A couple of things: The ACW has a series of events. It sounds like some/all of the events didnt fire or didnt fire properly. Second--see note by McN about leaders. Known bug, it is being fixed. Third--replacements. You have to build replacement elements (units) on the F2 screen. The numbers at the t...

or as a t-shirt I recently saw said:

"The voices in my wife's head tell me what to do."

Bah. You can always get another wife. Hard to find a good straegy game

Aragos

Ok, I only play the US (consider it a character flaw :D ). Here are some hints-- 1) build more gold mines in sacramento, and a railroad when you can. Gold gives you state funds and your captialists will make money off of it too 2) Build a Mechanical Goods factory on Turn 1. 3) Build, in this general...

Aragos

I'd add that Harbors above Level 2 and Naval Bases also allow for ships to gain replacements (allowing for new ships to be added to understrength counters)

Aragos

normally, this happens when one of the game turn files did not write properly (my guess is you have Vista or Win7). If so, go to your PON directory, to the VGN folder, then to the Saves folder. Go to the Backup1 folder copy everything and paste it into the Saves folder, overwriting the 3-4 files tha...

Like I said on the P'dox forums--be careful in saying "It's 1852 and I've got the economy down pat! Game over!" PON is not Victoria, Civ, etc. The economy will massively change as soon as coal-burning navies, expanded rails and larger factories show up. The OP makes the baseline assumption that what...

Aragos

Yep, it happens via events if you have them in colony status. So, if you want to make Kansas national soil, get it to Colony status then wait until the event fires in 1862-1864 timeframe.

Aragos

Pocus--feel free to use the PDF I did on the Paradox forum as well.

Once structures pop up, then you can find them, IIRC. The regions are basically western sector of New Mexico, central Arizona, the necky part of Utah, and parts of Montana.

Aragos

Sorry, the name of the region is ok. but it belongs to the state of missouri and not to kansas. :) Yeah, I've been bugging Philippe about that. (in full disclosure, I'm from that region). N. Missouri should be part of Missouri, and southern Arkansas should be part of Arkansas (and not Oklahoma). :)

ROFL!!!

Next up, a guide/sheet for Crisis.

Aragos

All,
I finished my cheat sheet. All 25 pages

It is on the Paradox Forum, under the sticky for the Strategy Guide. I have also attached it here for your use.

Hope it helps!

true carnhorn, and they kept fighting the Indians until 1890 :) The units you raise for the IW are pretty useless in large-scale fights (the Exp Brigades). If you raise larger units, and PON allows you to do so, you are also shifting $$ and resources from internal improvements, etc. Again, it is abo...

Aragos

good job Balck. Yes, he is right--the control, etc. means little to nothing until the turn plays out. What control reflects is whether the crisis has spun out of control (toward war) or not. The best way to handle a crisis is think about what you want--do you want to win at all costs or just end it ...

Aragos

Right. The sliders are a planning tool; they have nothing to do with buying and selling products.

Aragos

first, forget everything you know from playing other games (Victoria, Civilization, et al). PON doesn't reward aggressive annexation and conquest. It just doesn't. The game won't come to the peace table two days after you occupy the last province. To get Luxemborg, you are going to have to occupy it...

Aragos

IMHO, the best way is build a rail from St Louis to Ft Leavenworth, and a depot and pre-ind fort at Leavenworth. Put all the troops you have in western outposts in the outposts. It reduces attrition. Keep the big inf regts in St Louis, or when the fort/depot is running, in Leavenworth. Look at build...

But I use XP.

try and see if it works anyway

Aragos

yeah it may seem excessive, but only because the Prussians played their hand too strongly

Just wait until they go to war over it

yes, when the run out (e.g., 12 turns pass,etc) you get them back.

Aragos

I’ve been using my default starting units to crush the Indians (cavalry unit and Texas and St. Louis infantry units), and then I build the expeditionary troop units (1 inf and 1 cav battalion) to use as occupiers for regions I want to gain control of. They are cheap military units and don’t suffer ...

Aragos

Win7 right? Happens to me to. Quick fix--go to your PON\Saves directory. Inside are a bunch of folders and some files in the root directory. Backup1 means it is one turn before the last turn (e.g., Backup15 is 15 turns ago). Go into Backup1, copy everything there. THen paste it over the files in the...

Aragos

nope, 10% is the lowest. Basically, despite the best attempts of your politicians, the factory owners still slip some stuff out the back door....

Aragos

Is there an event/option for the "colonies" to become full members of the United States later in the game? You got that Little Mack :) What you need to do is get all the provinces to 100% CP. The States will then join the Union as "national soil." When that happens, it is a great day--prestige, plu...

stop it you people. Only one poet needs to be cited on a PON thread :D Tommy by Rudyard Kipling (1865– 1936) I went into a public-'ouse to get a pint o'beer, The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here."

Aragos

I've always assumed Out-of-Supply meant 0% on hand supply. The units I've mentioned all kept their on hand supply levels at 100% and never decreased it, so technically they aren't considered Out-of-Supply I guess. Jim If their supply was 100%, then it was attrition in that undeveloped region. In ot...

Aragos

I meant to add that some 'factories' (like military acadamies) require State Funds to function. If they do, they will not show up on the F4 ledger but you'll have to go hunt them down.

Aragos

bring all the US squadrons home; there is no need for them to be there and they will attrit over time. Leave your trade fleets in place--they do not attrit

Aragos

Don't declare war! You won't really get anything out of it (historically, the USA never declared war officially against any tribe...). Best option--occupy all the area with troops. Build an outpost or fort on their capital region: APA - Flagstaff CHE - Las Cruces CRE - Athabasca NZP - Bozeman SIX - ...
