As every warrior knows, from the day you are born, you start to die. Y...

Remember, this is a game, not a recreation. Have you read this: http://www.ageod-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=331&t=43074 1. I form a "shield" of Divisions from St. Louis to Pittsburgh entrenched in the major cities along the rivers. This allows me to concentrate on the East. In your pic,...

Perhaps, there is no Union 1864 list as you suspected.

Gray Fox

That's what I'm thinking. It should be there.

Gray Fox

Have you checked the Dbase?

Welcome, Thomas! This is one of my favorite games. #1 Yes that's correct. Late cavalry and rangers can do this as well. #2 With the Battle Planner, a great many choices are available, perhaps too many for a guide. I check every option against the suspected response and use that to conclude the best ...

Thanks Shockley! We had a thread about this very topic many years ago, but I can't seem to find it. What you posted sounds correct. Blitz41, I'm an "on to Richmond" guy, so I don't capture a lot of forts. I have Grant take the coastal fort just southeast of Richmond. This allows him to be ...

Gray Fox

IIRC, you have to hold the forts at the mouth of the Mississippi.

The Battle Planner offers a lot of choices. To nail them each down would be a great task and perhaps unnecessary. I just run through the options available one by one. The planner gives you the possible results. I pick the one that offers a good chance. Sometimes an artillery choice is available, and...

Pocus posted this about trade on Steam: That's probabilistic, if you have a trade acumen of 3 and you have 2 foreign sources each with a TA of 3, then the weight are as follow 3 each for the foreigners 9 for your own source (triple weight bonus for your own resource) So your probability of having yo...

Rome and Macedonia are game constructs. A faction can have high Legacy and get wiped out militarily, so why not diplomatically? Players accept that they can destroy an enemy on the battlefield, then take slaves from every region conquered and finally slaughter any rebels who object. In my Burgundi c...

Apparently, my original post where I did a study of the Raze function. no longer exists.

I wonder if faction qualifier has an effect? Sarmatia was a Warrior Caste when I got the Double Deuces. Aristocratic Elite grants a Leader Pool +3. Some rulers have a Superior Military trait that gives me more leaders, too. More leaders means more chances. Still, I suppose a military genius should b...

If you Ctrl+cursor over a unit card, you can see a "(+1)" by the Defense value. The unit has to be static in the region with the armorer for at least one turn and only one unit gets the armor per turn. I only know that I got two "Double Deuce" Generals (2-2) after I started payin...

Gray Fox

Yep, AoE Bro. He mentioned the forum once. I've been watching History Guy, too. He knows a lot about the history, not so much about playing CW2. Still, he does seem to be down with the Richmond first strategy.

Gray Fox

From my experience, if you build a Brig and use it as a blockade runner, then it never pays for itself. The blockade ships will eventually catch it, causing damage, before you break even. If you leave it out, then it can be sunk. If you put it into port for repairs, then you must also pay off the re...

Gray Fox

In my Carthage campaign, I took Latium where the CM was and the Romans could still build Legions. So you can't build Legions anywhere?

Gray Fox

Great to hear from you, ACG! I've been playing Field of Glory: Empires, lately. I found a video someone did recently for CW2. He took all of the stuff we came up with for the game and barely mentioned the original source. I posted a link in his comments' section to this site.

Be safe!

Welcome Colonel Ric!

You might want to post this in the CW2 Mods folder. I'm not a modder, but I'm sure someone there can help you. Good luck!

Yep, it's the election. I don't believe he comes back.

I pointed this out...a few years ago.

Really? When I posted this advice on Steam, someone thanked me.

I guess you got that wrong, too.

Gray Fox

"Legacy" is the factor that decides the winner. The word "this" is a singular reflexive pronoun. If I had meant the structures, I would have said "these". In point of fact, structure legacy was one eighth of my total legacy.

You want structures in a region to be able to feed the population and maintain the infrastructure without the need to additionally employ citizens to these. Slaves can still be used, but that way all the citizens can produce culture. This is because culture in a region grows each turn so that certai...

A Division of 17 elements has more chances to do everything than a smaller Division, so I would go with 2 full Divisions and 1 smaller Division.

Gray Fox

You're most welcome! Good luck!
