I will provide any support, but the Slitherine folks don't pay much attention
to this page really. If you are on their forum start a thread there.

That's a period AGEOD would like to revisit, but you players need to voice your opinion in the Slitherine forum(s) about what you want to see.

I normally prefer NATO symbols in any wargame I'm playing, but these
AGEOD games are a different breed and it would just feel wrong. Sure,
if I was playing on a hex based map I'd like that, but with regions instead
it just seems better to have portraits. Still, it's an interesting idea.

It's worked for me. Not all the time, but I've seen it work.

Also, I don't recall when an entire corps was ever sent to conduct an amphibious assault. It happened. First one I wikipedia'd was the first battle of Fort Fisher - a corp of the Army of the James versus a division of the Army of Northern Virginia. . But was that an actual amphibious assault? I dir...

DrPostman

Iv tried doing that before. The Corps "structure" is gone as soon as you board a ship. Splitting up ships wouldn't work. I believe it was designed that way since a corps can't stay intact on multiple ships and needs time to re-assemble after they land. Also, I don't recall when an entire ...

15 elements, and you can get that max with all artillery. For the best division
it's optimal not to have all of one thing, except an artillery division IN a corps.

Athena does a better job than most, but not all the time.

Most players want a historical feel to the game, and politics played an enormous role during the war. There were just too many incompetent generals active in leadership to simply avoid that fact by appointing those we know are going to perform better. Without consequences to those choices I wouldn't...

While I still believe that leapfrogging a far more junior general over the heads of those more senior commanders should have repercussions (I'm not currently sure what those repercussions should be), I don't believe that it should be any great obstacle either. Just think of Lincoln choosing Meade ;...

I had a game where it stayed neutral till October!

I hope someone else can answer that for you.

Yet they turn hostile when the Sioux event fires. That's why I said it's a bug. Was there an Apache/Hopi
uprising at the same time?

DrPostman

It's the Sioux Uprising of 1862 event. They are no longer neutral. They will turn back to neutral sometime in 1863. It's a bug since it was only something that happened in the Minnesota River valley. You can use your Subvert Indians regional decision card to try to turn them into union assets or att...

Southeastern California has no coast, so no flatboats. There should already be a fort there if
its not destroyed (as the South I always send someone to destroy it). You can build a depot
there that will help keep you supplied further South (or North, if you are playing the South).

Yea, I don't think there's any fix for that, other than to save the game, load the
CSA side and make purchases for it, then save as the Union and run the turn.

I'm thinking it was more of a historical "flavour" unit. They played part of a role
in the war so perhaps the next iteration can fine toon it.

DrPostman

Will there be a CW3 though? And if so, when? Probably not for a few more years. It will have to appear economically viable for AGEOD. Does it not currently appear to be so? Not with all the other projects they have going. Keep in mind that these types of games are a niche market. They aren't making...

Probably not for a few more years. It will have to appear economically viable for AGEOD.

I like using it. You can always go with what the AI recommends if you feel stuck, but
it makes battles feel a little less uncontrollable.

DrPostman

I think that feature is disabled in all the scenarios. I always play campaign so I could
be wrong on that.

DrPostman

Got my application in.

DrPostman

Thanks for the reply. Where do I find this? I looked through the Options and didn't see anything about an "administrative" mode. I have played other scenarios, and war bonds worked fine. Before you start the game. I'm assuming you're using Windows. Right click the icon and select "ru...

Thanks!

Never played that scenario but I suspect that the Mississippi river isn't in play so
and ships there are unusable.

I'd work on that anytime.

Dare we imagine it for CW3?

DrPostman

Will you need to own FOG2 in order to enjoy that battle feature, or will it be
included as a part of Empires? Probably a stupid question, but I wasn't sure.
I was imagining FOG:Empires as an adjunct to an established game.

DrPostman

Which scenario are you playing?

When do you think the call for beta testers will go out?
