AJ McCully Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Been giving Antietam a shot as the CSA on Major General and I'm finding the scaling of the Union army fascinating. Often when people talk about scaling, it's only in vague terms ("add a few thousand, lose a few thousand") and I haven't seen exact figures for how the game decides on the size of the army you face. Ideally, I want to find the optimal army size to bring to Antietam. Is it possible to look into the mathematics behind it? Has this topic of precise scaling factors been discussed before?

Wandering1 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 As I mentioned in several other posts by now, if you want to see the precise scaling factors, they're already getting printed out in the log files. As far as Major General's scaling goes, the enemy army size is 25% larger on top of any other scaling factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The optimal army size at Antietam is whatever you'll need at Fredericksburg... Because all you should be doing at Antietam is running away Monty Python style. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william1993 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The other day I played an Antietam on BG where i had 55K and the union had 73K and I slaughtered them to death. I thought the scaling was worse than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beruldsen Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 What level were you playing? On Normal (BG) I'm sure the scaling was twice my army (44 vs 83)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
