Durk wrote:Just a quick note from someone who usually plays pbem, supply constraints work very well. So hopefully this nice historical limit is also maintained.

I think the AI struggles, would be good to have a solution which doesn't make it easier on the player.

I like the 'simple' supply rules of this and BOA, they make more sense for the era. However, I am not a fan of being able to manually create supply networks with carts, it feels like gaming the system and rewards micro-management in a way that is counter to everything else about the game. I've alway...

I agree with Conrad about timed entry. It's so unlikely that a Protestant player will do so well as to void the reasons for Swedish entry. Ideally a random variation of 6 months either side of a fixed date would be perfect.

I played one game so far, Bohemian Revolt HRE. I really think it captures the difficulty of managing armies. I spent most of my time not doing anything and trying to make sure I kept the Austrian army intact. I didn't recruit much, luckily as I just about managed to stay solvent later in the game. I...

Waterloo is a great victory but it is not as decisive as portrayed by the English press and propaganda which his accepted by some history books. The real blow to Napoleon was the losses in Spain and Russia followed by the coup de grace in Leipzig. Even if Napoleon wins Waterloo, the Russian army wa...

Not a movie, but something you can listen to while playing: White Mansions A country concept album about the civil war written by an englishman is about the most absurd idea to explain, but this story is fantastic. Tells the experiences from a number of different characters from start to post war. I...

I disagree on that, aside from Butler that is. In most of my games I enjoy irking Butler by promoting Nathaniel Lyon above him. Partly because Lyon looks a bit like me and shares my first name, but mostly because I dislike Butler. Freemont can be useful to bring loyalty up in contested regions like...

I agree with the general advice here, don't put anything you don't want to lose in a structure close to the enemy. I would add three others: Halleck, Freemont, and Butler as close to or if possible behind enemy lines. I used to send them all to Buffalo, but I hold out the vain hope that they will be...

I would agree with you if the Union troops had destroyed the food and infrastructure, and then prevented the civilians from leaving the area by rounding them up in camps or otherwise keeping them tied to a man-made wasteland. As it was, they were free to leave and take their chances elsewhere. In b...

I must respectfully disagree with this for two reasons. While the Shenandoah Valley Burning and March to Sea were brutal, spread fear and lawlessness, and resulted in civilian deaths, both indirectly and directly, neither was conducted for the sake of killing civilians, as the indiscriminate shelli...

It was decimation , no other word for it. Furthermore, the Franco-Prussian War fought 15 years later, did not see either side stoop to the depths that Lincoln went to in giving Sheridan and Sherman carteblanche to pursue a complete scorched earth policy, pitilessly inflicted upon southern non-comba...

Those sounds like some big issues. Can you verify that you are running 1.06rc3 by clicking on the credits button on the main menu? Perhaps you installed into the wrong location. Looks like I botched the installation, 1.06 went into a sub directory of my CW directory. Going to try again with a new i...

Hi, After a fresh installation of ROP Gold I get the following: Game can't start, d3dx81ab.dll is missing I don't have the issue in the original ROP installation, which I bought from Ageod, only in the Matrix version gold download. Am I supposed to install the Gold version over the original version?

Is anyone playing the 1861 campaign? Has anyone run into issues? Just to confirm, I installed a clean version of 1.00 and applied the patch to the same directory. I have come across the following: 1) Cannot form Corps. Played as union up to mid 1862 and still can't form corps 2) Many event titles an...

hope others will chime in where I am wrong. 1 – Replacing*1 lost element => 1 chit. Replacing*1 hit in a unit with 10 SP => 1/10 chance to consume one chit. Replacing*1 hit in a unit with 6 SP => 1/6 chance to consume one chit. That makes sense....kind of. If I have 1/10 or 1/6 chance to consume a ...

I know I'm about 3 years late, but just getting into the game quite recently. Would appreciate some help: 1) Replacements. I understand that buying 1 replacement counts as approximately 10 replacement points. Is this correct, is it 10 or another calculation. Are existing replacement points (the numb...

As a new player i have just finished playing against the AI as both sides. I wanted to know what the opinions are of experienced players vs AI and human opponents on the balance between the nations. 1] Mainly does it seem 50-50 on who wins by either victory points or NM? if fought by even players 2...

As an advocate of the Eastern strategy, here is what the plan is about...and not about.... Guderian said, "Don't poke it with your finger, smash it with your fist!" Thats a really interesting strategy. How do you prevent the Confederates from amassing 100k troops in Richmond and turning it into Ver...

I played 1.06 through the end of 1862, couple of issues: - I could not form corps as the Union at any point. Divisions worked on schedule, but corps were never activated. - Union Siege artillery is missing images. It showed up in the reinforcement tool, but was not selectable - State militias - the ...

what setting have you use i would love to have an ai like that im not seeing it on mine using this pacth AI at Lieutenant, simple supply off, historical attrition moved 1 place to the right, everything else as standard. It doesn't seem too radical. I had hoped to defend in the east and attack in th...

Is anyone else noticing the CSA AI going nuts in 1.06? I'm playing with the AI setting in the middle and I can't keep up with their troops in 1861. They have raided with multiple brigade sized forces as far as Pittsburg and their main armies are currently sieging in Delaware and Philadelphia while l...

I took New Orleans in 1862 and destroyed the future Marine Corps and amphibious ambition somewhere outside Charleston in 1863. I am thinking of more widespread raids with smaller forces next time, it does seem as though every unit the South produced was either in Kentucky or Virginia. There were 2 a...

Buckeye et al, thanks for the excellent advice. Some very good stuff here. I managed to complete a game and win, without ever really 'winning' a battle. I got lucky and Lee's army retreated inside Richmond, the entire army surrendered some months later. The rest of the battles were either victory or...

Hi all, Although really enjoying the game, I am struggling to win anything like a significant victory in the field. All I seem to achieve is equal losses on both sides and the opposition quickly retreating. The McClennan in me doesn't seem to be able to effectively follow up either :) I understand w...

I havent posted in a while, life has reduced the amount of time I get to play, and practically eliminated the time I get to spend talking about games :) While I'm sad that the new game isn't on AGE, I understand that compromises are necessary, and if it keeps Phil+Phil making games, then the results...

Thanks,

Just for clarification, the map isn't scrolling too fast, it's the mouse moving flying around the window. The map moves fairly slowly with my current settings. Will this configuration correct the mouse speed or adjust how the map moves?

dinsdale

Game crashed for me during the diplomatic phase.

dinsdale

Hi, is there any way to adjust mouse sensitivity? My mouse is flying over the screen at light speed and I can't reall control the game.

I remember this was configurable in Great Invasions via a text file, is there a similar mechanism here?
