It seems it will be like

Thanks!!!

Reverend Zombie

How do these work for the United States--is the "Ruler" the President? Who is the "Prime Minister", then?

Reverend Zombie

I think the Special Operations have to be the same for each side (not sure, I will check). But the balance of power is more important and I am afraid the Whites do not need to have fewer ressources in this game I understand! My (limited) experience so far is that the Southern Whites don't really ha...

Seb wrote:True... but the game engine did not allow us a more precise system

Could the Whites be limited in the frequency at which they are able to select the operations?

Reverend Zombie

Do the results of the Recruit and Raise Money Special Operations vary according to the population of the region in which they are implemented? An historical problem for the Whites was that they controlled many very sparsely populated regions (Archangel region and Siberia, for example). It does not m...

You and I will playing as Whites (your choice of Siberians or AFSR) against a very good Red player. Approximate 1 turn/day pace. Options: Standard attrition, small battle delay, 50% naval efficiency micromanagement reduction option. No randomized generals. Least-restrictive activation option. *** Pl...

Reverend Zombie

There are filters which remove the troop icons from the map--try CTRL-F3, CTRL-F4, etc., to see if you can get your stacks to reappear.

Reverend Zombie

No we can't. But as Red player, you can (theorically..) sometimes play the ANArchists, and for some historians the Makhnovists or Grigoriev's belong to the Green. At first I thought Grigoriev couldn't belong to ANA, but I discovered some far-right militants (prefering fascism to bolshevism, like ma...

Reverend Zombie

you can play as the Greens, Reds, or the Whites

This quote from the review doesn't seem accurate. We can't play as the Greens, can we?

Reverend Zombie

I fixed the problem by uninstalling the game, reinstalling the game and the latest patch, and restoring back to Turn 11, re-running the turn.

The German Evacuation event fired.

Reverend Zombie

In a PBEM that I am hosting, I receive a critical error when processing Turn 11. The German Evacuation event does not fire.

This is a bit of a game breaker.

Reverend Zombie

I will host. Any requests for game options? Also, what version of the game are you running?

Reverend Zombie

I think we've got our third player (he contacted my via PM). Seb, would you send me a PM containing your email address, please?

Thanks!

Reverend Zombie

Seb wrote:I would also prefer to play the Reds first, if you don't mind. We could change size for another game afterwards

Perfect! We just need one more White player, and we can get started.

Reverend Zombie

I'd like to start a three-player grand campaign, with a pace of ~1 turn/day.

Please post here with your faction preference, and send me a PM with your email address.

Thanks!

(I'm in U.S. Central time zone, fwiw.)

A perfectly logical place to go looking for a RUS game.

Reverend Zombie

Hi all, Is it time to get crazy? I think we should try a 3 player grand campaign of RUS. Slight randomization, heavy move/combat penalty when not activated etc. Are there two others who would like to try? Oh, and i am GMT -5, Eastern Time USA. Michael I'm in! I reside in Chicagoland, so I'm an hour...

Reverend Zombie

I'm actually tempted to organize a 3-way PBEM game...(but I'd probably do so on the Paradox forums) Where would you do it? Paradox lacks a forum for RUS, as far as I can tell, and I could not find a general PBEM forum, either. I will be very happy to be proved wrong about either of these statements...

Reverend Zombie

I haven't tried it yet, but why do you think it wouldn't be fun for the Siberian player? My (limited) reading on the Russian Civil War generated some worry that the action in the Siberian theater would be exciting at first, with the Czech Legion, Komuch, and Kolchak's Coup, but that the limitations...

Reverend Zombie

I'm interested in hearing whether anyone has tried the campaign by e-mail with 3 human players. How are such games working out in practice? In particular, is it fun for the WHITE player who takes the Siberians? Also, are there any logistical difficulties in managing multiplayer PBEM? (I want to fire...

My gripes about the map notwithstanding, I am confident I will love PoN, given AGEOD's track record.

Pax Britannica. One of my favorite games. But I hated the map.

Reverend Zombie

In that case this map is somewhat closer to historical maps of this period compared to the Civil War map ;) . I have seen plenty of 19th century maps and they were actually quite modern looking compared to older maps (certainly not full with cartoon graphics like that Civil War map). I would have p...

Reverend Zombie

Really? I thought that it was ...the feel of existing in that era's combat environment... Ah, but a more historical looking map would be the very thing to increase the feel of being in the era. I understand about trade-offs, limited resources, etc., but the more modern-looking map is less consisten...

Reverend Zombie

I got around this problem by disabling User Account Control on my Vista machine.

(That is, I did not not need to uninstall or go hunting for the virtual directory Vista used to store my AGEOD games.)

Reverend Zombie

I am running Vista with fonts set to 120 DPI (otherwise they are too tiny to read). My resolution is 1920 by 1080.

Some lines of the text in the text window in the first demo tutorial run outside of the window and can be difficult to read against the map per the attached screenshot.

Your post wasn't removed--it's still in the thread where you made it, it's just that you didn't make the comment in the thread you think you made it in.
