Why is Foreign Intervention so low? Have rolls gone consistently against you?

Also, with shorter turns is FI change due to NM and VP twice faster?

pesec

I agree too. It is ridiculous to be able to control when peace is signed, what factory to build, what division goes where, but not to be able to control decision to sell Alaska. If one is playing Russia that won Crimean War with flying colours and has a good economy, selling Alaska makes no sense. K...

You have merchant ships in Baltic Sea trade box (not in the port) that allows you to trade with regions bordering the Baltic sea. Since you border nations in that region anyway, they serve little purpose there. Move them to a trade box that borders regions that you want to trade in.

pesec

Merchant fleets allow you to trade with regions bordering the trade zone they are in. From my experience, having merchant ships in Baltic and Black seas is pointless. Move some ships to Caribbean to get coffee and fruits (your enormous population will buy them, returning the cost of purchase with th...

As far as I know, ammunition is only an issue when there is a shortage of it. In you have lots of artillery that participates in lots of battles, you will start burning through it. If you burn at much faster rate than you can replace stocks, consequences can be disastrous (think Russia in 1915). Oth...

That's what I thought. But I don't have enough steel to build any. So, put out all sorts of buy orders; spent about 3 times as much as I exported--OOPS! It is totally fine to import more than you export as long domestic sales cover the difference. Huge population means huge domestic market, which i...

Build railroads in all industrial centres (you can worry about connecting them later). Get your own machine parts and manufactured goods production running. Invest in mussle-loaded rifles when you can - those will come handy during Crimean war.

Well, that seem... wastefull. All those complex screens look like they will give you historical feeling. France had how much, 3 wars to speak of? So everything goes straight to Total War style? That's sad. No, there are few wars, which means that it is a wargame for only a small portion of the time...

It is a wargame when there is a war (and a few turns immediately before the war putting everyone in their place). Most of the time, you are managing economical and social aspects of your nation.

I am wondering about this:

ctlAllowRetreat = 0 // Minimum control to have in a region to allow a retreat into it

If we change it to something like 5, does it mean that enemy has to stand and fight if they have no military control in any adjacent region?

Stalemate is a victory for CSA

pesec

I had same results and in my experience it is all due to fortress artillery. It can annihilate enemy so bad it is not even funny. Check the battle results: your infantry did not land too many hits and would certainly get wiped out, but fortress artillery (NOT regular) landed a ridiculous amount of h...

Import subsidies for coal, steel and goods decrease inflation. After enacted, decision will regenerate after some time and can be enacted again.

As for effects of inflation, I haven't had it yet. Does it make everything more expensive to produce?

pesec

Playing Prussia in the early '50s my inflation soars! 21% in 1853. Every once in a while I get messages like the one attached. What does it mean, how does it work, and what can I do to prevent / redress this? It means you ran out of private capital before expenses for production were paid. To still...

Unless you are Russia, France or USA, there is little you can do. If you are, you can get enough prestige to deny Britain its victory.

Is there a way to edit Britain's prestige in a save game? If so, you can just drop it by 10000 points and keep playing.

Try re-reading my post in regards to the "pre-plotted" moves. :blink: . Ah, I thought you referred to AI plotting moves at the same time as player is making his (like in WWI: La Grande Guerre). I disabled that option since looking through nation while AI is thinking can be hard since game will not ...

The way I see it is: - If the game is available outside Steam, get it outside Steam. Especially old games - some Steam offers are plain broken (Jagged Alliance 2 for example). - If game requires Steam, it is a pretty safe bet. If Steam goes down, companies will probably release "Steam-free" patches ...

pesec

You can simplify it a little already by unchecking the "AI more time" button in the options. As for the rest, this is a WEGO design meaning that once the AI has plotted the moves for all the AI factions, it takes the human player pre-plotted moves and "syncs" them day by day for all 15 days of the ...

OR install both versions (Yes, you can install the game multiple times using different installation folder names), then move the save game files back and forth between the 2 correctly patched versions since you have demonstrated that they are compatible. :) . That is a great idea! Play 1.01g, when ...

pesec

Absolutely NOT the recommended way of reverting back. You have no idea of what v1.01g file might have been left that could cause problems later during your game play. The "f" patch specifically gets rid of previous older version files but does not know about "g" patch files and I'm not referring to...

pesec

Is the "Directx to Main invalid call (Burst Mode)" one of these confirmed crashes, or do you need a save game that is repeatable? I think I had that when I had the 1.01g siege crash. Did it happen this way: - You end the thurn. - AI does its thinking - Immediately after that you are kicked to the m...

Anyway, without randomized stats, a good Corp commander under Grant's Army could have these values. ;) I had Longstreet with defensive rating of 10 under Lee :D Heh, should I add your name to my "dance card?" I'll try low random this weekend and see how it looks. In my games with high random, I ten...

Why do you even need both of them in a force? Jackson alone (in a corps) provides 8 CPs and divisional commanders each provide enough to support their division.

pesec

I suggest moving Capital. I doubt Washington can hold long: it already looks breached and it does not have a fort. Confederates can probably storm it with 1:1 odds as long as their forces are at full cohesion. So, either relieve Washington fast or look at action elsewhere. Attacking piecemeal sounds...

Why not send everything from Fredericksburg to Alexandria? Right now, DC is by far the most important location in this war. Control of the province of Alexandria (not necessarially city itself) would cut off Jackson's and Longstreet's supply, promtring them to either prematurely launch an assault on...

pesec

FI is getting dangerously high. I have never seen it so high in 61. Did every roll go against you? 1 unlucky roll (on either side) can send Britain into the war. If there is a battle around richmond, don't you risk unlocking Lee? Lee + Jackson + Longstreet + CSA numbers (relative to Union) in 62 + u...

To all: please correct me if I am wrong. Since the contents of a front line unit's Supply Wagon decreased, it was made to move to New York which has supply goods in large numbers. However, contents are left with Supply Wagon not filled up with. If it does what, please tell Supply Wagon whether goods...

Wow! Sorry if that makes me too much of a nerd, but I can't help but notice that ages form a good normal distribution
