Hi, I have not bought the game but are considering to do so. Does your discussion imply that every nation has their own victory conditions. I prefer a game with a defined goal over an open game.
Thanks.

You might know already but do not attach a marine unit og any other amphibious unit to a single division. If just attached to divison it will only help this division. If attached to a Corps it will speed up river crossing for the entire corps.
Cheers!

After selecting a unit containing artillery in the unit box on the bottom of the screen... look to the unit panel on the bottom-right corner, if you click on the Artillery's icon (the small box with the circle inside) it will bring up a window with a larger picture of your cannons, as well as all o...

Just a question from a novise, how do you know defence, attack and range of a cannon? Can't say I have found that kind of information anywhere. In the reinforcement panel only a strengt value is visible, for my eyes that is.

Tordenskjold

No problem now, solved with the latest patch. Thanks!

Tordenskjold

Factors I can think of - Terrain, including mud and harsh weather - Cohesion - Exceeding CP penalty - Frontage (how many units can attack at once) - affected by terrain and some other rules - March to guns - Corps in the same army can march to adjacent regions making it a smaller force much larger ...

Corps commander adds +5% to the entire stack for every skill level he has. Division / brigade commander add +3% to all elements in his unit. So an element inside a division (leader 3-4-1) in a 5-4-1 Corps leader with no CP maluses gets a + 32% attacking and a +8% defending. If a 10% CP malus not su...

Thanks a lot everyone. So to sum this up: Every general counts in the hierarky, but to which extent is not clarified but might be found in other treads, right? Hints about where, is most welcome? When attacking into an area where on does not have military controll, every force with an unactive gener...

Tordenskjold

As Rafiki pointed out, if you had enough military control in a region, your stance doesn't necessarily change. But if you had a military contol below 5%, your stance automatically changes to attack during the resolution phase (not in the movement phase, you won't be able to seet this change visuall...

Tordenskjold

This might be about frontage, or what the expression is. How many units does actually front the enemy in a battle? Maybe you should open a new thread about that or examine other treads. My question still stands . I experienced yesterday that a non active general of mine entered a enemy controlled ar...

Sorry, of course I am talking about the "e" version. Never had problems with redeployment before, but you say that one have to isolate the unit to deploy entirely? Can't check since I am not by the game at the moment.

Tordenskjold

Divisionals affect their division, corps affect their corps (and the divisions therin) and Army commanders give bonuses to their corps commanders and any troops directly under them. Inactive (I believe) only affects offensive actions. Thanks, about question 1. how do you know? Is this written anywh...

Tordenskjold

Hm, after the last patch 1.09e or something, I can't redeploy any general or HQ. I could before. Though they made a change in this patch because it was unrealistic. Not?

When an Army are organized into Corps containing a number of divisions, which officer counts during battle? For instance the Army general might have 1-1-2 skill, Corps general 3-1-1 and the division general 5-4-3. 1. In what way does the lover Corps and Division generals skills counts i battle and m...

Well Evren if you are correct, it seems the case is closed. Thanks! Well a little to fast: Rafiki wrote: " When you enter a region entirely controlled by the enemy, you are automatically switched to offensive posture". Does the statement mean that if I play the Feds this applies when I enter a regio...

Tordenskjold

Thanks for your assistanse everyone! It seems all units are affected. What I don't get is: What difference would it make if the out of command % is 15 or 35? I mean, If 15% affects all units, what kind of difference would 35% make? Remember, the message was: "At the start of the combat, there where ...

Clovis wrote:So Rafiki is right: 15 is the malus percentage and not the number of units out of command.

Yes, I have never said otherwise. But, the Battle Resolution Screen claims that EVERY unit was out of command. You see?

Tordenskjold

If all your units suffer even a 1% command penalty, they'll get listed in the BRS as having command problems. You say that when you entered the battle, 15% of the Union troops were out of command; are you sure that it wasn't that the Union stack had a 15% command penalty? The exact phrase in the BR...

Tordenskjold

1. Well, if it had been the other way round (Union backfire; CSA success), you probably would've been whistling all the way to the bank ;) 2. OK, I still think it's possible to have such a shift based on options; if you are under in VP and NM, that can cause another 2 points in your disfavor as wel...

Tordenskjold

If you looked at that stack, did it show a "%" in red? If so, you did not have enough command points for the stack. You had the same number of generals for 50% more troops. So that would make sense that you had some out of command issue. Thanks for trying to help out, but seems you missed crucial i...

Tordenskjold

Late December is a turn when political options can be played; -36 seems a bit much, but if the Union has success with their "blockade"-option and your "embargo"-option backfires, you can see a large shift in foreign entry. The game log should show this. Which level did you choose for "foreign entry...

Tordenskjold

When you enter a region entirely controlled by the enemy, you are automatically switched to offensive posture. IIRC, what the BRS says (or at least, what it means) is the 15% of your units suffered command penalties, which is different from being entirely out of command Thanks very much for your cl...

Playing CSA, FEL was 39 i December 1861. In January 1862 it is down to 3! Se attachement. Can't be right can it?

This is a rather important issue but I have not been too concious about this earlier.

Tordenskjold

Playing the Union in a PBEM game I ordered my force to approach Winchester. Order was blue-blue, hence I was no commanding them to attack, but defend 2 turns. My forces counted 34.000 and CSA had 22.000 (reveiled in the battle resolution screen (BRS)) The battle ended i catastrhopy for the Union. 87...

Actually, it was zipped...the weird thing is that the previous .trn files from this particular PBEM game, which of course were fine in the past, are now not any longer visible on the 'load game' listing. I am thinking a saved game config file, or a specific file to this PBEM game, may be the proble...

I've wondering about this too; I had a small, but decent force stuck in the fort in the plains up north (don't recall the name right now) that was besieged by a small force of Indians. I wanted to try to lift the siege by attacking with the besieged force (seeing as reinforcements were too far off ...

I see in these posts that frigates are recommended as blockade runners. If only brigs and transports have a transport capacity, why would one bother with frigates? That is a very good question. Any documentation, screenshot of message for instance that would prove the frigate/brigg issue are most w...

Hi Doomwalker, we would very much appreciate to be informed about the result of you experiments. Don't seem to have the time myself right noe

In a PBEM game I'm playing the enemy is besieging me. I have a decent lot of troops, and don't think he will beat me in battle. What I am wondering is: If I don't react will the walls brake and will he eventually just take over my city while my troops dissappear? If yes, is the way to avoid this to ...
