Tweaking events, leaders, etc., are still happening. It is difficult to get every little loose end tied up, with such a small team at hand. For one, just the leader file itself, with 3000+ historic individuals had to be all researched, added, edited, then to make sure that every era had enough lead...

Report on the ACW

In my current game it is Late November 1867 and no event fired to free the slaves, even though the Union won the ACW. During the entire war 5 leaders emerged for the Union, and 2 of them should not have been Union. Those leaders were: A.S Johnston, but he died 2 turns from disease after emerging, so...

Traitor or not, Lee had some talents as a general, just as Arnold does. Lee might need a value which does not allow him to work with Washington, but maybe he is a bit better than the values he has in the game. I am not defending his actions, just saying, in the game it would be interesting if he po...

One lovely thing about all of the AGEOD games is they provide historical parameters, but not deterministic controls. I pretty much agree with the designers that the French would intervene no matter what. This was such a great opportunity to humiliate the British, even if the Americans were not such...

Two separate issues: NM should be responsive to loss of strategic cities. I have never seen a situation when you take a city you do not gain, and the opponent lose, NM. Perhaps in some instances you do not actually gain control. You have to have a 'regular' unit to control the city. To check this, ...

From my point of view as more nations become active they require more time for the game to plot their moves. Heck, the last time I played Scotland, yes that Scotland :D , took a solid 45 seconds for the game to plot its move. So, if you get a time like that, more or less, by every nation in the game...

But you didn't "buy" from them; you downloaded a FREE give-away. Not quite the same thing. :neener: Also, you downloaded it from Gamersgate, not Paradox, so presumably it should be Gamersgate you contact for a proper serial number. They're two separate companies. And finally, did you notice that Ga...

You should have a folder called Config Utility in your start menu WIA file on your main menu. It is two tabs, display and serial. Click on the serial tab. Put your serial number on this screen. See if this works. The config utility does not open, when I try to start the app, nothing occurs. I have ...

I dl'ed the free WiA game in the Paradox newsletter, from Gamersgate, and installed the game, but now everytime I start it I get the message that my serial number is too short, and to input it again. The fly in the ointment, though, is that there is no place to enter the serial number. Then add to t...

Stelteck, I had the same problem. Was never able to get Oki from the Ryukyuans.

I noticed a WS 250 in the line to get Oki from them, so I am assuming that is the WarScore you need to demand, and get that item. Now how you raise warscore I have no idea. :confused:

The problem stems from the fact the US can build only 1 more merchant fleet. There is exactly 1 left in the pool, so the US cannot ever complete that Mission. :( I have had the mission fail due to the fact I could not build any extra merchant fleets. They need to raise the number of merchant fleets ...
