Firm vote for Civil War.

I have played almost all of AGEOD's games, and this is still the most compelling.

It would be great to see a big step forward in the AI.

Would immediately back on Kickstarter.

Good Luck!

Hi, I am very excited to be playing Napoleon. :) Unfortunately, I am missing the top edge of the screen, and can't seem to find a way to access it. Some buttons are very far up along the top edge, and I can't access them. Also, certain instructions must be up there as well, since I am only able to r...

DaemoneIsos

I have used several of those, notably many bribes, and loyalty is still a flat zero. I see that the bribe tooltip offers loyalty, but it didn't appy on the arabian peninsula, apparently. (The others I don't have access to at this level of CP.) As an aside, I don't seem to be able to place missionari...

DaemoneIsos

I have bribed my way to protectorate status in Dubai. However, I cannot immigrate any of my citizens, because I have no loyalty. None of the colonial options that I see mention loyalty improvements.

How can I raise my loyalty a few points?

Many Thanks,

Still getting CTD at turn execution

DaemoneIsos

Thanks, all. For my first game, I turned up the units limit to 2x for sandboxing. That would imply I should have access to GB commercial units, then, right? That does not appear to be the way it worked out.... No commercial units are in the military build options. That is the only place I see to bui...

DaemoneIsos

I would like to build up my merchant capacity (in the tradeovals). But I don't see a comparable unit in any of the build screens. It does not appear to be the same as a transport squadron.

Can anyone please instruct me?

Many Thanks,

-D

It was a cashflow issue: South America (particularly Brazil) seems to process last on my purchase trades, every turn. So as I spent money elsewhere, the process would simply stop once my cash was depleted, prior to sales to my population. (No message is included about being out of funds, but that is...

DaemoneIsos

Will that open up the DoW option?

Even with the temporary CB, I can't actually gain anything in a war with Greece (other than personal satisfaction) right? There would be no real point other than joy in their demise? Does an eventual peace offer include any possible benefits for me?

Thanks!

DaemoneIsos

Alas, no treaty option to declare war. Just the old propose visit, promise support (ha!) and propose commercial agreement. Note that I start the game with a defensive treaty. Does this prevent a DoW? I do not see a way to cancel the agreement. In which case the CB is mystifyingly irrelevant.... Any ...

DaemoneIsos

Playing at GB in 1850, I am buying goods all over the world for my countrymen. Strangely, none of the South American purchases are executing. These are not competitive failures: no other country is apparently putting in any bids. But no transactions occur, no message is given, and all the trade wind...

DaemoneIsos

This event gives me a CB against Greece; honor demands I use it. But how?

On the diplomacy screen with Greece, I see the CB, but no button to actually put it to work.

Can anyone please help?

Many Thanks!

DaemoneIsos

As I look at my domestic demand, I have plenty of common goods to satisfy my population, but not many luxuries. It looks like there are luxuries available on the international markets at normal prices. Do I have anything to lose by buying up those luxuries and then selling them to my citizens? It ap...

DaemoneIsos

Having read the manual a couple of times through, I am a bit confused, and would be grateful for some insight. As I start my first turn of the grand campaign (as UK), my country is already set to sell multiple commodities on the foreign market, including tea. Would I not be better off selling that t...

The "neutral" powers are key validators. I am presuming the destruction the CSA raiders are wreaking is on USA-flagged vessels only. After all, the French will be upset whether you steal their goods or just sink them!

DaemoneIsos

The financial results are prospective estimates, meaning that you probably will not achieve all that you are told. If you look at the turn results, you will see reports about raising X dollars from patriotic citizens (for example) and the number is a bit off from the estimate on your financial optio...

DaemoneIsos

I don't know much about CSA commerce raiders. Did they strictly seek to destroy? I would have thought that privateering would have been the draw (seizure being preferable to destruction, and profitable). Was that not militarily feasible, or was it a cultural issue, or maybe something else going on?

DaemoneIsos

Same/similar thing with Service Assets (engineers, field hospitals, signal units). One replacement point is 24/1/5, while that is exactly what it costs to buy an entirely new engineer, and more than what it costs to buy an entirely new unit of the other two. Or I may be missing something. Always po...

DaemoneIsos

I've had it work both ways. The impact on NM is huge, but not necessarily sudden death. Either way, the balance of power is so shifted by the NM reversal that I can't imagine recovery: just a dragged out conclusion. That is without moving the capital of course. I have also taken DC as the rebs again...

It is an alternative to the assassination event, as I understand it. Morale loss, etc.

I love AGEOD. I bet I am not the only one here who daydreams about cutting loose and designing cool games for a living... And I love AACW. It is without doubt the most impressive and engaging strategic wargame I have ever played. I am very excited about the idea of AACW2. I will put money on the tab...

DaemoneIsos

Each side has a political action it can take every six months which will affect FI. Sadly, the outcomes are unpredictable: they can go either way, almost like a big coin flip. So you can try to be bold.... The steady approach is to maintain leadership over your opponent in either or both of National...

DaemoneIsos

I know Sun-Tzu did not fight for Robert E Lee, but surely he would have approved. The idea of trapping Hooker was bold, crafty and strategic. Luring an enemy into a trap is what makes a general famous (and the lured, infamous). I like the idea of clarifying and feeding back to the player the effects...

DaemoneIsos

I have never seen a message announcing Scott's retirement.

I have run the first years of the war several times with the AI off to test different industrial investment options. So there is very little noise to hide his announcement. I will run it again to see if I can catch it.

DaemoneIsos

Then it is firing incorrectly: being prepared in advance, and placing several infantry and cavalry regulars there ahead of time, the failure notice triggers every time. 25 vp isn't much to worry about, but I did want to give you the heads-up. I will recreate it and capture the turns for you to analy...

DaemoneIsos

Is there any way to invest in industrializing New England? Or California? (I can't seem to highlight them on the Economics screen.)

Thanks, -D

DaemoneIsos

Nope, it wasn't a PBEM game after all (that was on a different thread, sorry!) This was just me; I have recreated and captured those files. Let me know if there is anything else that would be useful. I also noted that the "36th State" event in late October 64 has the same problem: tooltip says victo...
