I have just updated my version of "The Operational Art of War" - there are over 500 user made scenarios so it is no wonder it has become one of the most esteemed war games. I've always felt Ageod missed a trick by making it so hard to alter things or make new scenarios. If a fraction of t...

Thanks for this guide. It will come in handy when I start playing WSS seriously.

Would be great to know if there are still plans to patch and improve the game. I have more suggestions especially regarding the map, but it seems pointless to report bugs and suggest improvements if there's no chance of them being implemented. From my experience and from reading these forums, patch...

I understand that the problem is that there are many (all?) on the Consuls within the double General/Admiral category, and this gives the roman side an advantage because of the activation. The exploits of the roman navy vs Carthage were not because their commanders were always "active", t...

I'd like to see strategic things names on map when using map layer "owner/controller of regions". In current engine all cities names are covered in this mode by controller's color. https://beta-static.photobucket.com/images/d134/khanti1/0/2fb41406-dece-4f0f-8678-22a367e1ab3d-original.jpg?w...

There are even arrows in Napoleon's campaigns

Khanti

Glad to hear that. :) If there will be commander's badges on screen in new engine, please consider keeping them on the opposite side than map tools. It always collides with commander's badges (when there are few more commanders). http://www.ageod-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=397&t=52383&p=39876...

My guess: program takes music from list, looking for COUNTRY TAG then plays it one by one. You may edit Musics.ini in Pride of Nations\VGN\Sounds\ to test it yourself. Example: Music0 = VGN_Theme.mp3 Music1 = AUS_ALL_Oh du mein Osterreich.mp3 Music2 = FRA_ALL_National_Anthem_France.mp3 Music3 = GBR_...

Does combining Sulla with Legio 1 make Legio 1 a stronger unit (More strength and cohesion)? It's like 338 -> 621. Details: Legio 1 has overall combat strength 338 alone. After combining with Sulla it has overall combat strength 621. Is it worthy? ;) :D But then suddenly Sulla stops being commander-...

Khanti

No they aren't effective on 1:1. All their combat values are lower even versus falanga units. Against standard infantry battalions they have hard times. And they are useless versus all those elite units Nationalists tend to have from beginning. Probably if used in great numbers they will be useful i...

This was to be an improvement in the intention of the creators. Napoleon's Campaigns is a simple game based on the early version of the engine. There are interesting scenarios, although mainly short ones. There is also a Spanish campaign. The WON is mainly a European campaign. But this game has much...

Such a short note, because I just noticed something of interest:
"Most users ever online was 616 on 03 Nov 2018 18:33"
Strange things happen.

Arrows also match both conquests of the Aztec Empire.
Creating the Aztec Empire (Tenochtitlan-Texcoco-Tlacopan) and Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire.
Complete craze.

My bet:

- Charlemagne's conquests
or
- 100 years war

I would love one-week or maximum two-weeks turns. 30 days is too long IMO.

Good choices.
Arrows will also suit Mongol Conquests (1205–1312) or Crusades era.
Both could also attract some players.

I want to have random leaders generator in new engine. Something like it was done in HOI series years ago. Doable?

Khanti

I have a question regarding Extended Forces Pool and how it works exactly. If activated, do I have access to more brigades, etc, or the same amount of forces just more quickly? You can create / train more units. Every brigade / regiment / squadron / ship / whatever type have more reserve units to t...

6. Tanks speed coeff. I'm also wondering what the reason was for setting the speed of tanks at 35% and heavy tanks at 15% while at the same time the siege artillery has 70% . Most guns normally have 100%. Heavier German 155mm guns have 80%, but Austrian 155mm have 100%. I think it should be the sam...

4. Start date of 6-Poland1920.scn. It starts in early may 1920 with Polish forces in position for Kiev's Offensive, but the real thing started in March/April. On March 5-10, the Poleski Group troops carried out a local offensive, winning the Mozyrz, Barbary, Kalinkowicze, Rzeczyca and Czarnobyl. Th...

Sounds soothing to my nerves. I have enough of those short battle scenarios.

I wonder if Ageod would make 100-YW scenario with 100 turns [one year - one turn] :rolleyes: That would be nightmare. Too many expectations, too little turns. But many players prefer short scenarios. I don't understand that. For me short ones are just for warm-up. And I dream of 100-YW scenario with...

I would gladly re-edit all those names to make proper copy-paste form as part time job, but don't know how to apply for that job and if anyone is interested in. I.

Upon release, it was heavily railroaded. (...) Is there more freedom with what ifs now? Testing it recently: to my surprise, if you will leave the railroad , then game gives you more freedom. Railroad means countries that HAVE events files (about 15): SelectFaction = $AUS / Austria SelectFaction = ...

IMPRESSIONS and NOTES (...) 6. How does this thing with Generals work exactly? Both the starting Greek generals retire in 1865, in the middle of my war for survival with the Austrians, and nobody replaces them. I checked the data files, and there are generals that are supposed to come in 1860!. Cou...

(...) For Poland to raise large numbers of trained infantry does not reflect the reality of the situation. If it would been possible for Poland to raise such an army in this war, I would have no problem with it. My thought is that the AI, like a player, should build the most effective units availab...

Khanti

Yes.
I prefer old system like in by Bohémond's mod.
If someone want to have "new "one it should be doable by options.
The problem (?) is that files need to be overwritten, but maybe someone can overcome it.

Khanti

(...) I think that the AI builds too many Polish units, creating a large Polish army, something that never happened during this war, and this depletes the supply of conscripts. At one point, the AI had no less than twenty five single unit stacks at Danzig, which later combined to form the large arm...

I think if you are Polish it would be rather better you look for Habsburg&Ottomans wars. :) Warhammer 40k for other audience? I would likely play some Polish scenario or game if Ageod would make it. Be it vs. Ottomans, Habsburgs, Russians or Swedish :nuts: But it would require tons of work. Eve...
