I definitely hope that the battle reports can be more interesting to watch and give the player some more information as to what happened during the battle although I am wary of getting too much information. I am worried that too much information would turn battles into a science rather than an art....

H Gilmer3

Agreed. I am thinking of installing the older version and playing it some.

H Gilmer3

I don't know about that. I have not had any crashes and it runs smoothly and quickly.

Enjoying both LPs so far. Gilmer, have you figured out that Aid from the Pope option yet? Just a bug or are the conditions not being met for activating it? I'm not really sure what was going on there, but at some point he just gave me aid. And now I have not seen him for awhile. I wonder if I need ...

H Gilmer3

Yeah, we should do a multiplayer of something, not sure what.

H Gilmer3

I think you are on the right track. TEAW - Turns are 15 days and the war goes on from 1914-1918. Thirty Years War is turns of 30 days and goes on for well, 30 years, 1618-1648. The first few turns of TYW (I will use abbreviations from now on) go by very quickly because it is mostly a small rebellion...

You should probably withdraw your army if you can't realistically defeat the HRE. Does it make sense to have been attacking? Probably not, but that was historically what they did, I'd imagine. The Protestant rebels were defeated historically.

Greatest duo of "bad guys" in movie history, played by two exceptional actors.

RIP both.

the sound of battle keeps playing over and over continuously. Also, I am playing Campaign as HRE and Pope Gregory never gives aid. I click every time and I never see message giving aid, and he is always available next turn. I am using Widows Home 10.0. I have a Radeon HD 6570. 8 GB of Ram. i&-2600S ...

How goes it, my fellow HRE'er?

Welcome aboard. People here are very friendly so pipe up if you have a question.

XTRG is conducting an excellent Let's Play of Thirty Years' War

And I am doing one as well. Probably not quite as good as his.

Wow, this is excellent historical documentation. I could spend weeks just reading that archive.

H Gilmer3

I know it seems like piling on. Is "Ask the pope for help" supposed to work automatically if you choose it, or does it have a chance to fail? In my current game, I have selected it for about 3 turns straight, and I don't get the message that he has sent me help, and he is still available to be selec...

Based on my observations of playing the West a lot and watching let's plays and reading AARS, I think the CP should mass just about everything they can on the west and drive for Paris. Russia is too freaking big and you get lost in there. Seems better to keep a smaller front on the border of Germany...

I cannot tell you how much the graphics are excellent in this game. No offense to Pocus and the artists that worked on other titles, but the graphics in Thirty Years War are top notch and very colorful.

H Gilmer3

Thanks! I had a lot of fun playing it. Rise of Prussia will always be a favorite for me because it was the first title I bought and actually played. I had the original American Civil War but just could not get my mind around it. Too much going on. This one had just the right amount of units.

H Gilmer3

Thank you H Gilmer. I give enough spoilers to my opponent as well. :) I suppose I would play differently next time, but good learning scenario overall and all game options are available from the beginning. I have been reading yours, Loki's, and Narwhal's AARs for about 6 years now. They are always ...

H Gilmer3

Good grief! Is this how it always works with AGEOD titles? As far as I know, the game was only announced in May, and now it's been released with no real run-up. I'm used to Paradox, which announces games about a year in advance with a target quarter-year, and then gives you a release date several w...

H Gilmer3

My theory is going down in flames, but at least people are talking about it.

H Gilmer3

Oh, this will be excellent. When Baris does an AAR, sit yourself down and grab some popcorn and be prepared to be educated, entertained, and amazed.

Yes, I have the game and I have to say no offense to other titles, but the artwork in this game is the best so far.

H Gilmer3

I don't know how to post a poll, so just reply. I have a theory on what side people will play, or a hunch.

H Gilmer3

Excellent information.

H Gilmer3

I think only the hard core players still answer questions here, you may have to wait a few days for an answer.

H Gilmer3

Those are nice screenshots.

H Gilmer3

All I know is I like Rise of Prussia a lot. I lost a lot and finally beat it playing as Frederick and that was a very good feeling.

H Gilmer3

I wish I had known this before doing my let's play. The Russians sat out the war. I had a decent force in Koenigsberg with a real army under Heinrich Von Preussen and we ran out of supplies waiting for the Russians. I eventually pulled them back because supply was zero at Koenigsberg. I then kept He...

Hi Nekhron, and welcome to the forums!

H Gilmer3

This is an older thread but I'll answer as what makes it good as well. If you play Prussia, you have to be very good at strategizing on using your forces. You are attacked North, South, East, and West. You only really have enough troops to stop two of those fronts dead in their tracks. You have the ...

It could be war weariness? I don't think it's 100% chance war weariness hits 1 NM every time, but that there is a chance that it hits.
