CA tried that idea in Rome 2 and had to abandon it after uproar from irate fans. It's an idea stolen from Game Workshop tabletop games and has no historical precedent.
I think we are forgetting the sleeping lion in background. Whilst victory in Europe might have secured peace for a time, Britain was determined to ensure that Europe was not united either under...
It's a big assumption, but if he had been able to emerge victorious then I think we would have seen the re-emergence of a French Empire even larger than that achieved by the Bourbon Monarchy. It was...
There are mods that improve all of the things you mention, but ultimately it comes down to personal taste and preference. e.g. What you consider to be better and more realistic, may not be what I...
I'm using WeaponFX together with the Battlefield Blood and Smoke Mod and No Trails. I think the Darth Mod incorporates those mods anyway, but I preferred not to take the entire package as I didn;t...
I'm 156 turns into my dwarven campaign and not having much trouble on Hard difficulty. But it is my third attempt, and the first two campaigns went belly-up pretty quickly, due entirely to poor...
Strictly speaking all infantry units should have the option to detach about one third of their strength as a skirmisher screen, whether light infantry or not. The remaining two thirds were retained...
Yes!I have looked at it.
The main reason I haven't purchased it or endorsed it in any way is that ultimately it is only a battle simulator, albeit a pretty good one, and to be a competitor for...
It's worth noting that acording to Natziger the time required for an infantry battalion to form square from line was well over two minutes, and from column to line almost two minutes. So, in order...

Yes, the major issue that all TW games have with cavalry is that it does not have any mechanism for projecting the intimidation and suppression effect of cavalry on local enemy units. Thus instead...
The old WGR table top rules had a very simple system for adjudicating infantry charges, and cavalry charges against infantry.
1) The unit wishing to initiate the charge had to have a positive...
Napoleon 1813 is probably the closest thing I've seen to a perfect Napoleonic campaign simulation. Unfortunately, it was completely bug ridden and crashed constantly and that coupled with a few...
Well nobody has released a decent Napoleonic game yet so I'm still hanging about and hoping. Been playing Rome 2 and Shogun 2 while I wait. But since the 1813 disaster nobody even seems interested...
The only concern I have with this idea is that it opens up the possibility of deploying infantry in a single rank without diminishing their firepower, but I'm sure you've thought of that.
Good suggestion.
I did exactly what you proposed and it turned out to my surprise that the cause was the 7_Years_War_Battlepack_vFull. so i've disabled that mod and everything seems to be working...
Has anyone else got a problem with Light Dragoons?
For some reason every time a unit of Light Dragoons tries to fire from the saddle my game crashes to desktop. I can sometimes see them go...
It's an interesting distinction and whilst I'm not trying to justify the British impressment laws, they were not as heavy handed as many historians (particularly American) like to suggest. The...
I think you need to go back and read my post again.
I suggested that you take the time to study the related to the impressment of seamen for service in the Royal Navy.
The comment I made about...
No! At least not in my experience.
Gifting money to another nation doesn;t have any obvious effect on their behaviour. What it does do is boost their relationship with you slightly. It an...
I suspect that the best option is the one suggested by Bad213Boy, which is just to edit the conditions of it occurring to something so extreme that will rarely if ever get triggered.
I've found in...
I've been playing HOI3 for a few months now having picked it up in the steam sale for an amazing £1.99. Mind you I then went on to buy all the expansions and mods once I decided I liked it. So, it...
I read the previous Changing the Flag thread from 2012, and based on the guidance given, I successfully replaced both the German and Soviet flags in my FTH expansion version of the game....
Are you aware of anywhere that provides replacement/alternative *.tga files for download?
I've downloaded two flag mods but they both include the German swastika battle flag which doesn't bother...
After Empire Totalwar I vowed never to pre-order any TW game again, and never to get suckered by a collectors edition or pre-order bonus. so, this is a non-starter as far as I am concerned. I don't...
My son and I like to play MP Co-Op games, but we find the options avaialbe in Rome 2 quite limited because of the way it is designed. It's much easier in Shogun 2 for instance, though even there one...
My son and I are about ten hours into am MP Co-Op game and suddenly my version of the game has stopped scrolling on the campaign map.
Neither the Mouse Scroll nor the WSAD keys will move the map...
Hi Luftmarine, I'm not sure how much help we can be on this forum as i understand that the weapon you own was converted in 1838/39 and so the plate inscriptions may relate to a period after the...
He didn't 'cock-up' at all, in so far as he openly admits that the regiment is fictional.
His historical note clearly states that The Royal Guard of Spain in the Napoleonic Wars consisted of four...
Unfortunately, I had to delete this mod when I discovered that it invalidates the Idle Trait Mod, and so opens the door for those annoying garrison traits again. I really wanted to try this mod out,...
That would suggest to me that the individual units have a some sort of unique identifier which is causing a conflict when the game engine tries to reference it. That makes logical sense, as the game...
Ok! Thanks.
I've started again, as the tiny units were really uninspiring. Even 160 per unit is a bit low.
I made the mistake of starting a new campaign ('Ceasar in Gaul') without checking the options, and I'm several turn in and getting really fed-up with the tiny units the game provides as a default.

How can you be sure the Dutch won't just take their 20 fluyts off the trade node and use them to wipe the board with all the other navies. Twenty fluyts is a pretty powerful fleet in the early game....
Correction your quite right, there is a Dutch trade fleet in the East Indies at the start of their campaign. It's obviously been a long while since I played the Dutch. Not sure about the Portuguese...
I'm not sure what you mean.
Each trade zone has five trade ports, its really up to the AI and player how and if they expliotthem or not. At the start of the campaign there are not trade fleets...
I've always assumed that the ivory resource was a substitute for slaves e.g. black ivory - was the term used at the time. But I've never felt the need to change the labelling. There are more...
That does sound like the bloom setting problem I had.
Does it look anything like this:

If so try disabling HDR Bloom in the GFX...
Can you post a screenshot?
I know in my game the 'bloom' settings make anything white glow horribly, so I had to turn those off. But I don't remeber it affecting the UI.
