The latest patch removes the ability to save and load armies. I am sure for good reason. Is there an explanation somewhere?

How do I check that I have installed the patches correctly? My game still shows as Version 8 on the main screen

Will do. Away for a week, but after that.

never tried hardcore yet but if you want the minimap why not just play regular arcade? Chromey, why not try it and see? I really like the hardcore mode, because you don't get to instantly see what unit's morale is, it gets rid of extraneous flags and so on. There is still the 'problem' that you do ...

Look forward to the release.

I am keen to have a go at Salamanca, having recently visited the battlefield.

1. I thought it did not have 21 units in it, but it is possible I have made a mistake. I will delete the list and start again 2. I think it is realistic to have some idea where enemy units are, if some of your troops can see them. For example, if cavalry appear in the rear, I normally look at the ma...

1. I can buy an Austrian army with 10,000 points, and save it (20 units) but then when I go to load it, it says that too many points have been used. Curious. 2. Hardcore battles: really like the idea. Not sure I understand why the minimap no longer works though? That seems a step too far that makes ...

I believe that SP is awaiting an 8.1 patch to include the newest build of SP

nico.venuti, See the fifth post above.

Excellent, thanks

MightyOwl27, thanks for that solution. Removed and then new standard army saves reinstalled. Works fine.

In 'practice' mode in multiplayer, it seems that trying to load a saved army crashes the game (before you even pick which army you are trying to load)

Napoleon costs over a thousand points, for him as commander with a small cavalry escort. What does he do that is worth so much? (morale of local troops?)

Well done to all contributors. Look forward to giving it a workout.

I continued with Britain until about 1808 but then it kept crashing.

The real problem with the SPC is the AI in battles, but I appreciate that very little can be done about that. I also saw 1 example of blobbing, but it isn't a big concern, as they tend to sort themselves out when you discover them.

Maybe you will :P So far, the problems are mainly old ones: - Lost all my artillery trying to cross a bridge. Something about moving on bridges that wipes artillery out completely - A few crashes during battles. That isn't new - I got a request to take Hannover, to help my allies against French aggr...

I am playing through a campaign as Britain. Will post more feedback in time.

Davn, that all looks pretty interesting. What is the relationship between v8.0 SPC and the mainline game? Will they be using the same factors / engine, or is everything separate now?

Sounds like fun times. I agree it would be good to have a clear indication of the figure and ground scale.

Still happening today?

Sounds good. Cannot wait to try it.

@Moopere: thank you for your nice feedback. The horse artillery bug in version 7.2 has been fixed already in the next version, and your suggestion is one of two issues (the other one is that 7 men per gun was not enough for horse art). I will now give a look at your FX file. Thanks for this. I just...

How do I try this out Cosak? Is there some way for me to run the game without the Steam overlay?

That is extremely good news Davn, thankyou. By way of providing feedback, this is my experience with 7.2. After having some installation problems, now fixed, the game still seems unstable. I have played 3 campaigns for a few years in (Britain, Russia, Ottoman) but eventually the campaign will not co...

I am afraid I am also unable to get an install working properly. Perhaps when I have more time I will try and start the whole installation process of NTW again.
