Which version of the game? In v1.01 it definitely does not work. Can you provide a save game? The problems Merlin wrote on his first post were from our PBEM and I can confirm all of them. There are also serious balancing issues with the opening war plans and huge loopholes that players of all sides...

The raid zeppelin RGD works fine for me. WE loses NM, and the zeppelins need replacements. The Italian wargoals also work as advertised. I am running RC7, though.

Italy joining is incredibly biased towards the Entente, whether or not the CP gives them the provinces they want. While the CP's alignment in Italy could survive D'Annuzio with a little luck and Austria giving up claims, and the Entente player can be dissuaded from shedding NM on giving up Tunis, it...

CiC of a theater and GHQ doesn't have any impact on one another. They're two completely different mechanics. The only real connection is the GHQ tends to have high seniority, as they seem to gain seniority when their armies do. CiC has an impact on skills (AFAIK, all of the black background with a w...

You have to be registered (and have a few posts, IIRC) to view the Paradox OT forum.

Any general can command a corps. Of course, the vast, vast majority of commanders are 2-star or higher, but if you take a look at von Lettow, he commands a corps. Army commanders can't have "attached" corps in the sense that army groups have attached armies. The army commander improves the stats of ...

Sounds good to me Kensai do you have any idea when we can expect it? AFAIK the navies of the great powers where a source of great pride, especially GB and Germany, if there had been more and heavier battles than jutland the NM losses would have been massive...whereas in land battles generals on bot...

The biggest problem is NM right now. The concept that a country can sustain as many casualties in battles as it wants as long as it wins is almost as absurd as losing 10NM over a few damaged cruisers and destroyers.

ringhloth

Three different things we are speaking here and this is my last post to your complains which I think have already been answered. 1) 400000 casualties mean nothing if you are not the losing side. The NM loss should be attributed when there are elements lost, at least for the land battles. This was t...

I did try that and had my fleet in port for year+ reparations. I guess the exact time depends on the hits taken by the ships. A completely lost element will mean recreating that ship from scratch, ie the longest possible waiting time. It is not ridiculous, I gave a possible explanation to you why i...

Have they actually finished passing through the canal? I've had fleets path through it, but then stop at the mouth forced into G/G.

ringhloth

They get damaged, nonetheless. Losing an element means the ship is lost. But if you go to port with a heavily damaged fleet in passive, you should expect it goes for repairs which means off the seas for almost 2 years for the dreadnoughts. That's how the 10NM is explained. Except they aren't off th...

A scenario where the countries were divided up would be nice. Even if only one country on each side got the ability to do diplomacy, that'd be fine. It'd also be more realistic in the sense that Turkey can't contribute conscripts to German divisions, or Turkey's rail pool assisting in the strategic ...

Small thoughts, I am not following that AAR. Regarding the huge NM loss/gain in naval battles: this is a design decision in all modern-era AGEOD games. It is kind of historically accurate. Naval battles were much rarer but their effect in morale was probably much higher. That's the most I can say a...

If I were the WE player I would have my powerful Grand Fleet ready in Scapa Flow and some older generation ships in the blockades in passive/defensive. The presence of the ships is enough to blockade the Central Powers. Now, if the High Fleet indeed ventured, probably it would beat that fleet. But ...

ringhloth

I just ran a test, where I put 48 command points worth of battleships and all of the destroyers and torpedo boats I could into one fleet, as well as combining the best British admirals. For the Germans, I shuffled the Austrian fleet in with the German ones, and took out the weakest ships until I got...

ringhloth

The thing is, war is all about deception as Sun Tzu said. For example, the Entente Blockade can actually be applied with older previous generation elements. Also, even if the Germans send their Zeppelins to recon the situation in a blockade box, they can only see as much. Remember that you can have...

ringhloth

In a PBEM game it is impossible as the CP to do something similar unless the WE player really risks by sending most of his powerful ships to hunt down raiders in the overseas oceans, leaving few in the North Sea to shadow the High Fleet. The CP can actually score a spectacular victory by risking a ...

ringhloth

just looking at that combat outcome its pretty clear most of his fleet didn't engage, so you basically isolated and damaged a small portion. did he have his ships in different stacks? sometimes the results can look misleading as the totals will show everyone who *could* have been engaged rather tha...

ringhloth

As it stands, the naval war seems heavily biased towards the CP. In a PBEM I have going with another player, I've managed to devastate the British/French fleet which has around 5-10k more combat power. The shifts in NM are huge as well. Minor skirmishes resulting in few ship losses are more influent...

Egypt gives a grand total of 2 money to the British, so holding it for the resources is pretty pointless. Not holding land provinces doesn't prevent you from traveling through canals, AFAIK. Even if it did, going around Africa is shorter than going through the Suez if you want to reach anywhere othe...

In some ways, it entices the Ottoman forces to attack the Russians. It's not really that strong of an enticement, though. Perhaps events unlocking him/replacing him if the Ottoman player attacks and either miserably fails or takes Kars, along with NM bonuses/penalties.

ringhloth

One of the biggest problems is how easy it is to move around in Africa. The connections for off-map regions are absurdly small. So small, that the biggest benefit the Suez Canal gets is a way into the Mediterranean. It takes 13 days to round Africa and get to Port Said, where as if you went through ...

I feel that the AI suffers the most from the lack of flexibility of armies. It doesn't do great with deciding how to shift forces (not that there are AIs that are great with that, AFAIK), and making more armies is all about shifting forces around. Playing a game with Plan XIX WE, where Russia choose...
