Its progressing in the sense that I have tried to look at the other thread and see what trends people are having problems with. However, with no community input, this will turn into a project with myself as the only source of change and feedback on that change. I don't have the time to test the whol...

It may seem like that, but if you do these things back to back, the second time you do it, the results will be less due to a reduction in the morale and victory points associated with conscripting and raising bonds the turn prior. It has its tradeoffs.

So blockade percentages also has an effect on blockade runners as well? A bit harsh I think = they should be independent of that regardless. After all they are already penalised in sinkage chance (more Union ships in the box, greater chance to sink). At least if they carries 1 per tranport unit reg...

It's probably because english is not my native tongue (or because I am becoming dumb... :bonk: ) but I do not understand exactly how we should change this 500 number (number of sides of the dice) to get more leader casualties - more or less than 500 ? what do you use, stonewall ? Less. I think the ...

Stonewall

Luckily, this is something you can mod yourself. In the combat.opt file, the one that contains the turns per battle and hit coefficients, the last line (don't know the name of it off the top of my head, but its the one with a value of 500) determines the rate of leader casualties. Just change it.

?, so this means for a 2 brig unit - you'll get 2 war supplies a turn when you are in the blockade box? So this means when they do 6 succesfull runs, the investment has been payed back. Each brig has a transport capacity of 1. That means that it can hold 1 money or 1 war supply each successful bloc...

Stonewall

You definitely get results. I rarely invest somewhere and get no resutls. Its just that the results you get aren't necessarily war supplies.

I would reccomend a reinstall along with a patch to 1.05c. I've had no problems with the new division rule. Something got messes up with your install of one of the files in your game.

Do you mod your files at all?

Stonewall

First divisions become available on the May 1, 1861 turn. There are 6 of them, IIRC.

As the south, industrial investment should be hard, difficult, and expensive. The South was not industrialized and had no real potential to industrialize during the war. The Confederate government was perpetually lacking in funds and relied on local works for their manufactured goods. The south lack...

I think there is not a strong enough correlation between blockading ships/captured southern ports and the capture/sink percentage. In 1861 and 1862, barely 10% of blockade runners were captured/sank making their runs. This meant that an average blockade runner was able to make 5-6 sorties to and fro...

Checked the game DB, the connection is rightly there, no problem on that matter. Does your problem repeats itself on multiple games ? If so, it's an rngine bug, and we shall need your saves... :tournepas Its been there in every game I've ever played under every patch. :D I'll zip off a save game wi...

Sorry. I meant to say Canton, MS. Its the province to the NE with the direct rail connection.

Hmmm. I wondered if I could simply copy the "generic" face graphic and rename it to "HQDiv1" as appropriate for each army (backing up the originals, of course). Well, I tried it and it worked! Since the HQ Division doesn't exist in the game as a unit anymore, nothing is lost by copying the generic ...

Stonewall

Its definitely moddable. Easy, yes. Tedious, even more yes. All you have to do is open the model file for each leader and change the line that says "Portrait = Unit_USA_HQDiv1.png" or "Portrait = Unit_CSA_HQDiv1.png" to "Portrait = Unit_USA_generic.png" or "Portrait = Unit_CSA_generic.png" respectiv...

Typically, Confederate cavalry raiders DID supply themselves from captured stores in towns that they raided. This is not ahistoric at all. Also, when those raiders leave the town, it should revert to Union control in a few turns anyway as the loyal population takes it back.

Stonewall

Only one bonus per stack. 1 medical unit is just as good as 25.

I've noticed the ai doing some things that help explain some of its shortcomings. Here are some observations and suggestions. (1) I've noticed that the ai, even when in large stacks with tons of combat units, is continually suffering from low combat value. In an attempt to figure this out, I've seen...

Stonewall

Usually, the only time I ever saw unit info in red is when there is a supply issue. Did Jackson revently move? If so, what were his supplies like the previous turn?

I'm pretty sure someone here told me a few months ago with regard to BoA. Either you, PhilTib, or Primaspirit.

Stonewall

The name of the unit has a silver bar through it denoting a division. Or are you talking about on the little box on the map?

Stonewall

I think what he's describing is the ai using a stack of 2 generals with no military units as "recon" units. I'm seeing this as well at times.

Stonewall

OK, CLovis, are you saying the war supplies cost? Will they get paid automatically as long as the stuff is there?? Nuther question. This turn I broke down a division to attach more brigades to the division. Is this not allowed?? Forget that it may not be smart! :D Question 1: As soon as the cost os...

To create a moddir, follow the following steps: (1) Go into your main AACW directory. In this directory there should be a couple of folders (ACW, Documents) and files, including the AACW.exe file. (2) Create a new file using notepad entitled "moddir.ini". (3) Open the moddir.ini folder and type in t...

I've done a lot of modding of leaders. Make sure that when you add new models and units that you update the uni_alias.ini and mdl_alias.ini files with the correct UID and names.

Stonewall

If you want to make a leader promotable you need to add an upgrade line (see the files of leaders who are ordinarily promotable to see what this looks like) to the old leader, create a new model with the next sequential UID # as well as creating a new unit file that takes into account the new leader...

Stonewall

Better yet. Reduce the number of combat rounds from 6 to 4. Works wonders. :) Addressing your basic point, however, I think you're misinterpretting the results a little bit. Johnston's Shenandoah force starts off the game an an understrength division's worth of forces. If you immediately create a di...

Stonewall

I agree with Aragos. The militia, as is, works just fine. I don't view it as gamey or an exploit at all. Especially as the ai also benefits from it.

Stonewall

Breckinridge is another leader who is removed via event.

Nope. Dan Ruggles and William Whiting were Confederate generals.
