I'm about to quit my campaign as the Eastern Entente in the Guns of August Scenario. It's November 1916. The Central Powers NM is at 49, the Western Entente at 62, and my EE at 108. I played on Lieutenant difficulty with small AI bonuses for detection and activation. Plus, I used historical attritio...

As an intro to Ageod? As others have already stated, Ala Jacta Est and/or Wars in America are probably the best introductory games. They both feature lots of scenarios with relatively low unit density. Plus, there are some terrific "step-by-step" introductory AARs for those two games on th...

As stated, I am familiar with Ageod's replacement chit system. I have AJE, RUS, TYW, and WoN which all feature similar chit replacement systems to CWII's. In those other games, purchasing chit replacements can be a major drain on your resources. Yet, in CWII, I played one scenario for nearly 12 mont...

Here is it November and this issue STILL exists. I just bought this game two days ago and noticed the problem almost immediately: you don't have to purchase replacement chits because the game is doling them out free of charge. (I'm surprised how few people have noticed this problem.) I own a number ...

I tried Run as Admin, but that didn't work. Game still crashed when I clicked on the unit emblem in the Recruitment menu. I thought that was a longshot solution anyway. This is an engine problem that I've run into with more than one Ageod game. It's been fixed in other games, but it appears that I'm...

I was playing as the Imperials in the Grand Campaign with the latest patch 1.01. In the recruitment menu, the game will crash when I click-on a unit's emblem to review its details. A "Critical Error" screen will pop-up and then game will CTD. It's a repeatable bug. This bug (the game CTDing when one...

I am looking forward to its release. Ageod's engine is getting a little creaky and they get a lot of grief over Athena's overall ability, but the mere fact that they make fun strategy/operational games about periods of history that few dare to touch really does make them stand-out. The French and In...

Good if you feel it to be easy :-). But be aware that your opponents may have the same feeling. Anyway, with Eastern Whites, you will soon have a lack of units to build and need to activate some later options to get more. The ressources available in the game are balanced so that you can build and m...

I am a currently playing the Grand Campaign as the Eastern Whites. Despite my knowledge of the Russian Civil War being limited (with Dr. Zhivago being a big source), it's a lot of fun. RUS Gold is definitely one of Ageod's gems. However, British aid consists of tons of single element arty units that...

I'd prefer DLC that featured smaller scenarios. Sadly, Ageod's AI really struggles with WON's campaign scenarios. This has been true for almost all Ageod games: the bigger and longer the scenario the more the AI's failings are exposed and that has been even more pronounced with WON. Athena is much b...

If, as you say, can still 'resume' your game try hitting 'save' game ... I noticed a message with the path displays on the screen as it's saving the game. It disappears quickly. edit; I see you reinstalled so might be too late. Yes, I noticed that. It said it was storing it in my Thirty Years War/T...

bkosar19

File search revealed nothing. And, as said earlier, my Thirty Years War/TYW/saves folder doesn't exist. That's the first place I looked. And if I create one then the game doesn't recognize it. Nor is it in My Documents folder alongside the saved game folders for TEAW and WON. I suspect it somehow go...

bkosar19

Thanks for the reply. I'd love to be able to upload my saved game with the never finishing supply unit, but I can't seem to find my saved game folder. It's not in the main TYW folder. Nor is the game saving it to my documents folder as it does for other Ageod games such as WON or TEAW. When I press ...

bkosar19

Thanks for the answer. I suspected it wasn't working right back in September. So, I'm glad to finally to get an answer and am looking forward to the patch. I have some free time on my hands this week so I dusted off TYW and some other Ageod games. I dived into the Swedish Intervention scenario as th...

Does anyone have any advice or tips on what's the best unit make-up for a group?

Do you keep it all one unit type? Or do you create a combined arms force: infantry, cavalry, and artillery? What is the most effective?

bkosar19

I usually avoid necrobumping, but I am still in the dark on how this decision is supposed to work. Anyone have any tips or ideas on to effectively use it?

bkosar19

Yeah, I'm seeing the AI sending it forces to very odd places. I'm playing Spain and there is a tiny Russian "army" sitting on top of Gibraltar. I guess the Russians are trying to aid their British allies, but a single leader with one unit isn't much help. My French allies also have sent some tiny ar...

Thank you very much, Leibstandarte! I certainly didn't expect anyone to take my rant seriously, let alone actually give me the means to change the game. Anyway, I did substitute in the new portraits and it's great to see George Rogers Clark in WIA as he probably looked when he leaped into history. I...

I'm currently reading James Alexander Thom's novel about the Clark family of Virginia "From Sea to Shining Sea." The Clarks had 10 children and two of which became extremely famous: George Rogers Clark, the Revolutionary War hero, and William Clark of "Lewis and Clark" fame. So, I'm playing one of t...

I don't understand how the raid decision is supposed to work. It says you can target disloyal towns if you have a raider unit in that location. So, I'm playing the Bohemian Revolt scenario as the Emperor. I buy a Croat light cavalry unit. It pops-up in Vienna the next turn. I check the decision opti...

bkosar19

I'm not as negative as some of the others. I've playing some of the shorter scenarios as the Emperor against the AI. (To assist the AI, I usually avoid playing "monster" scenarios. Ageod's AI usually struggles badly with scenarios that span hundreds of turns and offer too many strategic variables an...

I'm playing with the 3rd highest activation level (sometimes leaders who don't pass their activation check will not be able to move at all). However, occasionally the event log will state that a leader and all the units in his army are "active" for that turn, but when I look at that leader and his a...

I noticed that I've been able to build depots with just one supply wagon unit. That is different from every other Ageod game I own and from what the TYW's manual states which is that TWO (2) supply wagon units are needed to build depot. Is this a bug? Or did TYW change the requirements needed to bui...

bkosar19

You're correct that I don't own PON. (Horror stories of incredibly long turn processing times were a factor why I passed on that particular title.) I do own WIA, AJE, ROP, NCP, and RUS. So, I'm pretty familiar with AGEOD games, and most of those games' turn processing times are relatively quick. So,...

I just ran the Steam version of TEAW 1916 scenario for about four turns without crashing. (The reason I mentioned that it was the Steam version is that the Steam version should have slightly fewer system resources available to it). So the good news is that I seem to be able to run 1916 without cras...

I'm getting a crash (game stops responding) whenever I press "Next Turn" with the 1916 Campaign scenario from "Breaking the Deadlock." I'm updated to 1.03. It is a repeat crash that occurs every single time I start a 1916 campaign as the western Entente. I'm able to enter the campaign, but when I pr...

Maybe I'm too late, but thought I'd chime in with my two cents. I'd skip buying the original NCP. Firstly, it is dated. It's nearly eight years old. Thus, it's missing a LOT of stuff that Ageod has incorporated into more recent additions of this engine. Two big examples: you can't recruit new units ...

bkosar19

Thanks for the responses and tips. Unfortunately, I already shelved that scenario as a lost cause. Anyway, I'll give them shot when I play again.

(That Cantabrian Wars scenario is a real bear for the Romans. By the time I said "No Mas" my NM was around 75 and the Cantabrians were around 147.)

bkosar19

Since others have already provided their saves then I won't upload mine, but I today I captured one of the Objective Cities in The Cantabrian Wars scenario. I received the NM for the surrendering garrison, but none for taking the city.
