which is current version?

I have the steam version - which is 1.03.01. There's no possibility of opting in to betas on steam. Can someone tell me - is the 1.03.01 the most up to date version, including betas, or is there a later beta available? Many thanks.

Re: Poll. To be or not to be hexed.

I loathe hexes and would stop playing if these games ended up with a hexy, unnatural map. Unless you could switch them off, of course - but even then it would still be awful if terrain features followed the (invisible) hex lines making the map look all jagged and contrived. JTS games are like that a...

blockade question

How do I know whether my flotilla is powerful enough to blockade a port? And what is the precise mechanics? I'm playing the Union. For instance, if I station a flotilla in Hampton Roads sea region (where Ft Munroe is located - I also control Ft Munroe) then that should blockade James City harbour, n...

Tips for GNW please

Any experts care to share tips for fighting the GNW as Sweden? I'm in the beginning of the second year of the GNW only, Denmark out due to Travendal. But I lost Narva at the beginning of last winter (to Golitsyn) and Riga is heavily besieged by a significant Polish force. I have enough to deal with ...

viewing numbers of men

Can anyone help? I notice that, instead of combat power I can read off the numbers of men, horses, guns etc in a stack if I hover over the little division symbol for any card in the stack (in the bottom bar stack inspector, I mean) - I mean the little Nato-type symbol in the top right of the card.

Re: Chaine de commandement (Armée, corp) et marche au son du canon

Pas de 'march to the sound of guns'....Est-ce que cela signifie que, si on a 2 stacks dans le meme region et qu'il y a une bataille (et meme quand les deux stacks sont mis en offensive) la bataille ne sera que contre 1 d'entre eux - jamais? Et il n'y a rien a faire pour changer ca (sauf combiner les...

Many thanks for the full and thoughtful response and tips, Col Marbot. Much appreciated. It's reassuring to hear from someone more or less happy with it, as - you're right - I've mostly heard complaints.

terrain anti-saturation mod?

Can anyone recommend a mod to tone down the saturated terrain colours? Many mods here seem to have inactive links now. Or is there an easy way to change the colour tones myself?

Thanks.

Is the AI game worth trying?

I've never played past ten moves in the game. I love the map and the look of it. I would really like to play a good Napoleonic game, but have seen various issues hinted at, in these forums and elsewhere, a propos of the enemy AI performance in the longer campaigns. Can those who have been there, see...

Can anyone enlighten me as to the uses smaller ship types might be put to? I mean brigs, ketches etc. Not riverine transport - I understand what they're for. But smaller ocean boats, and the smaller boats on inland seas, and lakes. As I understand it, shore bombardment only happens (by selecting the...

which version is current

Sorry to ask this (again, think) - but I had to reinstall and now I'm unsure which version I should be on. After using the matrix updater I am on (according to the credits screen) version 1.01. Is this the most up to date version?

Thanks.

Re: English Civil War update to 1.03a

Just bought the game and the matrix updater says I'm up to date. In the credits it says version 1. What should I do? Can I manually update 1.03a and apply over version 1, or do I need other patches installed first?

which patch is most current?

Which patch is current? Through the Matrix autorun screen update option I have 1.02. Does this include 1.03.01 - the beta - or should I install the 1.03.01 beta over 1.02? I only ask because in the past a later numbered beta was included in 1.02, I believe.

Thanks.

Re: Is just playing scenarios - e.g. Borodino any good

Sorry, I meant - where do I find 1.03.01. I thought I was up to date, but clearly I'm not - my version, updated through the matrix version, says 1.02. But I can't find 1.03.01 anywhere. Where is it?

No. Good to call me out, Marek1978. Thanks. I would hope that whenever people use offensive stereotypes they are called out if people are offended. The points have all been noted! :)
