<t> That must be one of the best opening lines for any AAR I have ever read. 'I had nothing to do so I decided to invade the Soviet Union.' Classic!<br/>

I am currently fighting through v.4.6 of this incredible scenario and am having difficulties. I'll be interested to see if you will be ...

Working on a new AAR at the AGEOD forums. Grand Campaign as the Reds: http://www.ageod-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=291&t=50377. Thanks!

I have started a new TYW AAR on the AGEOD forums, playing the Grand Campaign as the HRE:
http://www.ageod-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=387&t=43780

I registered at the AGEOD forums (same name: Ripster8) and posted the save there. Thanks for your help!

The Forum is not allowing me to upload the HST file - says it is not one of the supported file types. How can I get the file to you?

<t> I applied your hotfix, Senor Leibst, and I am sad to report that in my next game as the Imperialists in the GC the 'Troops to Pavia' event fired in May 1628 and this time it immediately took all three of my main field armies (Wallenstein, Tilly and Bucqoy) and teleported them to Pavia ...

Thanks for the quick response and your efforts to improve TYW. I will give your hotfix a test drive and get back to you.

<t> Senor Leibst, thank you for attempting to improve TYW. I downloaded and installed the 1.02RC patch with no problems once the link was fixed. I played the GC as the Imperialists up to late 1629 when the game became unplayable for the following reason:<br/>
<br/>
The Mantua War event fired in ...

The link is broken...

As a matter of fact I am playing a head-to-head GC with myself right now. But it is not quite the same as playing against a competent AI. And PBEM is great but it takes a lot of time to get through 30 years of war!

It is unfortunate since I love the time period, the attention to detail, etc. But right now TYW is best as a PBEM game. Perhaps a future patch will remedy this. One can only hope!

<t> Well, what's the point of a patch if you can't address fundamental problems with the game? In any case, more issues:<br/>
<br/>
1) The inclusion of ships and naval movement is pointless. The Imperialists never have a fleet in play. Simpler for all to have Danish and Swedish units arrive at ...

You have got to do something with the AI, amigo! There has to be a way to keep it from taking its armies on long winter walks!

<t> ...I love the time period and I really appreciate the effort that AGEOD has put into TYW, but as a single-player game it is sadly lacking. The AI is largely incompetent, unfortunately. The worst AI blunder is the repeated long winter walks it takes with large armies. It is so sad to see the ...

<t> I have experienced several force pool anomalies, particularly with supply wagons. I believe it is supposed to be that when you build a unit from the force pool and it is destroyed, then it reappears in the force pool on the next turn. However, the force pool does not contain and will not replace ...

Thank you for the update!

There is a great game here, just waiting for the next patch to come out and be discovered! How's it coming, AGEOD folks?

<t> Hope we get the patch soon! Also, I have experienced the bug that another poster (think it was Uxbridge) commented on, where the Protestants in the campaign game cannot build any new supply wagons. Only the Bohemian Protestants can (just two at a time) but Prague is far away from Heidelberg ...

<r> I am playing a campaign game as the Protestants and discovered where Christian IV was getting all his artillery (from my other game as the Imperialists). Sometime in 1631 the Protestant force pool went berserk, allowing me to build up to <B><s>[b]</s>213<e>[/b]</e></B> siege guns, <B><s>[b]</s ...

<t> I have to agree with the question of balance. As the Imperialists against the AI Protestants the first year was touchy but after that it has been a roll over, I'm afraid. I am in 1641 and the Bohemian revolt is crushed, the Palatinate is conquered, the Danes vanquished and I am waiting around ...
