Hmm, I am guessing you found where the flag graphics are held CW2>Graphics>Factions and have maybe found where they are actually assigned CW2>Gamedata>Factions I see events that change some flags on the map .. example for Nevada below .. so it looks like you could change flags for states .. not seen...

My initial thought is no .. but .. it is a difficult question to answer and is probably not that black and white and may be dependent on when during the war you asked the question There are a few factors at play here 1. The CSA had effectively 3 categories of troops a) Regular troops mustered into t...

Missouri I do believe Missouri was a little more clear cut than Kentucky but it may well come down to your interpretation as to whether Price intended and had the influence to live up to his side of the agreement with Harney. I think the problem with that though is that 1. Gov Jackson was actively ...

My opinion, Missouri I have been researching what troops were organised and available early in the war but have not really looked too in depth at MO yet .. but .. I agree that at the start the only troops available to the CSA should be the Missouri State Guard, no other CSA troops were present. They...

It has brought back memories of when I first played Europa Universalis .. I would come across an event I knew nothing or very little about and it would immediately result in closing the game down and send me off for hours reading about it. So a few of the more interesting things I am more enlightend...

So, in theory it would be possible for the South never to get Lee as a commanding officer, provided it can hold e.g. all along the Potomac? No, He will eventually release There is one event that places him in Richmond sometime between Late August and the end of 1861 fully locked (This will usually ...

Teatime

What I find is that if you reload the previous turn and replay, or if you just start a new game without closing the game down, that you will often get the same result .. so the "random" generators seem to be something set when the game loads (I am not 100% sure of that but it appears that way from t...

This is probably a solution to both your problems .. ahistorical but within the mechanics of the game For the Sioux uprising 1. Build a MN militia unit in Mankato during May 62 .. so that it is fully formed by late June 2. Move the militia unit to Yellow Medicine, MN so that it is in position before...

Yah, I am thinking of looking at the map but from the research I have just done it looks rather ominous .. I think to make it worthwhile you would probably need to split Montgomery MD (large region Nth of the Potomac) into 2 regions Fairfax VA (Alexandria) into 2 regions Loudon VA (Leesburg) into 2 ...

Teatime

I agree with kc87 on both his points 1. Additional regions in Virginia so you see the flanking movements and mobility that we actually saw during campaign seasons. Modding this needs access to the map making tool though. 2 The units already get a significant defensive vs offensive bonus in their sta...

If you are in changing the scenario files then I think you are at the point where it would be worthwhile learning the CSV Splitter .. if only for that file .. it is evil :cthulhu: Also ... any units created at startup (i.e. in the scenario file) will be a minus against those starting forcepools as w...

Teatime

Its actually in the scenario file .. search for the unit id's of the units and you should come across a line which contains them .. will see if I can find it as I changed it .. but it was a while ago Edit .. found it This is the USA one (and a couple of lines above and below) NULL [color="#FF0000"] ...

After a wee bit of archeology I have uncovered how to get your divisons named for their generals .. I cannot take credit for the work of others here, just finding it with some searches In the faction files CW2 > GameData > Factions Open the relevant files (1-USA & 2-CSA) using Notepad and add the fo...

Teatime

And I think I am not alone in giving a big thanks for you doing these ... It's wonderful to get rid of the generic general portraits and to add these generals into the game

Stacks (including assigned corps) yes Alt + Right Click will bring up a rename dialog Armies yes But what you have to do is .. remove the army command > rename the stack using Alt + Right Click > reapply the army command .. don't forget to reapply corps associations if you had them Divisions, Briga...

Teatime

Both There are advantages to having cavalry in your main stacks and there is certainly no harm in having brigade or division strength in a corps or army stack. Raiding is very important when the CSA to try to disrupt the USA supply lines. As you have seen your raiders can't hang out there for more t...

A few points that may or may not help ..... VP Value s - In the models files there is a VP Value and a Political Value assigned to each element, I don't how these are actually used by the game. These are typically in the CMN models. VPValue = POLValue = I don't know if these are used when an element...

Teatime

I think the game has it pretty right as to when these formations were effectively being used. The Union certainly had divisions earlier than Oct 61, they were part of the organisation at 1st Bull Run. However given the inexperience of both the troops and the commanders with formations of division si...

Teatime

I shall have a play with that then

May be as simple as replacing LargeCombiName with something like LeaderArmyName and using that wildcard

I for one and I think a number of people would like to name the Divisions after the general

Teatime

I'm afraid this is not as simple as you put it. I never play more than 2-3 turns per session, yet some days ago I had my first crash (and on that occasion I even seem to recall that it was the first turn I was playing). So no, it's not just about restarting the game after some months, unfortunately...

Yes, the proportion of artillery in an AI stack seemed to go down when I took them out of brigades .. I remember seeing one large stack without artillery at all! Athena seemed to struggle with recruiting and incorporating individual batteries. May be due to the AI parameters ... this line is in the ...

Teatime

Good to know

ompom:

Wish you could wild card it for the generals name like the LeaderFleetName above it .. but tried that and failed

Teatime

Suggest you test Athena on how she handles not having artillery in the brigades .. I found divisions were light on artillery when I tried that.

I have not tried it but adding to that list should solve your problem

Teatime

Coming along nicely, how are you going with the 4 turns per month?

I think there are more than a few interested to know what you had to adjust in the end

Teatime

I you play the game for too many turns (6 months or so) then it does seem to have issues .. not sure if it is a memory leak or not.

Best thing to do is save your game and close the game down and then just reopen and load your save game .. runs fine again for another 6 months or so

If it is just events that are modded then it should not be a major issue to get a user patch out there, there would need to be agreement on what should be changed though with perhaps a group of the more knowledgeable people with the decision making on what should be in or out and what should change....

Teatime

I am now wondering how the game would go if you doubled the resource costs to build and the supply costs to support units rather than try to halve the amount produced by cities etc. I think, with all the odd numbered values and only integers being allowed, that it would be impossible to get a game w...
