Ocean Transports can add a lot of Money/War Materiel to the Union side. Check the event messages each turn. I have almost all of the transports in the shipping lanes box and I get a message like "Sir, our merchant fleet in shipping lanes has delivered 24 Money and 44 War Supply to our harbors.&...

My apologies. I'll correct this immediately.

In my writer's group, a member finally finished his great book. He edited every page over and over before publishing. Then he found out that he had misspelled his name.

Go to the ledger and choose "Regions". Each region is listed alphabetically. Go down the list, say to New York, NY and just click the flag icon. The map shifts so that region is in the center of the screen.

First off, the Union forces are in a mess. You get a bunch of small Divisions with too many artillery batteries and cavalry. Here is what I do. Break all the Divisions in the Army of the Tennessee (AotTN) down and rearrange them. Grant should be in command of one stack. Leave 6 cavalry elements as e...

I watched some Imperator: Rome on YouTube and was not impressed. I:R doesn't offer anything new. The basic inscrutable Paradox battle system is unchanged. Ageod has a new combat system in Empires that allows for tactical innovation and can plug in to FOG2. Also, I bought CK2 and got a score well ove...

The Cathedral of Notre Dame has been burning for three hours, as though only the tears of the world could extinguish the inferno. Such a gut wrenching tragedy.

Each unit costs Command Points to use. If you have a deficit in CPs, then a stack of units moves and fights less effectively. All of the units in a Division are lead by one General and only cost 4 CPs. A Corps or Army may provide 18 or more CPs and can thus command several Divisions with much more c...

The message I got is called "Charter Ocean Transports", as above. Obviously, more than one message allows this. In your example, it's not as lucrative a deal, but still viable. The Union can make a sizable addition to its economy with shipping trade. I always go for it.

Gray Fox

The message I get is a light warship and 5 merchants for $75 and +1% inflation. The warship is not much of a factor and the inflation can be countered with other decisions. So, 5 merchants for $75 is one merchant for $15. A merchant in the Atlantic Shipping box earns approximately $2 or the equivale...

I figured as much.

It's Civil War 2, also a great game. It's just a test run I did to gather data on game mechanics. It wasn't an actual play-through.

Here's a side by side screen of a "Giant" unit from Empires and a unit counter from CW2. https://we.tl/t-nW729ILLp6 I'm retired U.S. Army. I don't see the problem with a large banner pinned to a figurine as in Empires. This is not unlike what Generals at this time would have actually used ...

It's true that a lot of the generic Brigades in the current game are not crowd pleasers. However, any Brigade commanded by a General cannot be added to a Division as such. So General BloodnThunder would need to be stripped from the unit that bears his name, unless you changed this.

Gray Fox

Khbynum, I'm with the beta testers for this game and I can assure you that it is top notch. I believe you would enjoy the strong historical flavor. I hope that you reconsider your decision.

Sincerely,

I have never encountered a limit when building units. Captain Orso may know if this was a feature that made it into the final game but was not fully developed.

Gray Fox

Thanks! There's a thread in the board's general discussions forum that the wiki could not be fixed.

The victor in a battle is determined by battle points (BP). If you hold the ground, that's 5 BPs. If you retreat, you lose 5 BPs. One BP for each National Morale point gained or the opposite for each one lost. If you were routed, you lose another 5 BPs. Then the program checks who has the most BPs. ...

The advice to remove him from the stack seems to work. Give it a try. The AI, respectfully named Athena, plays hard to get every now and then. Might have something to do with the phases of the Moon.

You click on Military Recruitment Mode (F11), then cursor over the flatboat. The regions where you can build the flatboat should all change to green. Just drag and drop it on one of the green regions. The next turn you should be able to build a depot. Click the hammer icon from the unit menu and cli...

Gray Fox

Perhaps our undying gratitude for a job well done? The only thing I see is that the agewiki seems dead now so those links don't work. Perhaps Captain Orso knows what is up with the wiki? I'll check if I have any of the material simply block copied somewhere. Also, did I mention that you did an incre...

I set a contraband unit in Baltimore and a Brigade combat unit in Philly to repair a rail line and then move to an adjacent region. Both rail lines were repaired. However, neither unit was able to accomplish this and move to an adjacent region in the same turn. No bad weather was present. On a secon...

Okay, so we have this statement from the manual about command points: "At any time, the “Command Cost” of the troops in a Stack is compared with the “Command points” of the leaders present in order to determine whether a penalty applies as well as the size of the penalty. To see the details of ...

I checked and there is a one-time game decision to purchase 3 additional merchant ships in 1862. So extra merchant ships do eventually show up.

Some units have a sort of red streak on their card from a game mechanic. If you cursor over the streak you get a pop-up that the unit is locked in place permanently, for X number of turns or until attacked.

I took 2 years of Russian in college. Now I only remember enough to get slapped.

Gray Fox

It's actually a 50-50 chance. I just tried it 3 turns in a row without success. However, the total patrol value of units in a region can raise loyalty. The event where 10 brigades are locked in D.C. have over 100 total patrol and should slowly raise loyalty there. I also tried the build defensive wo...

Gray Fox

Yes, the unit will spend a few days repairing the rails. Also correct. The Ocean Transports will bring in a combination of money and WS. The sea supply is impressive, but the supply system is fickle. I had twelve Divisions in VA supplied on the coast. However, if I moved the force more than 3 region...
