One thing to watch is to make sure you always leave enough conscripts unspent for your maintenance or you will take more hits. Expenditure comes before income so you must keep stock in hand to cover it. Thanks, this explains why I got more hits instead of fewer. And loki, about mobilisation and dis...

vonduus

Well, it shows that my expectations were wrong. I should have hoarded more replacements. Anyhow, the game suddenly gave me a new decree: Partial mobilization (or something). So now I decree partial mobilization every turn and spend all my manpower on replacements, so that I can avoid disbanding stuf...

Is there a way to get more replacements? Playing as France, I saved what I thought was a quite lot of reserves in the replacement pool (10-15 in each category), but then around 1852 my scientists discovered a lot of upgrades - new weapons, armor for ships etc. The next turn a few units upgraded, and...

This is such a great read! Thank you loki100, for teaching me to play this game. I read this AAR back when it was situated on the Paradox website, at that time it made the difference that enabled me to actually play this game. And now, when rereading it, I begin to understand quite a lot more of tho...

Thanks, SonOfAGhost, that explains it. It is 1883 now.

I have conquered Oranje and the South African Republic (Transvaal). They have no troops left, I have occupied all their provinces, and have full military control, but it seems there is nothing more I can do. In Oranje I managed to get a protectorate, it is still tagged as an Oranje national region, ...

Update:

11 years later I upgraded Windhoek (the colonial capital) from protectorate to full colony, and this finally made the German presence in Angra disappear.

Aha.... I see! I'll wait, then. You really got to be patient in this game. Sometimes I get worried, believing that I am missing out on something obvious

I have now got some Vaccination Campaign Cards. But it seems I cannot play them anywhere. The tool tip says: "The decision Vaccination Campaign is not valid. The structure that is triggered by it would not be valid in this region". No matter where I try to use it, be it at home, in my Dominions, in ...

Okay, thanks. I saw there is also a mod with lots of new leaders.

The consulate in Qatar and the protectorate status was gifted by special event. But I never got military control, at all. Anyway, I have decided this is a bug, so I wrote the following script: SelectFaction = $CMN SelectRegion = $Penang StartEvent = Fixing buildings in Penang and Qatar|1|1|Null|NULL...

The manual says: "You will be provided additional leaders based on historical patterns and any current shortage of leaders..." What does "current shortage" mean? Subjectively I feel I have a very strong current shortage of leaders ;) . The supply of army generals is quite adequate for my needs, (I c...

Hi SonOfADhost, I play as GB, the year is 1865: Penang: Great Britain protectorate MC: GB 100% loyalty: GB 10%, Johore 90% CP: GB 33%, Netherlands 20% SOI: GB 6, Netherlands -5 Buildings: GB: tradepost, mission, railroad (functioning) Netherlands: Coaling station, town Note: Only problem is I cannot...

Ah, Pocus, you break my heart. Many of us accept the turn processing time, because the rest of the game is so grand and beyond compare, and would love to see the kind of improvements that have been discussed on this forum, and more scenarios. We would happily pay to get them. Please consider this, ...

Update: In the disputed province in Johore I built a railroad, and this is fully functioning as far as I can tell (I get a travel time reduction). The Dutch coaling station still prevents me from building depots, but this is no problem, as I just send in some supply wagons by railroad. The disputed ...

vonduus

Thanks for the quick answer. Gonna wait, then. This food chain business is quite challenging, the fact that you can only turn on/off all preserved foods production makes it very difficult to figure out how to balance things, imho. Basically I am running a few turns with everything on, gaining preser...

vonduus

Thanks for the quick answer, I am glad that it can be solved eventually. And now that I have got your attention: Thank you very, very much for a very, very well thought out game. I haven't had so much fun in ages. There may be a few things that I am perhaps not so happy about, but I will report on t...

vonduus

My food production has gone crazy, I produce way too much preserved food, and I cannot get it sold. Instead I convert it into goods, but now I can build no more canned goods factories, seems I have built the amount I am allowed to. I know I can shut down production facilities and try to balance thin...

The indians of Northwest Canada does not like me. They have been in continuous revolt for several years now. I have played all available colony cards, schools and stuff, but that was very few actually , due to the fact that Canada is already a colony. Right now I am dealing with the problem by havin...

I don't really need this province, but it is right on the border, and the Dutch coaling station prevents me from building a depot. Some progress has been made, though, the province is no longer Dutch controlled, but British, so now I can build a railroad. And when I got that, I don't need the depot....

vonduus

This is the situation: Johore attacked me in Singapore, but I had an idle army in India, so a few months later all of Johore was British. Except for this one tiny province with a Dutch coaling station. Colony status is: Netherlands influenced territory. I have been playing all available colony cards...

saberrider, I read the first few posts of the aar's on italy, (there are two good ones here on this forum), then played my own games trying to replicate what I had just read. Then I read it again, played some more, learned some more. Hint: Try to concentrate on learning some specific stuff, like eco...

Can I get rid of inflation, or reduce it? My treasure has gone to zero a couple of times.

Also, in F4 there is a loans summary. How do I get a loan? I'd rather pay interest than have inflation.

vonduus

Okay, I read the manual again, I think I got it now. It is a lot more simple than I thought. I think the RoP system is better, but okay I don't really know what I am talking about. Anyway: If I want an army, I stack a 3-star general with units worth 48 command points. Likewise with corps: 2-star plu...

Okay, next question: I am trying to assemble a division, but the tool tip tells me: "You can't enable division command for this leader, all of your 0 divisions are on the field". ???!? I have lots of conscripts, I have lots of reserves in the reserve pool, and I have lots of both free troops in the ...

FYI, and for others who are reading this: I found what seems to be a comprehensive guide to leadership here:

Dummy post to reach the magic number 5. The manual I am referring to in the next post seems to cover everything except merged units - there is no explanation of the "+"-button anywhere. Too bad, as this is exactly the point that gets me confused. I'll have to use trial and error. But apart from that...

Thanks loki, I already read the first few chapters of your aar, it taught me a lot of how to organize my economy :) . I'll read the chapters about warfare now. FYI, and for others who are reading this: I found what seems to be a comprehensive guide to leadership here: (Not allowed to post url) It is...

Thanks loki. It is quite confusing the way information is spread out between the paradox server and the ageod server, I wish someone at ageod would do a copypasta of everything. And i mean EVERYTHING, especially as it seems this game is a very niche game, meaning that if the information on the parad...

Thanks for the answer. Now I have a follow-up question, somewhat related: How do I properly load my troops on board a fleet? Until now I have just dragged the army tab onto the fleet tab, this works alright for transportation, but the army stack looses its name in the process. A simple example: I ta...
