Here are the changes I made to correct the problem. Open the GrandCampaign Events file. Do a find search to locate "setcapital" Find "SetCapital = $Kiev;3" , Change to "SetCapital = $Kiev;1" Continue find search till you locate: "SetCapital = $Huliaipole;2", change to "SetCapital = $Huliaipole;1" Sa...

Baris, I set up a test myself. Basically I had the southern whites capture 5VP whiite capital Ekaterinarod, then abandon it and allow the reds to recapture the white capital. When the whites captured their own capital, it appears they only gained 5NM/5 EP plus an event appears to have given them an ...

Jagger2013

I think we may have a fix. I will let you know as soon as I know. I don't have a problem with 3xVP for NM gains for most capitals but not Kiev or Hualiaipole.

I also think a sudden death Red victory at 130 national morale is too low.

Jagger2013

Below is the parameters for the setcapital script. What exactly does the coefficient affect? I suspect it is a multiplier to the city VP value for NM gain. Parameters RegionAlias String; Alias for the region where the capital should be. Value A coefficient attached to the capital (to the objective v...

What happens if you don't promote a general within a turn, is the general loses a point of seniority which means he is no longer elgible for promotion.----Maybe but it is a universal trait, so probably a settings somewhere. If anyone finds it, let us know. Actually the modder may have done it anoth...

Jagger2013

Turns out the 30 NM gain was not a bug. In normal RUS, it seems you gain 1 NM boast for each VP of an important city. Somehow the FY modder left the smaller cities providing a 1-1 NM to VP boast while for cities of at least 5 VPs, he changed the ratio to 3-1 NM to VP boast. So capturing 10 VP Kiev p...

In a current PBEM, I just received a sudden death national morale victory in RUS FY. However it appears there was a bug. I captured Kiev and received 30 national morale points. I am pretty sure it was intended to be 3 national morale points rather than 30. My opponent and I would like to just ignore...

The commanding general needs to be active to use the offensive posture. If he is inactive, he will have a brown envelope. Active generals have a white envelop.

Anything good covering Turkey in WW1. I know they fought against the Russians in the NE and the Brits in Syria/Egypt as well as Gallipoli. Maybe the Balkins as well?

Jagger2013

In effect, make a predesignated direction of movement as attractive as 'province moved from' in the algorithm? Why allow an algorithym choose the direction of retreat when a player could make that choice? As far as I can see, the algoritym choses a direction of retreat and then executes the move. I...

Jagger2013

Having said that, I'm accepting of wierd outcomes sometimes. There are plenty of examples of simple mistakes in most wars, and for a pre-modern army, managing a retreat from battle was one of the most challenging phases to handle effectively I have done the same thing for a long time. Weird things ...

Jagger2013

We had huge discussions about retreating in beta. There are a number of issues that cannot be coded to meet all situations such as the game has no concept of which direction stacks are facing when in battle, which should dictate in which direction they would retreat. I just wrote up a suggestion la...

Jagger2013

Also, it sounds like everything I said was wrong.

I can only guess each scenario has a set of the model/unit database attached which can be modified as the game plays out. Something must happen because random leadership for generals wouldn't work without modifying the database.

Jagger2013

Ok, I just did a search. What happens if you don't promote a general within a turn, is the general loses a point of seniority which means he is no longer elgible for promotion. That same process happens in RUS but not in the RUS Fatal Years mod. So that suggests there is an on/off switch for whether...

Jagger2013

But would it be more realistic that way? I kind of like the challenge of decision. After a glorious battle, it is nice you have to decide for the promotion of that General/Admiral in the next 15 days (average turn for AGEOD games). If not, the steam and political will may have been lost. But no wor...

Jagger2013

My understanding is for a general to have an ability, the ability must be listed for the general in the unit/model database. The model/unit database is fixed. An ongoing game will not make changes to the model database. It is read only from the database, no writing, I believe. So you could give a ge...

Jagger2013

I don't know how it was done, but it was done in the RUS Fatal Years mod. Once promoteable, a general can be promoted at any time later. So it is definitely doable.

http://www.ageod-forum.com/forumdisplay.php?108-The-War-room Here is the forum for all AARs for AGEOD games. There is one section for BOA and another for BOA2. You will need to go though the various theads to find the ones on French and Indian War. And IMO, you can learn a lot from just one good AA...

Jagger2013

Sorry, it has been too long since I played the scenario to give advice. I do remember the Brits having some difficulty at the beginning but having the numbers to swamp the French eventually. Have you checked out any of the After Action Reports on PBEM French and Indian games? You can learn a lot fro...

Jagger2013

Wow, that is one sharp looking image. Well done!

Jagger2013

For the futur if the code can do more one parent-child relationship can be very good. I agree. And I think whether it is needed depends on the troop density and time frame. For example, I was looking at the sketch maps of the Russian and Polish lines in the Ukraine during the Rus-Pole War 1920 from...

anyone know good books about this period ? and some with bio about thier leaders ? I like Evan Mawdsley Russian Civil War around $9 with shipping from Amazon. Davis White Eagle, Red Star on Russian Poland war has tons of information and is a good read. Peter Kenez book, Civil War in South Russia 19...

For instance, I have tons of info and data on the Taïping enough to make a good game...but I don't have the months of work required.... Time is always the problem. Although the Europe map project seems to have worked reasonably well. I wonder if it would work for China. A map would certainly be a g...

Jagger2013

.. and knowledge

I agree. I think the two biggest challenges are 1. making the map 2. finding the sources to understand the conflict such that you could make the scenarios.

Is it possible to take the Army-Corps command relationship and extend it downwards to the corps-division level while continuing to maintain the army-corps command relationships? I am thinking it could possibly be useful in RUS to spread divisions out from a corps with a command range of 1 region. Ba...

-----You want to have an ability 'BattleBonus' works only for elements with a specific attribute, then that's StrParams6. If you want an ability to work only if the element targeted by your element has a specific attribute, then you put it in StrParams7. With the first case, you can have an ability...

Although I sold my copy a long time ago, the Red Star/White Eagle boardgame by GDW seemed to have a very detailed OOB. I don't remember now if it included corps commanders. http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1...olish-war-1920 Interesting. And it is only $8. I might get it for the OOB. Sadly, I don...

Here is an interesting link on total number of Red divisions during the civil war. There were only 47 numbered divisions. It appears 9 other early war divisions were formed and then either disbanded or absorbed into one of the other 47 divisions. Not a huge number of divisions. If you assumed 10,000...

Jagger2013

Thanks Jim! I did check Nafzigers OOB's out a couple days back and no luck. I just downloaded the document in your second link. I haven't read it yet but skimmed a couple pages and it looks like it will be very useful. I have actually found quite a bit of information on both the Polish and Russian a...
