Tried it again with all combinations. With your borderless one only the tip of the stack panel icons show, with all the others where that is fine the problem remains. Probably due to text size. What size is your windows font set to? I've been messing with resolutions and font settings a lot these p...

Thank you for the explanation about supply, don't recall seeing the multiply tool-tip supply by five before (but of course may have just missed it) so this is really valuable information. -C Rule 10.2 covers supply production, the 5 points per chit (I’ve been referring to chits as supply levels, th...

Why don't you build a depot where Pompey is sitting? You own the province, so you can keep building a massive depot rather than shuttle wagons around, right? The city already has a level 4 depot (max allowed), so I can’t increase it any further. I’m in sort of a dilemma as Pompey is strong enough t...

James D Burns

Thanks for the great answer - I managed it also even though supply was short with building level 4 depots ;-D What do I need to do to gain a major victory - I had conquered all objectives and even invaded Rome as Pontus - but still only a minor victory at the end...? It's all about time and options...

You need to remember supply carts eat supply too, lots of it. It is far better to burn 4 carts and create a level 4 depot in the region you are trying to defend then to keep the carts on map once their supply is used. I generally never have more than 2-4 carts with a big army as the increase in supp...

Octavian vs. Anthony gets my vote, but make it 10+ years long as I doubt a large decisive naval battle will occur very often in most games. You could create lots of what if events to get most of the other nations on map in play as well, it could rival Caesar vs. Pompey in scope. [ATTACH]35009[/ATTAC...

Is it too much? Well i would say it is too much but whole aje operates with too big numbers. All cesariaon legions are full while in reality they were in half of their TOE. All ather scenrios in this game show armies as if they were big as Polubius described. And other ancient historian. And my gue...

I played the Ottomans once, but it was a while back and I don’t recall many specifics. I do remember I went after the Arabian Peninsula as my first colonial target. There are some gem sites there that can greatly help your internal happiness once developed, so focus on those as early goals. Early ga...

Could be lacking in resources or possibly the resource isn't available yet. Rubber and Oil both appear later in game, there might be others. The 1880 scenario is a good one to load up to check a region to see if it has any resources available. I think most if not all possible resources are already s...

You are completely forgetting Rome's main advantage, cheap manpower. If Rome can accumulate a huge number of infantry replacement chits, it won't matter if they then lose fights between the main armies in Italy, just so long as they don't lose a lot of units. Just keep hitting Hannibal every chance ...

Hi, guys. Good advices by James, but I must correct him in one thing: Ageod games ARE WEGO (each player plans his actions and the turn is resolved simultaneously), not IGO-UGO. Cheers Yes of course it is, after reading that first paragraph I have no idea what the hell I was thinking at the time... ...

May have some special needs to allow it then (Pre-existing high development levels or Major roads perhaps?) because I am not allowed to build RR's in Siam even though I've maxed out Rice, Opium and Fruit farms for them.

Jim

James D Burns

The game isn’t a WEGO system and has no intercept function in it, so you can’t really play it in terms of following around an enemy’s army with any hope of causing him to change his tactics based on a strategy like that. He will always be able to move past your army in a IGO-UGO sy...

James D Burns

just to report, this change removes the T1 assassination and immediate wars etc. Many apologies for missing it (or more strictly for managing to delete a line) One other chain that was breaking was the Indian Mutiny. Thanks to James Burns for spotting this one. If you make it fire on T1 it works as...

James D Burns

Just a guess, but it's possible the last power to play a card is placed in the highest position. Try playing a bribe card or something and try and time it so it fires the turn just before the protectorate finishes. Then again loyalty and/or highest prestige value makes more sense to me, though I can...

Don't forget he's coded all the AGEOD titles, so having a little brain overload spill out his ears is more than understandable. Not to mention the fact he coded this title many years ago, at abou...

Keep trying till the card sticks. It's a percentage chance it succeeds and I think difficult terrain like jungle has the lowest chance for the card to succeed, so it may take 10+ tries, it's all up to the die roll gods. Remember though, the unit must remain adjacent after the card sticks or the helm...

Don't know for sure what it might mean, but late makes sense. But that is just a guess I pulled outta thin air.

I think it auto-cancels if your stockpile drops to zero during the turn due to internal market consumption. Make sure you have excess items over and above your usage numbers and only sell that. I compare my ‘initial balance’ line (top row) with my ‘overall balance’ line (bottom row) and sell all but...

I’m basing my logic on what I saw with my logging cards in my current game. I built all my tier 1 logging cards and then they upgraded to tier 2 and 11 new tier 2 cards immediately became available to build when no logging cards were there the turn before. Then what I assume was due to population in...

The strategy I’ve laid out is an opening strategy only designed to get your private capital into healthy status so you can build up your economy. So for example at game start Britain is lucky to get 1 farm built every few months or so. In my game now (1860) I’m up to a point where I can build one or...

'B' is the buy screen, it allows you to buy items from other nations using the trade markets (hover mouse over individual items to see what is on offer, left and right click to place and remove orders). Most other nations will cancel at start orders and offers so takes a turn or two for the offers t...

Been playing as Britain recently and have found a few things out that I figured all the recent new players might like to know. First some old tips. To get your economy up and running I recommend players do the following in the opening turns of their game: Turn all of your industries off, stop all tr...

The historical battles of maneuver aren’t possible with this game system I don’t think. The size of the regions and turn length scale make it impossible for a large army to shadow/parallel an opposing army on the move the way the Union army did leading up to Gettysburg. The Union had no ...

There appears to be an issue with the Crimea events as of the latest beta patch. As Britain the Crimea event fired and the Ottomans diplomacy screen says it’s offering a defensive treaty to France and Britain but there is nothing for me to respond to on Britain’s diplomacy screens. So as the event c...

Just scenarios, though the 1880 scenario adds a lot of excess production capacity on map (lots of extra factories for everyone) to help all nations, so it is unique among the DLC in that regard, but it only effects the 1880 scenario it does not change the 1850 campaign.

1) Collection centers do not upgrade, they have a specific purpose in game and cannot be exploited in any way to generate extra cash other than the one dollar they produce. 2) I don’t think loans will ever make it into the game, it would probably be a good idea for AGEOD to edit the mention of...

That'll work too, much clearer and far more concise and doesn't sound as awkward as what it has now.

[ATTACH]33990[/ATTACH] I would change this text to read one of the following ways. Option one if all bonuses apply to all element types: The unit possesses a defensive and mobile firepower that impedes enemy reaction: +1 Initiative bonus in battle and a bonus of 15% to the fighting value when it is ...

James D Burns

I’m bumping this old thread because I noticed the roll-over text for the different armor buffs has been changed. It now refers to benefitting divisional elements. This is new language for an AGEOD game. In the past it has always been ‘stack’ or ‘unit’, the term ‘d...
