Hi Gray, using 081102, I just installed over 1.11g (beta) (clean install and got the message to confirm I wanted to overwrite files so assuming installation procedure was correct) and started an April 1861 GC as CSA. Seems turns are advancing by month rather than bi-monthly. Forgive me if it's me be...

Wonder whether OP may not have allowed permission for AACW to change the registry? I use spybot and it's fine provided that you allow programmes you want to run alter the registry :)

Thanks Berto. The marathon battles are certainly a lot rarer in my games under the past couple of beta patches.

Combat feedback from a dunce :D

Berto - battle results seem 'just right' for small engagements. Noticing however that in past couple of betas linked on this thread, CSA corps seem to be very easily lost in totality. Playing on default settings with historical attrition vs Athena and in past two games I seem to be seeing that the ...

This may be related to cost of replacements, but mentioning it just in case, but the game also seems to be using up every single chit 'bought' (well, acquired as a freebie hehe) as a replacement every turn. Also, rail and river transportation (bought on economic map) are free. (1.11f on clean instal...

It depends on how long the tooltip setting is put for, whether or not you'll see the tooltip ;)

Got to confess I only realised you could do this when someone posted about right-clicking to change financial options about a week after I had the game, or I'd never have known :wacko:

Do you have the game around? The engine automatically archives the turns for you. Think so Pocus. What files do you need? edit: save game folder as .rar. It was the only game in there. Drunk me vs Athena. Athena is winning. http://www.filefactory.com/file/628046/n/1861_April_Campaign0_rar

Is there a possibility of having such a defence as an exceptionally (and I mean exceptionally) rare occurance?

I totally agree with your proposals, just think that it should still be 'possible' if ludicrously unlikely. If that makes sense :)

Hi guys, this event really, really confuses me. So if someone could explain how it works under 1.11d, that would be brilliant.

The benefits of a good moustache and set of sideburns in this period can only be attested to by the memoirs of one Brigadier-General Sir Harry Paget Flashman VC KCB KCIE (5 May 1822 – 1915).
