I forgot about the autogarrison event. This pretty much confirms the original event syntax is incorrect as you stated above. Yes, and there are at least twenty-five instances of the same bug, where a region is unconditionally picked and the next line has a CondSkip, in the "CSA Leader" file. I just...

There has never actually been a complete manual for event codes, though it has been requested more than once over the last 2 years. Recently there have been some postings into the Wiki however. You may/may not have stumbled onto something however... but to clarify the use of the statement: SelectRe...

I recently had Forrest show up in a Union owned Fort Donelson (Stewart, TN), even though the Confederates still owned many cities in Tennessee. Why did this happen? Obviously, because that's where the computer was told to put him. Forrest's arrival is caused by the following event, in CSA Leaders: S...

I am also a new player, playing my first game (its up to March '62), and it is going very well. Based on my experiences, three things: 1) Immediately go for full Mobilization. You will need those men. I would have gone for exceptional taxes, as well, but too late. 2) Militia does not seem to upgrade...

Or, "Mistakes I made my first game of AACW in 1861." I have completed 1861 in my first full game of AACW. There were a few 'games' of a few turns which I started just to learn the interface, and one game that I aborted when the Confederate Army of the Potomac marched on Pittsburgh. I restarted with ...

Thank you for your replies. One more question: If one rails a general, or a group of generals, will they suffer attrition hits? Since one hit kills a general, this is mildly important. I am, in particular, thinking of the generals one gets at the start of each year--can one rail them out of where th...

You might try adding something like this to one of the event files: SelectFaction = $CSA StartEvent = evt_nam_MyNoSuddenDeathModCSA|1|0|NULL|NULL|$Richmond, VA|NULL Conditions MinDate = 1861/04/01 Actions SetMoraleLevels = 0;500 EndEvent And a similar event for the Union. This won't quite do it, sin...

Winter has come, and I have some questions about attrition. 1) The manual states some mitigating factors ("Attrition is slightly reduced in civilized regions (x 0.9), if there is a Supply Wagon present in the Stack (x 0.9) or if units are entrenched (x 0.8)."), but it does not state what rates these...

Regarding the other questions... yes i've seen the AI move her capital on a couple of occasions when Richmond was in danger. Not on 1.15 but before (haven't played much lately). In my current game (1.15), Athena moved her capital when Richmond wasn't in danger. I had moved a large army adjacent to ...

Incorrect assumption. In this specific case the missing NULL does in fact affect the conscript announcement but don't ASSUME that in every case there is supposed to be a Regional Name in that field EVERY time. The conscript event DID NOT have any specific units to zero in on and therefore should ha...

Playing the Union in the April '61 w/Kentucky campaign solo, at the end of my Early June '61 turn the reinforcement screen said the expected number of conscripts for next turn was 89. When I did the next turn, at the end of the turn the top display did say 89 conscripts -- for about a second. Then ...

[LEFT]Reading old posts, I found several that said that a unit does not receive replacements if it is moving, and could not find any that contradicted that statement This may be true if a unit has a continuing move; I do not know. However, if a unit starts the turn stationary, but is ordered to move...

Thank you. A Confederate force outside the city is _exactly_ what happened, and I had not realized it. Seems silly of the Confederates to me. I now have exactly 95% military control of Richmond. From what you just said, if I leave my forces on defensive posture, I will fight any enemy outside of Ric...

I had thought that any time one had units outside an enemy controlled city or fort one automatically besieged it. Several times in my current game I have had a small force outside an enemy held town, and have gotten a message saying that I had besieged the town but had obtained no result. (Which is ...

Hi! So that 89 conscripts are the net sum for the next turn?? I mean, what remains after subtracting all your planned expenses?? It's that number what you see on that neat table you have on the ledger that tells you your planned production/expenses of $, WS and conscripts?? :confused: A possible re...

Courtenay

I believe that I, or rather, the computer, had already counted my replacements and reinforcements. That is my understanding of what the "planned balance" provided on the reinforcement screen (and four others) is: the number of resources one is expected to have next turn, after adding expected gain f...

The CSA Chassuers Afrique event, in the CSA Events file, v1.15, reads as follows: SelectFaction = $CSA SelectRegion = $Philadelphia, PA StartEvent = evt_nam_CSA_ChasseursAfrique1862|1|2|evt_txt_USA_ChasseursAfrique1862|Event-img_USA_ChasseursAfrique1862|$Philadelphia, PA|13 Conditions MinDate = 1862...

If one moves a stack to a region that contains stacks, is there any easy way to tell if you've clicked on one? All too often I have found stacks chasing others in unexpected directions. One can tell if one has clicked on a stack coming from somewhere else, because the tooltip will say that stack is ...

Courtenay

Thank you. I had not realized that support units (except artillery) could be hit in a large battle; my understanding of how combat worked was flawed. However, I am going to _not_ rebuild my supply units in the current game, and see if this has any ill effects. Eventually (very eventually) I will rep...

Courtenay

In the initial mobilization, both sides have damaged support units: an Army HQ and lots of supply units. Is there any reason to buy replacements for these units? Or does a damaged HQ or supply unit do just as good a job as an undamaged one? A damaged supply unit carries just as much supply as an und...

Courtenay

Thank you. It turned out to be a trap in a strange way: The whole Confederate Army of the Patomac charged off to try and take Fort Monroe, leaving Richmond wide open. Even if this strange event had not happened, I think it would have been worth holding Norfolk, because that area provides a wonderful...

When one has multiple stacks with multiple commanders in a region, it is clearly possible to exploit the activation rule by moving subunits from unactivated to activated commands. Doing this seems very 'gamey', though. How do people handle this, versus either humans or the AI? Sometimes, it strikes ...

On Sunday (two days ago) I downloaded the 1.15 patch and started an April '61 Campaign scenario, w/Kentucky. To my surprise, the CSA has not taken an undefended Norfolk as of the start of Early June. The only things that I can imagine are that either the Confederates have been unable to activate a l...
