You wouldn't have 30 Brigades left if you were playing against me! ;)


Ha-ha! I am not very good at this game. The AI is set on Intermediate (with a few bonuses) and I am gradually losing ground, plus the European powers are threatening to join the Confederacy. This game system doesn't quite ...

In the SP game that I have started, playing as the Union, by the end of 1862 I have 30 Brigade units in my army. 15 around Washington/Cumberland and 15 further out West. I didn't build any of them myself. In the absence of a "merge" function, the only way that I could reduce these brigades as a ...

I'm saying that the engine is able to delete units now via scripts, and that it can spawn new ones in. I'm not sure how (or even if) the AI can handle it, or the specifics of how the code would work, but if an enterprising modder wants to take a crack at it, then I think it is a possibility.

OK ...

Is there any chance of getting rid of the toilet bowls/sinks currently masquerading as forts in the game? They make the map look ugly, in my opinion.

Merging units is not currently possible with the engine and probably won't ever be. Unit deletions are possible via scripts now, so with some elaborate code it might be possible to say have a hex where you place a unit, have it automatically delete and be replaced with another (better) unit ...

That is a neat idea. It would also give strategic choice. Do I want to use regiments, brigades, and divisions to cover all of the different areas of the map or do I want to focus one powerful corps on a specific part of the map.


Yes, it would. I am not sure of the relative sizes of "Regiments ...

I like the game, but it has one drawback. Too many units spawn in the Richmond and Washington area. Within a few turns there's a continuous line from the Shenandoah Valley to the coast. In that area it becomes like playing SC WWI. There's no room to maneuver like there was in history. Perhaps ...

I bought this game when it first came out as I had really enjoyed the WW1 (a really great game) and WW2 games in this series. I didn't get on with it then and I still feel the same way now after returning to the game in the last week or so. I basically agree with the people who say that this system ...

Thanks Bill, I will try that, but I have just found this old thread so I will follow this advice first . . .

I purchased this on Steam. Twice playing for the first time today as Confederacy got this "FAILED (Store) Permission denied" message and then CTD. Any ideas?

<t> Very clear picture and good sound for that test. <br/>

Interesting idea with the coastal guns for the Turks. I have now completely cleared the area around Sedd el Bahr, just left the text there. Might be worth an experiment at some point. If Michael knows how to write event scripts, or ...

<t> Thanks very much for this. Interesting stuff. Number 3 should be sorted out so that capital ships cannot deplete subs supply in that way as it seems ahistorical to me. Also, I am not keen on players being able to sell research chits at the start of a game either. Maybe certain types of research ...

I would say it is hard to argue the Germans overall were better infantry than the British or the French. The Germans did in WWI what they did in WWII, which was put a lot of effort into their elite formations while shorting everyone else ...

How do you figure this? I would rate Italy lower. Perhaps the Italians had access to more artillery than ...

I would swap UK and France, esp. the Guards, Canadians, Anzacs were pure elite corps. French had no large breakthrough corps equivalent of the Stormtroopers or the ones mentioned. Also i would give Bulgaria a 5, Russia a 5, Italy a 4 and Romania ...

<t> Yes, I would be interested in the answers to these questions too. At the moment I am doing rather cruder adjustments to my mod, such as reducing the Max Chits for Trench Warfare from 4 to 2, except for Germany which can have 3 Chits and starts with Level 1 Tech already done. My idea here is that ...

Btw, what effect does deleting units from the map before the game have? Do the deleted units still appear in the army lists that can be purchased later, or are they just gone for good?

The NM loss is on a 1-1 exact ratio to the MPP cost of a unit, so it could be made more important in relation to a country's National Morale by increasing unit costs (and income too), but this would require some significant testing to get ...

This does sound like an interesting experiment! This approach also opens up the potential for a late-game 'stormtroop'-type infantry unit which does de-entrenchment (reflecting infiltration tactics, flamethrowers and the like), which would ...

If it is the latter, this can be easily done the way we do it, Campaign->Edit AI Scripts->Advanced, then click/highlight the ...
