Lannes

My flag below.

Last time I was on PvP EU there were forty-seven players! 47! I haven't played the game in weeks. I think the Devs are hinting that they don't give a damn. Where there was constant flow of activity in the past, it has been slowly, inexorably slowing and now it has come to a halt. If it were a single player game, that would not matter, but it is not. It's time that the Devs deliver their promise in a timely manner. This chaos in the game, so full of promise initially, has gone on far too long.

That would mean, on or after Thursday the 27th April up to Thursday the 4th May. Would that be correct? Will this be the last delay?

How beautiful! What a wonderful project!

Thanks zyzko.

If I may be so bold as to correct your spelling: A sailer is a ship, like: 'She's a good sailer.' A sailor is someone who sails the ship.

For some weeks now, when I sign in, Mozilla Firefox has been giving me this message: 'This connection is not secure. Your inserted credentials may be vulnerable.' When I went to the Mozilla site, I got this message: "When Firefox connects to a secure website (the URL begins with "https://"), it must verify that the certificate presented by the website is valid and that the encryption is strong enough to adequately protect your privacy. If the certificate cannot be validated or if the encryption is not strong enough, Firefox will stop the connection to the website and instead show an error page." I have reported this, also via one of the moderators, but nothing has happened to date. Then, I saw that someone got hacked, so I posted this.

You are just too good, Liquicity. I have come out to fight you a couple of times at least, but always got sunk. The others are afraid of losing, or losing their ship and officer, I guess. See you in combat next time. May the best captain win.

Thanks for the reply. But, no, I did not try to create a Lannes character. I had no chance. The player Lannes on Steam is I, so they won't let me create another character without having another account, I surmise. This is the message even before I try to create a character after Steam connects: 'ERROR Master database synchronization failures: Player Lannes cannot be created in the shard at the moment. Such a player already exists.'

I tried to create another character by going to PvE, but the message is: Lannes cannot create another character, that player already exists.

Do you have to pay for each account/character?

I live in Italy, so I guess joining PvP Europe will be what I should do. I will continue with my Clan, Le Legion Etrangère.

Thanks. I don't know what the changes are going to be. At the moment, I am playing PvP One EU. How are Global and the new EU related to this?

There was a diorama of Waterloo made by Captain Siborne and completed in 1838. It had tens of thousands of figures. I used to know the details but cannot now recall them.

Would you kindly tell me what is PvP Global compared to PvP EU, please? I have been playing PvP One EU because I live in Italy (ex-Australia) and am playing in the Naval Action French nation as part of the Le Legion Etrangère clan. How will the change effect me? Should I be playing in the Global or EU?

WHERE is Le Legion Etrangère? We are a French Clan, too, Monsieurs! We have fought and shed blood (lost timber) for France, too!

Thanks for your heartening replies. What would it take to make the UGCW figures just a little bit bigger? I have an i5 4690K 4x3.5Ghz GTX 960. It plays Rome II with 10,000 figures on the screen no problem. The scale of UGCW figures to men varies, but it is about 8 : 1. It is no different than Rome II. Surely, it is possible to have the figures made bigger and even some uniform differences and colours added for certain brigades. I won't play Confederate, because they are all brown. What fun is that? I know some wargamers have a different point of view and some are a little colour blind. I recall one wargaming friend, during my wargames' table years, saying that it woud make no difference to him if the units were represented by blocks of wood. Cheers.

Which words did I use that you think are (1) stern and (2) rude and (3) arrogant, please? I HAVE to be optimistic? Why do I HAVE to? Do I have any rights as a buyer and free tester of this game? Or, do I have to just pay up, suck up and shut up? I have bought a new pair of glasses for my computer and I can tell you I get sore eyes with this game. The Developers have the technology to make Naval Action and yet they stick this overpriced and overrated item under our noses. (Actually, 25mm miniature figures wargames are much more interesting then electronic wargames, but what can one do if one's 1,860 beautifully painted, Napoleonic period figures have been left behind 12,000 miles away. Electronic wargames are the poor cousin to 'toy soldiers' wargames.)

I have played the whole campaign. Now, there is nothing to do but wait for improvements. I've got bored. I will probably not play it again. My suggestions fall on deaf ears. E.g., the figures are too small by far. They are not colourful. They do not represent the way the two armies were uniformed. The cavalry does not move like cavalry. The skirmishers do not move like skirmishers. The infantry does weird snake-like movements to change position. The good part is that you can place your own general officers and field officers in command from the Barracks, and you can upgrade your weapons from the Armoury. The reason why the cavalry is so badly programmed, I think, is because (a) the developers do not understand cavalry in American Civil War history very well, and (b) because they think that American Civil War cavalry not being European, must behave like cossacks (which were never regular cavalry).

No result, Henry. My Firefox is still saying this site is not secure. What is the matter? Are they using old technology? Why is there no response from the Developers? Why is this being ignored?

Can I DEMOTE my Generals? I have too many Major Generals. I would rather if I could control promotions to Major General and above.

The forums are still not secure according to Firefox!

A few things that need fixing IMHO. 1. When in fortified positions like farms, my Union troops can be flanked. How is this possible that a fortified position can be flanked? 2. My skirmishers give one volley, then they retreat. The AI's skirmishers stand, do not move and fight even against 10 times their number. How is it so? 3. 50 enemy skirmishers from behind my 2,000-man brigade can make it run away by rear-flanking. Is this possible? 4. It is very difficult to move brigades in formation of half divisions or full divisions. The right button on the mouse does not always allow it. Can we have formations, please? 5. The movement of the brigades is odd. They change face by a snake-like movement that always exposes them to flanking fire. That's not a military movement. 6. Please, make the cavalry behave like cavalry. That is, it should move forward in lines (column of squadrons), charge in lines and retreat in lines. Only when routing should they move as they do now.

My computer is telling me this site is not secure. It is the same thing with Naval Action forum. This is the first time it has happened. Have there been some changes?
