I have always thought that the Diadochi, in fact the entire Successor States period would make a fantastic game. As mentioned above the somewhat low morale or at leasat commitment of the troops to their leaders would have to be modelled but surely either operational morale or national morale or a mi...

Wow this is an old thread but I also feel that the AGE engine would make a great Peloponnesian, Alexander, Diadochi game. Why not all three in the AJE vein of (admiterdly large)DLC campaigns. The map should include Sicily and Italy and extend east to India and the Punjab. If necessary large area's c...

Cheers Gray, your response times are absolutely amazing its like having a real time expert on constant call, thanks again

I have been looking in the ability files and STRONG MORALE is in the group that aplies to UNITS? Yet in the ACW_Leaders_List on the game disk it is an ability applied to Generals (Leaders). I have seen the SIGNAL ability applied to at least one General (Leader) as well, now that ability lists its AP...

Again, many thanks Gray, getting to be a habit this hey?

1862 Campaign.sct: see Note below Note: Since this is an EVENT, you will have to run the first turn thru the 1862 Late March turn to the 1862 Early April BEFORE you will see the change in the scenario. In other words, you will NOT see a change as soon as you start the scenario even though you alter...

Whats the dif? I have seen a description of Siege Engineer but there is also a Siege Expert in the Aliases.abi files? Clarification please?

I slept on it and woke up thinking "it will come eventually" its a successful title and successful titles are always followed up in the long run.(It makes sound financial sense) Besides I was thinking about it and I have only been playing AACW for a coupla mnths, I sometimes think we wish for round ...

Is there a AACW2 in the pipeline then Gray? If there was I would love to help out with any of the historical research and historicity issues. Not so good with the actual mechanics of software but I am a wiz when it comes to designing ways to simulate historical effects and researching the actual his...

The Law of Diminishing returns is well documented in economic history. In war I would expect that Law Of Diminishing returns to kick in earlier and perhaps more aggresively than it would in peace time. Initially before operation Anaconda gets into full swing the CSA might get a decent level of retu...

P.S. I do think that William Mahone CSA should be given some sort of engineer special ability as he was a highlky innovative and successfull engineer and railroad, road builder. Yee Haa

Grays post clears mup a few things for me, I have found so many inconsistencies in the dates for the appearance of Generals. William Mahoe CSA is a good example he was promoted Brigadier General in November 1861, having already contributed to the bloodless capture of Norfolk Navy Yard. He first led ...

How would I shift the installation of AACW 1.15 that I have been messing about with and create a fresh installation to test with. That wasnt the best of descriptions. I have altered some generals and a few map features, production of war supplies and city size etc. What I want to do is have a clean ...

Great AAR, I bet they are lot of work? Coupla things - in posts 6/7/8 you mention a naval force variously refered to as The Richmond Navy, The Richmond Fleet and The Va Fleet - pls what are these, did you build them? What happened to them once they got out to the Atlantic? Could you elaborate please...

I am no expert on the capabilities of various game engines or anything else for that matter but I have been playing strategy wargames for 25+yrs and I have been a history buff even longer. I have always wanted to play a Peloponnesian Wargame, I read Thucydides contemporary "History of the Peloponnes...

42 and I too progressed from Avalon Hills and Victory Games probably my two favourites were WWII European Theatre of Operations and a lesser known game called Vietnam 1965-1975 by Victory games probably the mostinnovative game I have ever played, the rules were brilliant in places with vpacification...

Sorry, in AACW(1) they don't have any effect on fort building. Interesting idea for AACW2 in the future. Forts played a very important role in the civil war especially in the first half. A perfect example were the twin Forts of Henry and Donnelson built to control the rivers Tennessee and the Cumbe...

Argh again. Look back at my second post Gray. I know that AGEOD is done with the game. I SAID ACW II! Then you go on about how difficult it is to change the tooltips. I really don't understand how a game can be patched but the tooltip aspect is just a little to much. And I do mean that, I simply do...

I have just been browsing and noticed a post by yourself on the 12th of July in reply to a post about the regularity of Foreign Intervention made by BARIS. You posted that Foreign Intervrntion was even more unlikely until one of the events that effects it gets fixed in the v1.16beta, with it current...

I can find files, and I know ZIP and RAR are some kind of file compression protocols but I dont really understand how to use them. In all honesty I am not even sure what type of files u mean? Sorry just a player really

I just activated the CSA Cotton Embargo and I am sure the effects worked the wrong way round. I lost the VP's and NM. As for the penalty in the Foreign Intervention Index it was beyond the supposed range of a negative result but just within the range of the possible positive bonus if as I suspect th...

One advantage I have noticed for KY is the amount of troops you can raise in the state increases with secession. You can raise more brigades in the state. You also get higher loyalty (which usually doesn't do much). If it joins the union, then you get less brigades that you can raise in the state. ...

If you are so inclined to attempt to hold Missouri, then build units there (before you lose all the cities). The issue it timing, nothing like building an artillery in Jefferson City, and watching the Union capture it 1 turn before completion. Remember, you don't control where units you build are c...

Don't feel too bad. This game has a huge learning curve. I probably started over more than a dozen times as I learned new game changing issues. I've also read thru Shelby Foote's Narrative myself (all 3 volumes) 3 times in the last 3 years. Another good read is McPherson's "Battle Cry of Freedom" :...

Nice one, guys. I had a feeling that certain things were being left out, I was well in the red. Thing is I had so much going on and I wasnt sure about delays and such so I couldnt be sure what if anything was being left out - at least now I know, it seems war supplies are perhaps my earliest limitin...

I read the Kentucky campaign thread and it clears up a great deal however I was wonderin what is the advantage of having Kentucky secede if u r playing the CSA or for that matter the Union? Do you get free units like you do when other states secede and I assume the Union recieves from the loyalist S...
