Re: Micromanaging armies and commanders

Thanks johan. Sorry if my earlier post made it sound like there was a bug. The docs for the demo are pretty sparse so it looked like a problem since I have yet to see my flankers go after the rear...

Re: Micromanaging armies and commanders

Thanks Zen. I did have my flankers about as far out as they could go althoug not toward the back as your pic implies (if I follow you). If they do end up attacking the "rear" of the closest group...

Re: Micromanaging armies and commanders

I've tried several times in the demo to get my cavalry to flank my opponent and attack his rear units. Inevitably they turn too early and attack the closest units instead. Anyone know if this works...

Re: Micromanaging armies and commanders

Thanks Zen Didn't know about the morale averaging but I'll certainly watch that from now on.

Is the blue line that appears under a unit morale loss and red is hits taken?

I did use a couple of...

Re: Micromanaging armies and commanders

Thanks Treebeard. You don't see any morale indicator then?

I know some of the answers are in the manual and mine is on the way so feel free to reply with RTFM. ...

Micromanaging armies and commanders

Playing around with the demo while waiting on the post office to deliver. Not sure how much micromanaging of my armies and commanders is necessary or desirable?

First, commanders. Without...

Re: Where do I find all the items, places, etc. on the game?

There is at least one free Excel file reader somewhere on the Internet. A Google search should find it for you.

Re: Suggestion: How to beef up light inf

Please allow me to add my 2 cents even though my copy of D2 has shipped but not yet arrived. LI should be unencumbered. By that I mean light weapons only and no armor. There would be two...

Re: Are huge maps harder?

Thanks Gandalf. From this thread it sounds like the AI plays best on huge maps where it has time to build up. I'm not a fan of rushing anyway, even in MP, so hopefully there are a couple of huge...

Re: Are huge maps harder?

Waiting impatiently for my copy of D2 to arrive in the mail. Can someone tell me how many maps come with the game? I don't see it listed on the Features page. Thanks.

Re: D2 vs Aow:SM

Re: D2 vs Aow:SM

After all the positive feedback and a run through the demo I ordered D2. Now all I have to do is convince my wife it's not going under the Christmas tree!

PS - Now when is that patch coming out? ...

Re: D2 vs Aow:SM

Lost my Last game of SM after misplacing an army by one hex. Ended up attacking with only half my force and lost both halves eventually. One thing I did not like about the game was the difficulty...

Re: D2 vs Aow:SM

Thanks for the feedback folks. I have the demo and will give it a whirl as it sounds like most of you prefer D2 to AoW:SM.

PS - How are the manuals in the commercial Version?

Re: D2 vs Aow:SM

Thanks to Gandalf and cpbeller. I'm mostly interested in D2 for MP with a long time gaming buddy. Sounds like combat is quite different in D2. I don't think we ever fought a battle in Aow:SM with...

Re: D2 vs Aow:SM

So there are two differences mentioned so far:

No diplomacy with the AI in D2.
No control of tactical combat in D2.

One similarity:

Weak AI.

Anyone else have something for comparison to...

Can anyone who has played both comment on the main differences between the two game systems? I intend to d/l the D2 demo but I'm interested in what people who have played the full D2 think about it...

7. Changed - Engine Damaging Weapons no longer skip shields.

Too bad. That puts "engine only" weapons back in the "useless" Category IMO.

Lets hope so. The current fix is worse than the possible exploit...

Re: new patch ?

2. Fixed - Newly launched fighters in a turn-based game will have no movement. The next turn after they are launched, they will receive full movement.

This makes no sense to me either. A newly...
