Nice read. Thanks. The "tacticization of strategy" is something that every field of operation suffers from. No matter if civil or military. Too many short minded and self interested out there. And then societies, enterprises, armies run into desaster, because we don't train our administrat...
Afaik construction capability affects buildtime. Where cities have land capability and harbors and such have naval capability. This should effect mostly large units like big brigades, cannons and ships. Just order a few timberclads along the Ohio and you will see that days-to-build differs quite wel...
Just making sure. With Wordpad you must doublecheck that you save it as plaintext, because when you save with formatting information in it it won't work.
The way wine treats transparency seems to be incompatible with the way it is implemented in PON. Other then that it kinda works, wich is better than it used to be where it outright crashed on animations.
Repairing rail takes a certain amount of days, afaik, not a turn. So getting the job done and still have enough days left to enter another region might well make a difference.
Just because you bring more men into the region, it doesn't mean you get to deploy more men onto the front line. In open terrain, the commander with the higher strategic rating gets to have an advantage in that department. Also the commanders attached with units factor in their offensive/defensive s...
Ageod games reflect real life in that the leading nations either want a stable situation so that the trailing nations stay trailing. That's VP wise, but also politically and economically. Napoleon tried to achieve that in Tilsit, Metternich at the "Wiener Kongress" (Pun intended). Or they ...
Why determine that at all? Go with the offers. Same applies to all other nations, too. Due to game mechanics only Austria is a bit at a loss in the backstabbing department. If France wants to win by sudden death however, it will most likely need to take down Russia, as taking London will be out of r...
Can't speak of the numbers, but gaining warscore is a slow process overall. Gaining provinces is, too. You need to have a claim or high loyalty, afaik. You might be seeing an eternal war with S-P. Still after having all provinces inherited you might get scripted events fire, because the nation still...
I would recommend starting as US, France or Sardinia Piemont. US is simple to start with in the first 10 game years, France is stable and has almost all options to play with while not overwhelming and S-P is a major country that is overseeable and comes with a strong potential ally (France). Like ev...
