Yes for both intel level and Ai difficulty.

Ok here comes the battle setup: http://www.sumpfratte.de/Battleplan.jpg This shows the turn before the two big battles. In late january my troops were still in their winter postitions. Everyone is in the towns to avoid attrition. The ai started suddenly an assault on Richmond. A small part (about 4...

I´ve playing the Union with 1.06, there´s a notable improvment of the AI but still got a morale victory by mid 1862 when Richmond fell. As far as I know this is plausible scenario from the historical point of view, but there should be an option to alter the victory conditions without resorting to g...

Zoetermeer wrote:So for all you have played with this patch - is there a noticeable difference in the AI?

yes, AI is able to use command chain and so isn't anymore plagued by command penalties.

Raids are both less suicdal and more dangerous, some being made with several units commanded by a leader.

If you take your time, can't you skip the militia an go for a quality only army? Marcus you will not have time, as you need to garrison your cities against CSA cavalry raids. Buying in the firts few turns militias will give you the minimal protection needed whe n your other ressources should be dev...

Hi everyone, I've been focusing on playing the Union in the 1862: Struggle for the Heartland as my beginning campaign game. The west essentially starts similarly as the Shiloh scenario which means I've got around half of the campaign's command issues and initial opening strategy already figured out...

Some Generals died early. As always, there's no real way to estimate accuratly what would have been their stats at higher ranks. Hood was a good division leader and was abysmal in charge of the Tennessee army. Who knows if LYON wouldn't have had the same evolution? So just an idea: the system should...

The longuest cavalry raid : July 1863 General John Hunt Morgan and his guerrilla force of 2,500 Confederate cavalry terrorized towns and farms in Ohio and Indiana. Best known as Morgan’s Raid, it covered over 1,000 miles through Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. http://www.longestraid.com/map.j...

some facts collected in various threads : Leaders need to prove their worth in battle. Most leaders can be promoted to a new rank, if they: a) gain at least 4 seniority point compared to their base value or b) have a seniority of 1 or 2 If they still can't be promoted, then the data base is set like...

Plus y a de villes dans une état, et plus ça coute cher. Mais plus il y a de chance d'obtenir un bonus, aussi en fonction du potentiel d'industrialisation (car le tirage se fait par ville). Le Nord en a pas vraiment besoin, le Sud, si (ça et capturé des villes avec des usines au Nord !). Cat si, si...

The turn after the general gets his order, the penalties are removed, unless you failed to pay the cost (in which case the division is still there, but the penalties too and you will have to pay the cost anyway the following turn).

Clovis

I don't see the situation as dire as being proposed. First, the Union force should be in divisional command, as they historically were organized, and indeed fought as such. Because they proved ineffective goes more toward the commanders, rather than the organization. It is a matter of green troops ...

Clovis

I would disagree with the no division rule on historical basis. Not sure when divisional organizations started appearing elsewhere. Maybe limit the divisions to the historical 5 mix until later. I sort of like the new rule and I sort of don't, I'll just have to play with it and see how badly it can...

Clovis

Jim and I restarted our PBEM game with 1.05. Using the new division rule as Billy Yank I was able to organize a pretty decent army in June of '61 of 2 corp with 2 and 3 divisions respectively, and the main army with 3 divisions in reserve under McDowell. Not very historical. I'm currently testing s...

I knew this will turn out bad :bonk: . I didn't want to offend you or anybody else. English is not my native language so some sentences perhaps look strange. I am sorry. As I said this is my opinion and guys from AGEOD will probably have last word on this. Anyway, keep posting as you make some inte...

Clovis

As I said, I like much ideas here but don't just go nuts if you can't do what was done historicaly. hey, where I go nuts?? Just seeing a possible gamey trick against AI (and possibly human player) and something unhistorical as you don't create an army to just put 2 divisions in order to get the adv...

Clovis

Hmm.. Maybe all generals appearing in 1861 should be either 3 stars (army commander) or 1 star, and only get promoted to 2 once they get experience.. Or a simplier way would be to use division HQs to make corps as well, so that you have to wait at leat few turns to get corps organised... I think so...

Clovis

OK... At start Beauregard's army is suffering a 35% penalty...

I wonder why Neither Longstreet or Evans are present as leaders as their brigade units are here.

How to add leaders??? Going back to scenario files...

Sure

Clovis

Personally, in the July scenario I disassemble just about everything and build a Corps under Hunter. I leave the one weak division in the Army with McDowell. This seems to give enough command points to have everything under control with no penalties and you get the Army - Corps bonus on the next tu...

Against AI in the July 1861 campaign Simple: just put only 2 us divisions within McDowell army, then march on Manassas. Even if McDowell is inactive, US will win the battle with numerically inferior troops, because this force doesn't need more Command Point than McDowell has. I guess Confederate arm...

open Sounds.ini with a text editor in the C:\Program Files\AGEod's American Civil War\ACW\Sounds folder.

I guess you have to copy the needed MP3 files in this folder too .
