I am sorry but you fail to grasp the essence of Computer gaming. The whole point was that suddenly one could play alone. Sure it will always be better to play against a human, but the freedom of computer gaming is to play alone against the computer, wherever and whenever, might be 2 am and you have...

Therefore, the interest of historical scenario starting in late period :-)

good points Blancador. Durruti's death probability has been lowered already. It is not so easy to do what you say but it is not impossible. Just need time to think about it. Thank! For sure it need deeper reflection, it is just some proposition I thought about, more could be proposed. A great sourc...

Yes, increase patrol value and also is needed high loyalty level in the regions, but in España:1936 great Campaign we start with a 50% loyalty in most of the regions. In a mid war scenario this is much easy to do. What will help a lot is to make slower the movement in enemy controlled regions, spec...

I wonder if it is possible to transform some programmed events into political or diplomatic options : For example for the republican I thin about : - Change in government (it could have cost : e.g. a move to a pro-communist gov cost VP or MP but make the soviet help cheaper). - The return of the Int...

I think PBEM and to play against AI is two different things and are not mutually exclusive. By the way, you cannot denied that a majority of player are playing against AI and that is one of the main interest of computer wargaming (if I play against a human opponent I still prefer a good old box or m...

Yet the fact remains that the overwhelming majority of people never play against anything but the AI. Therefore every effort must be made to improve the AI. It's a challenge, yes, but challenges are made to be conquered. Our niche hobby will never make much progress if the AI is always given only s...

Fellows, you have to remember all games are made for human to human play. Even the very best AI does not read history books. AI emulates 'best play.' Humans find the anomalous openings and stratagems a computer could never find, even with MIT programers. If you are this far along in your understand...

That is a possibility. In fact this behaviour is OK with the musket era (for Rise of Prussia, it captured the right spirit of march and counter-march) or even for the Russian civil war. Maybe you should have a look in the WWI version of the engine. I played it before the gold version and I didn't ha...

When you read about the SCW a striking fact is that after a beginning period of high confusion where columns were able to perform deep strategic movements, the front froze and moved very slowly (except for the late offensive in Aragon that ended up in Vinaroz in early 38). It never happens in the ga...

What computer specs do you have? Maybe the full mod is too much for it? Please try with Republican or Nationalist musics.ini first. That is a possiblility, it is why I asked. I am using a windows 7 partition on a Macbook air with parallel, so I push the limits a bit. But in general I don't have any...

Does anybody experience crash with the music mod ? On my computer it crashes after a few minutes. it seems to do it between 2 songs...

Maybe control of the french border regions could give some aid to the republicans (something like a bit of WS, Money and Manpower for an RGD playable on San Sebastian or Gerona (not playable every turn), cost would be quite a bit of EP, all to represent additional fictional internationalist volunte...

Hum, I am not convinced. It hard to get out of here especially if you don't control the territories around. Anyway, the pb is not Tereuel per se, it is the capacity for some unit to do such a dashing move while the SCW is not known for heroic thrust! Most of the time the front line was pretty static...

Ah ok, thanks !

Well, in the game not really, it is a railway dead end. The coast road will be more efficient.

Beside the army issue, there is several minor issues that bother me (I didn't make it clear, but beside this, I love the game, it is a real pleasure to have at least a good strategic game on the SCW): 1) Is it possible to use different icons to differentiate mixed brigade from regular mixed brigade ...

It is not clear to me what are the condition to create new armies and army corps. For new armies, once it became possible, I select a 3 star general (active, i.e. with a white envelop) and it is very rare it work. On the republican side, it happens only once in 3 games I was able to get more than on...
