Hopefully it will do wonders, so that you can get rich and...wait... not too much though, if you get too rich and happy, you'll just quit and retire in the Bahamas, so I guess I hope it does well enough to buy you a fancy new car and allow you to hire even more great designers/programmes to developp...

OUjhhh

Haaaa

Rahh

Arggg...

Can't wait... The day the game is released I plan on being suddenly stricken with several terrible deseases that will prevent me from going to work and force me into staying at home....

veji1

Well if the fight continues, maybe you could switch to the present tense (strive instead of strove), because we the past it sounds as if the poor chap has passed away.

It is a very nice dedication though.

If I may add, a sieging army is a sitting concentrated army that tends to suffer a significant attrition, because of the difficulties in supplying the army, and the hygene issues... A siege in the Mississipi Delta in summer would cause a significant attrition me thinks...

veji1

GReat, I agree there are certainly more pressing needs than adressing this.

veji1

I wholeheartedly agree.. From what I get of AGEOD's design philosophy, the idea is to make a game that allows the player to feel like the CiC, dealing with the real issues (supplies, detection, cohesion and all) while hiding from him all the purely mechanic aspect of the game, so that it does not be...

Still, having the number of guys on the battle result screen would be good, so that with have an immediate impression of how bloody the battle was :

74 456 mens, 129 guns 13 604 casualties.

Something like this.

veji1

How can I know how many troops fought each other in that battle ?

having the casualties is great, but it would mean more if we could see that 46 000 rebs attacked 53 000 union soldiers and lost 7 000 soldiers on the first day, etc...

veji1

OK, I think I can now officialy promise I will buy the game whenever its available... By the way I have an ooooooooooold Laptop (Pentium3 1,86Ghz, 256 Ram and dunno what shitty graphic card), will it work ? I am yearning for games that don't suck up too much power and all...

veji1

Thanks Spharv2, this is the kind of interesting screenie I was looking For !!

veji1

Great.. one little correction though, it should be "ejercito de Mexico" and not "Armada de Mexico". In spanish "Armada" refers to the fleet ( remember the invincible armada in 1588 ?)

Otherwise great... Mexico intervenes for the USA if it does right ? Or can it actually intervene for the two sides ?

veji1

Something I would really love to se would be a very short AAR or even just screenshots of a big battle and its immediate outcome : I would like to get a feel of how after a big battle the armies cohesion look like, and to what extent cant the victor exploit his success... Please.... I know your busy...

Marecone, it's monday...

veji1

Hmmm... Tremy's suggestion really sounds very intriguing... One could imagine that all generals would start the war with low stats, but "good" generals would progress quickly to reach their optimum... This way the beginning of the war would be slow and messy, with lots of failed checks, and slowly i...

I have to agree with Spharv there, Seniority and Pol rating are really part of the excitement of this game for me... If you don't do that then you'll have Grant in the east and Sherman in the west in 1861 and they will be able to concentrate, advance, seek and destroy at will.. The only way to avoid...

veji1

Well lets say it's not the priority, but you could randomize Seniority and political value in a lottery way rather than in a totally random way : say Union starts in the game with the real not hidden generals and it gives it : 1 4 stars general with 100 Pol value 3 3 stars generals with 20, 15 and 5...

veji1

So we are Monday Marecone.... And waiting...

veji1

Gulp...

Pretty scary...

veji1

Yes very nice, but frustratingly short.... I, like many others here, need more.. please... Don't let us suffer

veji1

Ah great than... I didn't really understand how seniority worked.. Good.. If the system is well balanced... How does one earn seniority : Through victory ? through fighting ? Through capturing objectives ? I guess the important thing here is to prevent as much as possible gamey tactics such as havin...

veji1

I actually think a combination of the two systems could be good... Obivously McClellan is an exceptionnal case, and I think that for the first say year of the game ( if its the june 1861 start date ), his removal should be too expensive to do.. Then a decrease in political price... But preventing ea...

veji1

very frustrating...

I hope a new AAR will be started soon...

Very soon...

actually let's make it a threat : If I don't have a daily fix of AARs until the release date, I won't buy the game... Here you go...Now give me more !

veji1

Yes but the point exists that if you have a stalemated war in 1864 ( say the CSA managed ot hold its own and establish strong defensive positions on all the main fronts ), even though the Union could and would win a protracted war at heavy cost, it might in the end opt for peace following a Democrat...

veji1

Je suis d'accord pour ce qui concerne votre dévouement à faire de ce jeu une simu de qualité. Même si je n'ai pas BOA, je peux vous dire que j'achêterai directement chez vous AACW, histoire que l'argent n'aille pas chez un intermédiaire mais directement dans votre poche.

veji1

thing is the strat rating in this game doesn't measure the strategic genius but rather operational ability. If Lee had 6-4-4, which is a sensible evaluation, then you'd have to lower the strat rating of almost every other leader in the field to make sure only Lee and a handfull ( ie less than 5 ) ge...

I honnestly think 1-0-1 with overcautious and another bad trait if you want is enough.

veji1

OK, but then give him 0-0-1... Really 0-0-0 seems completely unreasonnable... Come on you can give him bad traits as well, but as a matter of principle 0-0-0 really shocks me.

veji1

He was not strictly speaking useless, he was very bad. A 1-1-1 general with Overcautious is a very bad general. If you want you can even make him 1-0-1 to prevent him from committing any form of offensive, but 0-0-0 is really beyond very bad...

veji1

0-0-0 seems really too harsh... Give him 1-1-1 and overcautious or something like this but 000 really is making him as good as a pile of dirt ?

Actually I would even consider making him 1-1-2 to give him at least marginal utility.

veji1

This looks very nice, I think it is a good example of how different traits can be given for different command levels.
