Hey Totem Games,
Are you still working on a Spanish American War version also? Thanks.

[Maxim]

This thumbnail campaign map sketch. We plan to gradually improve the new TBS campaign system, and then start a new project. Maybe this will be the Spanish-American War.

[em2nought]

Thanks for the reply! :D

[avers]

hey guys, I'm comsidering getting Ironclads 2, but usually what I do is look up vids of it on youtube, but there are none, so anyone who has played it, what do you think of it?

[Maxim]

It's just a great idea. Unfortunately among our many talents :oops: do not have the ability to work with video. I'm sorry. We will be happy to accept any help.

[Rockin Robbins]

I just got the game and am climbing the learning curve. First thoughts: this is TWO games, the turn based strategic one (you can't win if you don't win this one) and the real time tactical battle. I quickly found that I was intuitively good at the tactical battle but am still getting a handle on the strategic.

My initial strategy will be to fight tactical battles automatically and concentrate on the strategic aspect. Warning! Tactical battles can be very long and they are nail-biters to be sure! Beautiful ship modeling and the water is plenty adequate. I love the smoke and fire. It is a little hard to click on individual guns because the ship is moving with the waves and its own power. When your mouse leaves the gun the dialog box goes away.

I'll be doing some screenshots and video of what the game looks like and explaining a little bit (as much as I presently understand, subject to correction and refinement) about how things work.

I'm especially interested in the strategic aspect as I'm a veteran of the sacred Avalon Hill games Stalingrad, Africa Corps, Gettysburg and Jutland. Was always frustrated at the limitations of board games and the strategic and tactical games here are what board games always dreamed they could be.

Anybody expecting this to be Borderlands 2 with non-stop action and fragging is going to be disappointed. The game is long and thoughtful. But if you're interested in simulations you aren't looking for Borderlands 2 anyway. Stay tuned!

[Onkel Neal]

Looking forward to seeing your video, RR :up:

[Rockin Robbins]

Well, now you've made me do it! Moving 90.71 GB of FRAPS video to a dedicated hard drive. This could take a couple of hours......

Play the Jeopardy think music (https://youtu.be/HuABhumm6fY)!

[Rockin Robbins]

Computer is down for some reason. I'm at work trying to access it by remote control to do the copy function and it's MIA. Did some preliminary video last night and this is going to be divided into separate sections or nobody will watch it.

So I'll do an installation video, a strategic video and a tactical video. I want to keep each video under 15 minutes and hopefully around 10. The tactical video will probably be the longest.

As an aside, the Union side starts with not one ironclad and they take 20 months to produce. That means that at best, you get to use ironclads for four turns during a game. Everything else is wood steamers. Unless you can hijack some of the Confederate income stream you can't afford to begin building an ironclad for several turns. That means that my strategy will be somehow to take the high seas positions early and hope the Confederates' superior firepower doesn't sink too many of them. It's going to take more experience before I figure out where the Union advantage is supposed to be. At this point I don't see it.

[Maxim]

The Union sufficient advantages. And you've found the right one of them. The Union advantage cruisers. Therefore, it may try to destroy the trade of the South.
In addition, the US has more ships and more money. And as you know for war only need three things. Money, money and money! When intercepting merchantman (blockade runner) you will receive a cash prize.

The game has 48 turns (months). Two-towered US 1300t monitor built 16 months. Ironclads are actively used in the second half of the game.

Very nice! I know what I'll be building with my ill-got money!:D:D (this ship financed by Confederate booty. Thank you Jeff Davis!)

[Rockin Robbins]

Tweaking the Ironclads II Installation Tutorial video right now. I'll upload it as a private video on You Tube until Maxim okays it then go public. Stand by please!

[Rockin Robbins]

And the waiting is over. Announcing the publication of the first of 3 videos on Ironclads 2 American Civil War

Game Installation Tutorial (https://youtu.be/_sHXMXxM7PA)

Hope you enjoy it and that the video makes a few people more successful at installing Ironclads II than would have been without it.

The point I want to emphasize about installation is that you should save the manual PDF file on your computer and print it out. Just like an Avalon Hill board game, you will be referencing it a lot.

Ironclads II game review by Molon Labe here at Subsim. (http://www.subsim.com/2015/review_ironclads2.php)

Straight up, the combat is fun. There are several different ship classes, each with different characteristics, and different optimal tactics. Although the AI does a rather good job playing to their own strengths, once you learn a ship well enough, you can exploit the enemy's weaknesses. It's very satisfying to use a little gunboat to sink a larger ship because it can't shake you off its tail, or maneuver a column of powerful sloops to �"cross the T�" against a smaller opponent, pounding it with multiple hits in just a few seconds.

[Maxim]

(A quick note on harbor defenses--my gameplay suffered a glitch that caused ships' damage to reset to 0% at the beginning of battles occurring in harbor stations, which defeats the purpose of the shore batteries.)

