However, that does not seem to work as I have my big "musket cap" army in Edo, but the Rebel loyalty does not decrease. So I am at loss of what I can do here.
If the Japanese player chooses the historical path to the Meiji Restauration, each major event chain increases the Rebel loyalty throughout all mainland provinces. After Ii Naosuke is assassinated in 1860, this Rebel loyalty reaches 100% everywhere. This means that the player can no longer recruit a...
As Japan I just purchase new "modernized" divisions well in preparation of the eventual Boshin War, and I either disband the feudal units or use them as expendable auxilliaries or garrisons. Also, warships do not magically upgrade. Like in real life, you have to buy new ones and scrap the ...
1) Should I be including a few Corps inside the theatre GHQ itself? Heavy Artillery? Would these function as a Strategic Reserve for all Armies that are attached to it? 2) Also, what is the best way to use Heavy Artillery for offensives? Should I include them inside Armies, but outside of any Corps?...
Interesting, good to know. However, normalizing these bad relations simply with State Visits would take a long time. Are there other options, besides taking their bases and holding until relations are diplomatically brought to neutral? Also, does holding these towns and outposts have an influencing ...
What do you mean, they are "at war with Russia on the map"? Here is the Azeria tribe for example: https://i.imgur.com/v8Vi3AW.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Eddfh7q.jpg I know I am also at war with the Chechens because I captured Grozny, yet in the diplomatic screen, I have a Passage Right treat...
How can the Russian player deal with the Caucasian tribes? Many of them (the Kuban, Chechens, Azerians, etc) are at war with Russia on the map from the beginning, yet they are diplomatically at peace so they cannot sign a peace treaty. So how can Russia pacify them, what are the mechanics exactly? W...
I begin an AAR playing Russia from January 1805 on another forum. What would your tips and advice be not to break the AI too much? I am pondering the following moves: 1) Do we go straight for Napoleon and ally ourselves with Great Britain to join the Coaliton? 2) Do we pursue a bash-the-Ottomans-fir...
But Armies cannot initiate combat, as per the manual. So what's the use, without Corps?
Let's say I have an Army with enough units to reach 21 CP, how can I use them for combat? Or should I leave it empty behind and use only Independent stacks to fight, until Corps arrive?
I am not sure I understand what you mean by "command control", game-wise. If I enter a battle with an Independent stack and a full-CP Army lays nearby, will the latter still march to the sound of guns? Will they still act as an operational reserve? What is confusing to me is that Armies ca...
Yes, this is a very newbish question but I cannot find the exact answer in the manual: What use are Armies before Corps are enabled, for countries other than France? Can they provide bonuses to Independent stacks nearby? In the manual it is written that Armies cannot initiate battles by themselves: ...
Always felt that soloing was not really playing. There's always the subconscious impulse to favour one side and no mystery exists of the other player's intentions.
I might purchase for multiplayer if there are enough players.
I purchased WSS on Steam when it was released. Each time I start the game I get the following prompt on loading: """""" The Confirmation Several errors have been generated and the application is stalling. Please reach the AGEOD support forum, and post the game logs loca...
I'm currently playing against the AI as the Western Entente, trying this game out, but I am confused about how best to using the Navy. I have a few basic questions a few questions about how to use my Navy assets : a) I understand that I should be sending my Transports and my Subs to Shipping boxes u...
Are there issues with the Steam release of EAW? I expected EAW to become available on Steam today, August 29th. However the game is still unavailable to be bought over the Steam store page.
One of the things that most detracted of my enjoyment of AACW was Calvary units raiding up way out of range into Illinois or deep North in the Northern states. Was this fixed in ACW2 and if so, how?
Of course, the AI is clearly performing less optimally in army-by-army mode. I THINK I finally managed to spot the reason for this, and already notified Calvinus about it. It appears (please deny this if isn't true), that if the AI fails to coordinate a given number of Armies with the active army, ...
You're playing in army-by-army mode, no more than one battle can take place in one area. A battle already took place in Gumbinnen. Look indeed the yellow flare around the VIII German army stack in Gumbinnen: it means it was involved in battle and it wasn't defeated (otherwise the color was brown). ...
In this save game, August 1914 Military Phase, the Russian I Army, when activated, cannot move in the region of Gumbinnen to attack the detachment of VIII Army. :confused: However, I can place them anywhere else in East Prussia, even targetting the VIII Army HQ. Only Gumbinnen is barred in this save...
Just as an example of what I mean, look at this screenshot. The Russian VIII army has a mandatory attack on Posen for this turn. Yet, I can set a waypoint in Piotrkow, away from the German border , to intercept the German III Army, and the movement is allowed as long as my last waypoint is set on Po...
After getting to know the game a bit I've decided to try out Army-Army Activation. I'm pretty sure I have the basics, but one thing stopping me at this point. At the beginning of the Grand Campiagn, Russian I Army is obligated to attack Koenigsburg, and so I dutifully tell it to attack there. Howev...
Reloading from my save game, I encounter the following bug. In the Reinforcement phase, I am unable to place further Reinforcements in the Russian III Army, which is my Eastern Front main army due to Czar Plan, because it contains the usual maximum of 7 Corps. In fact, I should be able to place up t...
