DAG Armies Missing?

Post by Blathergut »

Is it just this olde brain? It seems like there are armies missing from the DAG lists. I can't find Ptolemaic Successor. Or am I just missing it? Or is it all combined into one list somewhere?

That's in Multiplayer. I see the Ptolemaic Successor if I go to DAG from the main menu. But not in the multiplayer choices.

It's been a few years, for sure. Someone clarify/correct:

In the original version, there were no armies listed in the multiplayer section. You made and imported your own. Yes?

In the (U) version, I can't make and import my own, I have to choose from the list given?

Firstly,, lay of the bubble sauce, it looks like you are talking to yourself :lol:

Did you uninstall the original and all its folders? It could be that the Unity game is looking at the wrong saved armies in mydocs? The default install path for Unity is the same as the original FOG ( at least the main files, not sure about the saved games saved dag armies...)
I don't recall there being an issue in the beta. I havnt install my expansions yet so havnt veen tried MP or dag stuff yet.

I think I knw what you are seeing, maybe the premade "starter armies" of 400 BP's? Not all of the lists have starter armies...

Yes, 400 points. But can I also use an army not listed?

You should , but in FOG original, you had to create it first, and then you could launch a DAG battle and select it. ie you cant create the army on the fly.

Ah, I figured it. Yes, went into DAG and created a 600 point Ptolemaic Successor. It's now at the bottom of the list. Thanks for the help!!! Been a while!

It just messed around to fight a DAG battle vs the AI There appears to be many more options now but they are buggy and it not clear at all what can be and cannot be done. My last attempt reaulted ina game freeze.

Sadly, the AI deploy its forces even worse than before! ( all the leaders are now side by side in the center rear).

Gordie...that game hung when I tried to play it. Same prob as everyone else with multiplayer. Will just have to stick to the starter ones for now I guess. :(

I think it is because in the old DAG battle you can't fight against your own armies but pre-determined armies from the book against the AI so basically in the old one you got some decent army deployment but can't battle against your own armies whereas now you can battle but then the AI deployment is just so horrible.

I personally wish the AI is going to be improved in this new version since I don't want to play multiplayer.

Edit: NVM. AI deployment is potato in this one. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. I want to have a decent battle against armies I made myself.

Probably the easiest solution is allow one to deploy the AI army for it. It certainly was an asked for option. Building the DAG for the AI army is soo welcome though!

This is what I have been doing in the new version. Building armies and fighting against it but the AI is a potato when it comes to deploying. I am hoping to see those AI type and personality option menus soon. I find it rather concerning that despite not being able to 100% grasp the rules that I have been able to beat the AI just by using some common sense (not charging head on and flanking them and whatnot). I hope the AI will be better. Not human level but at least a challenge since I don't really mind just making DAGs all day and battling the AI. Heck I was messing around with a full battle wagon Hussite army and it never ended well. XD
