Many thanks. Worked so far.

Hi Guys,
Please see this reply. It may be you do not need QF2.

Some files for your consideration. Game crashes upon opening.

Durk

In this instance, not really gaming the system, just an alternative deployment.

Ditto GraniteStater - without slavery, no Great Civil War. Period.

Kind of simple really.

I know I am a Unionist, but still - if slavery never existed what would motivate such a clash?

Durk

Which side? All or only one?
As Puritans, attack and attack some more.
As Pequots, attack and attack some more.
Use the ability to totally destroy enemy towns.

Durk

This patch has been great.
Nicely done.

Durk

All of Hobbes great scenarios pre-F&IW also use VP from Pillage.
I do not know the actual value, but it does work to gain points.

Durk

I am probably not the best person to reply to your post as I never play versus AI. I play both sides if solo and I do not have a real opponent. Otherwise, I only play PBEM. Espana is such a gem. This is a conflict which rarely sees a great game, and Espana is a great game. This game is such an accur...

I hope you love AGEOD games as so many others do. Pillaging happens when more units are in an area than the supply of the area supports. There is a pillage special ability, but this is for forces you want to destroy the supply of an enemy region. Forces just pillage, they like doing it. You do not n...

Foreign Entry is when France and Spain come to the assistance of the Colonies. The Colonials can send ambassadors to Europe to speed up the process. Likewise, the British have a few options to delay foreign entry. So no settings, per se, some options for EP spending, and very many French and Spanish...

Thank you so much for the detailed response, ArmChair! I really appreciate it. I am determined to learn this game. I did set historical attrition on for player and AI, thank you for the recommendation. Any other settings I should pay attention to? I set slightly randomized generals, activation pena...

There are not videos equal to CharlesOnMission's work for the American Civil War, but several AAR tutorials are available and well done

WIA covers all American wars from the earliest Pequot War through the War of 1812. Great game covering a wide historical time span.

Durk

WIA is a very good place to begin for several reasons. The leadership, supply and underlying routines of prduction and such are more direct, that is, less complicated. WIA has been well suported and is viable as a current game. If you are a diehard fan of the Americn Civil War willing to face an int...

Don't you think most gamers of Civil War II, play the long campaign versions rather then small scenario's? I realize the smaller battles are better or the newer wargamers, learning the system. More time should be put the longer campaign. I have another question. When creating a division why can't w...

Frosty - look at this thread

Durk

Fellows, thank you for sharing your problems and your solutions. Bloody Road South is indeed an nice plumb to add to a great game.

Durk

I, for one, hope the 1.03 patch is made available now. You are number three of the players I know for whom the download did not work.

Durk

Somebody with better tech sense needs to chime in. For me, the basic game installed, then during the same install, I was presented with a new window asking for me to once again accept the license; that is the 1.03, I think.

Durk

No, no - I understand. It is part of the install, but is the second phase of the installation process. I have a friend who is in a pbem with me. We both did separate installs so we could continue our game. His Bloody Road South has all the scenarios, but says version 1.02. He installed first so I be...

Durk

You need to make sure when you get the second installation sequence that you are pointed at the correct folder. The default folder may not be where you actual game files are. The 1.03 file is part of the download.

Durk

I have had a decades long search for a game which perfectly emulates the American Civil War. I did find one board game which seemed to meet this quest. Until now, not a single computer game has lived up to this dream. Now I have found one. ACW II is such an excellent simulation without constraining ...

Durk

Yes, very realistic and lots of fun.

All I can do is repeat. In the new Windows game functions do not work unless you run as an administrator.

Durk

I have a desktop feature in 8.1, but what exactly is "admin mode"? I am the computer's administrator, but when I went into the System game file thru the desktop into the HD, I couldn't save it! Windows 8 is not like earlier versions. You must insist you are the admin even if you already are. So whe...

Durk

Hmm. How did you try admin mode?
Try admin mode first, then adding code?
Windows 8 anything is a mess, but this occasionally works for me.

Durk

I do not have a full answer, but when my Confederates were winning the war in the Far West these Indians signed an alliance with the CSA.

Durk

Well - another option is multiple installs. I do separate settings in separate installs because I love hard activation, but most players hate it. So for the very few who prefer this extra bit of realism, I have a whole different game, so to speak. I do not need to change settings, I just open a diff...

Durk

Ageod victory conditions are really great but so different from what you might expect.

Victory is a mix of territory and wins in battle. To get a major win, not like other games. you need to be king of the world, not just better than AI or your opponent

Durk

Mostly this is due to the opposing side holding a fort or city in the region you are in. This raises the ZOC issue, that is, you do not control the region.
