Sarevok, I'm not far behind Rocoteh either with regard to my knowledge of History, Strategy and Military Warfare. Though, I must admit, Lynx is definitely up there too. So, I will respect what he says. And, as I said, I used an extreme case to point out that Marla/Gogf aren't necessarily as...

Well, I happen to have an older computer here, which originally had 16 MB RAM, 2 MB Video, and a 333 MHz processor. Now, that computer has 272 MB RAM, and 128 MB Video. :) And that's what I'm typing to you guys with. And, it should run Conquests (though a bit slowly I would imagine).

10,000 was an extreme number, used as a point. More typically, it was probably closer to half that number on such a large front. I do remember reading somewhere though that in one battle, there were 10,000 guns used by the Germans. I'm not trying to disprove anyone's figures, just trying to...

I guess you have to look at it, Sarevok, on the scale of the Civ3 map. The "definition" of assault is certainly open to debate, but even on a very large map of Europe (which this is not), you're still looking at 20 to 30 miles of frontage per "square". The Battle of Verdun if I remember...

Rifleman would be another good example, its a 4/6 unit. If you were able to use 2 at once vs. 1 rifleman, it'd be 8 vs. 6 with no defense modifiers. You'd have good odds of winning in such a situation. Unfortunately, Civ3 doesn't let you do this, so its 4 vs. 6 every time (higher when...

I can't believe the debate going on in this thread, and all of the inaccuracies being thrown around all over the place. First, I want to start with Gogf's comment on the American Civil War. In order for an attacker to "win" in the American Civil War, he usually needed superiority of at...

Well unfortunately with the way my computer is acting right now, I haven't been able to keep Conquests running for any length of time without it freezing up. The editor though seems to work fine. Its not C3C that's messing up, as my computer has been randomly freezing up alot recently.

Personal problems at home are going to be slowing down (by quite a bit) the pace at which I will be working on ACW2. That is why there hasn't been much work done the past week as well. Just want to give everyone a heads up. I don't know when these problems will be resolved. On top of...

Elmira, NY should be left in anyways. By 1870 its population was about 15,000.

Platsburg is in the northern part of New York, near Burlington (Vermont). Quote: Its also not historically accurate that foreign troops could reequip themselves deep in the heart of enemy territory. It depends on how you consider an army reequipped, and at what stage in the process the...

Monitors aren't meant to be offensive ships. That's why their attack value is very low. Though it maybe could use a slight improvement. The attack value on ships essentially is their ability to attack in close quarters (boarding, close-range gunnery, or ramming). A typical Monitor had a...

Sweden, Norway, and Denmark should be neutral. None of these had much influence on the war, and none were actively contributing to either side militarily. You might want to experiment with leaving them at war with neither side, see if they will stay neutral. Albania is a wild-card, as it...

I did some research on Ann Arbor (using the library's website, a NICE website). In 1860 their population was about 4,500 or so, and increased to almost 6,000 by 1864. Which would make it one of the largest cities in Michigan for the time period. Lansing was under 4,000 (didn't find an exact...

I'm not aware of Ann Arbor having a significant population in the 1860-1865 period (its certainly under 9,500). Michigan I know gave up as a whole a large percentage of its population (relative to the rest of the country). I'll have to do some research on its population in 1860 to see if...
