Of Mantua and generals...

Mon Sep 07, 2015 7:05 am

There are some items I'd like to clarify a bit, one regarding the Mantua War and the other regarding generals.

So to Mantua - is this included in the game? I'm under the impression that during the initial phases of the Swedish Intervention, a substantial number of troops were tied up in Italy supporting Spain.

Regarding Generals I have a question and a clarification. Is the promotion system as in other Ageod games implemented or do generals remain at their given ratings throughout the game?

BTW I was a bit surprised that Pappenheim was given an artillerist quality. As far as I know, he was essentially a horseman (there's even a cuirassier regiment with his name in the game) and died leading a cavalry charge. So maybe a cavalryman attribute would be better suited. Also I'm under the impression that Aldringer was a Bavarian general rather than an imperialist one, though given that there aren't any penalties in putting other nationalities under a general, this is only sugar coating. ;)

Anyways, still having a blast of a time with this game!

I am playing the Swedish intervention scenario, and yes, this is included. The imperial army that was besieging Mantua shows up in southern Germany in 1631, as was the case historically, with units understrength

Good to know, but in the campaign no Mantua event fires.
