You're missing that the game isn't an absolute 1-1 simulation of reality. Orso, you should know from our discussion on fort artillery that I know the game isn't 1-1, and I know how the abilities work. For my own enjoyment, I am trying to get the units closer to the historical times, places and numb...

Old thread, but I am trying to update sharpshooter regiment names myself and researching the history of it. From what I can find, and I might be missing quite a bit, there were never that many dedicated sharpshooter regiments in the Union army (not focusing on CSA at the moment). Typically regiments...

grimjaw

even forts will fall apart if they are not maintained. Sure, but that isn't modeled in the game, any more than is restoring a system 1 or 2 fort from 5 breaches to pristine. I don't disagree with your points about fort garrisons, but I do think the guns should be unfixed. At the very least, they sh...

grimjaw

I believe the atrCityScapeMod will only apply to cities and that there should be a coefficient modifier for forts and redoubts and probably stockades. So fort garrisons might fare worse to some degree under historical attrition. The issue with artillery in general, is that in reality there are crew...

I haven't looked in awhile, but I don't think there are any free heavy arty replacements after the first of the full campaign. April at least; I never play July. Those few replacements don't really help much. If you had historical attrition turned on, that'll make another significant dent every wint...

grimjaw

I see the replacement numbers for the Union coastal batteries and they don't look any better. The Union units on the board look pretty healthy, but again, they start that way. OK, help me out here a little. I'm going to assume in that saved game you were playing the CSA. Did you ever buy enough repl...

Unlike the CSA, don't most, if not all, of the Union coastal batteries start at full strength? I don't know what effect that has, if any. I haven't played the Union enough lately to notice a difference in the attrition rate, but I'm planning to next full game so I'll try to watch for it. As the CSA ...

I don't use the keyboard for navigation, so I haven't noticed.

I sure can't find the instructions for generating new info from the region database. CSVsplitter is not what you'd call user-friendly. I'd change the info elsewhere if I knew where it was stored, but it doesn't appear to be in the region files that I can see. ... nevermind, I found where the end res...

The problem also exists in a couple adjacent regions.

28 <-> 50 no adjacency either way, even though they are, with railroad and road drawn (and translink defined in their files)
51 -> 28 no adjacency; translink was defined

grimjaw

I don't mind working on these, but someone will have to explain the poly/triangle system to me. It's not as simple in all cases as matching adjacency <-> poly <-> region. I've tried drawing the coordinates on a graph and I wasn't making sense of it. The Translinks are simple enough, but I'm not sure...

grimjaw

Older thread, I know, but I agree with ohms that this is a *huge* annoyance. Keep a loose 1 star in your corps at all times. A workaround that doesn't work well if the loose general doesn't happen to be active at the time. Not as many loose generals in the CSA, so the workaround is a penalty in thei...

indythinker, thanks for your input. Let me respond to your points. 1: I've done the same thing WRT to history of the personalities represented in the game, and it was almost as interesting doing that. I actually started playing AACW when I was laid up with two broken arms, since it was something tha...

grimjaw

It might still be in the CW2 game engine or events somewhere, but I haven't see it fire. In AACW, in some regions or situations there used to be a chance that there'd be a rebellion of sorts and opposing troops would appear. RGDs for partisans and such have taken the place of this. If you were going...

Given their current characteristics they ought to be worth *some* VP. They generate small amount of supply and ammo and provide instant protection from harsh weather. Artillery inside a stockade built in a region along a navigable river fires under the rules for forts. When they're built, they usual...

Thanks as always, Pocus!

There are two values that appear in the models of some generals. CanBeHQStack = 1 // this one usually appears in 2-star and 3-star models CanBeGHQStack = 1 /// this one usually appears in 3-star models I couldn't find reference to them on the wiki, and Google was no help. I suspected it had somethin...

grimjaw

I suspect you play versus AI Guilty as charged :D but I'm interested in PBEM player input as well. I'd *really* like to change the command structure setup and ranking system to more closely match historical. I'm not sure if I can mod that, and I'm fairly certain what I want will not make it into CW...

I'm posting this here instead of the modding forum because I'm hoping to get more feedback. I figure more people play the game than mod it, and the main question I have is: in the full campaigns, when have you usually won or lost? I'm working on modding the generals, their appearances in the game an...

Traveling *from* Middlesex, MA, (region 0053) to adjacent region Manchester, NH, (region 0029) does not work. The opposite *does* work; can travel directly on foot or by rail from region 0029 to adjacent region 0053. The Translink is defined in the 0053 region file, but 0029 is not listed as an adja...

Got my ass kicked for 3 years. Fought every battle on my territory. Then the south ran out of troops and I won. Still felt like I lost.

Except for the last sentence, that sounds kind of like the real American Civil War.

I don't have a problem with the Indian units and probabilities as they are. They're pretty close to historic levels, from what little I've read about it. The CSA receives enough regiments from Indian territory over time to make a small division of them. Three regiments spawn with Watie, three are ju...

Here's one for the CSA's "P. Anderson," who I believe is actually J.P. Anderson. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Patton_Anderson) You're welcome to colorize it.

I guess it kind of depends how things are going for you without them. Much of it is out of your control, of course. The Union political decisions regarding the total blockade (can go for or against you); their actions with regard to territorial concessions; and there are a few events that fire that ...

You are probably having the same problem some of the rest of us are having, in that some of your model files are missing from the model folder. http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?37844-1-04-patch-seems-to-be-missing-some-model-files http://www.ageod-forum.com/showthread.php?36595-Add-leader-m...

Pillaging doesn't matter much but it can also depend on the time of year and the area involved. Early on in the full campaign, in the winter as the CSA I have trouble keeping large numbers supplied in NW Arkansas even at depots. A single raider unit out west can cover many miles in a turn, capturing...

Is supply usage adjusted along with capacity? Or does it compute usage on a 2-week period no matter what? Because I don't know, I'm wondering how the following are also affected: - training for experience and from conscripts to regulars, if these abilities function per turn, in which case they ought...
