Double Duty for Constantine in 1814

I just looked at the 1814 Battle for France scenario and very quickly saw that Russian General Duke Constantine is used twice in two different formations both in the region of Bern. Duke Constantine is in the Bohemische Armee as well as commanding the Russian III Corps Reserve. Obviously Duke Consta...

1814 Eagle Event Not Working

I tried changing the SelectRegion in the 1813 HistOptions file to Madrid but it didn't help make the military option of Showing Napoleon the Eagles work as I had hoped. Then I checked out the 1814 Battle for France scenario and found that it too has the military option event for showing Napoleon the...

SelectRegion = Why Milano?

In my endeavor to fix the 1813 Show Napoleon the Eagles military option I've been going over both sets of xls spreadsheets that concern the HistOptions file. I've looked over every line of scripting for both files and everything appears the same except for the EvalUnqUnit line where in 1813 it's Nap...

Not the Bug I was Looking For

Well I finally was able to test out my theory about whether the naming of Napoleon was the problem and discovered that it isn't the problem not allowing the military option of showing Napoleon the Eagles to work properly. On the bright side I was gratified that my first attempt to make a modding cor...

Show Me the Eagles 1813

I tried looking at the xls files and other files to see if I could spot and fix the 1813 problem with the military option of Show Napoleon the Eagles. I did test out that I could get that military option to work in the 1815 scenario regardless of whether Napoleon was on a depot or not but there was ...

Two Event Messages

Bohemond, In regards to my last post about the problem with the EnemyinFinland event not showing the proper text I think there are two such events. I did get guerillas in 1808 but the text showed properly telling me I got them. It was late in the game, turn 69, in 1809 where I got guerillas but the ...

1808 Swedish Scenario Event Bug

Bohemond, I found an event problem in the 1808 Swedish-Russian war scenario. On the Swedish side there's an event named "event_nam_EnemyinFinland1809" where the event filename shows up instead of the text. However the event seems to work properly as Swedish guerilla units pop up and clicking on the ...

Weird Battle Commendations

In playing the Swedish-Russian scenario I found that there seems to be something rather screwy about how leaders are congratulated or blamed for wins and losses. I found that winning battles as the Swedes my leaders were getting blamed for suffering a loss while on the flip side the Russian generals...

Change We Can Belive In

Control of where replacements go: So far this has been realistic. In regimental systems commanders have little say in where fresh recruits go as they are raised by the depots for specific regiments. Actually we have an unrealistic advantage right now as we can determine priority and even decide how...

Works Great

Bohemond, I kind of figured that once you knew of the problem with the mixed up guns replacements that making the actual fix wasn't that big a deal. However it's the documentation that's a time killer. :bonk: I tried out your event fix and the Russian guns came in right nicely for the short 1807 Pol...

Replacement Fix

Bohemond, I'll give your 1807 scenario file a play to see if the Russian Guns Replacements military option works properly. I saw the poor Russian AI bought two batches of guns replacements and they just sat there unused. Sad that this obvious booboo was never fixed before. Thanks for paying attentio...

Thanks, that was the issue. Any reason why it is suppose to be this way or it is just a bug? darzininkas, Armies are supposed to be command support formations while corps do the actual fighting. The AGE engine is moving away from allowing armies to fight battles willingly though there are some armi...

These Aren't the Guns We're Looking For

Pocus, I was playing the 1807 short Polish scenario and when I ordered up the Guns Replacements as the Russian player I got French guns instead of Russian ones. Makes that military option useless for the Russian player though I guess I'll have to try to see if they'll be absorbed regardless of the g...

AGE Improvements

The one thing I'd like to see as an AGE engine improvement is to be able to move units from one region to another adjacent region without the program misdirecting my units to another region first just because it's faster to enter that one region. In NCP there was supposed to be a key control that wo...

Mud Ruins 1809 Danube Scenario

I'd have to say my least favorite scenario is the 1809 War on the Danube scenario. Mud ruins what could have been a great scenario. There's just no way that the weather works for this scenario so that players can replicate history. The beginning of the scenario is ruined by mud as it disallows playe...

Static Cannons

Bohemond, That sounds like a good move to take out the movement capability of those fortress cannons since the AI always tries moving them. I still figure the AI will try to stack with them and try to move since I see the AI constantly stack with locked units and then set moves. Not too sure about s...

Changes

Bohemond, Yep one can slice and dice the arty any number of ways to differentiate arty classes. I haven't seen the database to see all the different models but it sure seems like there aren't many 4lb'ers in use. I thought the French cavalry used 4lb'ers a lot as they were easy to move around on the...

Old Geezers

Looks like I'm one of the old geezers at 58. My first real wargame was Avalon Hill's Africa Korps. I also played some wonderful old Milton Bradley games like one on American versus British wooden ships years earlier that used models kind of like Risk. I remember the first wargame I ever saw was an o...

Light Artillery

Bohemond, I'm starting to wonder if your definition of light artillery works for the game. If I recall one of your earlier posts correctly you said something about the cutoff being the 4lb artillery which may be too light. While playing the 1806 long Prussian Campaign scenario you fixed I couldn't h...

Equal Immersion

Bohemond, The events look better on both sides for the 1806-1807 Prussian Campaign. I guess I'm an Equal Immersion kind of guy who thinks that both sides should be fully immersed in the period info provided by those event messages. I'll have to look harder at the light artillery replacement picture ...

Bohemond, I'm not sure if you caught that in the 1812 scenario there's a supply wagon in the Imperial Garde that's labeled "Sapeurs Garde". From the name it's rather obvious the intent was to make it a Sapeurs engineer unit but it got created as a supply unit by mistake. All the other Sapeurs units ...
