Playing this campaign many times against the AI Coalition side I noticed that Army of Bohemia forces are used to move westword, pushing unopposed to the Rhine area.
Strasbourg, the French capital in the scenery was the main target, and the reason for such AI "manouvering".
That drives away from the main operational theater, Saxony and the Elbe river, an high number of Coalition forces, granting local superiority to the French side.
In my modding-tests I started reworking the Objective list for the campaign: it's to be noted that objectives can be different for the two sides.
After many attempts I suceeded to have a very interesting Campaign, with most actions carried out in the places where the historical 1813 campaign was fought and decided.
Most armies concentrated in Saxony, Silesia, and along the medium Elbe Magdeburg-Berlin-Hamburg area.
In the two pictures we can compare the Objective list how it appears to the French player in the default and modded campaign.
Note, the Objective list is slightly different for the Coalition player.
Default
Modded
The Secretary of State page here reported for the modded campaign is relative to the conclusion of the scenery.
To be evidenced the fact that the player, (French side) was not able to achive a major moral victory: it's a proof we got a really balanced scenery,.......or that I performed very bad!?
Usually I got a major moral victory in THE STRUGGLE OF NATIONS - Germany, 1813 Campaign, but the side I was playing for.
Some troubles are till to be referred!
With the hope to see them investigated and fixed with a future patch....
-[color="Red"]DONEGAL [/color]always figures out into the objective list for both sides, that although it's not present for any side in the scenery setup file objective list.
Guess we have a bug here:..........may be related to the fact that Donegal is the first region enlisted into the scenery-cities excel foil!?
-AI is often attempting deep-raids with isolated forces: they advance, out of friendly supply lines and go soon depleted!
It's an issue to be checked up for a solution witha future patch.
-Coalition AI it till committing an eccessive number of Forces to besiege Fortresses along the Vistula: AI performs very bad when besieging!.....Siege is often left without reasons; then, next turn AI forces come back to start a new siege to the same fortress.
The Struggle of Nations 1813: Historical Mod is available for download:

But the re-worked Objective list, it intruduces:
-Historically accurate 1813-1814 unit models for all sides.
-A different, and supposed more accurate, Fortresses and Cities disposition along the Elbe river area.
-A new Supply-Depot network
-Garrisons securing Depots, Fortresses, Cities.
-Leaderships improvements, with Russian and French Guard Corps Commanders with Guard Commit ability.
Code: Select all
NOTE:
The Struggle of Nations-Germany, 1813: Historical Mod while offering a suggestive and alternative scenery to the default The Struggle of Nations-Germany, 1813 Campaign, is not to be considered as part of the work in progress The Struggle of Nations-Germany, APRIL 1813 projects......
.........Although it's a usefull modding-playgroud and it anticipates some issues of this larger 3rd party project.
