It's a bit of a shame that most of your questions have to do with the American Civil War. May I humbly suggest you broaden the scope in the future? There are more AGEOD games than just ACW and the players come from all over the world. Especially question four seems a bit ludicrous. How is anybody wh...
Orel, since I am not able to convince you, please feel free to ask our host for the savegame and post it here. I think corps/army stack dynamics explain most of the issues you and your partner had with attacks not working out as you expected but I don't mind being proven wrong (besides, I have to ad...
Wow. I remember times before the internet when I didn't know every game I've played is buggy as hell. RUS has admittedly some bugs. But it is certainly not "buggy as hell" at this point. Most of the remaining bugs are minor things. The people who developped this excellent game deserve better! Being...
I have to join the praise. These two scenarios are beautifully done. Great options and flavour events. I had the pleasure of trying both out in PBEMs with Durk (actually we are in our second Pontiac's War PBEM right now). This scenario has become an instant favourite of mine. I love the cut-throat v...
Just in case somebody is interested in creating more portraits for RoP. 2 swedish generals that are using WIA portraits Lantingshausen http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php?title=Lantingshausen%2C_Albrekt Ungern-Sternberg http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php?title=Ungern_Sternberg%2C_Mathias_Ale...
Modded? Only in a way that almost certainly isn't responsible for your CTD. I used two of the fixes I created for bugged options. See here . In my experience modified events hardly ever trigger CTDs. Moreover, I run the turn files I uploaded on a clean install and it processed just fine. Attached is...
I have run across strange occurances with RUS' supply system repeatedly. For a long time, I thought this was simply my ignorance as to its finer workings but increasingly I have come to believe that it is bugged. Now I have finally come across an incident that seems to prove my suspicions. The attac...
The biggest problem is not turn resolution but EPIC SCALE. Just on eastern front you get hundreds of divisions plus aircraft. If you make every unit a division and every stack a corpse than you anyway get almost hundred units for each side and scale is to big: each turn you'd basically try to move ...
Doesn't sound like a problem with administrator rights. Does this happen with every savegame? Have you updated during an ongoing game? Have you modded files? ... Without more detailled information, nobody will be able to give you decent help. You might also want to take a look at the log yourself RU...
It's a tight race between loki100 and Narwhal. :) More than anybody else on the Paradox forums, these two have managed to convince old Paradox player of the merits of AGEOD games. Narwhal's AAR are better than any tutorial. In fact, I don't believe anybody has ever explained the AGEOD system in such...
Take a look at page 79-80 of the manual. With incomplete military control, the region is still contested, your force isn't able to contest a river crossing (same way it isn't able to deny use of the railroad through such a region). The percentages differ though: 76% to deny usage of railways, 91% to...
I am currently playing the Drang scenario in RUS. As far as I know it's the biggest campaign in terms of units on the map ever made in an AGE game. It has convinced me that a WW II simulation should be possible with this engine (something I previously doubted). The engine would need a huge oberhaul,...
RoP would be oustanding as a 3-players game, but I don't think Russia and Sweden can be a player on its own : there is an high chance that Sweden is wiped out early, and a very high chance that Russia is stopped dead in Königsberg by a Prussian player who knows what he does. I would give Sweden to ...
One wild idea(Maybe possible with the changes in the engine) to give every player a sub-faction and implement team play in 7 years war in Europe. :) That is an excellent idea. We know that the engine supports more than 2 players now. Your idea would make for some very exciting new possibilities. Mo...
Some tests later, I can confirm that the Break alliance option isn't bugged . Whether it shows up just depends on some very weird conditions. Namely the Southern White must own Sevastopol, Rostov and Tzaritsyn . I have included an optional file in my small collection of fixes that removes this condi...
Hi Pat, I took a quick look at the WHI alliance events. Some of the script looks fishy to me. This doesn't necessarily mean that it's bugged, though. Am just an amateur at this. :) If I have read the "Break alliance" event correctly, the option only shows if the Southern White own Sevastopol, Rostov...
I've created a thread explaining a method of uploading images and attachments, here . :) Thanks Mae, excellent thread. But the problem I had was with the new AGEOD forum upload feature refusing to upload and giving me a weird error message. I know how to use imageshack & Co. Anyway, I sorted the pr...
I need some help with the new upload feature, please: After I click "add new file", I get a new window that lets me select a file. This works fine and I can browse the files on my computer and select the one I want. But once I click on "upload" I always get an error message: "[IOErrorEvent type="ioE...
I have found one more bugged option in the Drang Campaign: The Germans have the possibility to get the German Kronprinz as a field commander. Currently this option works only partially. The player gets the NM and VP boni associated with the option but the Kronprinz doesn't spawn . The reason for thi...
Nice to see you on this forum loki! :) I am glad lodilefty has already provided you with the answer. You have to remember the trick with the models.cached in all AGEOD games except ACW. While speaking of annoying issues that affect all AGE games, another one is the possibility to force the surrender...
I'll check once more. About the RED message, it did work properly, what you see is just a message that was not properly or correctly translated into the string files (or the translation is there but the text alias has a typo, most likely)... Will check all again soon. Thanks I think I got it fixed....
Playing the Drang Campaign made me realize that this excellent scenario lacked some bug fixing. Unfortunately, the ressource of the SEPRUS team as well as AGEOD are very limited. PhilThib is understandably too busy with other projects and Seb is working very hard on improving the Grand Campaign). Gi...
That's it, for sure !! AJE = Alea Jacta Est :coeurs: At first glance this sounds like a great guess. Unfortunately the latin expression is " alea i acta est " with an "i" rather than a "j" . "Alea Jacta Est" is a heavy metal album. Seems we neeed to keep guessing ... or the developpers are really b...
I.e., you can obtain with patch 1.04 in the Grand Campaign, for example, all six reserve generals for KOMUCH but only with low probability for the latest? I have understood correctly? Yes, I managed to get all Komuch generals in the pool in two PBEMs. Obviously, the number of failed tries increased...
Right now, I made request for additional KOMUCH general 6 times in a row. As it was expected, not a single general appear. What we have here? 6 KOMUCH general in reserve. 30% probability that single general will pass the check. In this case, if the theory of probability does not deceive us, there i...
I don't want to doubt the master but are you sure?
From my experience it takes an average of three reforms to take a region from 0% loyalty to 60%. This would mean that each reform provides roughly +20% loyalty in the area it affects.
Apparently, this is a complex philosophical question. :) But anyway, this feature is not working properly. You can not call it a bug. The essence remains the same. Whether you want to call it a bug or not is not really the question. Like I wrote in the other thread, the real issue is this: There is...
a result I suspect of RUS developers being lazy and selling a game they never even bothered to complete or test properly! My advice would be to download Fatal Years developed by Clovis. The mod corrects many of the games bugs as well as adding many more features. Also you will find Clovis a lot mor...
