I played the Russians in the 1812 scenario and see several problems that make the scenario less than historical and alter play balance unduly. First is the replacement of Barclay by Kutusov on the second turn of the game. Kutusov didn't replace Barclay until August 29th, about turn 9 in the game. Fo...

Pocus, Thanks for taking a look at the 1813 scenario where I couldn't get the military option of Showing Napoleon the Eagles to work but could in the 1815 scenario. As I recall I couldn't do the trick in 1815 in the field, I had to be in a city/depot for it to work. I also saw that the AI didn't use...

Bohemond, I was playing the 1812 scenario and discovered an anomaly with how captured depots get reported. I've noticed that the side losing the depot always gets told the depot got captured. However on the capturing side if the depot was destroyed I see that message come across as the citizens dest...

Omnius

Bohemond, I'm sure glad you're willing to tackle issues like why the AI wastes naval leaders on land stacks. I would love to see naval leaders limited to only sailing on fleets while ground leaders are limited to only commanding ground forces. The problem as I see it as that some naval leaders are q...

Omnius

Bernadotte,
Thanks for the tip on there being an Eider Canal around Kiel before the Kiel
Canal came to be. That helps make sense out of the Hamburg to Lubeck naval moves.

Omnius

Bohemond, Little did you realize that when you bought NCP to play that it would turn into something like a full time job. :wacko: Excellent news that you do have fixing infantry on the schedule somewhat. I keep wondering why even differentiate light infantry when it's really nothing but line infantr...

Omnius

Bohemond, Sounds like you're doing some great work remodeling the artillery, cavalry and ships and I'm kind of wondering if you'll do unto infantry what you've done to the other types of units? Seems like all infantry is classed as line infantry instead of by infantry type by what I'm seeing with th...

Omnius

Pocus, Any ideas about why I can't get the military option of showing Napoleon the Eagles to work in the 1813 scenario but it worked just fine for me in the 1815 scenario? I tried a whole bunch of times in a game and in a test game and just couldn't get that option to work in 1813 when it seemed eff...

Omnius

Pocus, I wasn't necessarily meaning that some new kind of ship movement is needed, just thought it kind of weird how I see some fleets plot moves from one land area to another adjacent one, but that seems to be a problem regarding winter weather that may freeze a shallow river and that land to land ...

Omnius

Bohemond, I forgot to put in some of the filename but thankfully I remember that the filename ended with "Ried1813b". I hope that helps you track down that 1813 event that shows the filename instead of the event even though it does show the text. I'll have to try to remember that scriptreport file n...

Omnius

Pocus,
Thanks for the pointer to the modding forum. I did give it a look a little while back but didn't seem to see much about a modding manual. I'll have to go back and take a better second look to see what's up. I saw something about AGEWiki but no links.

Omnius

Bohemond or Pocus, Okay I just finished my test of turning off the AI and playing the 1813 scenario to see if I could get the show Napoleon the eagles military option working. I moved away the Austrian unit adjacent to Dresden and built a depot at Dresden while moving the two Guards corps to Dresden...

Omnius

Bohemond, I'm not sure what's up but when I tried to use the Napoleon is Shown the Eagles Military Option I just couldn't seem to get it to work after many attempts. I used it with success in another scenario so am puzzled. I tried it with Napoleon not with the Guard corps and it didn't work so I mo...

Omnius

Bohemond, There's a problem on turn 6 of the 1813 scenario where an event triggers but what we see is the filename in the event message and the title of the news article that explains what's up. The event message actually shows uo properly. Also in the same 1813 scenario there are 3 supply wagons th...

Omnius

Bohemond, I've been wondering why ocean fleets seem to move overland in some spots. I see it a lot when British fleets come into London, especially in the winter, as they move through one of the land areas northeast of London. Same thing around Hamburg as fleets seem to move from Hamburg to Lubeck t...

Omnius

Pocus, Man you had me sweating for a moment trying to remember where the heck I had posted my comments about the entrenchment being turned off and not working. Here is PhilThib's reply from that thread: "I am not sure now that you mention it that the entrenchment level has been set to 0 by code... m...

Omnius

Bohemond, After reading more of the second 1813 campaign that is covered by the 1813 scenario it seems the French had serious food shortages at the front about a month into the campaign. Instead of moving supply and creating a big depot at Dresden I see a better easier solution that should keep with...

Omnius

Pocus, Yep making a really good AI is the wargame programmer's Holy Grail and so far no one has mastered it. Someday I'd like to be able to turn an AI on to a harder level where it actually plays smarter rather than just having a lot more stuff to throw at us. The AI difficulty buttons always remind...

Omnius

Pocus, Thanks for the info that moving a city isn't such a big chore, if you know how to mod. How about moving a port to a different region? Starting to think that I need to learn the scripting language for the AGE engine. Is there some place where there's some kind of manual that can be printed out...

Omnius

Bohemond, I've decided to get out of my 1805 trance and am looking at other scenarios since you're working so hard on fixing some of the problems. I looked into the 1813 scenario last night and the first thing that struck me as being offbase was there is no French supply depot with accumulated food ...

Omnius

Pocus, It sure would be nice to get all the regions properly names, I've seen a few other mentions of regions having the wrong name. It's just that Austerlitz kind of sticks out because of the famous battle there. One map problem I see is the location of the city Leipzig. According to the maps I've ...

Omnius

Pocus, I've always said that AI stands for Artificial Ignorance when it comes to computer wargames. I do see some improvement from BoA though as the NCP AI on medium aggressiveness is far less crazy about sending little units all over the place. Although I've been critical of all wargame AI's from e...

Omnius

While playing the 1805 Thames or Danube scenario I discovered a problem with the naval combat in those Approaches sea areas that border the Carribean area boxes. I found that way too often a naval battle in one of those approaches sea areas would involve a fleet moving in an adjacent area box and th...

Omnius

One thing AI've noticed in playing a few of the NCP scenarios and all of the BoA scenarios is that there's an embarrasement of riches as regards food and ammo. After finishing one 1805 scenario I ended up with over 100,000 units of food which seems way too generous. Granted it's spread throughout al...

Omnius

I'm not sure if this has been reported and fixed but the Austerlitz region is in the wrong place. According to all my maps of the 1805 masterpiece battle Austerlitz is southeast of Brunn yet on the map it appears to the northwest. Even had the Coalition been able to turn Napoleon's right flank and c...

Omnius

I wish that the supply unit that's part of the cavalry division of the French 1st Cavalry Corps could be separated from the division and made separate inside the corps like every other supply unit. When I divided the cavalry division to do just that I discovered that the supply unit had the infantry...

Omnius

I'm setting up this NCP Setup and Scenario Issues thread to allow for posting specific or even general scenario issues that should be fixed. Sometimes it's tough to know where to post some issues as to whether they are database or event driven. To me it would be great if the scenario replacements co...

Omnius

Bohemond, Thanks for the quick update that the French can't invade Prussia prior to a declaration of war event gets played. Yeah taking the Prussians off the map to start would seem like a good idea by providing less distraction with superfluous units. Great idea about setting up a new thread for NC...

Omnius

Bohemond, I haven't seen all of the scenarios so don't know if any contain an option to buy heavy cavalry. I have seen some heavy cavalry replacements start a scenario but haven't seen a buy cavalry option that would include heavy cavalry. However adding heavy cavalry to a cavalry buy option would b...

Omnius

Bohemond, Would it be too much trouble to remove the two element supply unit from the French 1st Cavalry Corps division in the 1815 Waterloo scenario and just have it separate like every other supply unit in a corps? When dividing up that unit the supply unit ends up looking like an infantry unit on...
