Activating Allies

Here's the situation: I'm playing the Ottomans in 1852, and Russia declares war on me. Britain and France declare war on Russia (the Crimean War). Several huge Russian armies bear down through the Caucasans and the Balkans towards Constantinople, eventually depressing Ottoman morale below 70. The Fr...

I have the opposite problem: every time I click on a tap, a label pops up asking if I would like to rename the selected force. I don't want it unless I ask for it. Is there any way I can shut that off?

The same Southerners who feared Federal intrusion on their lives had no problem inflicting it on Mexico fifteen years previous - theirs was the section most enthusiastic about that war. The New England "Yankees" saw that war for what it was. Ditto the Creek and Seminole Wars.

Gees. Yes, blacks served the CSA forces. Thousands of Poles and Russians served in the German armed forces in World War II. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiered for puppet states on the 'Japanese side.' It doesn't change the fact that Poland, Russia and China were invaded and brutalized in tha...

I want very much to play this add-on. After figuring out how to unzip an .rar file, I extracted the Spain Mod into my VGN file. Then when I tried to start the game, I got the following message: "Several errors and have been generated and the application is stalling. Please contact AGEOD or Paradox g...

Forgive my inquiry, and my non-knowledge of Spanish, but I'm very eager to get these new nations on my active playlist. I downloaded the "Spanish Mod 1.02" .rar file, opened it with "Free Opener," I get a list of files - but my game does not pick up on it. Can someone walk me through? Thank you / gr...

An interesting question, and one I've spent much thought on. What always stands out for me is the Central Powers' failure to properly smooze Italy in the years running up to the war, to the point the alliance with Rome was pretty much a dead letter by August 1914 regardless of how hostilities starte...

Play By E-mail

I'm fascinated by both the Great War and this game. My dream on this game is to play both sides, and like a board game, simply mod out or just not do the things I find ahistorical. Right now I'm trying to learn the PBEM mode. I enter my Central Powers war plans and options, and the game keeps tellin...

Nevertheless you can see one of their topedo boats, the Drazki, preserved in Varna, a rare example of a Great War era ship still existant. During the Bulkan Wars it topedoed (but did not sink) the Turkish cruiser Hamidiye . I guess that makes it Bulgaria's USS Constitution. I always enjoyed the stor...

Mosier

Thing that sticks in my craw about Mosier is his depiction of the Somme and Verdun as resounding German victories. If he thinks they were German victories, the Germans of 1916 certainly did not think so. They believed 1916 was a year of barely averted disaster. This perception is why von Falkenhayn ...

I agree, the 1852 Civil War idea is intriging. It would be a more even fight than 1861. It is ironic that the pro-South "doughfaces" Pierce and Buchannan, by keeping the successionists placated until the latter year, gave the North eight years to greatly expand the railroad net, facilitating invasio...

I've just noticed that there -is- a way to turn the AI off with "American Civil War" and "Birth of America II" and play those games hotseat - maybe I'm missing something here?

My Suggestion for Improvement

Well, I've said it about World War I Gold and I'll say it about American Civil War: I'd like a hotseat mode so I can play myself alternate solitare. I just got the game for Christmas and gave it a play yesterday. After doing the tutorial for a half hour, I got impatient and started up the 1st Bull R...

Suggestions for Improvements

Let me say I've wanted to play through a LGG game for some time; but haven't been able to due to space limitations. I just simply have never had the three tables clear that it would take! However, it was my hope to do so on my computer with the help of this intriging and complex program. My suggesti...
