Sykes Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Does this mean investing in recon is now obsolete? Edited June 7, 2017 by Sykes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre Bolkonsky Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 50 minutes ago, Sykes said: Does this mean investing in recon is now obsolete? You want 4 points in recon off the bat. This opens the invaluable force bar at the top of the screen so you know in general the relative strength of each army. After that, no one has proven it is worth further investment. Ideally, take the Tactician/Cavalry/Politics chain. That seems to be the popular option at the moment. YOu start with the 4 recon points, plus the political advantage will give you extra cash throughout the entire campaign and this adds up over time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hjalfnar_Feuerwolf Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Love the new update! As I am an total rookie to the game as I didn't want to start a campaign until it was fully implemented, I only played the first 3 battles for 3 or 4 times. It know feels far more realistic, after the battle of Distress Call the message of an enemy colonel said he was in fear of getting stripped of his duties. xD Loved that one, great immersion! This was probably the last part of the puzzle to make this quite good game a very good one. Great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Mercanto Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'm really excited about this update. I think everyone is going to love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnypemberton Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 on MG mode, it seems that no matter how badly I beat an enemy, they are reinforced substantially. I have played through Shiloh and after each battle (they suffer crushing defeats) they get 10k or more men. I went from facing an army of ~35k men to now ~65k men right after Shiloh. Is this as intended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this as intended? Seems like it. They're gearing up for Gaines' Mill - though if you spank them badly enough at Secure River, Rendevouz, and Seven Pines, you can earn yourself an easier battle at Gaines' Mill and Malvern Hill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this as intended? MG and Legendary you will basically not be able to completely deplete the enemy forces. That is intended. Also keep in mind that the intelligence report number is not the exact same as the actual number of enemies you'll face in the next battle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karri Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Playing as CSA on BG and Union seems to get about 40k fresh recruits after every major battle. Add in another 20-30k after winning minor battles. Seems like they get reinforced to certain level? So far the new system is working quite well, and also seems to keep my army somewhat in check.

Col_Kelly Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Normally it's intended to see the impact of your victories around Antietam / Stones River. Before that the AI will reinforce it's army no matter what as he has many available recruits (it's early war after all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i64man Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Awesome....but if the Fixed strength is obsolete and has been removed, what will happened to current ongoing campaign if the player selected the fix strength option? Will a restart necessary or the system will adjust from that point? Also, will it affect a battle in-progress? Thanks for the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterner Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 It will be converted into Easy and AI strength will be taken from default value for your actual date. If you want to get full effect from dynamic campaign then better to restart. Moreover, all difficulty levels were tuned and old easy is almost new normal. Now you can find suitable difficulty level for your gameplay style and level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i64man Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Thanks Sterner... I did not notice the comment at the bottom of the blog suggesting just that. Oh well, I will start new campaing (I am currently on the last day of Gettysburg as the union). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterner Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 You can continue, because you still have chance to influence on AI army strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i64man Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) In that case, I will finish Gettysburg and the start new. I love this game, can't get enough... Edited June 8, 2017 by i64man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. P. Hill Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I always restarted my campaign with each update. I suppose that's why I've never made it past 2nd Manassas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
