<t> So far I have played this game as Austrian and Prussian and on both occasions I had to periodically put up with troops being built all over my teritory which I were not wanted, I could not afford and prevented me from building what I want to build. What is the point in this occuring and why do I ...

Not really a trivial bug is it; as usual the game doesn't work!<br/>

I have a friend over for the day to play COG on a network and we can't because it doesn't work, so my day is bollixed because Matrix market and sell games they have not actually finished writting ...

Very interesting, how likely to get squished are they in combat. I ask from the point of view of whether a couple need to be saved in case of disaster ?

Yea, a godsend that would be.

Presumably their would be some variation as to the proprtion of troops allocated to each task (including none at all) otherwise it will all become predictable ?

So, how does one go about taking control of a province in a non-military manner. I am having as much luck extracting this information from the manual as I have extracting an argumnet on philosophy from my cat. Anyone able to provide a potted, concise 1 papragraph 'how to do it' guide?

Typical sort of BETA problem really.

I'm playing PBEM and I reckon Empire wide improvements and not military are best.

They taste good too.

Wow a female gamer, cool.

Er no, never noticed that. I think it may depend in what order you are playing; i.e. are you the last player to give orders before the turn is processed ?

Yeah, can't live with 'em, not allowed to shoot them either.

I saw some in Southern Africa last year with turqouise bums, how bizzare is that ?

Considerably more confident incidentally that my field army in general despite winning 5 of it's 6 battles.

Negative, my draftees arrive with 5.2 morale.

Well yes they did, you see this is a 'beta' and we are testing it so somebody did find it during testing; you did, just now.

I would imagine very experienced and confident Heavy Cavalry would be pretty effective.

Well quite

That was actually suposed to be 'or Chinese' in Chinese but the forum does not accept the characters.

Me too, I would like to see what a really confident elite unit actually fights like (not that I got one yet, my best unit is regular morale 5)