Described bug was found and fixed. Update for customers posted on our website.

We have added slots for infantry and siege artillery. The work is not finished yet. When everything is ready, we will release a free update.

[Rockin Robbins]

I am impressed! I'm looking for a good battle to make a video from for showing off the great graphics in your tactical portion of Ironclads 2. I've got to find a way to show a lot in under 10 minutes so people will watch the whole thing! That's a challenge for sure.

I must remember I'm making a video not playing the game. Playing a real battle can take 3 hours! I'm trying to show off the game and give some understanding of how it's played. Stand by for carnage!

[Rockin Robbins]

By the way, Maxim, how do we download the game updates? Do we just redownload the whole game? Thanx!

[Maxim]

Link to download the new version of the game is available at our website. Yes, you need to download and install the new version as a new game. To activate using the same personal license key.

Video #2 ready to go. This is the

Ironclads II Tactical Gameplay Video (https://youtu.be/kI1PukaW1IM)

This gives you a good look at how the real-time tactical part of Ironclads II works. Each of these individual battles could take up to three hours on your computer. I was surprised how long it took to reload and fire the guns on these boats. A study of the manual will reap great rewards, allowing you to pick your target for each ship, hold your fire while you're at low percentage hit range, sidle up to the bad guy and then fire all guns in one broadside, and more that is well worth learning about.

[Maxim]

The photo shows the size of naval gun and how many people need to get this gun fired. One shell or cannon ball weighing 32 to 550 pounds. So guns were reload for so long.

[strykerpsg]

I have finally gotten more into the game, thanks to Rockin Robbin's second video and finally reading the manual.

The question I have is the amount of time allocated to the Confederate States to build their Ironclad warships seems to be about half the time the Union navy has to build theirs. Also, if I'm positioned with a division outside the port of New Orleans, shouldn't that blockade be limiting the funding to the point the Confederacy is unable to build not one, but two Ironclads? It just seems the campaign favors the South, both monetarily and building speed of their warships all the while in your campaign description (and historical accuracy), the Union actually had both the fiscal and industrial base in their favor.

Thoughts?

US 2100t monitor: 20 months, $700 000, New York.
US 1300t monitor: 16 months, $360 000, New York.

CS 1100t ironclad: 18 months, $325 000, Havana (European-built ironclad).
CS 1600t ironclad: 16 months, $350 000, New Orleans and Mobile.


Cost and construction time is calculated as the average of all the ships of the same type or class. We collected information on the cost and time of construction of various historical
sources. Union monitors were minimal differences of these values. Confederate ironclads were very different as the built in very different conditions. It should be noted that we use the
time required to complete readiness of the ship and crew, and not just the ship (commissioned and not launched).

All ships and structures are paid once at the beginning of construction. This means that you must first save the full cost of construction and only then you can order it. In reality, the
Congress of the Union and the Confederacy initially allocated the full amount of money for shipbuilding and only then start building. So when your blockaders intercept blockade
runner, you are depriving the enemy of money for new ships but you cann't stop to finish already started.

All objects are built and operate in exactly the description of the game and a manual. Initial balance of power has changed in favor of the Confederation of exactly two corvettes.
These ships could in fact strengthen the South, but it never happened. All other resources in the game are calculated on the basis of forces on both sides of the capture of New
Orleans until the capture of Mobile. New Orleans is the second largest city in the United States in 1860. New Orleans is a rich city, which was a military industry and shipbuilding.
We used the data actually involved in the Gulf of Mexico forces (including New Orleans) . Financial and industrial power of the Union was much greater than the capacity of the
Confederation, but the main forces were concentrated near Charleston.

In 1862 the Confederate agent Louis Merton approached the Austrian government for a passible naval arms deal. Relations between the Austrian Empire and the North were poor during the war, partly due to the building of two ironclad, in New York City for the Austrian rival, Italy. Over the next few months into 1863 negotiations took place between Merton and Archduke Ferdinand Max, head of the Austrian navy and future Emperor of Mexico. Merton in 1862 was interested in wooden warships, but by 1863 primarily ironclads.

Max tried to interest the Confederacy in one older 31-gun steam frigate, two 22-gun steam corvettes, and 23 smaller warships, many of them gunboats. Max wanted to keep his small ironclad fleet Austrian in case of war with the growing Italian ironclad fleet. Max also hoped to sell the older warships so he could use the money to buy more ironclads.
The asking prices were too high and the drafts of the larger vessels too deep to be of value in the Confederate naval service. Max, for his part, would not allow the building of ironclads for the Confederacy at any of the busy private or government owned Austrian shipyards.

