<t> What we have done to test is we set the game so that both sides are controlled--that way we can see both sides at the start (no other forces arrive later etc.). On all of our testing, selecting the balanced button and setting up division size battes, the numbers on both sides, including ...

<r> Hello. There are some tips at winning the very challenging WL18 in this thread:<br/>

also remember, it was common for French Corps/Div to be equipped with a full compliment of arms. The Corps de' armee system was setup so that a single Corps had the ability to fight on it's own a vastly superior force for at least a ...

<r> Can you give more detail on what you mean by stop and go? Does the game literally pause/start, or is it low FPS?<br/>
<br/>

How about quick hot keys for certain commanders to jump to their position immediately rather than arrowing through 10 different commanders and getting lost in the OOB <E>:)</E>

<t> Thanks Prester John, good answer. I still use them for short range recon--as you stated, a few musket ranges ahead. But like you mentioned, they can't go too far or they risk getting caught in the open. Continuous fire is a good way to put it. If used effectively you can completely envelop an ...

<r> When, how, and whyever you want. <E>:)</E><br/>

In all seriousness, historically skirmishers were mainly sent ahead of the main force for reconnaissance. In SOWL, they can be used for this but also as a way to split up your forces to fill gaps in your lines, attack a units flank, etc ...

Hmm. I know the balance option isn't always perfect due to the structure of the OOBs, but that does seem a bit too warped for comfort.

I'll bring it up with the test team, see if they can try and re-create and get it into our issue tracking system.

They should have just used staff officers that were of Wellington's staff. Would have looked a whole lot better.<br/>

<t> Basically when you press the volley button, you are ordering the unit to stop firing and load for a volley. Depending on the experience of the unit, it may take a few seconds, to several seconds for them to fire. If you press the volley button again (before the unit has the chance to fire) they ...

Wow, excellent work. It's a privilege to have your art in our game.

Also your SOWWL.log may offer a clue. Attach it here directly after the crash. It's located in your Documents Folder\Sowwl

<t> Thanks Leatherneck. I went ahead and looked at the map files, and I couldn't see anything obvious that would cause the issue. Sometimes the collision radius can be set too large what can cause that, but all of the buildings in the area are set properly. I think you're right, must have been a ...

Yes that should fix it. We're working on a new full installer that will address it as well.

<t> Ok I took a look at the save, and I see the battle has indeed gone way past the end time, and very little action has occurred.<br/>
<br/>
So at some point, the script completely stopped working. This would explain no action after Hougoumont, and it never ended, nor did the sun go down. I'm ...

<r> This will be fixed in the next patch. Trip van Zoudtlandt's heavy cavalry will get the attention they deserve.. <E>:)</E><br/>

Thanks, got it. I'll take a look and get back to you.

<t> That is extremely odd. We tested this scenario several times, and that never happened. Can you please provide a saved game showing the issue? They are located in your Documents\Sowwl\Saved Games\ folder. It may be too large to email, so could you zip it up, then post to dropbox or somewhere?<br ...

Yes it's already in our tracking system for the patch. It was a limitation of the new GUI and we ran out of time to fix it. But we'll get it in the game as soon as we can.

My understanding is that troops entering and defending buildings are abstracted: rather than spend a lot of time developing animations of sprites passing through doorways/entrances, we get 'permeable walls'. They do indeed fight back when inside ...
