I was playing Belgium but I don't particularly like not being able to carry out the higher level colonial actions. Like colonial buildings and military outposts etc... I really like to play as a country that isn't all-powerful at first and then be able to build myself up to become all-powerful. I su...

HidekiTojo

Playing as Belgium don't I need to be able to up my projection level in order to be able to build the colonial buildings and actually claim colonies right? Atm in the beginning all I can do is the basic stuff I cannot actually get the protectorate decision for example. How do I get that decision? If...

I'm really having a hard time with France and Russia their nw up I until last turn was 8. I have no idea how to stem the onslaught and reclaim some territory specifically western front which is of cours my biggest concern and where I really need help

HidekiTojo

I just got this game and I play it in 1024x768 i think thats the setting.

I downloaded the latest one on the 3rd page and used jgsme and when I get to a few turns in the game crashes before the month of august is over.

can you guys help??

bc this mod was SO helpful

HidekiTojo

I have gotten through the tutorials and combined with my intrinsic knowledge of other Ageod games I'm pretty sure I have a good grasp on things, good enough to start playing now. Can you guys give me a recommendation on a good place to start the campaign? There's a bunch of options obviously I have ...

HidekiTojo

I appreciate it, its not appreciated when I make a post like that and someone puts in a negative reply. After reading into the big manual I have decided that I will put in the time and I am very excited to play this game. Its extremely deep and while I certainly do find the gui a jarring change it's...

HidekiTojo

The interface is so different from other Ageod games....very jarring which really puts me off when I play RUS or CWII and then try this out. I have family who fought in The Great War on both sides so it's a topic I already am invested in and also I am an aspiring P.h.D. lol not to mention that a cou...

HidekiTojo

Haha, I had the same problem. I'm fairly competent in geography in general, but the mass that is Russia is a tough bird to tackle. The Siberian Whites need to try to concentrate along the Volga. Kazan, Ufa, and Samara are probably priority number 1 after you clean up the rear area insurrectionaries...

HidekiTojo

What I need is advice on strategy. After getting quite a lot of time in with civil war II I'm pretty competent now. My problem is that i never read that one book I have on this topic. Now history is one thing but what's really a setback is my almost complete lack of knowledge about Russian geography...

Not Green Bay for you (American) football fans out there. I greet you as a newcomer to the forum. It was back in ancient times, perhaps two years ago, that I originally created my forum account. Even though it was Birth of America that holds the distinction of being my first Ageod title I played, AA...

I used to live in Frederick, decades ago. Didn't get to the battlefield (had been to Gettysburg many times) at Antietam Creek until ten years ago. "Boonies?" - I can be in Sharpsburg in 90 minutes from the Beltway, I would say. Then again, I'm a country boy at heart. An interesting drive is from Ha...

In-game, secession actually helps the Union more than the Confederates, because a neutral KY provides a perfect shield. Supposedly, if KY does not secceed, then it should flip to the Union around Mar-Apr 1862 (IIRC, starting in March a 50% chance each turn) In reality, there is no earthly way Kentu...

HidekiTojo

Playing as Union as soon as I can put divisions together the vast and overwhelming majority of generals (who are 3-1-1) turn into 1-0-0 when i click the enable divisional command?!

So uh....yea what gives?

HidekiTojo

I don't get it at all, half the time when the Camp Dick Robinson event fires then KY secedes instantly, so that I can't do anything at all since all this happens during the turn processing!! :cursing: :mad: :8o: I'm very well versed in Civil War history, heck I am probably going to take that for my ...

HidekiTojo

Oh and starting the campaign from later in the war is extremely unappealing for me, I am one of those guys who likes to build the whole war machine up himself not take over one that someone else already did. So that's the main reason why I play the Civil War scenario. Only thing is that the handicap...

HidekiTojo

The orthodox approach, mostly as the Union. Hopeless troglodytes, like me. I doubt you're a troglodyte, im thinking neanderthal :p I was hoping you'd tell me what exactly the orthodox approach happens to be bc I have read quite a lot but i do not know what exactly qualifies as the basic orthodox st...

HidekiTojo

Ignore the west. Blow up every depot that you don't absolutely need east of Pennsylvania. Hold a line of port cities on the Missouri and Ohio rivers from St. Louis to Pittsburg. Garrison the cities with an entrenched Division each. Let your cavalry run down any partisans. Your riverine fleet should...

HidekiTojo

My second campaign ever back when this game was not as old, I was able to take Beauregard's army and go right around the entire Union army and capture Washington in less than ten turns

HidekiTojo

oh and not to mention that it seems like none of the battles that I fight affect National Morale.....

Wins or Losses: zero affect on NM

occasionally I lose NM, but I never gain it.

HidekiTojo

I appreciate the reply to the divisional composition ArmChairGeneral. Now I would really be interested in the various strategies for defeating the South for the scenario that covers the whole war. Just follow the historical strategy? I'm studying to be a P.h.D. (couple years down the line anyway) an...

HidekiTojo

I've been trying some other scenarios, I managed to lose "I can make Georgia Howl" by 9 VP..... :non: I can't believe I did, one more turn and I would have had Atlanta. It's SO frustrating that everytime I turn around there's units infiltrating behind my lines. I can't move forward bc then my guys g...

HidekiTojo

Hey all, When I introduced myself I mentioned that I've been playing this game for a long time, yet I've never progressed beyond understanding the mechanics. It's kind of like the game is a machine, and I know how the different parts work but not really how to fit everything together to use it prope...

Part time lurker with a lifelong obsession with the Civil War here, I've posted a bit before...but this is my true introduction to the forum. The fact that someone's making games at a grand strategy level for these conflicts is AMAZING. Ahem. I've been sinking countless hours into ACWI since I was a...

Is there any way I can mod the game so that I can get a one month turn?

failing in that I would like to somehow increase turn processing speed.

HidekiTojo

also I would like to know how to stop what I call the British explosion, when the large British army splits into a million components and takes military control of the entire region that its in. This is losing me the war everytime and I have no idea how to defend against it, and also the thing about...

why is my continental army going red into 1777? It hasnt fought any battles but all my armies are going yellow and red and I have no idea how to stop it as Americans

HidekiTojo

Im having some trouble with my USA strategy, usually the Continental Army falls apart after the British conquer the countryside. I was thinking that after reading a BOA one AAR I would send some units to garrison strategic cities. I know that's probably a no brainer now that I think about it. I was ...

I keep getting slaughtered in this scenario, I am kinda new to AJE but I have a good idea of AGEOD games so I can put together a strategy. I guess I am really still used to AACW. Way back when I was a kid I read this historical novel written from the point of view of Pharnaces II of Pontus his basta...
