Is it possible to see the status of all platoons on campaign map?

<t> Can anyone tell me if it is possible to see the status of all the platoons and support units of a battlegroup while on the strategic map? I can see the active platoons at the bottom of the screen, but I can't seem to find a way of seeing the others. When I'm loading up a saved game, I sometimes ...

RE: Post 1.2.26 patch

<t> I really hope you're right. I just pulled this off the shelf to play for a few days over the holidays, and after 8 of 23 years, playing Prussia on the full campaign, I'm putting it back on the shelf. The whole game just boils down to declare war or be attacked, march for your enemy's capital ...

Mogami, do you mean a different type of delay than pressing "w" to wait for later in the turn (and losing 3 movement points)?

RE: Tactical ?: Changing Formation

<t> My personal preference is to find some way of getting my infantry and artillery into line formation, even if it requires first falling back. The only time I don't make it a priority is when columns will allow me to capture and hold a defensible position, especially heights. Fighting in line will ...

<t> Just to add to Mr. Z's post.<br/>

If I understand your situation, those two countries are considered conquered as long as they're technically under the protection of Austria. You may find that later in the game, they ask you for protectorate status. Strangely enough, you can take them as ...

RE: Treaty question

One little trick I find useful is to always move up the effective date of a treaty condition by one month. The default date is always two months ahead, instead of one month (the minimum)

RE: Few spanish generals

<t> Was just thinking the same thing this week when I picked up an old book about Wellington's Peninsular campaign. Aside from the issue of Spanish generals, I think that there's probably a need for more national character in general, other than differing morale and the geurillas/cossacks/landwehr ...

RE: Upgrading Diplomats

<t> I'm pretty sure the maximum would be 70/70/70. I can't remember what the culture level was, but it's unlikely it was more than 1-2 higher (if any) than the starting 1792 culture level for the province (a Swedish home province, I don't have the game open to check, but the one with the highest ...

RE: Surrender oddities

<t> One thing I've noticed is that the default month for a province to be ceded is one month later for human players than for the computer. Whenever I'm setting out surrender conditions, I move the month ahead one, and I end up with the computer sniping fewer provinces.<br/>

RE: I've been Pirated!

That "declines to rally due to low national morale" message seems to be new to the latest version. Can't figure out what it means, since I've had it for non-allies and even myself, at times of high national morale.

RE: Some Questions!

This is a common situation. It would be nice if there was some check in the code for protectorate builds, to prevent them from building any new fleets, armies, or corps if there is an existing empty one on the map, or something similar. Either that or allow for them to be disbanded.
