Arsan, the Spanish Colonial Minister, paced angrily throughout the room. "That idiot Gage has cost us a lot of money! All commercial agreements between Spain and the British Empire are in a mess because Boston was lost! Everything produced around and north of Boston is sealed off from our markets un...

Thanks everybody for the tip about the army. I'll try it. Attached you have 2 saves: "the very first turn" which means what it says and "Backup11" (which is the 2nd turn of the campaign). Load "Backup 11". Click 'end turn'. Gage has surrendered 4 out of 4 times in my tests before uploading the save ...

Second turn. Turn 1: I move into the region. (orange setting, not red! not the "full assault" one!) Turn 2: they surrender. Howe wasn't there yet. Just as a note: many events don't show up in the Message Box in all occurrences of playing the campaign - although they should. Ex.: First time I played ...

Voila! ... I have edited the previous post. The attachments weren't working.

How did I do it? Removed Ward. United all armies near Boston (forgot the name of the territory). Sent them to Boston with orange attack setting. Event (no battle).

I've also noticed that in the WIA ledger page, the VPs aren't listed, so I can't see, for example, that Montreal is worth more than Ft. Niagra. This is with the latest patch. Is this WAD? I thought that maybe I was imagining this, so I went to check all of AACW, NCP & WIA. It seems that only the la...

I know what you mean. The game interface tricks you :D : the stack leader is Artemas Ward (2-1-2 :fleb: ) who is almost always inactive. So I separated him from the stack, and now I can move at will with that army. From my previous -and only - experience with this scenario the siege goes fine and th...

Thanks.

Just the kind of info I needed.

whitewolf1981

I did, thanks for tip.

BTW, i'm not a very good player. Expect the worst and give tips anytime you feel like it (this is not just for arsan, everybody who reads this thread can contribute).

"Gage is standing put inside the marvelous city of Boston", George Washington told his friends seated around the table. "He is waiting for the Crown to come with a relief force." "Boston must be taken quickly", the man seated to Washington's right said in a guttural tone. "Who is this man?", inquire...

1. The War of Independence scenario: in January 1776, as the rebs, I received about 20 messages along the lines of: "2nd New Jersey/1st Delaware/2nd Georgia/etc. was disbanded" Did I do something stupid :bonk: or is it a scripted event? 2. Same scenario: what is the level of intervention necessary f...

Thank you. This is the kind of support that makes me a faithful AGEOD customer

Very smart idea. I second that. The question is: what trigger should one use?

Edit: Of course the French should be in the war for at least a year. It wouldn't be fun for them to enter and then leave a month later

. So that condition should be there.

whitewolf1981

I have no problem with the game mechanic. It's just that the text is a bit unclear/confusing.

In other words, I *know* what I am *trying* to do. What I want to know is the *outcome* of my attempt.

Sorry if I'm not clear, it's not really such a big issue to make a fuss over.

whitewolf1981

.. OK.

So did I succeed in my attempt?
Why not add to the sentence: "and you succeed" or "and you don't succeed".

Even better:
"Elite troops were trained as per your orders" or
"Attempt to train elite troops was unsuccessful"

Just a suggestion.

This community has helped me so much, now it's time to give... Bios added for the remaining 163 (!) generals. Yes, it includes the British, French and Mexican ones for which I could find information. Observations: 1) I've tried to stick to the format adopted in this forum and in-game. The only excep...

First of all, welcome to a :coeurs: :coeurs: community and to a :coeurs: :coeurs: game! To the point, you're probably looking at the wrong portion of the screen to figure out what army a general is part of. In the manual, at page 20, a red box in the illustration indicates what you should be looking...

Rafiki makes a great point. If I win 6-7 battles with a one-star general, I may want to see a promotion for the man - maybe he's good enough to handle a corps :sourcil: The fact that only a certain number of generals can be promoted takes some of the fun out. But I guess this is way too much work (I...

Oh... and how about "Training of [unit name] is nearly finished"? Perhaps keep that message but also add a "Training of [unit name] is finished" message when cohesion is full. That and name-clicking in the newspapers (which cannot be done) are the 2 things I really look forward to. But the game woul...

Since it's on topic, I thought I shouldn't open a new thread: What files do I need to edit and how to make all generals promotable (if they get enough experience that is, I don't mean cheating)? I understood that as the game is right now, some (most?) generals can never be promoted from 1 star to 2 ...

The short answer: Being overwhelmed depends on the AI difficulty level and level of aggression. As the CSA, something will not work right at any given time: you will not have available soldiers (=conscription points). Or you will have enough soldiers, but not money. Or you will have enough money, bu...

The screenshot is attached: moving Beauregard from Loudon, VA to Frederick, MD will take (hold your breath now) 175 days. I guess this were funny ... if Beauregard's corps weren't stuck! :8o: As in, it takes more than 100 days for it to get to *any* other region. And it's a condition that has lasted...

Reiver is absolutely right. If only 10% of what he is proposing could be done, it would be great. My favorite is "unlocking" all generals in that, given enough experience, any of them could be promoted. To be honest, I'm stunned that no such mod has appeared already - it really seems to be common se...

Situation: I am playing as the Confederacy (1.08a) vs. the AI, no patches except the RR mod.

Thanks for the reply. You're doing a great job.

... that hopefully won't be too hard to implement: 1. Inform the player via log when general is promoted automatically via script. There is already a thread about this, and it's a matter of great importance. No need to make a big event out of it (would consume precious time resources), just sth alon...
