Tjänare på dig själv Norrman! :niark: That smiley feels right for the both of us vikings :D I actually made some scandinavian-flavoured scenarios for "Age of rifles" many years ago. I made "Slaget vid Lund" and some other before I got tired of the lack of information available about those old battles.

I kind of agree with you too :) The army naming thing works well many times. It's a great feature when creating your own non-historical armies. But I read somewhere on this forum that one guy had replaced Lee as commander of the AONV and the army got renamed to something like "Whoever was the new co...

McNaughton; Thanks for that info, now I understand the reason for having such small brigades. Having 5 regiments in a brigade at full theoretical strength would mean brigades of 5000 men and that would be extremly unrealistic. 5000 is fine for divisions but not for most brigades. But when thinking a...

Another thing, why do so many brigades consist of 2-3 regiments? That was not the case in the actual civil war. Perhaps it was in Napoleonic wars (I don't really know much about that) but most brigades in the civil war contained more than 3 regiments. Some confederate brigades, late in the war, coul...

Both are excellent, but I prefer each as they are. I'm probably in the minority but I would not like to see this. Wouldn't it be cool to fight a battle in more detail? Not every single one of course. Then the game would take forever :-) It'd nice with a similar option to that in Forge of Freedom. W...

Yes, it sure was a great game. I spent countless hours with that. Of course it did have it's limitations as well, primarily graphics though. Most things were easy to mod but graphics were a real pain, at least for me :niark: Also, the campaigns sucked big time. That's one great thing about AACW, the...

Ok, good. That would be one way of dealing with the artillery situation I guess. Not ideal, but it does work. But what about unattached single regiments that are not brigaded? I can't imagine it would be that hard to make it possible to just group a bunch of these together and call them a brigade, w...

I should probably point out that I really do like this game and will probably put in quite a few hours of gaming once I get the CD. I just find it very strange that I can create a brigade with a certain configuration and then never touch it again. In the same way that I think I should be able to cal...

It's not the "building" part I'm talking about. I have no problem with that, there are plenty of options available for what to build. It's the ability to change my organizations as I go along in the game I'm after. One example is that I might have one corps that lacks artillery and one that has too ...

Thanks for the info guys, also thanks for the welcome :hat: Although I'm a bit disheartened by the fact that you basically can never reorganize your armies. Which is a thing that happened regulary and that I'm sure I'll be wanting to do further into a game. I don't really understand why it's designe...

Is it impossible to remove units from brigades?

Hi! I've only played the demo so far, ordered the full game a few days ago. So I might not be aware of things implemented in the patches. Am I correct in my understanding that you can't move anything out of your brigades? I would like to organize my armies with proper artillery brigades instead of o...

Sure, I can certainly see your point. Gameplay, even in my book :sourcil: , has to come first. Then again, there will always be gameplay issues to solve and some developing time will always have to be spent on things that "just makes the game look better" and not really adds anything to the engine o...

Details of regiments....

1. This one should be easy...on the details-box that you get when clicking on a regiment, I think it should state the name of the regiment and the leader. 2. This might be a little harder...leaders from regimental level and up would be my highest wish. Leaders should exist for all regiments and be a...

Unit/Formation naming?

Hi! I just played the demo and was so blown away that I ordered the game straight away. I've been playing Take Command for a while but have been waiting for something like this since "From Sumter to Appomattox". My wet dream is a combination of Ageod's ACW and Take Command: 2nd Manassas...to be able...
