AGEWiki: Modding Campaigns and Scenarios

Edit: Never mind. I see that you pointed out the exact same thing in another subforum. :hat: I think I found the bit that is the problem: SelectFaction = USA SetFacRelationships = CSA;-100 NULL = NULL CitiesShiloh62.inc CSA_Blocked_Ports.inc ChgRgnDecisionFP = $rgdPlunder;2;$rgdDefensiveWorks;1;$rgd...

Grimjaw, thanks for your help! I thought that it was strange.

Morgan

I am a new player of Civil War II, only about 16 hours logged, and I am playing the Shiloh scenario as both the USA and CSA to get a feel for it. I have noticed that only the CSA gets Regional Decisions, and the USA gets none. Also, the CSA gets both the "Copperhead" and "Unionist&quo...

Looking through the Wars of Succession manual, the unit filters aren't mentioned in the "Shortcut Keys" section. They are also missing from most manuals although they are included in every AGEod game. That seems strange for such a useful feature.

Morgan

It sounds like you need to use the unit filter keys.

CTL-F1: hide locked and fixed units
CTL-F2: hide enemy stacks and fleets
CTL-F3: hide friendly land units
CTL-F4: hide all stacks and fleets

Morgan

The only thing that I really agree with him on is that Wars of Succession is not a good introduction to AGEod games for beginners. I always recommend Alea Jacta Est when people ask for a first game. Wars in America 2 is even better, but it isn't on Steam.

Morgan

Oh, that explains it. Thank you for the reply. I've never seen the default icon before.

Morgan

Why is the desktop icon of Wars of Succession a statue of Athena? I thought it might be a particularly significant statue in some relevant place, but I found that it is the one made by Leonidas Drosis outside of the modern Academy of Athens. Is this a placeholder, or am I again missing something his...

Morgan

Neat info, but a couple of them try to compress far too much information into a single map. The Historyatlas link in particular is like a plate of spaghetti.

Morgan

This is the first time that I have ever seen someone request a "nerf" for their own country in a wargame.

Morgan

Third man is the Habsburg king, Charles Charles VI who triggered the War of the Austrian Succession? Yes, I see that he looks just like the portraits. Is this a hint that an Austrian Succession campaign will be a DLC? ;) Edit: Oh, Charles the VI who was the claimant to the Spanish throne who trigge...

Morgan

The first is Louis XIV of France, the second is Charles XII of Sweden, and the last is Peter the Great, but who is the third man?

Morgan

Thanks for the advice, but it turns out that I didn't have to fire the event. Within another year, the Confederacy declared war on the United States, and so it has started up again on its own.

Morgan

While playing the 1850 campaign, I watched the U. S. Civil War start in 1861 as usual, and I kept hopping over to North America from my country to watch how it went. The Union successfully invaded the Carolinas, from which they took both Atlanta and Richmond within a single year. The western theater...

Here's a more direct method of stopping the war between Russia and Sweden. Go to the console and type:

DiploAdd RUS SWE 13

This forces a peace treaty between the two countries. To be used sparingly!

Morgan

In the end, I was able to get Prussia to end the war with Belgium by doing a ChangeFaction and forcing a peace. They were fighting Belgium to annex Luxemburg, which they had a claim on. I notice while looking through the menus that Luxemburg required a war score of 198 to transfer. That seems a bit ...

Morgan

This sounds similar to a problem I recently had. I was playing as Belgium, and Prussia declared war on me. I had no allies, so they easily crushed my army and occupied all of my territory. I was left with no ships or soldiers and a morale of 0. Surprisingly, the game didn't end. It just kept going. ...

Killerfish's Cold Waters came out two weeks ago, and I've been addicted. I still play English Civil War, but only during breaks from Cold War submarine duty.

For those wanting to look them up, these are the famous engravings by Jacques Callot titled Les Grandes Misères de la guerre , or "The Great Miseries of War." It is fitting that right after Plate 17, the second-to-last plate which shows desperate peasants murdering some soldiers who were s...

In the Game Options screen, the mouse-over text for Traffic Penalty says, If active, then moving too many units in a given region within the same turn will provoke a traffic slowdown. The penalty can be set to low, medium or high depending of the cursor position. The slider has five positions. I ass...

I was surprised to see some people complaining about map inaccuracies over in the Matrix forum, specifically how the regions didn't match the true county borders, and only the larger cities are included. I suppose that it would be fun to have the Roundheads and Cavaliers fighting in the fields just ...

Morgan

AGEOD usually gives out Steam keys when a game is added there, right? I don't see why anyone would wait for a Steam release before buying.

Morgan

I've had the same problem, but not to the same extent. It is still playable, but it is significantly slower than the other games. Also, I installed the game on my SSD, but I still hear the hard drive being used quite frequently. (My home directory is on the hard drive.) I see that the game is consta...

Morgan

Yes, I noticed that it has no effect on the scenario. It is just bizarre to see a Prussian flag there.

Here is a screenshot so you can see what I mean:

The date is "Early May," 1762.

Morgan

I started playing Scenario no. 13, the campaign from 1762 to 1764, and was surprised when I noticed that Quebec was owned by the Prussians instead of the British, who historically controlled the city after the Battle of Quebec in September of 1759. I checked the other scenarios and saw that they wer...

If so, where can it be found?

QF2 is an attachment to the first post of this thread. I applied 1.10e and then QF2, and the game works fine for me. I don't know if it is required, though.

I tried the above advice and discovered the following: Solitaire: When playing the scenario solitaire, the victory points are tabulated correctly. High difficulty: There is no difference, either playing as Russia or Germany. Poor play: I have tried to play as poorly as possible, but the AI immediate...
