    Re: Help w reinforcements

    An army on land can't reinforce a navy. The 'leg' symbol is forced march which means it can't reinforce anyway (gives extra movement, but not after disembarking on a shore). Look for the arrows...

    Re: Whole-World Mod from 1204 to 1648

    Mapping is easy. It's probably easier to make a map from scratch than to make a single unit, so I'd worry about that last. It's just good to plan to use your 199 provinces effectively.

    Re: Whole-World Mod from 1204 to 1648

    Sounds great and already looks promising. Factions seemed a little odd at first but they're actually pretty great choices - certainly better than Falcom. If I could make a suggestion - set one...

    There's no wrong culture penalty. You can see the public order breakdown in the settlement screen.

    You could remove reinforcement, that is, two armies joining the same fight. Ie. make everything a night battle. I don't know about you but I can't control 20 units individually let alone 40. I don't...

    Re: Total War games as Real Time Strategies

    I assumed you meant that battles would take place over a period of campaign map time, like EU. In Lords of the Realm III armies all move around on the campaign map in real-time, together. When they...
  7. Re: Dominant strategy in ATW: “Sniping groups of armies”

    I know this is exactly how I play, all TWs since Shogun 2 in fact. I never try to bleed the AI's money though, that's a lost cause. The early game is the most fun to me because I can't just...

    Re: Total War games as Real Time Strategies

    Real-time battles (I assume you mean Lords of the Realm 3 style) would be just awful. Imagine suddenly being in charge of an AI-vs-AI battle, half-way through - units all over the place, your...

    Re: Editing Names for Generals/Campaigns

    Sounds like it's looking for the English localization for your new names, which would need to be added to a separate file entirely.

    Re: US Army in WWII - Who fought where ?

    Presumably for the sake of transportation, and being stationed in bases closer to their homes. And you wouldn't have to cross a continent for home leave.
  11. Re: some help on learning the mod please. how to effectively use your armies?

    I can answer a few of these, but I doubt I play optimally. Build historical armies, retrain too much and I rush heavily.

    You're right. Got it confused with release prisoners.
  14. Re: "Pardoned captives" - consequences of releasing prisoners?

    I'm quite sure you don't get troops back in Rome II, or any of the games since Empire - since they programmed Warscape for Empire it's just not part of the engine.

  15. Re: "Pardoned captives" - consequences of releasing prisoners?

    I haven't noticed them returning to their army - I don't believe the captives actually 'exist'. I think it's a number based on how many broken/shattered soldiers you run down, but you can get traits...
  16. Re: Why do we pretend the crimes of Nazi Germany are unique?

    It's multi-faceted of course, but chiefly an issue of propaganda. WW2 has become an almost integral part of US, Russian and British (and its colonies') ideology. The Axis atrocities were on such an...

  22. Re: Lack of horses in the Americas, how much did it hinder civilization development?

    This is all true, but of minor impact, and you can use other animals for all of these things. You build with wood or mud if stone is too hard to move, build granaries closer to your fields if they're...

  24. Re: Lack of horses in the Americas, how much did it hinder civilization development?

    Ruminants need to graze constantly to survive, and even that is dependent on the environment. If you use horses for farm work or transport they need to be fed instead. They don't make everything more...
  25. Re: Lack of horses in the Americas, how much did it hinder civilization development?

    Transport of people really doesn't matter to sedentary cultures - only goods. Americans had no trouble trading their surplus with sleds and boats - they had little in excess. You get inferior, but...
  26. Re: Lack of horses in the Americas, how much did it hinder civilization development?

    Well technically no, as you can use other animals than horses to plough (none of which were domesticated in the Americas), and dogs and llamas were used for trade.

    Because it was ethnically Ainu at this point, not Japanese. There is only one culture in the game, Japanese, with one set of units. So no Ainu or Ryukyu.

    Re: why is my i5 4670k so :wub:ing hot??

    This is NOT normal. IIRC above 60 C is potentially damaging to a CPU, 70 for a GPU, and you'd definitely want it lower than that.

    Sadly I don't know anything about cooling other than fans, but I think the problem is more likely to be something other than old paste due to the high temperature. Other than that I can't help. Sorry.
