MAY LAY lol 😂
Apologies that I missed this. I visited my granddaughter for her birthday. The chance to cut rails is equal to the power of the unit(s). So those units only have a 47% chance to succeed. The chance to cross a blockaded river is only 8%. Good luck, gentlemen!
Does anyone know how to change the message settings? I am playing a game as the UK. It's mid war and I was having a blast but when I try and change the message settings I get a CTD when I try and save the changes. Almost every message related to combat is set to pop up and pause the game. There are so many air, land and naval battles going in that the game stops constantly to the point it is almost unplayable. It will pause with a dozen messages popping up at once. I go through and look at them and clear them out, then hit play and the game immediately pauses again with a screen full of messages. I'd really like to turn some of them off.

At 36min you discuss convoy raiding- isnt there a notification when a fleet discovers a heavily defended convoy (with escorts) and cant attack?
I just downloaded the game and I was wondering can I just play against the AI or solo play
no u cant sadly
Thanks!
A good videos series :-) just FYI some perks are bugged and have never been fixed as the game is no longer in dev. (quote) "Brigade Logistics (arty) perk and Commander Strategy" perk are bugged They effectively don't work. Anytime the game loads the bonus gets lost. The perks increase the starting ammo of the artillery unit or all units in the corps respectively(again up until load, so don't use these." google "Ultimate General Civil War ammo bug" and u will find discussions on the topic on steam and game labs forums. There are mods that have fixes/workarounds for some of these (the UI and AI Customizations Mod V1.9.2 is one such mod, u can find with google on forums )
How do I get troops it won't let me make any troops what im I doing wrong. I researched tanks so how would I make tanks? Im struggling making troops.
you need to built building that requires to make the troops
Same that's the thing I am struggling with
Build military bases
First option on construction
i have been trying to figure out while watching how Josh is able to have soo much war supplies as confeds? Playing as CSA is there any way to make a dent into the US conscript pool?
Brother you didnt mention level 3 radar did you?? Detects infantry. I usually start research day 10/11 and then level 2 so right at day 14 im ready to get it to level 3
Texas was coming on you
Sweet vids bro thanks. Now I will keep dreaming for a CW3 modern remake with the same concepts and designs just expanded on and added to with also being being able to add mods into it. One can hope!
For the algorithm
Hi there. I'm currently playing BICE 12.0.4 as Germany and having an issue with manpower. It's April 1940 and I only have 495 manpower. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. When I played BICE in the past I don't remember having such low manpower as Germany. Since 1936 I've had the extended conscription laws & such which provide manpower bonuses, I've done the agricultural mechanization which is supposed to boost manpower, I've researched all the techs which are supposed to boost manpower, but still I haven't even started any real war yet and my MP is nothing. What laws and such do you choose?
I'll get back to you on that one - I'm currently on Germany Nov 39.
@@AoEBros I think I realized it was because i chose 5 year plan for long term investment
its a great game for strategy but 4x speed gives me stress. i prefer normal speed. it lets you have a life😂 1-2 hours a day is good for me. learnt something about merceneries thanks. in late game when you have cash to burn mercs make sense.
I'm the same way with the normal speed and life!
The fact that the game itself just throws you in without the option for a tutorial on how the game works is beyond ridiculous.
small tips. say you have 3 infantry grouped for 45 hps total(15 hp each). When the group gets to 31 or so, split them into a group of 2 and 1 to divide the health between them, so you can save more units. Send the damaged units to healup at a hospital and in a couple days you'll have another army of damaged units all healed up and ready to fight again. If the group of 3 infantrys hp drops to 30, you'll lose the 3rd infantry. Trying to keep units alive is important due to the cost of units and production times. Try to attack with a 2-1 or 3-1 unit advantage and send an armor unit(recon,tank,etc.) with infantry to help soak up some damage. Attacking with ranged- air, navy or artillery is optimal to direct fighting. Keep an eye on the in match news. Find out who's fighting who, what type of units they have, how many units they've lost, etc. Free intel.
Thanks!
Looks bad for the boys in blue.
glad to see another in this series
some pretty bad audio breaks if you didn't know but keep up the great work man
Good to know. Thanks!
@@AoEBros will you rerecord your voice or not? Just good to know.
@@AoEBros Yeah, unfortunately it makes the video hard to comprehend. Thanks for the update nevertheless
@@InokHistorix Looks like the file got corrupted during rendering. I'll re-upload this along with the next video tomorrow or after.
Hey. Just returned to the game. How many planes should I build for Barbarossa?
A fuck ton lol. According to the forums, I've seen something like this: 134 Fighter/bombers 100 Light Bombers 8 Medium Bombers 16 CAS 30 Transport Planes Transports mainly for air supply. In my playthrough, I swapped out light bombers for medium, with the consideration being that medium have longer range (thus, more flexibility on the front). Granted, they're more expensive so I'll have less medium than I would have had light. But, I made more CAS to make up for less light bombers. Also, consider naval bombers/CAGs to deal w UK navy.
In the division production screen below the serial/parallel buttons there is a small picture of a landscape that says "terrain" to the left of it. Hover your mouse pointer over that picture and a pop-up window will appear showing the bonuses and maluses for the division composition currently selected. It's a great way to see which support units give that much desired fort attack. Great videos! Very informative.
Love this! I've put in literally hundreds and hundreds of hours and never knew this!
Cava-lry are horse soldiers. Cal-Vary is where jesus died. They are not synonyms or different ways of pronunciation. Lots of people make this mistake.
