Ok gentlem,i have another question for the more expert and fine players of this awesome game.
i see that the comunity created many maps and scenarios for HistWar.
i would like to know how do you play most of these scenario solo? because i noticed that the AI is not so agressive.
do you play like Player Vs Player and give orders to one army and then switch to the other? or how do you suggest to play as a solo gamer?
difficult to do, considering the AI has somewhat been made less aggressive as you pointed out.
second point , there are no objectives/flags to conquer.
(best to be played human vs human)
Solo games
30 km maps so as to have some room to maneuver (most are keen to play on 15 km maps 250,000 man each side)
I can't say 30 km is best though because essentially the only real strategy is to destroy the opposite army in this version
of Histwar. (and most likely this will never change)
It would be good to have an objectives style dimension to the game other then the LOC
I am not sure if it would add more depth to the solo game playing/capture the flag maybe on the victory point system
could it get too one-sided for a player who decides that the flags are more important than the destruction of the opponent's army.
In this version of Histwar there is no order to retreat off the map to save the army from destruction
as you know max 30 km square for a campaign map, no grand strategy map with flag objectives to win/defend against.
any road is just a road so no morale coefficient against a player with an exposed /threatened flank and no flashing message
to either player that you now are enjoying an advantage against the opposing army and he'd better redraw his defense line
or his morale would just keep dropping as to create a complete rout off the map, for that unit/division/corps.
try this:
Sellerhousen Paunsdorf scenario division/corps size engagement (available in the depot)
Order all allied lines advance to attack (red) 1 km from the french LOC with divisions support and flank attacks
Play French on defense (allies get 25% to 50% more manpower but try to limit the artillery to 100 x side : knock off the oob excess allied artillery)
I do not issue any more orders to the allies. I do my best to defend against the allied attack.
play 1 minute real time (you can always save and finish another day) .
Best Regards
