lol...running that through google translation gets this as the final line, "Because we want something but row Bavarian leather joy"

I'm not sure I even want to know that that's supposed to say.

Question I have, not having learned enough of the modding stuff is...Does the AI recognize any of the geographic or political divisions in the game? FOr instance, can the AI be "taught" to tell the difference between the different grand regions, or states, or anything like that? I kind of doubt it, ...

Shoot, I probably passed you on the way over there, I drive over to see my mother in Mobile fairly regularly.

That is a pretty neat park to go to. There's a nice little Air Force museum in the Ft Walton Beach area too. Lots of military bases in that part of the country.

As the initial question is now answered I can hijack my thread for more questions. How do I use generals with the trait "Recruiting Officer" best? I usually put them in a big city like New York. Obviously the more conscription points a city generates, the more helpful is a recruiting officer. My qu...

Do you have the FI level set to Normal? You can make it easier, but honestly, I think that's playing about how it should be, intervention wasn't terribly likely historically. One thing I would like to see is additional player input on things like the Trent Affair. Frankly, public opinion on that was...

Let me ask a few questions: Does the decision to have Rop DD only convinced any players to buy it ? Would a decision to have also boxed versions (simple and collector's ) besides DD lead any players to NOT buy it ? Ageod's revenue comes, I believe, from selling games. Thinking on the revenue side, ...

No physical game for my money, I've seen a surprising amount of this attitude around. I can understand people not wanting Steam or something like Ubi's glorious new system on their computer, many associate "download only" with these kind of systems. And I suppose the box/physical copy fetish makes ...

I would say my issue currently is the same as a lot of people. A bad economy has led to less disposable income right at the time when we are seriously being flooded with good/great war and strategy games. Add in that with the economy being crappy, people are working more leaving less free time for g...

Once you have your army filled out and have some extra generals, those big VA and TN brigades can make pretty nice independent forces. I generally build with small brigades and save as many of the big ones for outlying defensive units or small raiding groups.

Same thought I had...they realize that, so long as you consider the German attack on Poland, and not the earlier Japanese moves, the starting point, WW2 "Only" lasted a bit under 6 years right? And sheesh, WW1? Only 4 years, a mere skirmish.

Yes, this tool tip. Normally there's some small icon (the same one that appears when merging forces) but sometimes when I try to intercept the enemy stack I neither get the tooltip nor the icon. Do note that you can't use the intercept command on units in the same region as you. Only ones in other ...

I get the feeling that people really have no clue what RTS actually stands for these days...for that matter, I doubt a majority of people actually know what strategy is anymore. People's ideas of strategy has changed a lot in the past decade or two, and I see a lot of games that are nowhere near a s...

Some people yells because it is too expensive... it is not, as an Apple product. Ding ding ding....key phrase here, "as an Apple product". I suppose when everything you make comes out costing twice what it's worth, the relative amount seems lower. The only advantage Apple holds in this respect is t...

"Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life? Conan: To take away their boards, see them before you without a tan, and to hear the lamentation of their chicks dude."

Just more proof of Holger Bech Nielsen and Masao Ninomiya's theories that the universe/God/the future/whatever is preventing us from fully operating the LHC so we don't blow ourselves up or whatever.

This one is very close to this 1912 one :) "Shoot twice and go home." - Swiss response to Kaiser Wilhelm II's question in 1912 as to what the 250,000 Swiss militiamen would do if invaded by half a million German soldiers. The Germans do seem to have lacked a bit of tact in the beginning of the cent...

"The Foreign Minister of Germany once said to me 'your country does not dare do anything against Germany, because we have in your country 500,000 German reservists who will rise in arms against your government if you dare to make a move against Germany.' Well, I told him that that might be so, but t...

Oh my what a list, this takes me back to my college days. :thumbsup: I loved all of them and spent way too many hours in the old computer lab on all of those games. Maybe that's why my grades suffered so. :mdr: BTW - I think the A-10 game was A-10 Tank Killer. That was it...I knew it was A-10 somet...

I can't remember many of the names of the things I played back on the old Vic-20, but that was pretty mind blowing at the time. :) Pre-Pentium: Railroad Tycoon - Still play this one Civilization 1 - Classic Mechwarrior - I can still remember the bar music to this day, and since it was on the interna...

Nothing but Victory: The Army of the Tennessee, 1861-1865 by Steven E. Woodworth. Not bad, though a bit more generic than I'd prefer from a book dedicated to a single army. And the author seems to be a rather large Grant apologist, maximizing his good attributes while minimizing the contributions of...

Gentlemen: I'm really looking forward to working with any new database rework in MOD format "ONLY" going forward. That way all the :p leure: can sit back and play the game in its "static" legacy form and only those interested in applying the rework in MOD form will have to do so. Eventually with th...

I've found large advantages in industrialization as the South, and enough as the North to make it worthwhile, though I never go very heavy. But getting supplies near the front reduces the rail and riverine you have to use, which saves you money elsewhere. It might even out in the short term, but lon...

I think Texas might have an issue with this plan.

Couldn't do it in this version due to engine limitations. For AACW 2, who knows? Quite possible, add it to the wishlist.

Turn 17 - Story: Davis sat and listened to the sound of distant cannon fire. Distant, yes, but still much too close considering he was sitting in his office in the Confederate White House. Moving to the window, he could see nothing, but the sound was there, and growing louder. He could see clouds in...

Turn 16 - Story: Davis looked at the letter in his hands, even out in the field he continued to read the dispatches, with a bit of relief. His use of government funds to jumpstart an industrial base in Mississippi was finally bearing fruit. Small for now, the individual efforts would begin to add up...
