Still here! Occasionally check in to see if there's any progress. Hadn't been doing much gaming recently as I was waiting on a new PC to be delivered. It finally arrived on Friday. No time to enjoy it though, as I'm heading overseas for vacation for a couple of weeks. Really looking forward to playi...

It says "invite invalid".

Ah, gotcha, I misread it. I've never gotten far enough into a CW2 game to realize that he was included, haha. Yep, you are making the right call there. I've always thought that for Partisan commanders they shouldn't be included as generals, but as a specific element within their own special unit tha...

StatboyVT

I'm currently working on not only adding the last batch of generals I want included but also changing the stats and seniority of a number of generals. For example: William Clarke Quantrill. Whatever his talents, it strikes me as nonsensical that not only is he one of the more senior Confederate com...

StatboyVT

One thing to note: when I use the "Build Defensive Works" decision, I can make my entrenchment level jump from a 2 to a 4. Which I think is fine, as it simulates building defenses at key strategic points (as the south, I want to hold Norfolk, for example). But...it's also a bit of an explo...

StatboyVT

I think they are all very good, and to have all of them completed is great. That took a ton of work. As far as "time in the field" goes, on paper it sounds like a very good and useful feature.

StatboyVT

Looks good so far. The new art gives it a whole new feel and looks outstanding. I like the 7-day turns, and I feel as if that will make the game play better. But of course I'm only up through mid-June, so nothing is happening yet, haha.

I'm re-installing the game now, as I haven't played it in a couple of years. I'll get some time with it tonight.

StatboyVT

Awesome. I'll give it a try this weekend when I get some down time.

StatboyVT

I'm beginning to contemplate releasing this mod, warts an' all, in the next day or two and then patching up any fixes that are required as time permits. I think it's time this mod saw the light of day. The thing about mods is that even when it seems like they are completed, you can always find some...

StatboyVT

Looks awesome. And it's almost June!

StatboyVT

digging deep into long disused memory cells .. I don't think there is a way to hardwire peace/treaties but I recall you can hardwire a conflict. the agewiki may help find a script you can set up but I'm not so sure that Belgium really was that protected. The Prussians avoided it in 1870 as they fel...

StatboyVT

Just got back from spending a few days in Belgium, and loved it, and now I'm interesting in doing a game as Belgium. Problem is, I've tried it a couple of times before, and Prussia always declares war (and sometimes on The Netherlands, too). Is that everyone's experience, or did I just have bad luck...

StatboyVT

Any rough idea on when this will be released? I'm really hoping for early June, though don't hold me to that :D There's a few things we want to fix up before we release it, and as we both have quite busy personal lives it's often a matter of finding the time to apply ourselves to those fixes. Havin...

StatboyVT

Looking forward to this. Any idea on an ETA?

StatboyVT

Sounds awesome!

The pics look great, and 7-day turns would be fantastic if everything is balanced. My main question is: what is the other "new hotness?"

I believe you can still get the original ACW game on the Matrix website.

StatboyVT

Yep, the mixed brigades is really the main thing that turned me off about CW2. And I agree on 5-day turns. I just said 7-day because it's a clean week, but yes, 5-days would make more sense from a pure realism standpoint. Again on the subject of mixed brigades; were they not a thing in the original...

StatboyVT

My preference for brigade building stems primarily from the fact that I really dislike the mixed brigades so prominent in CW2. I'd also like the flexibility that comes with being able to assemble and disassemble a brigade at my leisure. Also, on the Union side of things, I'd like to be able to recr...

StatboyVT

Still very interested in what y'all think about this, too. I rarely post, and I'll admit that I'm a guy who prefers the original AACW with the Clovis mod. Brigade building in CW2 didn't seem very realistic to me, though it's been a long time since I've played it, so maybe I'm remembering it wrong. ...

StatboyVT

I bought it and have been somehow disappointed in the end. It's as you say Pgr, both parts (strategic and tactical) deserve more attention, more polish. The AI in the strategic part is also very abusable. It certainly doesn't solve all the issues, but the AOM mod (on the mod forum on Steam) makes t...

StatboyVT

It's not a huge deal. I found where to make changes to the Army HQ, but it only changes the cost in the replacement tab. For some reason it doesn't change in the recruitment tab. And yeah, I'm beginning to think the divisional cost is hard-coded, as I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Oh well, ...

StatboyVT

Hopefully some skilled modders start working with that part of it. As an update to this, a pretty major overhaul mod has been released that I feel improves the game quite a bit. It's called the AOM mod, I believe, and it's available in the Steam forum for Grand Tactician. It's getting regular updat...

StatboyVT

Old game I know, but does anyone remember which files to change if I want to mod the cost of forming a division?

And likewise, buying an army HQ. I changed the cost values in the models folder, delete the cache, but when I load up the game the cost is unchanged.

Thanks if anybody remembers.

Thanks for the detailed reports in any case.

Yeah, I'd say that's accurate. It's gotten better I think with the new patch, but still not where it needs to be IMO.

StatboyVT

I love the concept. I enjoy recruiting armies. I enjoy the fact that you don't have access to the best weapons early. Policy decisions, the economy (though it needs a lot of balancing), etc. I like all of that very much. But my favorite Civil War game is the original AACW with the Struggle for a Vas...

Looks like there is an issue with unit 886, if I'm reading the log correctly. In the units file, it's USA General J. Davidson. In the models file, it's something called CMNReserved886. In the uni_alias file it appears to be a USA leader named Mower ($uni_USA_Mower) In the mdl_alias file, it's $mdl_...
