[FAN MADE VIDEOS [OLD]]

You guys should check the videos from Agrippa Maxentius, he made plenty of them and is a really good commentator imo. He deserves more views and there is a lot to learn from his multiplayer videos.

[GAME IS BROKEN! WHAT THE HECK! UPDATE BLOWS!]

Darth,

 

I have the same problem as the guy who started this topic (i.e. no troops on the battlefield, suddenly night, and nothing to do but enjoy the birds singing ). This happens only when loading previous savegames from 1.03.

 

I started yesterday a new battle with 1.1 and all works fine. I haven't tried the multiplayer yet.

[Where's the patch?]

Why don't you release the patch as a Beta players can just opt in/out via the Steam menu ? At least we could play on single player while you tune Multiplayer.

[Routing units surrendering]

Hello everyone,

 

As many players I sometime see some enemy units routing through my lines, ignoring the losses I inflict them with canister and ending up in melee with my artillery... logically my artillery units in melee with a brigade are torn to pieces within seconds. The number of casualties of my artillery units in melee seems to be a power law or something similar.

 

So here is a suggestion : why not giving to all routing units a similar vulnerability in melee that artillery currently has ? This would nicely simulate the contagion of surrendering within the broken unit.

[Next Ultimate General Game, What would you like to see?]

For the gameplay : I understand that full-scale wars and year-long campaigns can be difficult to implement. Then why not adding instead a bigger map where we can move our regiments, divisions, on a larger scale (days & tens of km) as the map that currently shows the mission briefing ? This would help personalize the battle a step further. Then, when they clash, we zoom-in to the current battle scale (hours & km). "Kind of" total war, but still for one battle only.

 

For the era : The wars of the league of Cambrai & Cognac : a melting pot between Milan, Florence, Venice, the Papal States, Spain, the HRE and France fighting for the wealth of Northern Italy.

And, obviously, the battle of Ligny, Qattre-bras and eventually Waterloo. It would fit this game perfectly.

Every Napoleonic battle would be great actually, Austerlitz, Dresden, etc... each of them being a DLC ? 

 

EDIT : this link is a goldmine should the developers decide to do the Waterloo 4 days campaign !

[New patch in progress (Updated 21/2/2015)]

Hi,

 

Where exactly can we try the beta ? Do we need a special authorization to access the "closed forum" ?

 

Thanks,

 

ps: great game Darth !
