Le Quartier Général

Ageod’s Wars of Succession is a new game designed to cover two major wars that consumed Europe at the eve of the 18th Century. One was the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1713), pitting the French & Spanish Bourbons monarchs against the Grand Alliance built by Austrian Habsburg, Britain and the United Provinces. The other is the Great Northern War (1700-1721), between Sweden and Russia (and her allies), most of which focused around the succession of Poland. The two wars can be played in separate scenarios. Or there can be a huge 4-players scenario allowing both wars to be played simultaneously.

Setting: the game covers all of Europe, from the Western seaboard to the Volga. The two different big wars focus each on one side of the continent (Spanish Succession over Western and southwest Europe, Great Northern War in Eastern and Northeastern Europe), and some sideshow operations all over the Mediterranean and in the Ottoman Empire. From 1700 to 1720.
Game map is divided into more than 5,000 regions, with a variety of terrain, climates and development level.
Scenarios: 7 in total, with 1 tutorial and 2 main scenarios of the whole wars (Spanish Succession, Great Northern War), plus 4 minor campaigns scenarios (2 for each war) with limited theaters (Italy, Spain, Baltics-Poland, Ukraine).
Historical leaders: More than 160 historical leaders each rated on their abilities and over 200 different types of units from Grenadiers and Musketeers to Winged Husssars and Cossacks, as well as a dozen type of different warships!
Production: Control your nations spending on the military, economics and diplomacy through a few simple-to-understand assets and production centers.
Regional Decision Cards: The game includes the already known card system that lets you trigger events such as Land Mines, Contributions, etc… this cards, if played wisely can affect the flow of a campaign.
Detailed game model includes features such as Weather, Attrition, Supply, Prisoners and Fog of War
Historical Events are triggered throughout the game giving the player crucial decision points. These cover anything from local uprising to foreign intervention in each of the conflicts.
Battlefield Tactics allow the player to make decisions that can turn the tide of battle.
Sieges and Naval warfare are all covered in detail in the game.
Chain of Command allows units to be organized in to groups and bigger stacks simulating armies.

Qui veut s'en faire une ?

Après a voir s'il vont enfin réussir à revenir à un jeu qui fonctionne bien comme RoP et éviter l'écueil des monstergames injouable de type Napoleon Campaign

C'est le même que Napoleon's Campaigns, non?

jmlo a écrit :A voir les captures d’écrans le nouveau moteur ressemble beaucoup à l'ancien

von Aasen a écrit :Un sujet idéal pour un AAR

Chataigne a écrit :Pour info, toujours sur Canardpc, Casimir vient de commencer un AAR sur la guerre de succession d'Espagne. Je ne peux pas vous mettre le lien car je suis son adversaire et du coup son AAR m'est interdit .

Finalement on m'a envoyé le lien

Chataigne a écrit :La partie était en pause pour cause de vacance, on reprend tranquillement. Après je sais que Casimir a un peu de mal à se dégager du temps pour mettre à jour son AAR.

Pour le moment on en est à la 3e année de guerre et c'est plutôt sympa. J'attendrai d'avoir fini une grande campagne pour me prononcer mais pour le moment c'est plutôt bien. En mème temps le moteur AGEOD est vraiment adapté à cette époque.

Du coup le jeu est plutôt classique mais efficace, pas de trucs trop ambitieux à la Pride of Nation ou le dernier Napoleon. Et le conflit offre une assez grande libertés stratégique. Pour l'instant on se bat surtout en Italie, en Flandre et en Allemagne mais il est clairement possible d'ouvrir un nouveau front en débarquant en France ou en Espagne pour la grande alliance, ou porter la guerre en Angleterre pour les Bourbons.

Niveaux ressources pour l'instant ça a l'air assez équilibré, je suis limité dans mes recrutement par l'argent ou les recrues. Les PE par contre ont l'air assez abondant mais pas mal de décision en demande 100 ou 200 facilement.

Le gros bemol pour moi c'est le manque de fluidité du jeu. Ça vient peut être de mon PC qui vieillit mais la navigation sur la carte n'est pas supère fluide. C'est pas toujours agréable surtout quand on gère de grosses armées de 50 unités que l'on veut réorganiser... Surtout qu'il n'y a pas de division. C'est le système d'organisation "simple".

En bref, pour l'instant je suis content de mon achat. Je retrouve le plaisir que j'ai pu avoir sur Rise of Prussia (qui reste pour moi un des meilleur AGEOD). je vous ferai un retour une fois la GC terminée.

Major
* Replacement bug: units maintenance cost (cut by half) and frequency (every 3 turns) have been reduced to ease the replacement situation
* Combat damages (in both hits and cohesion loss inflicted) has been increased, to reduce the number of ‘skirmish-like’ endless battles.
* Civilization level bug fixed

jagermeister a écrit :Normalement avec le tout nouveau moteur d'Ageod ces problèmes de fluidité devraient disparaître.


Je croise les doigts pour que ce soit vrai.

Boudi a écrit : Tu es sur qu'on peut parler de 'nouveau moteur Ageod' ? C'est pas plutôt le moteur Ageod qui disparaît corps et biens au profit d'un truc filé par Matrix ?

Boudi a écrit :Exact, c'est ça. Parler de nouveau moteur Ageod semble un abus de language.
