Hi - I think your problem is that it takes 12 German units within 8 hexes of Warsaw to obtain the full NM benefits of Ukrainian grain supplies. Based on what you have explained separately to me, the Germans in this situation have only 8 units - hence these notifications.

Yes - those are the counters I use when playing the mod.

Yes - the capital did move to Bordeaux. I've tried to race to bordeaux but havent been able to get there quickly in any sort of fighting shape. Getting NM down to 0% has been a real challenge too. I'm relatively new to the game Im wondering if there are some strategies or tactics I am missing ...

Hi - the rules on surrender are spelled out in the Manual in section 6.6.1. France has two alternate capitals in Bordeaux and Marseille (that's what "Alternate" means on the map besides these two cities). What is probably happening in your game is that because Paris fell very early (I have never ...

Hi Bill,

I notice that the extensive changes in this update to Lion of Africa and Shadow of the Tsars which you reported further up in this thread do not appear in the change log in the game itself (i.e. when you click on the Version 1.16). Could those notes be updated too?

Cheers,

Michael

Based on feedback from several players, I have made some small corrections to Version 6.9 of the mod to address a glitch with the capture of Basra by Indian forces when the Ottomans enter the war. It seems that the unit script would not fire if the UK had not fully entered the war before the ...

Hi Tanaka,

Great minds think alike, it seems! I will be happy to write out some scripts that you can paste into the mod covering the 1864 election. It's the sort of discrete modding project that I enjoy. It will also help you begin to get into writing new scripts for your mod.

Cheers,

Michael

Hi Tanaka,

Based on my experience so far playing this game in MP mode, here are the three things I suggest you consider as further refinements to the mod, from least to most important.

River Boats:

These still seem to me a bit over-powered against larger infantry units. It seems wrong that they ...

Hi Tanaka,

Congratulations on producing this mod, which I have now downloaded and installed. I am especially interested to see what you think is important to change in the base game. Your proposed changes to tech levels and maximums seem persuasive.

Two issues that were extensively discussed in ...

Two months ago, I posted a note in the main SC WW1 forum asking for views about how to adjust the play-balance of the Russian Civil War game in this series, Shadow of the Tsars. A number of experienced players had reported that the game is tilted a bit too much against the Bolsheviks. I thought this ...

I was intrigued by hannaj's challenge above, given that I had never seen Serbia surrender in a MP match before the spring of 1915. Frequently, they can hold out much longer, especially if the Entente decides to send French or British units to Serbia to shore up their defences. So, he and I recently ...

Hi igsel,

I am very glad you are keen to try Icarus Version 6.9. As it happens, you posted your challenges about one hour before I uploaded my latest update to the mod. The changes are not terribly important (they address the issues flagged by General Balderdash in October on the Icarus thread ...

Hi - as promised, I have now corrected the issues in Version 6.9 as reported by General Balderdash above in this thread.

I have slightly adjusted the requirements for Germany to maintain control of the three Baltic States, post Brest-Litovsk: one German corps, stormtrooper or cavalry corps needs ...

I heard that there are a lot of bugs in 6.7 including Russia and Italy won't capitulate and/or will rejoin the war. When are these bugs expected to be fixed?


Hi - Those reports were greatly exaggerated and both issues have already been fixed. I have been experimenting in earlier iterations of ...

Think Michael is away at the moment but said he will fix them when he's back


GB is correct. He has been alerting to me to these glitches as he has found them in his current play-test. I am currently travelling and do not have access to my game PC. But I will address all these issues (and any ...

Hi - I personally like the 1912 Balkan League DLC. It has several different land theatres of combat and a small naval dimension as well, but no tech and no diplomacy and only infantry, artillery, cavalry and HQs. Or, you can just jump into the 1914 Call to Arms campaign and play it against the AI on ...

Hi. This is my first time running an SC Mod. I installed the mod, ran it and got this error/warning message.

"Warning"
"Could not find _1914 Icarus.v6.9\campaign.ini"
"Saved game will be loaded without customization"

When I press OK, everything seems to run fine though. Is this normal/OK?


Hi ...

One thing that was mentioned by others and us was some kind of mechanics or house-rule needs to be in place is keep out Poles from eastern Ukraine. Kiev and maybe a little east would be the policy line in Ukraine. A game edit would be way preferable to a house-rule of course.


One of the ...

Whoa! A lot to chew on there. Old Crow your suggestions will be relatively easy to mod. Cradle of the Gael's ideas will be harder and would entail more complex modifications. But some of his suggestions seem doable as well. I would still be interested in reading opinions from other players, though I ...

I think the Russian Civil War game, released as part of the DLC two years ago for SC WW1, is terrific scenario and complements very well the main World War One game. I find it fascinating to have two sides fighting over the entire territory of Russia on the game map, but coming at each other from ...
