Just curious. We still haven't received the first official patch for the game although there has been a public beta patch available for a long time. I'm kind of waiting for the first official patch to come along before I really get stuck into a real campaign. I think the beta patch is a solid one a...

No you are right, its just I've most often played with the Austrian side and even by mid-game you are still short of EPs, so losing a brigade activation and having to spend EP to regain it is a cost to avoid. Equally I tend to find that by 1761-2 I've lost enough of the army that CPs as such are no...

A new question. I was playing the Saxony scenaio as recommended. I was given the messages that several generals were promotable and their names were highlighted red in the ledger. However, when I looked, I couldn't find any promotion icon. Are promotions enabled in this scenario and if so, what am ...

Erik Springelkamp

best is to note the names (from the event file) and then find them on map - I forget quite the mechanism but I think it is a flashing medal. In the full campaign, from about 1761 onwards, its not always a good idea to promote (you may need more brigadiers than corps commanders for some armies) But ...

In general it is perfectly possible to reattach units from an inactive commander to an active commander and then use them in an attack. I do it all the time in different AGEOD games. Unless the strict activation option is used and the passive stack is locked. So what the OP describes is unusual, esp...

I have been playing SCW as Nationalists into spring of 1937 now, and I wonder about general strategy for both sides. Following what I read about the war, I first connected the Northern and Southern areas, consolidated the South and attacked in the North. I didn't launch an early attack on Madrid, be...

I don't really know, but I guess that artillery cannot be just recruited, bust must be acquired abroad, for which there are some options earlier in the game.

I think it is similar with tanks, which only come with foreign forces.

I've been away from AJE for a long time, yet have noticed the release of the newest campaign pack. How good are the Parthian scenarios? Are they challenging in SP? I have played the Crassus scenario several times against the AI and failed to win until to now, both from the Roman and Parthian side. ...

The Nationalists are short of War Supplies, so I looked on the supply map and saw a production symbol with 2 WS in the region Villarcayo. But when I had conquered it, I still had a production of only 2 WS per turn. So it turned out that the production icon in the Villarcayo region actually belongs t...

You should use a dieroll to make that decision, then you cannot be outguessed. But back to the topic, II would advice anyone who wants to play a two-player game at the moment to play the four-player game and give three faction to the Austrian player. The risk of discovering after a year game time th...

After this advice the Prussian player can save his money as well

Your link mentions using an elaborate reconnaissance with cavalry along the Baltic coast, but in the multi-player version the Russians can just move through Poland. So probably some more events have to be added to fix this part back to the non-gold and multiplayer situation? I am still wondering wha...

Erik Springelkamp

I just did a quick play of the latest version in 2-player mode, and the entry of the Russians is indeed broken. The army with depot enters in a Polish region that cannot entered, and they cannot move. (So it appears only Vadim and his partner have played a 2-player campaign in the Gold version.) @Lo...

The only anomaly I see here is the plural of corps... unless you already consider those mean sacrificed! :p :-) I vaguely suspected that it might be wrong when I wrote it. In the light of your answers it is indeed not strange. Yes, a corps commander (essentially a 2-star General) can lead his own b...

Erik Springelkamp

In the Prussian setup of the 2-player grand campaign there are some anomalies in the command structure. In two corpses - Links Kolumn in Bautzen and Markgraf Karl Korps in Dresden - the Korps commander also acts as Division commander, while a free junior 2-star general is present in both corpses. I ...

Yes, they are.

At least in PBEM.

I have played them in a 4-player game, and Prussia was defeated, with Russians (and Austrians) in Berlin and Frankfort.

I haven't seen the AI move the Russian armies towards Pommern though in several test games.

Erik Springelkamp

confusing and disturbing Why does this feature - which is really just a convenient addition - raise such strong irrational emotions, I wonder? Similar to the emotions that are triggered by the fact that BOR contains its own executable, instead of depending on the exe of AJE. I have tasted real ange...

Erik Springelkamp

I have some unrelated questions, hoping for answers. 2. Supplies; is there a limit to the amount of supplies that can accumulate in a town that has no depot? If so, what is the limit? A careful inventory out west shows that some towns SHOULD be accumulating supplies based on the consumption rate of...

You can create armies in mid December and some divisions (5 armies and 5 divs with the nationalists). Later you can make lots of divisions. For the republicans is very similar. Hmm, I can create one army in the North on turn one with my only 3 star general. I created several corps in the North. The...

Erik Springelkamp

I dont undertand the second question, yoy can see units like leaders. In some older games you can switch between Forces and Units in the F1 screen. That way you can locate all leaders very easily from the ledger. I was searching for my 2 and 3 star leaders in order to consider my future army struct...

Erik Springelkamp

I tried to understand which units were missing elements that could grow into the unit. It seems that the only way is to separate the unit from a stack and look at the current power versus the maximum power in the tooltip info. On the Nationalist side I only see infantry combat units of one element, ...

Erik Springelkamp

When I select a subfaction in the forcelist (F1 Ledger), I cannot unselect a subfaction, ie. I can only see the forces of one subfaction at the same time, while the starting situation is that I see all forces. Or actually, I can unselect the faction, but only by trying to find that invisible pixel t...

Erik Springelkamp

I have started the main scenario as Nationalist now, and I see that from the start I can form an army and corps, but not divisions. When will divisions be enabled, and will there be only one army? EDIT: The answer has been given in this post: http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?33531-Armies-an...

Erik Springelkamp

Not sure what you are suggesting here? Are you agreeing a "unit" (or stack in AJE) should travel as fast as it's slowest sub-element? No, because I think the speed is determined by the speed of the baggage, a slow minority of units can use the same baggage facilities as the main force. And the fast...

Erik Springelkamp

An army travels at the speed of its baggage train. So I don't see any reason why different parts of a regular Roman army would travel at different speeds at all. Travel speed and tactical movement speed are entirely different things.

Erik Springelkamp

It proves to be pretty easy to resupply cities under siege. Supply trains under evasive orders will generally succeed in entering and leaving cities under siege. Even putting a cavalry unit in attack mode next to the siege force doesn't prevent this in general. I wonder if this is really by design, ...

The Manual: page 12: Important Note: In order to gain credit for a captured Objective or Strategic City, a player must garrison the location with a regular unit of infantry or cavalry (i.e. no Irregulars, Militias) if the region has a Loyalty Rating less than 51%. page 56: Note however, that Victory...

This war is almost unheard of on this side of the Atlantic except among only the leftists, I wonder if this is the same in Europe? It is a sad story, that doesn't fit into the victor's tale after the war. For me the role of the UK, which effectively supported the Nationalists strongly, was a dark r...

Erik Springelkamp

I decided to investigate the supply push from structures to distant forces with supply trains, as this aspect is poorly documented in the manual. I played the first 6 months of the grand campaign both sides by just placing a couple of forces with trains at various distances from structures. In gener...
