TANAKA MOD 11.0 SCACW: FORTS!

[Tanaka]

The General
Texas
William R. Smith

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...

TANAKA MOD 10.0: EVENTS, TECHNOLOGY, AND BREAKTHROUGHS!

Several coastal ports adjusted and attached to roads that were not switching sides.

All unit AP has been increased by 1 as some movement was too slow and difficult. Due to this change the Mobility Tech has been removed.

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

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

Selling the cotton event now costs 30,000 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

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!

So I hate to be a pain ... really enjoying your mod but I am not understanding how I have not captured Beaufort NC. There does not seem to be anyway to successfully take the port although I have taken the city. What am I missing? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you for the fix. Is my current game compatible with the update? If so how do I load it? Thanks.

I do not think it is compatible as it is a new version but I would not abandon your game just take another port...

TANAKA MOD 11.0: FORTS!

New fort graphics! Thanks to Unfortunate Son for working on the new fort coloring scheme and resize to include with my mod!

Fort Motte, SC removed. This was an American Revolutionary Fort.

Fort Fanning FL removed. This was an Seminole War Fort.

Fort Harllee FL removed. This was a Seminole War Fort.

Fort Gibson is no longer a secondary supply center.

Fort Cobb is no longer a secondary supply center.

Fort Washita is no longer a secondary supply center.

Diplomatic influence for the CSA is now 6% to reflect the value of cotton.

Union FS has been raised to 110% due to the slower game pace.

The random Union cities that start at 0 supply on turn 1 have been removed and start at full supply. This is to give the Union a bit more boost at game start to get going due to slower game pace.

Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio town and rail rework.

Reduced minor river crossing penalty by 1 which was making movement on certain terrain with zones of control difficult.

Many towns and cities adjusted according to size and population.

Vicksburg is now a heavily fortified city and supply port on a bluff.

Interesting Mod. I have played the Confederates and here are my early views:

1) 30,000 points for selling the cotton. I love it! I usually sell the cotton for various reasons, but now it means more, especially as I am getting 200 extra, instead of 175.

2) I am confused by spotting. My cavalry could only see something by bumping into it. I felt frozen because any advance would lead to a Monongahela level of ambush. When you say one hex, do you mean the hex adjacent to the spotting unit?

3) I appreciate more navigable rivers. It is hard reinforcing Apalachicola in the factory game.

4) The Advice pop up warns us not to march on Jefferson city, yet no troops are in Arkansas. Seems wasted.

5) In the version I have, neither side have any preprogramed investments. The Union, for example, does not have naval engines, while the Confederates have to special cavalry power.

6) My personal complaint about the strategic command civil war series as a whole: inflation. In the SSI game, No Greater Glory, the Confederate congress rarely allows tax increases and so the player usually starts using paper money early on to purchase what he needs, and so inflation starts to become the great internal enemy of the Confederacy. The rise in prices damages Confederate morale as much as military defeats. I have seen no mechanism for this in Strategic Command. In the SSI game, recognition by Britain and France are the only ways to halt the inflation, due to their funding. I have tried to simulate this by using soft purchase, but leads to the Confederates have too many of everything.
