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.
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...
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.
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...
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 ...
Hi Turbo, Assuming you know how PBEM works generally, it's really quite simple: the red player loads up the game as the RED faction and does their turn as normal and saves. The whites player loads up the game as the WHI faction and does their turn and saves and then also loads up the game as the WH3...
I played an earlier version, but I've yet to give his latest update a crack. I have an old 'vanilla' game against myself going and it's hard to find the time even for that mostly. But I definitely want to check it out, I think it's amazing what he's done!
Aww yeah - kickin' along alright just about describes it A little sick of this whole pandemic thing now, but getting through it (with the help of some good AGEOD games against myself). How's Australia going?
Hi grimjaw, Now I want an omlette :D But seriously you're doing amazing work here and I hope you know that it's appreciated. Incidentally a question: I've been playing myself (sigh) in a lockdown game of CW2 and finally snapped with regards to the nonsensical leader spawn dates, ranks and auto-promo...
