Thanks that really helped.
I even do not have to create a fleet for transport.
Often hard to find answers in the manual.

There is no such thing as a transport ship unit in TOAW. We don't have that here :D

Instead sea transport is regulated through the Sea Transport Capacity (see 11.4 in the manual) that a designer can set in the scenario editor.

I read 11.4, but it doesn't help me.
I created a ship.
I moved a ...

I tried to create a transport ship for troops.
I have the anchor place, I have a ship, but troops will not board.
What am I doing wrong?
How do I create a Transport Ship?

Actually the escarpments are on both sides of te hex side.
I don't know if there is a disadvantage firing up the escarpment.
No more blowing bridges for sure.

I created Hexside Rivers for my games, since I mostly create games from boardgames. And its sometimes very hard to create a map with the TOAW rivers. You loose a lot of hexes if it's impassible rivers.

It was actually not to hard to do. I used the Escarpment Tiles:
Movement across Escarpment ...

Do units, that are totally out of supply, disolve? Attrition?
Where does the equipment go?

If reinforcements, away from the map edge, cannot appear because the location is not friendly controlled will they appear in a later turn when the location becomes friendly controlled?
The manual doesnt give that answer.


They will, provided there isn't any event that withdraws them first ...

About the Equipment Picture issue:
I would suggest to let the TOAW game community do that part through Mods. Then the pictures will be just for personel use. And Like with Total War, the community is better at that then the developer, who is bound to copy rights or having to hire a expensive artist ...

And see how I handled that in my Leipzig 1813 scenario.

I thought probably Saxon units in OOB of both sides, but I cannot find it.
There are too many (loss)events to find what happens to the Saxons after their treachery.

From the briefing:

If the Allies approach to within 5 hexes of ...

There have been occasions in history of Allies changing sides on the battlefield: expl. Saxons at Leipzig.

Is there an option in IV for units to change sides.
Or are there possibilities to make more then 2 sides on a conflict: like an additional faction that can decide what other faction to support during the game?
Or ability to change alliances?


There are only two sides. A scenario can be ...

Thanks.
That creating of replacements through disbanding a unit would work perfect for me.

I'll create training camps off map. The units represent the recruits and when I disband them the units will spread to the frontline units.

I've been searching the manual for answers and looking for tutorials, but I cannot find an answer to my question.

I want to create equipment reinforcements in my scenario.
Expl. Unit X starts with 5 equipment out of 10 possible.
Later I want to add 5 more, at once or over several turns.

Where is ...

At the moment I have another issue.
All at once lines start showing up around units that have long range ability.
Is that a game settings issue or did something get messed up in my game files?


Cycle range visibility by punching the letter "I". Three or four punches ought to take you thru the ...

I guess because of the way counters are generated it is not possible.
Thanks for the help.

When I pick the transparent area of a png, it gives me the number 7829367. I assume you will try that in a COL file and let us know the result :)

7829367 is not the transparent colour. It gives me a grey counter.

When talking about changing colours of Counters I'm talking about editing the ...

Is there a transparent colour for counters?

That's some map. Great work and thanks.
