AGEOD Forums

Hi everybody,a very long time lurker actually got the registration and happy to be around.

Now i must say i have been interested about the game for some time,playing the demo again and again.However the are couple of things important to know if i am going to procede with purchasing it.
1-is it possible to modify all the brigades in the game so that they have same subunit types and numbers?For example i want to play the CSA and have all the infantry brigades with 4inf./1.art.,can that be done by modding and how easy is it?
Also is it possible 1 element units like cavalry or artillery to make them with more element?What i mean is that all new cav/art units have 1 element but i want to have cavalry brigades with 2-3cav/1horse arty.what about it?
2-in the demo industrial expansion seems very erratic as to where new industries pop up(meaning which city of the state).Now what i beliave is that normally they should come up in the biggest cities of the state in the beggining and for sure in places with infrastructure already available(i hoped the ability to build railroads whould be in but...).What actually happens in the demo is industry appearing sometimes in cities with no rail connection .
Now can i mess with it so that for example investing in Georgia will apeear in Atlanta?



BTW Imperialism 1 was and still is my all times favorite game and probably the one that has costed me more than 50% of the whole time i have spend playing strategy games(which are the only ones i care about).
So Pocus and co. either release VGN or i will be on medication again.Now trying to find where my doctor hide the 1000s copy of Imp.1

1.- "No but yes"... Names are not changeable during game by now. However you can change (mod) all the names in databases, but the exact name of new units will not follow a correlative number.

There are some options of brigading 2 units (i e 2 militias / 1 zouave + 1 art...) but just predesigned ones.

2.- industry seems erratic but it works ok... new industry is created "semirandomly" in cities... the state where money is invested

Hi and welcome!

1- I think you ask about modding the composition of brigades.
This can be done but not on the game, You have to mess with the files and create a mod for this.
Some of the mods on work right know (Clovis mod for example) do this kind of things (several elements cavalry brigades, different mix on the infantry brigade etc.
So its quite possible, if you like modding.

2- Not sure about this. Probably harder to do... or impossible.
