RE: Map Views

<t> I regret to say that the map would appear to need considerable work.<br/>
<br/>
I've only been able to check the UK, or more specifically the England and Wales section of the map, but the placement of cities is shockingly inaccurate. The cities of Hull, Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool in ...

RE: Any Mods or Scenarios that pre-set historically realistic objectives?

<t> Thanks, pzgndr, that's interesting.<br/>
<br/>
I wouldn't particularly want the AI (or human players for that matter) to be forced into essentially following a scripted plan!<br/>
<br/>
What would be nice, in an entirely re-vamped EiA, or more accurately in a new game based on the EiA idea ...

Any Mods or Scenarios that pre-set historically realistic objectives?

<t> Hi<br/>
<br/>
I'm enjoying my first ever foray into Napoleonic warfare with EiA.<br/>
<br/>
However, playing against the AI I realised that what unfolded was nothing like the Napoleonic Wars at all. The Victory Conditions do not seem to give historical objectives guiding nations towards ...

Friendly Fire in Naval Battles !!!

<t> Hi, Pnzgdr and all<br/>
<br/>
So, I've finished my first full campaign play-through (as Russia, versus the AI, 1805 EiA), and other than a few mistakes of entirely my own making while I got used to the UI, I have seen only one bug, and that again was my fault but I could see it being repeated ...

RE: Very unexpected battle result - any pointers?

<t> Thanks again, pzgndr<br/>
<br/>
I think it is very unlikely the 'rolling news' as pictured above is displaying losses incorrectly. I've had a few battles and the details seem to conform to the battle screen.<br/>

In the battle in question, the one with the disastrously unexpected ...

RE: Very unexpected battle result - any pointers?

<t> Thanks, pzgndr<br/>
<br/>
That is approximately what I thought had happened - a bad morale hit, resulting in disintegration. But, I read the roll as implying Turkey had taken the morale loss. Yes, I'm confused!<br/>

Russia's 5 Corps comprised four of Line Infantry (17 plus 2 organic ...

Very unexpected battle result - any pointers?

<r> I'm new to this game but I think I've learnt the basics by now. Interesting it is too.<br/>

I'm playing Russia versus all other nations on Medium AI. I instigated a quarrel with Turkey and have successfully invaded Bessarabia, Moldovia and Wallachia. Turkey hardly intervened until I ...

Interesting ideas.

I've not seen the later map you've shown. Don't see it in my GoA's folders.

Thank you.

I find a logical review of a game does help understand its mechanics also, so it's all worthwhile in writing one.

Revised Alternative Map - 2019

<t> No discredit to GJK's great work on the alternate map presentation but I have noticed a handful of minor errors resulting from terrain 'splashovers' in the original map.<br/>
<br/>
The changes are hardly significant in game terms but I noticed that stacking limits didn't always conform to the ...

<t> Afterthoughts!<br/>
<br/>
Where did I go wrong? Could I have done better? Did the AI fight a challenging game?<br/>

Yes, I made some mistakes. I was too timid in the face of the British Navy and should have chanced more naval involvement and sent out more blockade runners. Even more so ...

I was expecting this to be the Palestinian Front but Britain paid little attention to this far flung outpost, and conceded the Suez Canal, and Cairo without a fight. All the Turks could do was dig-in to defend their slight gain and ensure the TE were forced to ...

Initially Turkey advanced unopposed across the frontier then dug-in. Neither side then conducted an offensive here till the final month of the war. It was something of a surprise that the Turks carried ...

Serbia, of course, had long since capitulated, which permitted the CP to advance into Romania and Greece. Salonika was held by 3 Italian Corps for the TE, but these were pushed back leaving the Greeks themselves to defend the road to Athens.<br/>
