It´s up and running again, with all the mods i had installed and the PBEM war is going on with full force Don´t know what happened really, maybe the war department needed a break
This what I would do. Install the retail version in a different folder to where it was, avoiding "program files" folder. Try running the retail game, normally, if still not working, as administrator. I guess there should be a log now. Hmm, i installed the retail version of the game in my ...
No idea of steam. With two versions, you mean you bought from Ageod/Matrix and then got a steam key? From where are you trying to start the retail game? Go directly to the installation folder and run CW2.exe Post the log file. I mean that i have both the Retail version from which you can download t...
Since a couple of days ago i can´t start CW2, neither the Steam version or Retail version will start. The only thing that happens is that i get this screen. And i who has a good PBEM going on and everything and now i can´t even play the game. If i remember correctly this error popped up after i used...
I think we could incorporate stats in this thread aswell. I start with one, the swedish general Carl Gustaf Armfeldt should be an 3-2-3 in my opinion. As he had great military experience from wars abroad as h e joined the french army for twelve years he was a great defender against the Russians duri...
The Swedes were over extended under Charles XII, fighting for too long on too many fronts. Their quality edge was hard to maintain in long wars. Yes Sweden was overextend because there didn´t exist enough manpower to defend the whole Empire. But we must also keep in mind that Charles was a great ta...
Hi! In my current pbem game i was building up a rather big force in Richmond, VA. I'am playing the CSA. But in one turn i got this message which i have NEVER seen before. Notice that the units where INSIDE Richmond not outside. Is it a bug or can this thing happen in cities (Big cities) also? Becaus...
Funny reading all this about "nerf" the Swedes, "They are too strong" etc etc. What do you expect? Sweden had one of the most/if not the most well drilled army in Europe at this time period. The system Charles XI created during his reign was a system that many other countries cop...
Good ideas in this thread but I wouldn't give a trait which would give attrition to Karl. Instead I would give him the old corrupt trait but with a new flavor text. Good point indeed. Now we have to see if this particular trait can be made area-restricted...if not we would make it general and Karl ...
It's probably from the Sound toll (Öresund Toll) Denmark earned a lot in taxes in several centuries controlling the the small sound strait passage for ships entering in and out from the Baltic Sea
His name is Johan Banér, full name is Johan Gustafsson Banér. He hailed from the ancient noble family Banér :dada: Don't want to step on anyone's toe's but if his name is "Banner" in the game, then it's totally wrong. I own TYW but i haven't played so long yet when Sweden enters the war. I...
At Gettysburg, Hood was wounded while leading his division from an exploding shell, and Evander M. Law assumed command of his division. Is he in Longstreet's Corps perhaps? I think that's the reason Hood isn't in this scenario. ¨ Yes Hood got wounded losing his arm at Gettysburg while trying to tak...
In my very first PBEM game my opponent landed upon Memphis and bypassed all the forts on the Mississippi with Grant and the force was the same size as the entrenched force there = complete destruction for him. He wanted to quit and I talked him into continuing and he did the same move pretty much a...
Never tought that it would emerge in to this massive discussion. But im reading and taking in the information everybody's saying. And there really seems to exists really different opinions about the balance of the game. Of course a game can't be and never will be 100% balanced how hard we and the de...
Kinda figured that it had started. But thanks for confirming it to me, i was kind off walking in the dark haha. Yeah i know, i have had the privileges to be part in the beta testing of some of the recent release by AGEOD :) I was just kinda wondering, thinking of the time and all. And especially sin...
I'am much aware of the superiority of the Union contra CSA when it comes to resources. But it´s the Generals that im concerned about. Sure the Confederates have good Generals in the '61 start. But as the game progresses the Union gets ridiculously amount of Generals with traits to train Millita/Cons...
I'm playing Europa Universalis: Rome. I was assuming this program should be the "Punic War" Game you sought here. It's not true: Europa Universalis: Rome goes not very far away from Europa Universalis III.......imagine this last one dressing a Roman Tunic. Guess there's space for an AGEOD...
Hi! In my personal opinion this game is still to unbalanced for the CSA in favor for the Union. The Union gets awesome generals with great stats, and traits. I mean CSA get Samuel Cooper for instance to train militia or whatever up to Infantry, while the Union gets like 3-4 Generals with the trait, ...
I was just wondering if the beta testing for this game has started already? Because i applied but i haven´t heard anything or gotten any mail or something like that.
So i take that as i wasn´t the ideal applicant, or that the beta testing hasn´t started yet?
How come when i try to register for the beta the Matrix site won´t let me apply, asking me for the password, though i write in the right password it refuses to accept it. Think it was a similar problem for me and other players with the title Thirty Years War.
Thanks for the tips on how to keep him. I think i will have him in Richmond at least to 66 i think. To have a little historian "authicity" :P But how is it with the traits and such? Because their is commanders i would like to add that aren´t in the game. And before all there is a bunch of ...
Trying posting in this part of the forum as well. I know i read somewhere here on the forum on how to modify leaders for both the USA and CSA even how to add leaders. I Would like to knoe how to do that and if it is hard to do Let´s say i want Samuel Cooper to stay in Richmond but not as a field com...
I know i read somewhere here on the forum on how to modify the leaders. Let´s say i want Samuel Cooper to stay in Richmond but not as a field commander but as a "Training HQ" And same with Braxton, William Halleck so on so on. Anyone wanna help a noob on this subject? It´s for the Confeder...
Wouldn´t call the Caesar vs Pompey scenario boring. Perhaps if you play against the AI, but over PBEM and with a player who knows what he is doing that scenario can evolve in a interesting direction. People often complain that it is unbalanced and i can agree to a certain point. But if you are Pompe...
Love playing this scenario as it offers so many strategies and options for the player. And i love to have multiple factions on the map than just standing fighting against one ex. Parthia. But isn´t the scenario a bit short? 25 turns to manage your corner of the Roman Empire, with all the rebellions ...
