My understanding of WW1 was that rail lines were critical to supply and the massive size of the armies and supplies that they consumed. I'm really frustrated because as the French I selected Plan XIX and drove through the Ardennes and cut off every rail line into Belgium. It has been this way for a...

Personally, I see Russia as the best target. 1. You get a 2 vs 1 situation, with Austria and Germany able to concentrate a massive hammer blow to Russia, or, have Austria as the pivot, and Germany as the hammer (with Austria's main offensive focus on Serbia, with troops in quantity to actually do so...

Looking at historic OOB, army commands only held token protection forces (maybe a brigade) in case the enemy caught the command off guard. Take this as a discovery, in that Army Commands are primarily there for influence, and cannot be relied upon for tactical support, but to ensure that if a comman...

The problem with ranks and the American Civil War, is that rank did not necessarily equate to the size or scale of command. You could have Brigadier Generals commanding an army (McDowell in 1861), and Major Generals commanding divisions (most CSA Major Generals were division commanders, while also o...

Thank you, much appreciated, but was wondering if the unit names were historically correct eg. In British 5th Div there is 1st LR, POWO, 1st LFR 1/3 Infantry Brigade. Is there somewhere this can be checked? Thanks OH! I see, I don't think so, the regiments are correct, but, probably not for the 5th...

In looking back empusas, the AI was tweaked via a series of events, looking for conditions (i.e., if Prusssia failed at defeating or going to war with Austria, then the AI priorities switched, as in who you want to be friends with, and who enemies, as well as your neighbours). For combat, I set up a...

Yes, Alberto Pollio was the Chief of the General Staff, and yes, very pro-Austrian (came up with the Italian plan of operation, which was actually to become the far left of the Franco-German front rather than trying to fight across the Franco-Italian border). Quite an interesting what-if, in that th...

I think it is doable, probably event based (given that Belgium could be on either side depending on initial warplans). I am unsure if it would be at all possible through the diplomatic process. Romania also was a nation that could have gone either way in the conflict (I believe the royal family was ...

I believe that if you hover over the counter it gives you a name (Reserve Infantry, Field Artillery, etc...). That or if you click on the counter it opens up a detail window with the information there I believe...

I too would be keen to see this! Thanks for the hard work on this project!

A long time ago I modded the AI files (primarily for combat), and got some very good results with VP and other objectives (got rid of the mega-stack with more than one key objective, it split the AI into a few smaller forces). Anyways, I can look through my old files to see what might be in place fo...

Here is an update of what I am working on... One key aspect of the mod and events is that the better a nation does, the harder the situation becomes for them. The reverse is true, the worse a nation does in the game, the easier the options and world is for them. Take history, Austria fared poorly in...

Part of the mod I am working on is revamping most of the key events (notably unifcation of GER and ITA). In looking at this event, and reading up on the history of the conflict, Garibaldi should not have to take Naples to win (based upon the issue that Naples could not be defeated unless Italian tro...

Ok so need to find out what's happened it's only the cavalry and artillery which it has happened to but I have no replacements in the pool an there not in combat ?? What probably happened was that you had a tech upgrade and you had infantry replacements, so they filled out while your cavalry/artill...

McNaughton

Yes it is. Depending on the options you select to start a game (attrition), if an event was triggered, or if you recently upgraded technology you will have troops at low strength.

Here's an update on one of the focus' I am working on... Strategic AI This is based upon the premise of the mod to be less linear, and more 'pathway' based. This is based upon the idea of a campaign from an old game called "Wing Commander". This was a space flight simulator, with a series of pre-def...

Hi there, a long time ago I created biographies for many of the playable nation leaders. I am planning to implement them into the mod I am working on. Here is an XLS file of the finished biographies I have to date, believe it covers most existing leaders. Just copy these to the LocalStrings file Gat...

(Copied from the beta forum) Here's a 'how to' in regards to creating general graphics according to a modified system from the style of the original artist. Step 1 - Find an appropraite picture. The best pictures are those that are crips with appropraite shadows and shading is best. The below exampl...

Hi all, still working on this! It would take me a while to list off all of the changes in all areas, but here are some things I have finished, or am working on... #1. New graphics (for land and naval models, as well as for new events). #2. New models (primarily for flavour, to have better representa...

Very interesting! I did most of the leader pictures for the original release, if you want I can show you a tutorial for getting the same effect (deals with layering, resulting in the image of the general picking up the background colour).

Hi there, I am working on a mod for PoN and have a querry.. I was trying to have a dynamic system where the game is 'regularly' on a 1 month turn basis, until the human player enters war, then the system changes to 2 week turns. However, this causes errors in the time-space-continuum and won't work....

Hi there, just to post a few of the changes (there are 3 update posts)... The mod is due 'soon'...

It should address a few things.
