Hi gents, I understand the feeling, but the truth is that we are working full time on the new engine and the new theme associated with it! I believe we will start announcing real meaty things very soon on it, but marketing wants us to have a lot of materials so we can sustain the heavy fire of ques...

This is odd. It is November,1703, and I have looked inside of Warsaw in the Great Northern War scenario. A Saxon Polish army of no less than thirty six units is inside the city, easily the biggest and strongest AI army in the game. Many of the units are cavalry, not exactly ideal for defending a cit...

Thank you for the historical background, it is fascinating, and I learned from it. I do think event chains, as you have suggested, would be the best way to handle this. Though, as you wrote, it would be hard to recreate the whole mess. It would still be a lot of fun to have the Confederation form at...

vaalen

I see your point, and I pretty much agree with you. I do not want the AI to only build historically, for the very reasons you mentioned. But Poland did not have a modern standing army during this war, and most of the Poles saw it as a war of their Saxon King,, and wanted no part of it. The one army ...

I have been testing the latest patch over the last several weeks. I cannot stop playing the Great Northern war, and my gaming time is limited, so I have not played the War of the Spanish Succession. However, while playing the Swedes, I have reloaded the game as the anti Swedish coalition, and paid p...

vaalen

PhilThib, thank you for the improvement to the patch. I very much appreciate your efforts and those of the team to support this game.

Regards,

Since we are now on a similar page Vaalen, do you think the war should be extended past 1716 in this new scenario/grand campaign? If it was, I would feel like I still could have some time to make a resurgence as Sweden after Karl XII has been in the Ottoman lands for several years. I really like th...

vaalen

Another possibility would be to have Karl removed from the game for five years by event if he does not capture and hold Moscow or Kiev by the winter of 1709. This would certainly motivate the Swedish player to invade Russain. Perhaps the Ai could be scripted to have Karl try for these cites no late...

vaalen

Karl XII is beating you if you believe he is too overpowered and want to lock him away five years. He is getting in your head like he did to the Danes, the Russians at Narva, and the Saxons. Actually, I have only played the Swedes so far, and have never lost to Karl. I do not think he is overpowered...

vaalen

It's also interesting to note that Karl actually didn't lose at Poltava either. Due to his leg injury the overall command was held by Rehnskiöld. In any case I think that locking him for 5 years just because of one battle or for failing to capture a certain city would be far too harsh. While I have...

After Poltava, Karl abandoned his still large and powerful army , and decided to go to Turkey to bring the Turks into the war. His army surrendered, without a fight, to a much smaller and weaker Russian force. The plan almost worked. The Turks admired Karl as a great soldier, and hated the Russians....

My experience is that the patches have really improved the game, at least tee Great Northern War, in the game I am playing. The fixes listed seem to have taken place. The armies involved are now quite different from each other, the one battle I have fought so far had more losses, though it was still...

vaalen

I am happy to see this event is in the game. Russai was, and is, vast, and the people had an almost religious belief in the Tsar and the holiness of Mother Russia. The Poles took Moscow in the early sixteen hundreds, but could not control the nation, as most Russians would not surrender, but simply ...

In two turn after Charles lands you can knock Denmark out of the war, which negates the Danish fleet. As Sweden it’s all about speed, and the game has been set up this way to assist in that process as it happened historically. As for the Danish fleet defeating the Anglo-Dutch AND the Swedish fleet?...

vaalen

I think it is crucial to show these differences in the game, but there is an alternative to changing all the values. IN wars of Napoleon, there was an excellent modifier system which made the forces of each major nation unique, with a number of simple modifiers that recreated the tactical differenc...

vaalen

There were very dignificant differences between the tactics used by some of the major nations. For example, the Swedes relied mainly on melee combat, and their fierce charges helped win many victories. The Russians relied mainly on firepower. French combat formations were denser and more vulnerable ...

vaalen

Funny reading all this about "nerf" the Swedes, "They are too strong" etc etc. What do you expect? Sweden had one of the most/if not the most well drilled army in Europe at this time period. The system Charles XI created during his reign was a system that many other countries co...

vaalen

Good and great ideas from you both. Will convey them to the team for an inclusion in the first patch :dada: Thank you. This is another of the glories of AGEOD,, the love you and Pocus have for the games, your willingness to consider ideas from the players, and to respond positively to good ideas, a...

vaalen

Good ideas in this thread but I wouldn't give a trait which would give attrition to Karl. Instead I would give him the old corrupt trait but with a new flavor text. Good point indeed. Now we have to see if this particular trait can be made area-restricted...if not we would make it general and Karl ...

vaalen

This just could be the most beautiful AGEOD game ever, and that is saying something. Two major wars, done with care and great attention to detail. I have not found a single bug. The two wars are utterly different to play, just as they should be. And speaking of great generals, Marlborough, Karl XII,...

vaalen

I agree with Marek regarding the size of the Polish army in the game. And I have some ideas. In preparation of this game, I bought and read a number of sources, including Robert Frosts hugely expensive but very informative work, The Northern Wars, two biographies of Karl XII, written from the Swedis...

vaalen

I am happy to say that the game is indeed available, and I am downloading now!

Quite excited about this one.

vaalen

That is truly wonderful news!

I cannot wait to buy it!

vaalen

That must be so frustrating. I hope this nightmare will end early next year.

[quote="PhilThib"]I was just joking (see the icons), and I had already answered before and above that release was planned in Spring... t I did not ignore your previous answer to this thread, but I think you overlooked which spring was referred to. The spring referred to in your previous an...

vaalen

I started this thread over a year ago.

Still we do not know the release date, or estimated release date.

So I will ask again.

When will this game come out?

vaalen

When will this game be released?

I know I have asked this before, but time continues to march on, and I would really like to know.

As would so many of us.

vaalen

I will post here soon some information about Wars of Succession... the beta is progressing well and the game looks promising. Waiting can be long, but it is not like if the game was postponned for a year or more...we are talking weeks here. I plan also to help the dev team of the game with a tutori...

vaalen

I just wanted to say that i am still faithfully reading and enjoying this AAR. it will be very interesting to see how the Russian colonization of Aden turns out.

vaalen

There some issues regarding terrain that should not be mountains for example. Other regarding names in some region or river. These are to be fixed but I'm more concerned about playability. My short experience is that is not possible to design a map to have everyone happy, and this applies even to s...
