Matt P Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 One thing I forgot was the ability to order different formations. Have a brigade take an "L" shaped formation when needed or be able to order a formation to "Refuse its flank" when attacked. Also for a unit to stay limbered or in column until I command it to form line or the enemy is near. Thanks Matt P. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derpus.maximus Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hi Nick, could you do something about the Cold Harbor Union 1st phase in the campaign? Union reinforcements arrive far too late to have any impact on the battle, and the Union loses if it can't hold the objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civsully1 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 BUT please get rid of the weapon scaling! Otherwise Thanks for making the game get better with each patch! Most appreciated. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weight your 1st Division to have MASSSSIIIIIVE overwhelming 2500 huge men brigades. That way you can resist the confederate assault fairly easily through using detached skirmishers to cover your flanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vren55 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 And Nick, thanks for all your hard work. Can't wait until this patch because after this, I"m going to be making a new campaign! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did 1 division with all 2500 man brigades and i could hold the spot until the reinforcements came on the field. And have those reinforcements run as soon as they show up on the screen. I used the breastworks for my 2500 man brigades that were north of the actual flag spot. I kept one brigade free to turn south or west depending on where the attack was comign from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ensure you didn't subscribe to any betas and actually updated the game to the latest patch. A couple of people had an issue trying to open Gettysburg or was it Chickamauga b/c the creators put out a 0.77 beta and the people trying to update forgot to unsubscribe to that beta. All you need to do after update is click on your latest battle save and it'll automatically give you the camp screen after your last battle. MAKE SURE TO SAVE THAT. So you can return to it.

Fetzen Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I agree with what was said before: Having the option for fixed enemy strength on normal difficulty would be great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you look at the historical version of the battle in-game, Union reinforcements show up with approximately an hour left, and then you wonder why the discrepancy.

While this is welcome, it's not going to really help unless you do something about artillery ammunition usage. I set up a quick test on River Crossing. I normalized two artillery units so that they had the same stats and no perks, equipped them both with 10pd Ordnance guns, and let them blast away. My Corps commander has the +20% ammunition perk, and I have three points in Logistics for another +15% ammunition. I ran two tests, one with a 10,000 supply wagon, and one with a 3,000 supply wagon. Once they exhausted their ammunition (roughly one game hour), I stopped them from shooting and refilled their ammunition. It appears that a zero-star 8-gun 10pd Ordnance battery, Efficiency 11 and Command 53/54, can use approximately 1,250 supply in 1.5 game hours. So four inexperienced 8-gun batteries are going to use the entire extra 10,000 supply in just three game hours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK58_XHrikk I then reconfigured another save to test the +50% ammunition perk on one unit, and the Stamina perk on the other unit. This time, I had a commander without the +20% ammunition perk, but still had the 3 points in Logistics for +15% ammunition. It looks like the +50% ammunition perk doesn't do anything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp9iFzkZh18 Both units use ammunition at the same rate (slightly faster than the previous test, since their Efficiency is higher), and both refill with exactly 1,250 ammunition. This leads me to believe that none of the +% ammunition perks are working for artillery units. Edited May 15, 2017 by Aetius 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karri Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Well done. This is why it would be really beneficial to see some of the values(like the supply wagon stockpile, or unit ammo) in pure numbers instead of just bars. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjku Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Ideally I wish the wagons has separate supplies for artillery and for infantry and you had some level of control over what they give out. If one is not real careful with routing of them you can find that because they strayed closed to an artillery concentration they got cleaned out on the way to a hard pressed infantry division. Maybe just an equivalent of the ceasefire command for the supply wagon might help here so I can move them to where I want and supply only who I want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civsully1 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I just hope the teleportation at the conclusion of multi-part/day battles and weapon scaling...are fixed/removed....please. Otherwise as anxious as we all are, I want them to take the time so that what is being patched works. And that our fine band of brothers play testers give their feedback to the developers so they know fixes are working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
