Lodilefty,
I please you to give posted files a glance: last game turn is relative to 1780, July from "The White of your eyes".
The save name for the campaign is quite strange: do not ask me reasons for, do not know them.

look again. the file downloaded is 1755 campaign.
support email had different files

Guess you are right.
File sent to AGEod Support was "1775 Campaign_02of.rar" while one at rapidshare is "1755_Campaign0.rar".
I apologize for the troubles and confusion I caused you.
I definitely need to put some order in my PC desktop and to clean my USB storage tools: I'm till using an off-line PC while gaming and a second PC for net connection!

I may wage wars but I largely prefer peace.

If interested and if possible, send me the link : i will post it on Ageod board.

You have many to loose from this war; I have nothing to gain!
A good reason to chose peace.

I'm already managing the thing by some old friend: I'd like to keep that all at a place where I can take part to the debate and support assistance........ possibly a board where I'm not "detested throughout those forums"!

The game turn is the same: 1780 December.

With the beta we had a mess of EP: 643, that although all options were expended as soon as they were available.
With "1.04c official" EP availability is dramatically reduced, expecialy in first years of the scenario, when player have to decide in favour of an option, missing some others for EP shortage.
That's great and forces player to strategic decisions and overseeing to capitalize few resources.
Notice, in last game turns player side, here British, is taking a decisive advantage over the AI. EP point start to accumulate, because perhaps of increased number of controlled objectives and captures(?).
The number of available Options seems to be decreased... Is that a scenario editor choice, taking in account British tireness for war in the colonies?

Anyway very good! Another game aspects really improved!
I assume that same was with other scenarios.

A QUESTION!
The FE counter for the British is negative!
None the less France and Spaign already entered the war supporting US rebels: FE counter was negative at that time too.
Are we sure options modifying FE in British favour actually delate France and Spaign intervention in the war?

Don' t feed the troll, even when this troll worked some hundred hours to produce a mod for AGEOD Napoleon Campaigns.... By the way, do you know JastaV has deleted the mod file some weeks ago? Troll's courtesy for players indeed.

The troll, after so righful reviews handmade for such a disastrous game like WIA, should play others... Or is it baffled by the lack of better other games? Or is the troll just a fool with an overinflated ego ?

Stay tuned. The troll being always right, the troll will have a definitive reply.

I decided to waste Blueprint's review hunting pleasure!
Here is my last short review to WIA at wargamers.com:
http://www.armchairgeneral.com/birth-of ... mment-7564

I posted it as comment to the official review hosted by the site.
I tracked the story of the product from its release to last patch; I reported some personal regrets as regard missing features from AACW and NCP that I'd have liked to see at work with WIA too; evalutation of AI, game challenge is positive, as is to be after last patch publication. Graphically the game is to be judged for that it is... WIA cannot compete with Warhammer Mark of Chaos, with Total War series and so on..... but it was not marketed to compete with such games.
I love and play chess; I keep away from playing hazard, but admire poker: so the comparison is a way to apreciate WIA!

NOTICE: I did not pointed out that I consider an AGEod mistake: producer prices to high in comparison to retail sellers' one.
I have already my copy of the game; do not mind to buy any other for me.. so my uninterested suggestion is Ageod should reconsider WIA price,: we are 7 months from game release, now!

Like failure to comprehend the differences in Command and Control in the 18th Century North American conflicts vs. the 'serious wars' in Europe?
I'm very weary of trying to explain the historical basis to those who won't listen.[:(]

Please zip and send saved game with at least two previous turns to support@ageod.com

Incluse a brief reference to your post in your email

You know I know the routine lodilefty!
Have to point out, last two times I sent saved turns to support@ageod.com I did not get any reply.......
It was a time when AGEod was very apreciated, at least for courtesy!
..... I'll give it a last chance!

You should make it clear that at least one email you sent was 'ignored' because it contained follow-up data for a forum conversation....[:-]

Wait!
I agree with you over differences.
In NCP and AACW we have Armies, corps, divisions, brigades.
In WIA we could have, Armies, columns, "divisions", march detachments.
Yes the terms are different, but we could have a common command chain system adding depth to game.
IT SHOULD BE WITH GAME ADVANTAGE!

Leaders promotion: you cannot say leaders where not promoted at WIA times.

Marching to sound of guns: A nice feature to add some planning and grand-tactical depth to a game mainly focused over logistic problems..... an aspect few gamers apreciate.
Notice, I apreciate logistic management but it's not a good reason to miss some fine grandtactical and manouvering issue.

Do not understand!
All my notifications from last week to AGEod got a kind and quikly reply.
BTW, I did not mentioned here last notification I sent because mainly related to game improvements than bug reporting!
No problems with AGEod support in last week from me![:)]

Guess it should be not hard to understand!

March to sound of the Guns? Over 100+ miles? Before the invention of the telegraph?[8|]
Not likely. but hilarious...
...and within a region, it occurs when multiple stacks engage in support of each other. This activity can be adjusted by the Menu Option "Delayed Commitment"

"Amateurs study Strategy and Tactics, Professionals study Logistics."

C&C? Why add complexity that is not needed?

Nothing was missed or overlooked. These were concious design decisions.

..of course, you could always start a company, design and sell your ideas, and feel the pain when someone dislikes your choices....

It's fascinating how good you are to shoot yourself, The BlackLegion...opps sorry JastaV

"Amateurs study Strategy and Tactics, Professionals study Logistics."

A good point!
But there are few professionals and may amateurs out here!
Give amateurs that they like: WIA will sell more!
Non a critic, a suggestion!

Question: what your experienced beta-developer suggestion to get max. realism from "Delayed Commitment" setting?
Can I change it with no risk during an alredy started campaign?
Thanks in advance for replying.

C&C? Why add complexity that is not needed?
Making it optional, If possible, will take you to grab more customers: the one looking for complexity and the one searching for an easy game! Isn't it?

Why not try and see?
Exploring the game is the fun part. I prefer to not engage in 'what setting' debates...

Define 'no risk'.
Will the results change? Yes.
Will the game crash? No.
Will you be able to tell the difference? Try it and see....


So, when is the IPO for your company so you can apply your design and marketing expertise ?

Define 'no risk': to be sure I'll not waste currently played scenario, having to start it again!
It seems like you have already clarified the point!

Notice, last time I experienced with "Delayed Commitment" setting it was over NCP: and nothing was changing!
I know WiA is not NCP!

What IPO is?
I'm not familiar with Acronimous.......
