This a battle in the "1815 Scenario"

Here's the "Battle Option"

My forces along with Britain's at the start of the battle

and here's a "Chit" view. Prussia is purple, Britain red, and France is blue. You can see a little bit of smoke from the French Artillery

From the West-Civ website:

Players control military, diplomatic, economic, and social aspects of their nations.

What are some examples of social aspects that could be controlled? How do social aspects influence the game?

ORIGINAL: Arditi
Or/and a screen of Gibraltor being assaulted?

Ok, here's an example of me deciding to attack Gibraltar in 1805 as Spain... and the next shot will show what happened a month after I began the siege. Note the level of walls/guns on Gibraltar and the apparent size of the fort on the map compared

And the response (a nice fleet showed up with a few redcoats...)

Here are some screenshots to highlight those aspects. A lot of it revolves around deciding on your level of feudalism, welfare, taxes, draft, labor use, etc. How you develop your provinces and your economy also affects your growth rate and national morale affects your productivity, etc.

Province development...

Could we see some maps from the other scenario's ? Like the 1820 scenario ?

Just a question or 2 on military issues
1. do provinces produce their own militia?
2. military training in the economic screen, the number of months training set is that relevant to the morale level a unit starts at? eg 6 months 1.9 18 months 50r 6 on the scale.

Is troopers' starting morale different by nationality? How about sailors' too?

Each nation has a base morale for its new units. Unit quality also varies by scenario. Provinces have a level of "barracks" and "docks" that determine the increase in quality of divisions and ships that are built in them.

Thanks for the questions.

Provinces can produce their own militia. Number of months training of reinforcements is indeed related to the morale quality of the reinforcements.

Great stuff, thanks.

hey how come in the screens I'm looking at (not from this site) the layout seems crunched together, and otherwise just messed up?

was that a beta screen I saw or something, there were also screens of options that said 'use with caution, these are meant for debugging'.

No idea, I've never seen anything like that. E-mail me at erikr@matrixgames.com with a screenshot - I assume this is from a press review copy?

I got no clue.

Wow, I just popped into this forum for a browse to see what it was all about and now the impulsive little devil has popped up onto my shoulder and forced me to buy the game.. 'it looks totally sweet' he said.. 'go on.. press the add to cart button - you know you want to!' And I just couldn't help meself.

Seriously, it looks excellent! This one has totally slipped under the radar for me.. Can't wait to give it a try. 51% downloaded.. can't wait! [:)]
