Yay we're back

I know it's a fairly quiet place these days, but it would have been such a shame to lose all the knowledge that is gathered here.

They look lovely, even though I can't read the details. One question from a game balance perspective: it seems like quite an increase to what the Don Cossacks start with in the base game. Will the Reds be augmented accordingly or how do you propose to handle that?

I'm still here

Was on holidays, but very much still following this with interest. That said you're not wrong about the level of activity here.

Not addressed to me, but perhaps I can help. I'm not at my computer with the game on it, so this is from memory, but yes: the model files each have one extremely long line with custom names grouped by state. I also once added a Massachusetts Brigade back in and from memory had to create a whole new ...

Oh very nice as well, I've always missed him in CW2. If I may critique very slightly, his neck looks maybe a tiny bit too long. Perhaps you could try moving the (I assume disembodied) head slightly further down?

Otherwise he's great!

A thought, just for ease of identificaiton - is it worth trying to copy the image of the horse behind all cavalry units?

The writing is a bit difficult for me (but that could be an issue with the cyrillic font more than anything else) but I love the clean, crisp, wonderful images!

I'm liking all of your visual changes. Do you know what gameplay alterations you want to make at this stage?

Thanks!

Ooo, I like this. Are you using RUS Gold? I haven't tried this Scenario since the very fist release.

Thanks!

I think they look really good as well! You've clearly put a lot of work into this - I'm excited to see more of this mod. The only constructive criticism I could offer - and it's by no means anything major, just if you want to refine further - would be that some of the CSA Officers still have a backg...

I think they're great. They're not going to look 1:1 identical to the ones already in the base-game, those are slightly more stylized. But I don't think it matters honestly, these will fit in fine.

Honestly I think these are pretty good. If you remove the backgrounds they will look even closer to what we have in-game and will pop out a lot more.

Hi B&T, These look really good! What program are you using for the colorization? I found with the old AACW that I could get a decent enough approximation of the more stylized portraits in that game, but I struggled with the more detailed, more life-like ones in CW2. These are pretty close! -degu...

Hi debtmars, If I may pre-empt Bohemond, who I am sure can confirm one way or another: Unit level in this case means the division, so long as there is a division. I think for game purposes, the game doesn't really differentiate between brigades once they are in a division. So the sub-unit (the regim...

I found a solution, I think :siffle: https://i.postimg.cc/gc3WBhd1/LP2.png Edited the region files located in this folder "Civil War II\CW2\GameData\Regions" with a text editor like Wordpad. 02545Region.rgn, is the lake 02673Region.rgn, is Koney Island From one to the other, added adjacen...

colour me interested :) I've been playing against myself for a long time, if only because other commitments and my general laziness don't really allow me to stick the a regular schedule - I think I've been playing my game for more than a year and I'm still in 1862 :D I'm also a bit of a semi-histori...

deguerra

That's unfortunate :( I don't have any experience with this particular eror, but it has helped me in the past to launch the game via its CW2.exe from its folder (wherever your Steam games are located) and to launch it as administrator (left click on the .exe and choose "Run as Administrator&quo...

I'm afraid I lack the time commitment for PBEM against anyone but myself, sometimes I think my turns end up taking longer than the period of time they historically cover :wacko: As to questions though: I've noticed that (for myself at least) the Southern Whites at the start have gone from being quit...

Just wanted to say I read this with great interest (while also playing my own RUS campaign). Thank you very much for sharing, these AARs are always appreciated.

Ooo, ooo, another AAR

PhilThib is exactly on this line then, with his new wargames from SGS, and who among you are playing them? They don't get that much reviews on Steam, so my guess is not too many. Haha touché Pocus, you got me there. I would say that the SGS games don't quite have the grand strategy scope that I fav...

Couldn't agree more. It's true the old engine was on its last legs and that for reasons of commercial viability an upgrade in terms of functionality and accessibility was no doubt the correct choice, but if I could have whatever I wanted (and I demand no less) then it would be a modern, sleek, acces...

All the best folks. I'm a bit late so I will wish you all a Happy New Year! Durk and I have started playing the tactical Field of Glory game after he beat me at AGEOD's ECW. I keep buying games and not playing them after reading the rules for weeks. I still intend to play them all. I feel that I ge...

Hi Shri,

Haven't experienced it for WON, but try right clicking the .exe and running as Administrator.

With CW2 I still get this crash occasionally, but after 2-3 retries running as Administrator, it will run eventually.

Hope that works for you as well!

Just a quick post to say I haven't been commenting but have been reading your posts with great pleasure. Pictures and stories, especially from later in the game are very interesting. Was it a challenge or did you gain momentum quite early? What were the major conflict areas? Thanks and keep us poste...

Hold on, I once did (for my own pleasure) a database of all the generals that appear. My assumption at the time was that he was supposed to be John Kelly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_H._Kelly , even though the name doesn't match completely and he didn't have a major role. -deguerra

So, been some time since I last posted. Actually had gotten it to work, and had a game a while back that I got to around turn 60. That was fun but then i dropped off for a bit. I tried getting back into the game recently...but it seems that something else is broken. I keep getting this loading erro...

Ah, the crisis manager. A hell to design, so that it was automated while having players input meaningful choices. I don't know if I succeeded in fact! ;) I would be interested to get these screenshots in big, for my archives. It has been a very long time since I saw the PON crisis manager in action...

Hi BnT, I've been following these discussions but haven't responded as yet. I like the initiative, but I find it hard to whittle my musings down to a "this" or "that" set of options, so here goes: I understand Pocus' statement that a more complex setup for a potential CW3 is unli...

Hi Turbo, I sure can, but Captain Orso already did it better than me (this is for CW2, but the principle is exactly the same for RUS): PBEM = Play By EMail This is directly from the manual, updated by myself to fit to the current game. Play by Email (PBEM ) CW II can be played against another human ...
