There are several problems with the upgrade and force pools. My understanding is the 1850 tech (the one that fires for most factions at the game start) should not generate an expansion in available units. i also think this was dealt with in the last patch. Now I think, the 1870+ techs are meant to i...

its really good, it works dynamically, it gives a fair degree of interaction. Can sometimes be a bit odd but I'd tend to see that as reflecting the sort of misjudgements that rulers/states might make in reality.

maybe they were less aware of the game mechanics and thought you were correct?

I think Siam is one of those regions that you can't directly colonise, its akin to the modelling of Egypt and Persia in the game. If you are not facing rebellions, then there is an advantage to the status quo. The population in your conquered territories want to buy your goods, so if you can produce...

no its good, inflation increases the costs of structures, so if you have say 10% at 1000 money building now costs 1100. If I recall, negative inflation doesn't reduce the cost below the baseline but even so its a bit of slack you now have in the system.

If I recall, it may well settle out all wars with Russia, France and the UK including any extra ones that are going on. In my game it stopped a war between Prussia and Sweden (though that might have been coincidence). If so yes, mod the event so its not white peace = all or a similar syntax. But the...

There is a mod for Pike and Shot that updated it for 19C battles. I realise on the AGEOD board this is near heresy, but the older Forge of Freedom (from Matrix) actually has a very nice tactical battle engine. The developers used it as the basis for the truely excellent Brother against Brother tacti...

glad it works :) the reform decision is one of the 4 that comes up with the citizenship option. The first two help push people to your ethnic group but the third knocks 20% off your accumulated govt age (at the risk of loss of a progress token). Once you are glorious and tier III this is a real bonu...

Nope all those decadence but loyalty buildings are key to survival. I started very suspicious of them but worked out from a game up to around T350 that they were contributing something like 5% of my actual decadence. In part as I was offsetting with the eduction/court buildings but it surprised me. ...

for the AI it seems pretty random what the Antigonids do. its a tricky start as your capital is vulnerable, you have a load of wars so need money and its hard not to slip to old (& thus trigger the Diadochi mechanism of province loss). But if they survive, then its a very well placed faction. it...

usually the worst regions for the culture-decadence ratios are going to be on the edge of your Empire. Now if this is the case but they are only low on decadence not worth doing much, but some can be high (especially if you have captured a relatively large pop region recently). So, can you encourage...

loki100

done it a few times. There are two solutions and you need to pick your route: a) embrace it, reduce culture, pick up the -5 tokens, get the revolt, revert to stable/tier II and rebuild. There is a lot to recommend this, as you can invest in your army and gain a lot of legacy on the way to the madhou...

anything will be on the new engine, remember that AGEOD is now effectively just one person so I really doubt any work on the older games (unless others pick up the licences etc). The advantage of the new game engine compensate for this, there is support for elements such as MP, graphics etc from els...

loki100

have you improved your civilisation level? That sometimes removes some units from your buld list - not played the British so this is a guess based on other tribal starts

loki100

yes, its just an alternative (slightly more expensive) early development option, but the underlying terrain remains in place

I think there are some oddities to the 1880 set up files, but it was in the middle of a long depression so it maybe realistic. Some rough and ready generic advice. You want spare PC, not least to build out every coal resource you have - its going to be in massive demand as fleets convert from sail a...

Gathering darkness: November 1859 Part A - Paris Tsar Alexander sat in the well lit study. Although it was now approaching dawn, the lights of Paris still burnt brightly. In the distance, he could even still hear revellers making their way to the next bar .. or maybe home. He reached for the brandy...

its your military experience - you can see this under modifiers. You want at least a score of 1. that means you have an average of 4 level 1 military buildings for every region you own. This can be made up in different ways as a level 1 building counts as 1, level 2 as 2, level 3 as 3. Get the ratio...

loki100

meant to add, don't forget that the ratio of military buildings has an effect too. So if you are below 1, it'll reduce the average quality, get above 4 and you get another improvement in the chance to get better leaders

1 - at a guess, are you bringing enough cavalry. The edge slots are cavalry only (4 in open terrain, 2 in hills and if I recall 8 in the desert). An infantry only army is going to be outflanked. You actually need more than 4 cavalry in case of losses (common in the early game) 2 - again guessing - a...

loki100

It does - but its random. The % is in the game files (I don't have them on this laptop so can't double check). You'll still get complete dross even with a couple of these buildings, but you also get more so statistically better chance of at least some decent commanders.

you can find them in the buildings database. They are roughly in clusters in Greece/Asia Minor, Egypt, Babylonia and then some scattered about NW Europe. For Rome, I think they tend you to a Greece-first strategy, at the moment there is rarely much of a reason to go after Carthage. Ok weakening them...

sort of. A lot of inventions require you to uncover the lower one, but its mostly very linear - discover one type of rifle, start a new one. given you have so little control (speed is related to nation type and loosely to average education level) its something that goes on mostly in the background. ...

oddly I'm finding Russia more forgiving on the economic side than Italy. I think the difference is that Russia can cope with 'good enough' so its a case of some broad interventions in terms of import/export, keep an eye on the coal and mfg goods stocks and try to build up capital for investments. Wi...

actually its one of those games that works well SP. Give the AI some judicious advantages and it does ok at economic management, its got a bit better at naval war in the final patch and its ok at army stack building. You have to avoid mercantalism in your own economic game play, its up to you to pri...
