Nox165 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I am really tired of reporting the same thing over and over, At the battle of Shiloh. Corps commanders do not have names, They are named "corps #" their historical names are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably because of corrupted save, because previous version had a bug in asset of battle rewards and we fixed. Let us know if problem persists in a new game session.

Does this mean I should redo whole Chancellorsville/Salem Church battle again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Sanford Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Why only 3 corps allowed for the Union at Gettysburg? If any battle called for a maxed out AO of 10, that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that is exactly what he is saying, When certain things are changed, the engine cannot change what you have in your current campaign, other things changed, it makes no difference.

Zwerty99 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 From the dev blog page, the battle looks beautiful. Happy to hear adjustments in the fortifications, and even happier to see said fortifications on Culps hill (I hope for both sides). I agree on what another said earlier--Union should be able to bring more than 3 corp. Also, do I see regiment-level troops for archer, cutler, davis, and iron? I assume this is for balance so more than 2 brigades are on in the first part, but I hope they combine later so to match the rest of the army.

I actually merge the regiments (both for union and rebels) at Oak Ridge, but that's your option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Sooooo everyone else is skipping 2nd Winchester as Union as well, right? Yeesh thats a tough one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperlord Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 My gut reaction to Second Winchester is that it would be far less of a pain if it was an hour shorter. As it is, I'm taking too many casualties winning it for it to be worth it to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don't Escrow Taxes Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Also running into the -3 Career point issue, and on the Union side I am getting two defense medals instead of one. Thanks for the patch! PUMPED UP to play it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william1993 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) did you give the enemy AI more intelligence or something? I was at 2nd bull run battle as the rebs, and the Union army straight up banged and banged at the railroad cut until they pushed up back then attacked stony ridge woods. They never did that level of sensible action before I like it Edited February 14, 2017 by william1993 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle of Salem Church immediately follows, yes...but you may deploy a fresh corps if you have it. It's not a very tough battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nox165 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hey whats the the forces numbers at Gettysburg? Correct me I am wrong but historically the forces where around 100,000 union vs 75,000 csa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me I am wrong but historically the forces where around 100,000 union vs 75,000 csa? Coddington, the standard on the battle, estimated maybe as few as 85,000 effectives for the Union, versus about 75,000 for the Confederates. Other estimates put the Union forces 90-95,000, so about right yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Label Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Are there any plans on either reducing, or removing the battle timer at all? I feel like it's super punishing for players who like to take their time and be deliberate with their troop deployment. I can't count the amount of times I have literally had the AI surrounded on all sides, pounding them with line infantry and artillery and I arbitrarily fail the mission because "Oh sorry you ran out of time" even though I was clearly winning the battle. I have asked other people who have the game on my friends list to see if it's just me and they agree with me that it's super punishing. It seems like it's trying to force the player to play counter to their play style, which is kinda counter intuitive to me. I would really like to play this game, but I can't help but get frustrated with the timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
