Wasnt sure about the combat upgrades in this title over the older ones but that is a good thing to know thanks!

I had the same problem with the Ageod combat system that you had, but the new reporting system makes all the difference in the world.

During the battle, you get a text report of what is happening at the bottom of the screen, such as troops committed, routs, lulls in the battle, etc. The new combat report enables you to actually look at what each unit did in the battle, during each round of the battle,including events like showing cowardice, effective fire, making good use of terrain,effective tactical leadership, and many others. I really enjoy following the elite units, who usually do better. The reports actually show the special abilities of the unique units being used, which is nice to see. You can follow a particular unit, say the 4th Jagers, in every battle, which can actually get you to have a concern for that particular unit. This really helps the immersion, and has solved the ageod combat problem for me completely.

If you want to see the text reporting, it is important to make sure that the battle animation is set to the slowest speed in the options.

Oh wow that is a HUGE difference! Is that available only on the latest two titles? Or just the Revolution Under Siege?

As far as I know, it is only in ROP and Revolution under Siege. I have asked Ageod if they could retrofit this system to their other games, and they were supportive of the idea, though they gave no time span.

I have not played RUS, but I assume that it is like ROP in that yes, the battle screen pops up, but then it disappears, but in the message box, you can bring up the battle results again and look at it for any length of time to see what happened.

I have to say I also love this improvement.

I have been playing the Demo and like what I see. I have played AGEod's American Civil War and love it so I am looking forward to this one. I will buy it next week.

well during a turn, there is the option to check 'pause on battle' also, to inspect the report at your leisure.

I just got the game and this looks very interesting indeed. Being Finnish myself, I never could have imagined that one day I would see a strategy game which has even a scenario about our 1918 civil war...unbelievable! I've tried couple other AGEOD games, but in my opinion this one seems to be best. Very interesting historic era, and one that hasn't before seen in wargames.

OT: The map of Finland has some mistakes, I've noticed these:

Vuoski, should be VUOKSI
Kymjoki, should be KYMIJOKI
Yovesi, should be RUOVESI (I suppose)
Langelmavshi, should be LÄNGELMÄVESI
Kironjoki, should be KYRÖJOKI

The lake located south of city of Joensuu is definitely not 'Lake Orivesi', but this really doesn't matter...

This game would be terrific if it was supported better. Official patch 1.03 screws up the weather (no seasonal weather changes!) and degenerates AI behaviour. Obviously it wasn't tested before release. From AGEOD forums you can see that the developers don't care.

Have to add that playing with version 1.02b is a lot of fun, and with upcoming Fatal Years Mod it should be even more so.

I can see now what you mean and I totally agree. Updated my RUS yesterday to version 1.03, played Finnish civil war scenario couple of times through - it's always winter! Let's hope that they will solve these problems in the future... BTW, the other AGEOD title Pride of Nations seems to be a game with huge potential within it, but it is obvious that they released this one way too early - even after 1.02 patch game crashes and sometimes it will not even start!
