I've only turned off the AI for Hotseat campaigns :thumbsup.

How many of you actually play hotseat campaigns here?

The plan at first manassas was to feint twice at the center and swing round for the main assault at the flank correct? At least that's how I remember the Union strategy to be. EDIT: Didn't notice the picture, where'd you get that from anyway? A better example of a clusterf*** is Shiloh. Of the books...

If you lose, you're learning something, remember young padawan :mdr: . Download the patch also, it helps to get used to the new features early, and they greatly enhance replayability with the stance orders and such. Also, put the engagement delay on long, it's pretty interesting...in a good way of c...

So...is there a link to the rules and how this thing works anywhere? Or am I volunteering for some biogenetic testing of some sort

?

Also, either you or Banks needs to update your AAR thread, I want to see these bold moves of which you speak

The idea just became that much more appealing

You'd have to have loaded the various v1.13e Public Beta updates to understand exactly what I meant by suggesting this be added to the 1861 Campaigns w/KY scenarios and not the original 1861 scenarios. These are separate variant scenarios with a different handling of Kentucky neutrality of the main...

I always thought it was quite entertaining to have to use McClellan, I don't see why pople would place him elsewhere :D ! All you have to do is put him in a position in which the South has no choice but to attack him and you no longer have to worry about attacking :thumbsup: . What would this effect...

dragoon47

Hell, I'll do it...oh wait,"...a 'few GOOD people'!" I guess I'm out :D . Seriously though, I'd do it if I was able to find out how this whole PBEM thing works first, along with any strange "house rules" this game apparently has, I personally think it balances itself out though by historical attriti...

Also, once you start the larger campaigns, play with historical attrition on so you can get used to the idea of keeping your armies near hospitable regions and good supply lines, as much as I don't, I at least know I should

Speaking as n00B_SaUcE myself, I would recommend the following... ⋅ Read the manual. ⋅ Play the Tutorial. ⋅ Read the Wiki. ⋅ Complete the following Scenarios in order: -1st Manassas(Mainly to learn about the new corps/division system until 1862) -Shiloh -Atlan...

I like some of the points being raised here, particularly the ones about the Emancipation Proclaimation and the US election in 1864. I think if the South had been able to prevent either of those, they would have unfortunately won the war. I say unfortunately because of the causes and other things I'...

Wow..............this is..........strange. I.......won :blink: ........ I decided to keep up the siege and I ended the turn and the Wasgington garisson surrendered and I won the game with 161NM compared to the 150NM I need to win, thanks for the advice, if I had given up Washington I would have lost.

Ok, I just got back into this game, I played it for like, 2 weeks when I got it last year and never picked it up again so I forgot everything :thumbsup: ! I decided to start up the Eastern Campaign as the Confederates as a crash course in getting my %^&* kicked but I ended up wanting to finish it, t...

dragoon47

Thanks for clearing that up Gray, I think it's a great idea to tell you the truth, I just got back to this game after far too many college midterms and forms and I must say that I forgot nearly everything already and that's not saying much :D . I'm hoping to finally have this game under my fingers a...

Is each side going to have their corps formations delayed or the division formations delayed? I know that corps weren't used properly at the start of the war, in fact, all I can think of is Johnston's "army" during 1st Manassas...two incredibly oversized divisions, making Johnston technically a corp...

I solved it by separating them, I still don't know why they'd want to be under Buell instead of Grant.

dragoon47

And another person answers afterward, there's no stopping it now

dragoon47

I forgot, do they do that when they're unactivated? Also, it would be in my best interest to concentrate my forces in two or less counties in order to have the entire army converge on a single point of attack right, as they can't move two counties to support a corp?

HP Paviliona1240n, Pentium 4 3.00GHz, 1.99GB RAM, XP Home Edition SP3, 128MB out-of-the-box graphics card and it works fine!

dragoon47

What influences what an army's name will be? Is it based on region, county, area, state? How do I make a corp join a specific army? Does proximity to a certain Army's HQ stack determine which army the corp goes to? I ask because I had some trouble with this in the Shiloh scenario when both Buell and...

Thanks a lot, I found the artist and everything. It's a very interesting peice of artwork I must say.

dragoon47

Ahh ok, thanks for the infomation, that narrows it down a lot more than I thought, especially the time period.

What is Athena's Avatar supposed to be? It looks familiar but I can't put my finger on it.

I just want to know the avatar of the AI that has been destroying my armies since 2007!

dragoon47

I play the South, mainly because they were one of the most...colourful armies of all time. I somewhat prefer their somewhat ragtag clothing over the Union. It just goes to say, it's not the uniform that does the fighting. I also just like to forget causes and play the game for what it is, the past i...

dragoon47

Good to hear something terribly wrong didn't happen...at least code-wise, feel sorry for the corps though.

dragoon47

It's better to group divisions in a way that you would want as an actual CW leader. Which means that if you were the only division able to make an attack or a rearguard action, what would you want? I usually use all infantry except for maybe one sharpshooter element, 4 artilley batteries, and a cava...

dragoon47

I don't have the time to look at the file right now but is there a chance that the enemy garrisons were able to convert the military control under 5% before your corps was able to retreat? As for the edit question I would guess that it's not allowed in the game engine to allow your men to retreat in...

Thanks Jabberwock, you've been a great help these past few posts! My PBEM game was put on hold though for around a week or so, opponent is still learning how to beat me in this same scenario, while I'm at his house! I just hope he does better than I did as the Union...I'll never cross rivers the sam...

well...those results go to show that math does help, but it can't prepare you for something like that up above. At first I was trying to calculate everything, but then it just turned into "send this corps here and this corps here *crosses fingers*" and math went out the window. If I had used math, I...
