Thanks, Pocus. So if I converted some rifled artillery, like 10-pdr Parrotts, to light artillery, and converted Napoleons to medium artillery, would the AI use them very much differently than it does now? Historically Napoleons cost more to produce than Parrott rifles, and I'd like to put the gun ty...

I am working on a mod for CW2 that significantly alters the unit compositions. Specifically, almost all of the units will be anywhere from 1-4 elements in size, and exceedingly few of the units will contain mixed arms. Infantry, cavalry, and artillery each have the own units. Division creation works...

grimjaw

Most definitely I would be interested. If it will help me fix these lingering issues, I'm all for it.

grimjaw

Thanks! This information is indeed useful. Can I ask what log or method you used to find these? I haven't checked all of them, but the few I have looked at represent visual annoyances and dont prevent travel between the regions altogether. Many of the ones on this new list have a region where it loo...

REGION CHANGES (attempts to correct travel between regions) This is an attempt to correct problems with travel between adjacent regions in the game. There are several regions that are adjacent that should allow travel between them, but instead are blocked for no reason apparent to the player. Exampl...

Since I had to do this work anyway, I thought I would post these files for anyone who wants them. These are Excel spreadsheets and the .csv files for use with CSVSplitter. They are updated unit and model databases, built from the most recent database I could find, June 2015's version 1.06, v9t. The ...

I'm asking about this because I am working on a mod that creates additional artillery types. I want to make sure that AI uses the new units in a way that makes sense. Does the AI use artillery under rules defined by the family of the subunit, or does it use artillery according to the STATS of the un...

grimjaw

Thanks. If end up releasing a complete mod, I'd like to include additional artillery pictures. I haven't made a final decision on which ones yet.

20SubUnitExample.png Now testing, the Civil War 2 Twenty Subunits Mod! Why would you need 20 sub-units in a division? Well, it's just like in Game of Thrones. ~WE NEED MORE MEN~ For the vanilla game, this mod is superfluous. I created it because in the main mod I'm working on, I've significantly al...

I have seen it succeed and fail, so I know it works. For a card like that it might have been better for it to almost always succeed but with a variable effectiveness rate.

I have not liked the seniority system for games built on AGE since I found out how it worked. I will not try to hammer out what should have been done, but rather describe problems with the existing system, what I want to model in the game, and my method for achieving it. I will focus on the American...

Bohemond, that does indeed help, thank you very much!

I'm working on a mod for CW2, but I've looked at the other AGEOD game databases to try to find the information I need. I'm still coming up short. From what I can tell, at some point in the engine development process, subtypes for models became linked to another value, which I suspect is the model fa...

Ok, the CRY mod that these posts reference is a hot mess. There are too many dependencies to produce any single part of it w/o knowing what specifically you want. Regions changes? Structure modifications? Leaders? Can you be more specific about what you were interested In?

grimjaw

I have the files I was working on. I dont know if I remember how they were put together. Some of it was work in progress, like the changes to rivers to try to simulate current direction, etc. I worked on end files instead of the databases, which in the case of CW2 makes versioning and distribution p...

RE: more realistic travel times between regions, that's an issue that ought to be addressed separately because it's a big thing to tackle. The way structures are represented in the game means that forts become kind of a thorny problem. Some forts might have been in a town, some outside, some nowhere...

grimjaw

why the fascination with 7-day turns? I can only speak for myself. With the current engine, 7-day turns would require the least amount of work. They are already built into the engine. They can't be made to work with CW2 properly because of design decisions about element composition, certain turn-ba...

There is such a thing as too much realistic modeling when it comes to a game. WRT the suggestion of allowing sub-3stars to command "armies", I'll list a few. Many of these I'm sure you already know. There weren't any 3star generals in the Union army besides Grant. McDowell was a brigadier ...

grimjaw

As far as allowing sub-3stars to command armies, the problem exists throughout the command structure of the game. Promotion is only (or mostly) modeled based on battlefield success and not attrition. For example. Bragg got army command for 2 reasons: Johnston's death & Beauregatd being sick/AWOL...

allow the player to recruit by regiment rather than brigade I am already doing this in a mod. There are a few issues with it. Assume you don't alter anything except the units you can recruit.

Yip. Not what you are talking about? I'm sorry, is that a yes or a no? I'll assume you're talking about what I referred to, "land constr. capa." or "naval constr. capa." Orso listed an explanation in this post: http://www.ageod-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=368&t=43737&hilit...

grimjaw

OK, help me out here. Where are you seeing the term "construction capability"? Are you referring to the text in-game that shows up when you hover over specific structures? Like when you hover over a structure and see "land constr. capa." and a number?

grimjaw

Yes, two non-upgraded militia units can be merged into a 2-element militia brigade. It has to do with the unit definition, which I won't go into unless somebody's interested. Once they are merged, they can't be split through a user action. However, if one of the elements is destroyed completely (com...

Forgive me my English Your English is much better than my Russian. Below I've pasted some settings from CW2 that deal with experience. As I mentioned before, most if not all of the models in CW2 described as "conscript" also have a TrainUpg value specified. There's a 7% chance per turn fo...

grimjaw

As far as I know, infantry models that have the description "conscript" also have an ability to upgrade to "regular" infantry. But both of those are just words. "Conscript" and "regular" in the terms of the game are just descriptions. The only real difference ...