Great video. Don't let my comment diminish the quality of your info
He died in Cal-Vary? Who knew lol
Thanks that was super helpful! What about navies- have you experienced growing with them? How long does the average game take ?
I'd say real time games last well over a month to as long as 2 months on global map. Navies are tough because they take time to build and if you build the wrong setup, you're in a tough spot because of their expense and time to build. Corvettes are cheap and quick to push out early and move fast in shallow water. They also cost supply instead of the standard expensive costs for other ships. Destroyers are great for anti-ship, bombard, and anti-sub. Frigates for anti-aircraft. Cruiser for beefer destroyer. Aircraft carrier for air mobility. Subs for missile use. Just be mindful of what level naval port you need to build each type of ship. Here's a link to a solid tutorial on navy: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jHWE3JKReNPfopc.html
@@AoEBrosHow do you level up your buildings like arms industry?
Hi, I love war strategy games and would love to play this game. However, I am English and know absolutely nothing about the American Civil War and wouldn't know where to mover, North, South, East or West. Are there tutorials for this game, and do you think that I would be able to enjoy playing this game with the help of said tutorials?
Ask and you shall receive, my friend (also check out the forums in my descriptions for these videos) kzread.info/dash/bejne/haKoxJSeqrCff6g.html
well done, definitely the best game with this theme, in my opinion it's even better than hoi4
Agreed!
👏👏👏👏... great
Amazing!
Forgot to mention: combat also helps research practical. And I believe with recent BI versions, construction practical and research practical boost/compliment each other.
Great video, I’d like to see either Italy or Japan for a let’s play. Thanks for the tutorials, helping me a lot!
It's about 50/50 Germany and Japan at this point. Y'all just want to see me conquer the world rather than save it! =P
Found this video looking up black ice, channel name was familiar. I watched your Civil War 2 tutorials back in the day to learn how to play it. This video is cool too!
Thanks, bud! Glad they're helpful!
Have you played any of the Gary Grigsby wargames?
I own both War in the East games - I haven't played them nearly as much as HOI, but certainly it's a close comp to the HOI series. Lots of depth and complexity.
Thanks for the vids, always good to see BICE content. A couple of comments: 1) This is probably just me but its difficult to see a lot of detail as you are playing at a very high resolution. 2) Heavy Industry is i believe only buildable as USA (though i have not played as JAP) otherwise its by event triggered by the "Giant Infrastrucure Projects" tech or at least it is for GER. So one strategy is to max out all the Industry in provinces that already have eavy Industry in them.
Thank you sir helped alot I'm new but enjoying it
Glad to hear it!
Man its been a while since I crowd funded this...6th Georgia you say...
Yes ssiiirrrr. We're a small bunch, but active. A crew shows up Saturdays and Sundays at 8p EST for events. We're usually skirmishers and sharpshooters, only occasionally joining the main line. I took a long hiatus, but I'm now back at it. If you're interest, shoot me a note on discord @Glitch0697
Morale from battles I think is based a lot of units destroyed. As battles rage on less casualties can result in bigger morale swings because more units were destroyed because they had previously been weakened. I think having an army HQ destroyed gives a big morale penalty as well (not saying it happened to you, just noting it).
"For the Bonnie Blue Flag hurrah!"
How the heck are you, Jeff?! I'm going to be rolling out something new this summer, keeps tabs on the channel for a free subscription!
@@AoEBros iVE BEEN OK! Good to see you guys up and running. Will be looking forward to your future endeavors!
I vote for Germany
Of course y'all don't want me to save world, only conquer it =P
I'm playing this New version after some years, no crashes, even with auto save and manual save. And if you'r making a gameplay, obviously do it with Germany
That's fantastic to hear. The mod use to be really difficult to run longterm. If you have any tips or comments, please feel free to post them, and thank you for commenting!
Voted for japan once voting for it again
Of course y'all don't want me to save world, only conquer it =P
They're back! I keep thinking you've quit altogether and then after a year you pop back up again! :)
The storm is gathering!
interesting game
Something I forgot to mention: Your cabinet (under the political tab) are authorized X number of ministers from your ruling party. You do not suffer a penalty for NOT filling all of those slots (although, you should because it boosts your party's overall popularity, which in turn provides certain bonuses). HOWEVER, you will receive negative modifiers via the "fractured government" event if ANOTHER party is eligible for X number of ministry seats but does not hold at least that many. Again, not the end of the world: if you are receiving a boost to popularity, but at the expense of other negative modifiers caused by fractured government - this may be a short term problem if you can boost your popularity such, that this other party loses popularity and loses seats thereby reducing or eliminating any cause for having ministry seats in the first place. Also, higher your relation with a nation, the cheaper the trades (cheaper to buy, but also cheaper in what you sell - so it's certainly a two sided coin).
See the community tab and vote - if you want to see a Let's Play! And see the paradox forums (linked in the description) for the mod, help installing it, and troubleshooting tips.
Glad you both are back and making new content!
Yeah, I apologize for the delay. I was single parenting for the past almost year along with my full time career while also working on a side gig I plan to release to y'all by summer. I'm very excited about it and the subs of this channel will get to learn about it first, before anyone else!
Have you ever thought of trying a series on To zEnd All Wars or SGS Natos Nightmare?
Awesome video. You are the best when it comes to Grand Strategic Game like this. You are decisive and have a plan.oh my God!!!! Try watching a XTRG video. Hours to just get othrogh one turn.
Hey bud, thanks for watching! I have not watched a XTRG video - but I'll look it up and thank you for the suggestion!
