It triggers a need for an essentially different what if chain for France. How stable is the Second Empire even after a win? The underlying social tensions remain and will resurface once the glow of victory goes away. It'd be an interesting mod along the lines of Kensai's reworking of the Austrian e...

So that's sadly a big no for me.
What's the point of winning in 1870 if you still got Germany and the republic. Or of the US civil war if the CSA still die.
Some major what if should have been in.

Well, that's how it is.

Hi there,

Years after release, has the game evolved?
Upon release, it was heavily railroaded. A victorious CSA was to be annexed by USA. Or French Empire was doomed no matter what.

Is it still the case? Is there more freedom with what ifs now?

Austria-Hungary did not have a national flag per se, but it seems that the dual one was used as a civilian flag. Album of Standards, Flags and Streamers of the Russian Empire and Foreign Governments" 1890 edition with later corrections [available for download] indicates at the table VIII number 4 th...

Improved diplomacy indeed, and less scripted events regarding coalitions to increase replayability.

Palpat

Same issue.
Ageod should take small screens into account...

Palpat

I guess it can't be used in solo play?

Palpat

It's all in the title.
What will be in the future DLC? (Yeah, I know developpers these days plan this on paper before even starting to script a game or finishing him).

I strongly suggest a 1792 one with the revolutionnary wars.

It should be in, as it would greatly increase replayability.
Choosing to play one's card and agenda is a fascinating possibility.

Palpat

Same issue. In my current campaign, said buttons aren't working. Even with the "load campaign trick" thingie.

Palpat

Such weakness has been there since release...

Hi team, I downloaded and installed the official 1.01.. I just found out a day 1 issue is still there : the amunition factory still bears no tooltip. Not a clue on the cost or effects. I'd like to know before I build one... Another issue I have : music isn't playing. Both under the french localisati...

Well, stray shot should be back in. It could also emulate suicide : Samsonov...

Palpat

This is a known issue. I strongly advise you to install the current beta patch as it seems to solve the said problem.

If you already use the said patch, you've just came accross a major issue that needs to be reported asap.

So, blue/blue for the shipping boxes. Including for raiders?

And for the blockade boxes? Orange/orange?

Palpat

Is this the same for all ships? Defending and attacking? Corsaire-ing and pirate-hunting?
Always passive-passive and combats will occur?

Palpat

- Better performances indeed, even if I tolerate the current slugginess as a price for such a complex game. - A less deterministic game. It only has the appearance of openeness. I want the possibility of a-historical 1914 where Italy stays with the Central Powers, I want the possibility to have Otto...

Palpat

IMHO the lack of what-ifs, especially for France, is one of the big PoN flaws. PoN put the deterministic choice up to the point of sillyness. Allowing the Empire to survive its victory in 1870 is a basic... And it's not that hard to do some what if on who could be minister as the political elites wo...

Palpat

Still no tool-tip for the cost of most decisions, including munition factories. (French version)

Palpat

Something should be done with the insanely low time of travel between the African boxes.

(I also wouldn't have removed the possibility of death for 3*. It's part of war and could also emulate suicide. Samsonov style. )

Palpat

Comme je l'ai précisé ailleurs, je n'ai pas le temps de faire de la traduction mais je veux bien jouer le rôle de correcteur.

Les fautes de français, c'est le mal.

Palpat

Nice.
But you should change C.S.A. flag to the Stars and Bars, the third national was only used for a few weeks in 1865 when most games are over.

Palpat

Of course, there are other priorities. I am glad we agree on the overall philosophy. By the way, non-historical alliances aren't that nonsensical. Greece was widely divided and more or less choose the Entente because, well, she was already occupied. Romania's government was also to a certain extent ...

Palpat

I know that, and this is my whole point : - The game should be a little less deterministic with Italy and Turkey. I say they should stay historic for the 2/3rd of games. After all, we do have non-historical war plans. - One should have the option, as C.P, to try to get Italy to stay faithfull to the...

Palpat

I know, but you still take an event that shows that Serbia decided for the historical outcome: to deny the ultimatum! Perhaps in the future we could have options such as the ones in RUS "Drang Nach Osten" where the Russians could fake their agreement. ;) The basic principle of every WW1 game with a...

Palpat

Writing a decision is indeed far from impossible.

Palpat

I don't understand what you don't get here. The point is not to have no war or whatever but an OPTION like in other wargames (such as Guns of August or World War One) where Germany choose a diplomatic poker (taking a somewhat strong cost, of course) : Germany waits for a Franco-Russian declaration o...

Palpat

Where did we say "no war"?

Palpat

I am of course thinking about a late july start, when you can select your war plans.

Palpat

Theoretically yes. The same goes for the Ottoman Empire and Italy. However the AI is quite deterministic at the moment (something I wish we could change, ie make the AI choose with some lesser probability certain events, especially when not playing the historical war plans, if that possible) and yo...
