Thanks for getting back. I am running ver 228b 1366 768 res on win7. Not clear on what a "bit larger" refers to....larger numbers on res...or larger icons....as in 960 res is a smaller number, but everything is larger.

I am eeking out a US civil war mod. Poor generals were part of that history. Negative modifiers would reflect that history. Associated high political cost to change generals would be there also. Of course, then I would have to find a way to require HQs to have leaders.

This old Avalon Hill era grog still playing. Anxiously awaiting Shadow Empire. Still play Civ 3, Midieval Total War. Ability to play a small game, and the editor, will always keep ATG on my computer.

Will adding "-" to cards and feats work as negative modifiers ?

Hi, some pages in editor are partially unavailable (to me anyway) Cant seem to find a windows command which will accommodate the whole page.

Simple way I found, place factories on the map using the map editor, where you wish, as many as you wish. Then forbid the building of each factory. Note that factories can be edited as to what they build fairly easily. Including supply and pps.

I would like to edit the parameters for generated leaders. Easy ?

I would like to eliminate some cards I find impractical. This easy to do ?

<t> I have done this without need of a new unit. I increased the AG vs infantry, lowered AG vs armor. Opposite for tank destroyer. Not quite historic, yet, game theory calls for the rock,scissors paper element. Also can increase offensive effectiveness of AG vs urban, and fortifications. Believe I ...

<t> In response to Vic's question, aside from the 3 elements, ATG does them with an elegant logistics system. This is a rarity. Well done. As to the use of WW2 weapons technology: WW2, marked the ending of an era, man skill, aim the gun, find your airbase, scout the enemy. Today, laser guided ...

<t> I could see it. Maybe reduced officer/hq effective range. Artillery spotting units would be needed, including increased elevation bonuses. Artillery range would need adjustment.including mortars, eg, Russian 120 mm mortar. Artillery ammo should be a factor. Oil production would change to fuel ...

<t> Think I'll nudge this. A wargame gotta have rock,scissors, paper,terrain and logistics. The only turn-based, strategy/build wargames I know, are ATG, and the Empire series. I have not played Empire in many years, however, a scan of its' forum will show the same problems that ATG faces. AI. I ...

Note that...with the editor, you can make those rangers what you will. Change movement and combat in mountains for Mtn Rangers, snow,jungle, city, whatever is fun.

Learning the editor will vastly improve your enjoyment of ATG. I give each ai opponent one of each factory, then prohibit their construction, for them. when learning the editor, learn how the "masterfile" functions first, it will make everything else a little simpler.

I assume you know the editor. Edit the map to make the game challenging, yet captures your interest.

I wouldn't build just one type. However, against the ai, I would definately go at guns first. Cause..here come the armoured cars !

Is it possible to change the parameters in leader generation ? mostly staff size

Do Air, artillery or naval units benefit from staff or leaders ? They dont seem to add any experience to them from combat. I understand they need a HQ to receive supply, but, are they a waste of staff ? and leader staff totals ?

<t> I enjoy ATG as an empire build game. The answer to Camerons' post, to me, is in his question. He refers to Civ several times. Naturally, it is a marketing success, as is the Total War series. Their commonality is what ATG lacks: AI diplomatic realism. Treaties,trade,limited war,truce,national ...

Took me a while to figure how to deal with production. The answer for me is in the editor. Here, one can change the production value of cities, thereby managing the number of units in the ...
