TANAKA MOD 10.0 SCACW: EVENTS, TECHNOLOGY, AND BREAKTHROUGHS!

[Tanaka]

TANAKA MOD 9.0: TRAINS, INDIANS, RANGERS, AND RAIDERS!

Partisan location rework and additions. Georgia Partisans added.

Trains added to the Confederacy:

The General
Texas
William R. Smith
Yonah

Trains added to the Union:

J.H. Devereux
Talisman
William Mason
The Dictator
Monitor
Dry Land Merrimac

Rangers added to the Confederacy:

Anderson's Bandits

Moccasin Rangers
Morgan's Raiders
Mosby's Rangers
Phantom Raiders
Quantrill's Raiders

Raiders added to the Union:

Andrew's Raiders

Ranger builds increased to 4 for CSA and Union.

Indian and Border State diplomacy slightly tweaked: Indians are not as strong and overwhelming all at once and take a little longer to come around. Indians must be bought and armed. You cannot buy two Indian units at once. Tribes that were less aligned to CSA historically have been lowered. Missouri leans a bit more to CSA and Kentucky a bit more to Union. Comanche can be interacted with now. Pueblo lean more towards Union. Osage lean a little less towards Union. Mainly things are slowed down a bit.

The Comanche can now be interacted with diplomatically.

Union and Confederacy can now build 3 armored trains and 3 siege trains.

What are the tweaks regarding diplomacy?

What are the tweaks regarding diplomacy?

Hi if you load up the first turn and look in the diplomacy tab you can see the starting differences. Mainly Indians are not as strong all at once now and take a little longer to come around. Tribes that were less aligned to CSA historically have been lowered. Also you can not buy two Indian units at once now. Missouri leans a bit more to CSA and Kentucky a bit more to Union. Comanche can be interacted with now. Pueblo lean more towards Union. Osage a little less. Just small tweaks to more align with my mod to slow things down a bit...

Mud movement has been increased by 1 as it was causing too many on road off road issues.

Most CSA Arms Manufactures and Industries added: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_C ... ufacturers

Selling the cotton event now costs 35,000 morale points for CSA immediately and they gain 2000 MPP's over 10 turns. A further 5000 morale points will be lost when the price of cotton inevitably falls.

Traveling loop events adjusted and re-balanced. Return loop for CSA from Fort Worth TX to San Antonio TX added.

AI researching re-balancing and improvement.

Field Artillery and Siege Artillery can now attack naval units.

CSS Arkansas arrives: June 1862 Berwick, LA
CSS Palmetto State arrives: October 1862 Charleston, SC
CSS Chicora arrives: November 1862 Charleston, SC
CSS Atlanta arrives: November 1862 Savannah, GA
CSS Charleston arrives: September 1863 Charleston, SC
CSS Tennessee arrives: February 1864 Mobile, AL
CSS Columbia arrives: March 1864 Charleston, SC

Mobility tech added: Each new level of Mobility increases the horse and wagon transport which increases the Action Points of Field and Siege Artillery and HQ and Infantry by 1.

Confederate ships in port at Cape Hatteras NC or Beaufort SC are now sent to New Berne NC or Savannah GA when the Union takes over these ports by event instead of being deleted. Thank you once again mdsmall for your help with events!

Hi Tanaka
Enjoying your mod with the exception of how to deal with naval mines. The CSA laid mines in front of Nashville and New Orleans and the USA has been stymied for over a year since is no way of removing them. Naval units can't enter the hexes and the USA can't construct mine sweepers. Any suggestions as to how to get rid of the naval mines as the manual and searches of the board don't really have any guidance ...
Thanks

Hmm the CSA should only be able to lay one mine at a time. As far as clearing them you are supposed to be able to ram them with your ships by moving into them...but you are saying you cannot so thanks for reporting I will look into it! I have sent you a PM if you could provide screenshots thanks

Also they are only in the SCWW1 manual and game. I added them in my mod.

Thank you so you are not able to run your ships through the mines? Can you run your land units through them? Looks like the build limit of one mine is not working either. Looks like I will probably need to remove naval mines from the mod then if neither of those are working correctly...

Is this a SP or MP game? Would like to get your save game if possible...

Ok I believe I have figured out the issues after speaking with the Devs. The build limit issue has been fixed. Each level of Naval Tactics will now allow 1 naval mine each for the CSA so only a total of 4 for the entire game at very slow and costly levels. The problem with mine movement is that in order to take them out you need to be able to move through them into the next hex. By setting them to 100% weather destruction chance now if you move next to or into the mine it should always explode. This issue should be mostly solved now with the new limits and percentage explosion change. Thanks for reporting! Mod updated!

SP game. I can't move land or naval units through the naval mine hexes. My .02 naval mines or torpedoes as they were called then are ahistorical as to the effect in your mod. At no point in the American Civil War did naval mines completely prevent ships from moving through the mined areas. I would suggest they be removed unless some unit is available for purchase that can remove them. Regardless I thank you for your hard work on your mod.

If you email me a save file then I can remove them from the river in your game if you like.

Billrunacre thank you for the offer to remove the naval mines. At this point my game is toast as it's nearly 1864 and because of the naval mines and my own ineptitude I have not really progressed to a point where the game is salvageable. So at this point I won't waste your time.

In the new update each level of Naval Tactics will now only allow 1 naval mine each for the CSA so only a total of 4 for the entire game at very slow and costly levels. Mines will now 100% explode if you move next to them, into them, or past them. This issue is solved now. Thanks for reporting! Mod updated!
