less technical comment i suppose/ by about 1810 or so, as the French, I have control over all spanish cities. occasionally, due to errors by me in setting up decent garrisons, I loose a city to the spanish. that then re-sets the '2 year' timer , and means i have to keep slogging on. Now, my VPs are ...

Just a note, I am working slowly through the Spanish campaign, but it is very slow. Have got maybe half way into 1809. It seems simple enough as the French to spread out accross the peninsula and take ground. Am I then later going to be challenged by Spanish uprising and English armies? It seemed ea...

Many nationalities

When an army is composed of many differing nationalities, I notice that many of these never attain reinforcements. When, say, there are Bavarian troops supporting the French in Austria, there are replacements available for the French divisions, but none for the Bavarian ones. Is this intentional? In...

Yes, I can indeed see the text on the tool tip.
It just seems a shame that the icons have been designed but I cannot read them clearly.
Never mind, just a thought.

Apologies, I have not put the f patch on.
With some other game companies it is advisable to wait until people confirm stability before applying the patch.

National morale

I am wondering whether it is possible to force a victory by reducing the enemies national morale. Whilst playing the scenario to capture vienna and move east, I have occupied practically every town, and generally beaten the Austrian army with a 4:1 casualty ratio. Their national morale, however, per...

Small icons.. magnify?

I just noticed the tiny icons in the battle screen that tell you many little facts about the battle.. the chain of little round ones below the units. Anyway, with these and also the leader trait icons, they are shown rather small even at good screen resolutions (and I often play on a not so good mon...

Yes that was exactly my problem.
However I now started watching very carefully where the pointer is pointing and it became a whole lot easier.

mergind armies on separate tabs

sorry if this has been asked before. when i split units off a force, they become a separate tab on the force selection panel. when i bring a group on different armies into the same region, I have many tabs to select between them. For some reason I can't understand how to merge two tabs or the elemen...

control of cities

just a questuion about the VP gain for control of cities. For example, I have occupied Moscow almost continuously from August to November. After capture the army has generally stayed in the city, excpet for a couple of turns travelling to neighbouring towns to take them. Now, the ownership of Moscow...

Is there any way to check supply line? Or is it simply a string of towns along a road all beloning to the inavder's side? Can supply be traced accross any suitable road, or does it need to be the most direct? I ask because these things are not clear, and it would be nice to understand why I win or l...

I forgot to mention I have not yet applied patch 1.02.

I suppose my main question is, have I totally wrong-footed the AI here, or will they react and try to defend instead of attacking (non-key) French assests in Poland/Prussia?

Reinforcement visibility

At present, to find understrength divisions, I need to click on the force composition, and then look ar the red bars on the icons indicating force build up. If I aim to reinforce an army, by leaving it stationary in a town ( and I think in defensive posture), the only way to check if any reinforceme...

Russia campaign unusual

Is this normal? In the invasion of Russia scenario, I chose to take Riga on the way east. This meant a large proportion of the Grande Armee passed north and then east of the Russian forces. The Russian army proceeded to attakc Brest-Litovsk, and indeed harass some south german/polish cities as well....
