Struggle for a Vast Future version 1.0

[Clovis]

Hi Clovis!

Sherman counting:
1. One appears and died in 1861
2. One appears in Washington early 1862 (with the same ratings)
3. Another one appears in the summer of 1862 with terrific ratings in Cairo.

I can fill a panzer platoon with Shermans

I don't know who can solve this but I post it:
At the end of every turn a critical error occurs and the program breaks down. After the reload of the last save I find the game executed a turn before the crash but after the next turn it crashes again. It begins it in the late july1862 turn.
Log and save:

The third is T. Sherman, and not William Tecumseh Sherman.

In any case, W T Sherman appears first in feb 62 at Cairo. So I don't undersatnd how he has been created in 1861. The only explanation is you're using wrong event files and not the SVF ones.

Gray, Clovis thanks for the info.
I reinstall the whole AACW and hope the best.

Best regards,

Looked at your files. The event for Sherman return after "death" fired effectively, explaining why Sherman is back in game. What remains curious is the Sherman entry in 1861.

for the rest, T. Sherman is sharing indeed the same name.

[Pelok]

I reinstall it and try it again. I didn't mod anything except the portraits-thing.... If something strange happens I do another reinstall and I wait for your next patch.

Good night and thanks for the help.

I reinstalled the game after deleting everything. So I began it from absolute zero. The first 4 or 5 turns were okay the another dozen turns remain for the next week(s).

Hi Clovis and everybody!

I made a total clean install: AACW, Patch 1.15 and the last SVF mod. That's all I didn't do anything else. I began to play and two strange things happened:

1. I couldn't find a city
2. In a battle I lost McCall but noone else. He was in front of his troops and he became the only one casualty or got a heartache.....?

What's happened?

Help me because this is my favourite game but the bugs killing me - like poor McCall.....

1) Bug I introduced lately. Fixed.

2) Pure AACW game logics. The same could occur in vanilla as I just introduced leader mortality values. Nothing I can do against that. Let's just imagine McCall falling from his horse, on the head against a rock...

Where can I find the fixed version?

Sorry if I misundertood something. I'm an old gamer not a programmer and I damned with poor language knowledge.

Or shot by his own troops!

New version

What's new?

52) Fortifications may be built up to level 8. Beware, AACW hinders upgrading a fort above level 2. So any fortification efforts will result in a fort level 8 for a cost of 18 supply and 4artillery units. To ease the build process, I've introduced Fortification ressources units containing each the supply units needed to build one level 8 fort. You will have to add 4 artillery unis to one fortification ressources to begin Fort construction
Why build forts when units may entrench? Because until late game, only Forts giv a 8 level you will appreciate around Washington or Richmond. At a huge cost... 53) partisan units movement allowance lowered: partisan units are locals, not bands raiding several hundred kilometers away... 55) Introduced Northern fluvial patrols . Union player will get in the first turns 8 free gunboat groups. They have very low combat value and can't leave Missouri and Ohio rivers. One such unit prevents the crossing of the region it occupies. To ease micromangement, these units need no ressupply. Created for simulating the Union naval supériority which prevented Confederate crossing of Missouri and Ohio rivers by large armies. These units are otherwise helpless for battle and can »t leave this aera in order to avoid any side effects. Raising WSUs for Union to give player a possibility to build more « normal » gunboats could have led to other side effects. Use them to protect Cairo, Cincinnati and Saint Louis... 56) Union will be able to create one union infantry brigade and 2 cavalry regiments if he controls both Ft Smith and Fayetteville in Arkansas. 57) CSA AI will randomly defend stronger New Orleans region.

Thanks Clovis I begin to test it tonight.

Thanks Clovis I begin to test it tonight.

You will have to download again SVF2 file, the first file was bugged.

[Pocus]

Congrats for keeping work on your mod! I like particularly any AI tweaks you do.

[Clovis]

Example of a Confederate AI raid: Johnston raced to Philadelphia before retreating back toward Virginia CSA main defense line ( September 61)

[Clovis]

Thanks. The AGE AI can learn so much. My role is just to learn it the key value points on a given map, then it does many right things. it's yet cumbersome in unit organization and leader use, but less than before.

[Clovis]

During the next turns (October 61), Beauregard's Army launched a raid against Baltimore before coming back to Manasas...

Hello Clovis!

This sounds great, I'd like to download your mod. A couple of questions: First, does your mod build on the AI tweaks in 1.15 or replace them? In other words, do you improve upon the 1.15 AI?

Also, I have patched up to vanilla 1.15. What is your latest mod version, and how do I install?

Hi,

yes, I'm trying to improve the 1.15 AI; for now, I've worked on the CSA one; for the Union AI, it remains the one I've made for the 1.13 patch. There are certainly things to fix but my experience with the CSA AI is most of the tweaks I made for the 1.13 work rather well with the 1.15.

The last version is on this thread page.

So I just have to install version 3? Also, the windows are in French. Is there anything I can do to get them in English?

Thanks again...

No. SVF 0,1,2 and 3 are the four files needed for the mod. uzip the 4 in the AACW directory, launch Struggle.bat, click " oui" each time a window pops up in the process. The install files are in French, and the mod in English. Don't ask

Thanks Clovis, you're a prince.

The irony is that "oui" is one of the few French words I understand.

[Rexor]

Clovis,

I'm installing the it all, but the yes/no questions are coming in DOS in English. Is this alright or should I be worried?

[Paul Roberts]

It's fine. The installer is French but the game text is English.

[enf91]

I installed SVF, but now I have to re-enter my serial key. Is that supposed to happen?

[Clovis]

no.

To solve it, open the ACW/settingd folder and copy the General.opt file to the SVF/settings

[enf91]

I don't have an SVF/settings folder. Besides the general.opt thing, does it matter?

>>Yeah, it does, something about localstrings.csv

>>>So should I just copy the whole vanilla settings folder?
