Ah, interesting turn of events.

Oh, I thought Slitherine Studios did Battle Academy. My apologies.

Thank you for the response.

I went ahead and purchased while I was waiting anyway.

I liked what this studio did with Battle Academy and this just looks that much more advanced.

In mutliplayer battles, do you just play a scenario from the campaign, or can each side kind of build their army with an equal number of points per side?

Yes, JTCS had extensive rules for supply and units that gained xp and such. It sounds very similar and I want to pull the trigger on it, but I compare all games of this nature to JTCS and most modern games never stack up.

How does this game compare to John Tiller's Campaign Series (East Front, East Front II, West Front)? I STILL play that game and it's almost 20 years old. I liked its dynamic campaigns, difficulty, unit carry-over and random map generation. Have any of you played it? How does this compare to it? Than...

Should be pretty easy to mod.

Heh, the Allies had these same complaints when they actually invaded. I think they're fine as they are.

Either that, or have the game poll both folders to see if it's in either location, but yeah, only having one folder is probably best and easier, just have to make sure you have a god way of getting everyone on board with the same folder somehow. Not everyone reads the patch notes

I'll check with Phil but I think you should always put mods & maps in the maps in the My Doc\My Games\BBCBA\Multiplayer folder. I dont think there is a good reason for ever adding files to the Program files folder. If you break something it might cause all sorts of nasty issues. That's where I ...

It could be that the other player put the map in the wrong place. Ask him where he has his map installed.

US TIPS: It's far better to push through the initial bridges with losses than it is to hesitate or try to turn back. If you turn back, you'll get delayed on the bridges and incur a far heavier price in lives the second push and might even get caught in a nasty artillery barrage. Just keep moving for...

Moved the whole Maps_by_Insidious folder to the correct (this time) folder but now I get a message telling me I need to download custom content. Is this because I initiated the challenge? Probably. You started the challenge with the map in the wrong place, so now it's looking there for it. We basic...

Downloaded them and unzipped them into the correct (I think) folder after deleting the previous files.... C:\Users\Paul\Documents\My Games\BBCBA\MULTIPLAYER Aha. Ok. They actually go in the directory you installed the game in, so something like C:/Slitherine/etc/etc/Multiplayer/ That should fix it.

Strange. There's no possible way they can't match - it's the only version. Ah, well.

Thanks for the response, maybe the other guy did something to the files by accident.

EDIT: Everything's fine.

My uneducated guess .... Cannot have reinforcements except for hotseat games? Deduction ... None of the other MP games have reinforcements. Also ... (perhaps unrelated) ... Why did you include a Functions.bsf file to your scenario folder? Sorry to be a bud-in-ski Hrm, I hope that is not the case. I...

Advice as to what went wrong? The map works in hotseat mode.

You've got a turn waiting

I've put up a few MP games waiting for a challenger. Please accept if you'd like, but only accept one challenge from me so that more people can test the map, as well.
