The problem doesn't appear to be related to automated replacements. Having them on or off doesn't make a difference.

Ubercat

I do. I also had them turned on in my previous games without encountering this situation. That was with the pre-Steam version. I'll try turning them off and see if it makes a difference.

After another multi-month absence, I've taken up the (learning) struggle again in a solo April '61 campaign as the Union. Here's another anomaly I haven't seen before. It's May of '61 and I can't build anything. I have sufficient money, conscripts, and WS to at least build a few things but everythin...

I'm playing a solo practice Union game and it's October '61. McDowell's army provides 16CP and requires 28CP for full efficiency. I add an HQ support to the army stack and it now provides 18CP. No surprise there, but the combat power suddenly drops from 1278 to 1192! Removing the HQ Support unit rai...

Ubercat

That's exactly what happens. I'm not aware of anything else that's being changed simultaneously. Fairfax VA only has the Alexandria garrison and McDowell's army stack. Removing the HQ support creates a 3rd stack. I'll post the .hst, .ord, and Backup 1 and 2 folders. I guess I should do that in the t...

Ubercat

That's what I thought, but I can't imagine what the other factor is. I add the HQ support, down to 1192. I remove it, back up to 1278. It doesn't matter how many times I put it in and take it out, the stack power alternates between those two numbers.

Here's a bizarre situation that just came up. I'm playing a solo practice Union game and it's October '61. McDowell's army provides 16CP and requires 28CP for full efficiency. I add an HQ support to the army stack and it suddenly provides 18CP. No surprise there, but the combat power drops from 1278...

......Not supply trains, transports, the ones the troops arrived on. Thanks for the pretty comprehensive response. :) Are you saying here that the invasion fleet loads up unused shipping capacity with extra supplies for its invasion force? That would be great, and a good reason to send a lot of ext...

Ubercat

Historically the Union sailed up the river and captured the city bypassing the forts and captured New Orleans. The Confederate troops then had to abandon the forts down stream because their lines of supply and been severed. You need to visit Louisiana and the lower Mississippi delta to appreciate t...

Ubercat

So "distant unload" orders for the fleet isn't really sufficient for initiating an amphibious assault and you have to unload by hand to make it work?

Thanks for the tip of using Ctrl+F4. I'll try it to see if there's a siege icon.

Ubercat

I just tried my first amphibious invasion and have questions. Hooker took a decent sized force and invaded Chatham, GA, with the intent to seize Savannah. I carefully put him on assault posture before loading the stack onto the invasion fleet. After landing in Chatham, the force reverted to offensiv...

Ubercat

Thanks! I prefer ToR as I want the 2nd Punic War. It doesn't appear to be available on Steam, though. At least a search isn't turning it up. AJE, and a list of AJE DLC isn't showing it and "Hannibal" only shows Total War: Rome 2. I used my serial to unlock a Steam key for AJE but haven't installed, ...

Ubercat

Do they both cover the 2nd Punic War? Is there much, if any, overlap? In the Slitherine store the BoR description mentions Hannibal by name but the scenario list only covers the 1st Punic War. ToR mentions the 2nd Punic War but the description seems to cover the 2nd Illyrian War. :blink: If there's ...

Ubercat

Are you supposed to gain money when you declare a complete blockade? I haven't yet upgraded to 1.05 and just noticed that I gained $50 while losing some NM and VP.

Ubercat

I bought AJE at least 2 years ago and have the physical disk. Can I use my current version to get a Steam key? The game is installed but I can't find my serial anywhere. Is there a way to get it from running the game? I'd like to grab BoR from the sale and keep my AJE stuff "uniform" if that makes a...

Ubercat

It sounds like trying to have depots in the Far West is a lost cause. How can you get a big enough army out there to sufficiently protect them?

Ubercat

Thanks. In the cases I'm seeing, I don't think that any of the stacks have leaders. They're just the garrisons of important cities. Here's another question. In the case of Baltimore, is it necessary to add Banks to the locked garrison in order to use his recruiter bonus or is he OK just being in the...

Ubercat

How is it that some stacks start a new '61 campaign with a higher entrenchment level than is supposed to be possible at that point? I'm talking about Union cities which contain 2 stacks. One with entrenchment level 3 and the other with level 6. The 6 stacks tend to be called Fort xyz but both stacks...

Certainly the god of the bible detested (on the surface) the enslavement of his chosen people. He had no qualms about the enslavement of anyone else, however, judging by all the rules pertaining to proper slavery in the OT. A slave owner who merely objects to members of his own family being enslaved...

Hegel tells us, History is the story of progress - this was true of the abolitionists to, they learned to take the Bible beyond those mere words of complacency which justified oppression and human suffering to true humanity. Those mere words are what is in the bible. If the book is "God breathed", ...

Ubercat

The abolitionists didn't oppose slavery because of their Christian beliefs, but in spite of it. Crediting it to the god of the bible was, if anything, wishful thinking. There is nothing in the bible against slavery, but plenty of verses that the slave owning class used to justify the institution. Bo...

AntsInMyPants was kind of a jerk in Shadowbane, back in the day. I was camping a certain mob for a particular item drop. The mob only showed up a small handful of times per day. I was waiting for at least a half hour and he came up, invisibly (a thief), and stole the item from the mob while I stood...

Ubercat

That was it! I couldn't figure out why some inactive leaders would lock and other inactive leaders wouldn't.

Thanks!

Ubercat

No. These aren't stacks, or units, that begin or enter a scenario locked. They're forces which became locked from one turn to the next. As an example, A rebel army was guarding Manassas and for some reason abandoned the space to go to HF. Two turns ago I moved the NE VA army under McDowell into Mana...

Ubercat

I don't believe so. I currently have at least 1 general who isn't locked in place that has a darker envelope and text "This general cannot perform offensive operations this turn." He's incapable of going into offensive stance but can still leave his space.

Ubercat

Raising my own thread from the dead rather than starting a new one with the same name. I'm playing the Union in 1.04. I've noticed that some of my generals seem to randomly lock in place just as many generals are at the start of a new scenario. I don't mean that they're simply not activated. They ha...

Ubercat

Thanks again, guys! You've all given me a lot to work from.

This thread is only 2 weeks old so I'd call myself a mere apprentice necromancer. :) I'm finally making a concerted effort to learn this game and my biggest area of strategic ignorance is WTH to do in the Far West as the Union. A few questions. Is it possible for me to recruit a force in Denver larg...

Ubercat

Y'know, it just dawned on me... a possibly sensitive topic (thx, soundoff, s. t. you said in yr post)... just to let the OP know, I'm one who doesn't care about replay that much. I will try not to be flippant about things to which I am relatively indifferent. Thank you. That's interesting. Ageod's ...

Ubercat

Ageod makes fantastic, beautiful games. The turn resolution is the only weak spot, IMHO. I had a lot of trouble in the beginning accepting that I couldn't make any decisions, on the fly, in a 2 week or 1 month resolution period. All orders are given and then must be followed as closely as possible f...
