Glad to hear it, I am looking forward to PBEM. I'm waiting for the first patch to come out, and practicing against the AI and myself in the meantime. How do the Central Powers fare in multiplayer? Naturally it should be very difficult to achieve a CP victory, but is it even possible against two comp...

I've adapted to the posture hotkeys pretty quickly, but if nothing else, I wish the fly-out menus for movement, command, etc., would stay open while cycling through your armies.

John Sedgwick

Thanks for the pics, Tac! The first one should do nicely, I think. Ganbatte: I've wondered the same thing, but it's probably more trouble than it's worth. I noticed Dankl and Auffenberg have their respective "von Krasnik" and "von Komarow" monikers, which were only bestowed during the war for their ...

John Sedgwick

Yep, cache needed to be deleted. Thanks guys!

Once I've finished the Canadians, I'll probably move on to the Russians - are there any more in the works on that side?

John Sedgwick

Is there any consensus as to the best option for realism/playability? I typically use medium or long delay, but would a shorter delay better replicate the difficulty of achieving a breakthrough against a defensive line in this period?

John Sedgwick

+1.

I've gotten used to it, but it is a big step backward for ease of use.

John Sedgwick

Thanks for the replies.

I've changed the portrait field from Unit_CAN_HQ2/HQ3 to Unit_CAN_Alderson.png in both of Edwin's .mdl files, but he's still not showing up in the game. What am I missing?

John Sedgwick

Let's get this show on the road, shall we? I'd like to add some leader portraits, but I can't figure out how to get them to appear in the game. I trust it's not too difficult? Also, is there a blank template for the portrait background (the largest ones)? Here's an appetizer; Sir Edwin A. H. Alderso...

It would be nice to have separate rail pools for e.g. Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire, or if that's not feasible, maybe make their troops weigh more for rail transport purposes?

WW1 Gold runs on XP, so I'd be surprised if CE doesn't, but I'm not 100% sure.

I just got it on sale, it runs a heck of a lot faster on my laptop, but I haven't had the chance to play much yet.

John Sedgwick

Yea, I've encountered this myself. It happens if the KuK navy is stationed in Istria when land is ceded to Italy by decision.

Everything starting with Mus_ in To End All Wars\EAW\Sounds\

John Sedgwick

It's a stable, well balanced release - no mean feat for a game of such epic scope. EAW is pushing the outer limits of what the engine can do, but not necessarily in a bad way. Seems some corners had to be cut - e.g. starting the German Army in Liege to keep pace with the Schlieffen plan on the first...

John Sedgwick

I am looking forward to playing the EE against a human opponent as well - has anyone had PBEM experience with them yet? I imagine they would be a real challenge if the CP targets them first.

John Sedgwick

With so much to do between turns, a few minutes processing doesn't bother me at all in this game, not like the grand campaign in Pride of Nations, which I wish would run just a bit faster on my laptop. I wouldn't factor it into the decision at all - it's a great game, nothing quite like it, except m...

John Sedgwick

Thanks for the replies, guys. What are your thoughts on the historical war plans? I always felt the Schlieffen Plan as originally formulated ("Keep the right flank strong!") was a risk worth taking in a two-front war, but even if everything went right, I imagine the logistics would've unraveled befo...

John Sedgwick

Will you join the cult of the offensive? How will you exploit your breakthroughs, and achieve operational and strategic victory? I think I might focus on the Eastern Entente, take a page out of Brusilov's book: launch wide front probing attacks to find the weak spot then throw your large reserves of...

John Sedgwick

Ah, wunderbar! I could never get WW1 Gold to run well on my laptop, so I hope an AGE engine Great War title will be just the ticket. It's not letting me vote right now but I'd go with To End All Wars. Price of Glory is catchy but sounds too... preachy, or like a game show, whereas To End All Wars ev...

Loin d'Indochine Il te donne le bénéfice du doute. Ses bêtes réparent les clôtures du zoo. La charge de caoutchouc. Un Gaugin volé, loin de Polynésie. Fumées - il nous rend fou.

Missed Connection I’m an aging Apollo class, you’re a young buck from Bremen. I never saw you, but I was told you were spotted near Mexico, so I was steaming south spoiling for a fight. We missed each other by only one day off Frisco Bay. Maybe it was for the best. I’ve got bigger ...

John Sedgwick

Thanks, General! 19th Century Fox is actually a song, still working on the melody though. I'll post a few more while I'm at it... Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, brick to marble to metal to rust. The Senate and People of Rome will endure - though they may sack the city, they can’t steal the s...

I'm dreaming of a Red Christmas, Like comrade Lenin had in mind. Where the treetops glisten, And workers listen To hear his Bolshevik design. I'm dreaming of a Red Christmas, With all this land redistributed, May you have much peace, land, and bread! And may all your Christmases be Red. I'm dreaming...

John Sedgwick

Haha, well that was a hard-won victory. Looks like you're ready for a human opponent?

John Sedgwick

I don't mind waiting myself, but from a sales perspective a pre-Christmas release would certainly be nice.

John Sedgwick

I like the realistic stats and speeds, I think it makes sense that these assets should stay in reserve and be used defensively until they're needed elsewhere, using the tanks only to crack hard-shelled nuts - although perhaps the range of aircraft could be extended one region to make them a bit more...

John Sedgwick

Thanks, I am still tweaking them but I will send the most recent version soon =)

John Sedgwick

The armoured trains are turning out nicely...

John Sedgwick

They are a bit of a white elephant in game as they were historically, which is to say they are costly out of all proportion to their usefulness and I would imagine tank combat actions were few and far between in the real war, but they look cool and that is important.

John Sedgwick

Thanks Baris =)

The manufacturer disclaims any and all liability for losses incurred as a result of overspending on snazzy-looking armoured cars.
