Thanks Leibst.

But why not a comprehensive patch?

On a fast look, the updates pdf was not updated.

Yeay! Many thanks! :coeurs:

To be easier able to reinstall the game to 1.01 if this patch was not enough tested.

On a fast look, the updates pdf was not updated.

Year, none of the 3 doc/pdf. But it's not so important, moreover if the patch is good.

So as I read the patch notes, no changes affecting the NM levels? I had hoped something would be included.

Maybe by limiting the building of units and redeployments, the nationalist stack of doom strategy is less easy to do.
Maybe Leibst don't want to change the game too much at once, he may want deeper tests with, and then he's not against a next patch if needed.

The unit building changes are positive and I agree it will delay formation of a stack of doom. But the issue remains that creating such a stack is a more or less fool-proof strategy. The only thing restraining the Nationalists from doing it is if they try and play historically. I think some RUS style mechanisms would really polish the game.

I forgot to add that, but yes, i changed the political cost for units, so you still lose NM, but less.
In a game i'm playing i have 137 NM but it has started to increase in a huge way just the last turns, when imo the war is already won, but for any strange motivation the republican player wants to continue the fight :tournepas :non:

Maybe they know they will be killed even if they surrender gently. :)

Thanks and regards!

You are right Nikel. I have to do that.

Yes, that is a good change. But what I was thinking of was more along the lines of:

* NM ceilings, as in Rise of Prussia, which will reduce morale over a certain point but give EP and/or VP in return, e.g. if the Nationalists are over 120 NM and get ten NM, they gradually lose NM over the next few turns to get back to below 120 NM, but get EP and/or VP

* NM floors, as in RUS - for example, if the Republican morale drops below 90, but they hold Madrid, they get +2 NM war resiliency next turn to get them back to 90; you could also have RUS-style EP options to spend EP for NM

Mechanisms like these will ensure that victory is earned only when one side has really gained the edge in terms of taking key cities and areas, and not because there is NM death spiral where one side has 157 NM and the other 67 NM with no mechanism for balancing...

However that's almost what happened, but mainly due to Moscow*, not Franquists. So the 'republican' morale can be very low (the NM is of common combattants), but it must not mean that the nationalist morale can then be very high (they though they could easily take power within few days, what would have happen without anarchist started revolution prepared since 80 years).
* However the Stalin politic was the same as Madrid, but made thougher, even more than the franquists before they had revolted (the republic was killing people, but it was not enough for franquists so they wanted the power).

2 times playing Ebro scenario pbem, once Nationalists win every battle by accumulated NM advantage for battle cohesion. Another play was the opposite. I think it will be better to give VP instead while adding some NM for a loser.

In the campaign set-up for the Nationalists, missing portraits for:
Alvarez Rementeri in Sevilla
Sagardia in Burgos

There don't appear to be missing portraits for the Republicans in the set-up.

This was under a fresh install, applying Patch 1.01 first, then Patch 1.02 over that.

Not sure if there are any missing portraits for leaders that enter after set-up, as I only looked at set-up for the campaign.

I just bought the game, I tried to use the update selection from the launcher and said there was a mistake. Now I try to manually download patch 1.01 and 1.02 and there is no file found.

Where do I get them?

Hi All!
I`m about to start this amazing game! :dada:
Just one stupid question left... :wacko:

I have installed new patch 1.02 and then manually (!!) copied/replaced files from patch to game folder. This procedure look strange for me but that`s the only way I find to make this patch work...
Now everything is OK - "1.02 version" is displayed.
All correct? Have I lost anything?

You may also indicate the installer where the game was installed.

I meant that there was an error in the patch so that it would install in a different folder to where the game by default was installed.

But you may change the folder.

Yeah, I saw that and tried to find "right" folder without any success...
Finally just copied patch folder to original one with the replacement of files.

As I wrote above seems like it`s OK now - patch folder is empty and "1.02 version" displayed.
