. When large armies emerge and destruction of units affect NM so drastically game goes out of balance very fast. NM is Win-or-Lost criteria + affects max cohesion, it should be affected by casua...

DarkGarry

May be don't change National Morale at all as result of battle? I propose to change it by taking/losing victory objectives (several NM) and level of Total casualties (-1NM for every 20000 or so). There are too many cases when NM is wasted. Current penalties for destroyed unit and when city surrender...

DarkGarry

Fleets are good to transport troops and prevent enemy troops from crossing rivers. Also can Bombard, but damage is small. Replacements. You need to build them and spend money, manpower and supply resources. Those resources are generated in Objective cities or by events or by your Regional decisions....

DarkGarry

It depends. If Red focus on defending Tsaritsin there is NO Way Whites would be able to take it. And normally in the early game Red concentrate forces in Tsaritsin. But as the game progresses if Siberians crossed Volga and advance to Tambov, they would cut Tsaritsin from other forces. In the long ru...

Siberian Whites can build Tachanka units BUT CAN't FIX it! There is no tachankas to buy on Production screen as reinforcement.

Thanks...

Yes. If necessary will post from the current PBEM game. I think it's not hard to reproduce by experimenting - I just posted observations regarding MTSOG.

DarkGarry

Also BUSs suspected regarding MTSOG: 1. Corps that came into a battle via MTSOG participate in battle TO THE END (battle ends or they got killed). They NEVER attempt to disengage and retreat. 2. Corps that came into a battle via MTSOG seems to be the PRIORITY TARGET for enemy. It's from experiments ...

DarkGarry

There is a an issue with MTSOG. If corps has armored train attached it STILL MARCHES to sound of guns into neighbouring region even if these 2 regions not connected by railroads. Both regions next to each other has railroad, but not connected (example Nijni Novgorod and Pavlovo). In our game several...

DarkGarry

I think there is an issue when division travelling by railroad can go through 14 areas per turn (not 15 as before). Also during travel abnormally high loss of Cohession seen.

DarkGarry

Several issues detected with latest path: 1. I noticed that Desertion event does not damage Siberian Whites. Desertion Event happens, but I didn't found any affected units. Reds are affected by desertion pretty hard. 2. Influenza event. It looks like that when Influenza affects Red regiments it does...

DarkGarry

There is a minor issue.

All NEW Red officers start as Inactive, can be only in Defensive/Passive posture and CAN'T create a division.

But NEW White officers are Active and NO RESTRICTION applied.

Suggestion - make new RED officers unrestricted too.

DarkGarry

Thanks! I believe that even peaceful existence of Anarchists should bring some inconveniences for Whites.

And as discussed above current costs of Red alliance is prohibitively high.

DarkGarry

Single armoured train would capture more than 25% MC in one region in ONE turn. You just give it a repetitive order to move into region and out of region. The last move order should be out of region.

DarkGarry

I suggest to limit NM losses for small forces for major factions. In PBEM I had several cases: 1. loss of 1 NKVD unit = -1NM 2. loss of 1 brigade (4 units) = -2 NM 3. loss of 5 units (small force with total 8000 men) = -4 NM I feel such a big loss of NM is disproportional(at least for RUS game). Red...

DarkGarry

If in one region there are several divisions. If all put into single column they have -35% malus. But if all divisions are in separate columns then every has -10%. Question: What the difference (one column vs several columns) in battle mechanics if that region was attacked by enemy? PS. It's about c...

DarkGarry

I see, of course that's WAD, but the reality is a direct proportion between unit headcount and damage it may inflict. May be a point to improve engine in many years ahead?

DarkGarry

Whites need only 25% to use railroads, they don't need MC for other reasons. Currently there is anarchists region on the reail line Taganrog - Donbas - Kiev. This way anarchists existence brings minor inconvinience preventing fast train movement. If whites capture 25% of MC along this line they may ...

DarkGarry

Another issue - I suggest to make a more sensitive trigger to cause war with whites (and Alliance with Reds) for Anarchists. Current trigger: >>The Whites must end a turn in Anarchist territory, as defined by the regions: .... can be easily avoided by whites. Whites can gain military control with Ar...

DarkGarry

There is no maintenance costs in RUS. Units only have to consume Supply (means food and water) and Ammo when fighting. If Reds can build ANY number of ANY division they will build only MAMMOTH size brigades like 4 infantry 1 Cavalry 1 Arty so their divisions will be pumped to about 50k size EACH. I ...

DarkGarry

Yes. Pool increases are included. Overall current balance looks not that bad, if we take Armoured trains into account. But here is a pitfall - Reds are short of Supply to produce all that trains. May be add more supply for reds? Like generate a bit more per turn, or get more from Murmansk and Archan...

DarkGarry

Very different strategies in PBEM and against AI. AI is really weak, it is good for practice only. To learn strategies read this forum and Paradox Plaza RUS AARs. There are several very good AARs (after action reports) by Bornego, for example.

DarkGarry

Actually Armoured trains were excluded from calculation. Their building is Supply-expensive for Reds. That bring another balance alternative - increase Supplies output for Reds (probably in Moscow, Petersbourg, Tula) by 50%. That will allow building of Armoured trains more easily and will improve ba...

DarkGarry

Sure - calculation is approximate. The difference would be like 80x5 = -400. If not getting Gold train -300. So total would be like 15500. I was calculating Cap - maximum possible money amount. I understand that Red need to increase Railroad capacity(100), hire Elite (30), hire Cossacks like once or...

DarkGarry

Yes, -5 NM at once and -2 per annum sounds fare to me. Compare with cost of Balt, Finland etc alliance for White. Currently cost of Alliance per year is -5 - 24 = -29 (OACH!!!!) and going - it's UNACCEPTABLE price for about 1500 pw who can fight in Ukraine ONLY(can't be included into divisions ! + s...

DarkGarry

In 1.05b RUS version PBEM have a case when Whites Armoured train passed through area under Anarchists control, so area Military control became 50% white, 50% Anarchists. But Anarchists DIDN't allied Reds as a result. In previous versions I think it was triggering alliance with RED. 1. Is it bug? 2. ...

DarkGarry

There is an imbalance in unit pool capacity (checked for Red only so far). It means that with current level of money income Red army will reach maximum strength even before the middle game (before turn 40 out of 86). Let's calculate APPROXIMATELY total possible game income for Red. Starting (80), pe...

Light infantry is good to fight in irregular terrain, like marshes, forests, hills. They have small frontage, it is good as per AGEOD battle algorithm. Also they have VERY SMALL supply consumption, that makes them good substitute for raiders.

DarkGarry

I reported before in Imrovements thread that in previous path Unforgiving REDUCE loyalty. If I recall correctly -2 in the city, -1 outside city.