[Maxim]

Negotiations with the French government produced a conditional agreement to provide four modern wood and iron composite steam clipper corvettes for long-distance cruising. These screw corvettes would have been the equal of any U.S. Navy cruisers.

http://fotos.miarroba.es/fo/68dc/294F032428234EB8F6191F4EB8F510.jpg

In June 1863 John Slidell, the Confederate commissioner to France, asked Emperor Napoleon III in a private audience if it would be possible for the Confederate government to build ironclad warships in France. Arming ships of war for a recognized belligerent like the Confederate States would have been illegal under French law, but Slidell and Confederate agent James D. Bulloch were confident that the French emperor would be able to circumvent his own laws more easily than could the British government. Napoleon III agreed to the building of ironclads in France on the condition that their destination remain a secret. The following month Bulloch entered a contract with Lucien Arman, an important French shipbuilder and a personal confidant of Napoleon III, to build a pair of ironclad rams capable of breaking the Union blockade. To avoid suspicion, the ships' guns were manufactured separately in England and they were named Cheops and Sphynx to encourage rumors that they were intended for the Egyptian navy. Maury specified that the ship was to have sufficient seaworthiness to cross the Atlantic, a high spread of canvas, less than fifteen feet draft, and a speed of fifteen or sixteen knots. These shallow-draft ironclad wooden ships were designed with a brig sailing rig and twin-screw steam auxiliary propulsion. With the screw corvettes they could present a dangerous challenge to the Union navy on the high seas, potentially capable of overwhelming smaller squadrons on individual blockading stations.

[Maxim]

Perhaps the most ambitious attempt to purchase finished ships involved the eight vessels (two iron and four wooden fighting ships with average 600t displacement, 11kts speed ) of the Anglo-Chinese fleet built in Great Britain for China. These warships, called the Lay-Osborne flotilla for the leaders of the enterprise, were not accepted by the emperor of China after arriving in Chinese waters.

[strykerpsg]

Typical Russian,

Thanks for the detailed reply. I was a bit frustrated that the Confederacy starts with 2 Iron Clads already being built and able to launch within 7 turns, while the Union must wait a few turns to make enough funds to start their Iron Clads, which then take 18 turns to launch. It just seems a bit lopsided, since the North and South launched their respective Iron Clads within a month of each other, while in game, the difference is more than 18 months difference in time.....

Unless I am doing something totally wrong, I cannot build an Iron clad till at least 3 turns, and the lengthy build starts from there. Am I mistaken?

I am by no means pouncing on the game mechanics, just the historical accuracy seems a bit skewed.

[Maxim]

Confederate casemate ironclads CSS Louisiana and CSS Mississippi were almost ready. In reality, the ships fought in the Battle of Forts Jackson and St. Philip as immobile floating batteries. The Confederates were evaluated fully prepared both ships is in such a period in our game.

http://www.cottage-industries.com/storeimages/parentmodel_la.JPG

So historical accuracy isn't distorted. All intrigue of opposition was concentrated on these two ironclads. The first round of game doesn't coincide with the first month of war. We chose such moment when the South still had a chance of successful resistance. Then there was an accident in New Orleans and at Confederation didn't remain chances of fight in for the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

There are at least two strategy for a victory. I won't describe them. Our testers found them by trial and error. I understand that it is difficult to play for the Union but it is possible to win.

LOL! Thanks, I understand better now. The Union start is a challenge and has been repeated more than a few times......

I'm looking forward to beating this and to then delve into the real time naval battles. I wanted to crawl first at the strategic level, then give it a whirl at the tactical level, reviewing Rockin Robbins video again.

Good game. My only complaint is the viewing system is a bit wonky and I wind up using my arrows keys more than my mouse.

I'll try to give a hand though some of these are hard as I don't know the context (how they are being used in the game), and I have not played this game. Italics are the original version, regular bold text is my suggestions, anything in () is my comments or questions.

Can't move units without warships in enemies harbor.
(I don't understand this one either, do you mean you need to have your own warships in the enemy harbor before you can move non-warships into the harbor? or do you mean there need to be warships in the group of ships you are moving into the harbor)

Sorry for the delay. First here are a few corrections, I forgot to remove the capitals from blockade and siege.
Blockade doesn't allow to move the unit to this place.
A blockade is preventing you from moving the unit to this location.

Siege doesn't allow to move the unit to this place.
A siege is preventing you from moving the unit to this location.


And here is the rest.

Only amphibian units can land to harbor directly.
You require amphibian units to land troops at this harbor.
(I'm not sure if this is the best wording. Are amphibian units troops or ships?, also are they just landing at the harbor or assaulting it where enemy troops are defending?)

Can't move units without warships in enemies harbor.
You must move a warship inside the enemy harbor before you can move other units into the harbor.

The ships can be moved only between specialized slots and can't move here.
You cannot move ships into infantry slots.
(to use this, you would need an opposite message for moving infantry in slots, the reverse would be "You cannot move infantry into ship slots." You could also use the more generic "This unit cannot be moved into that type of slot.")

The ships can be moved only between the slots of your state and can't move here.
(is this happening during unit selection, or when creating a scenario, or somewhere else in the game? Anyhow here is a rough version)
You can only move your ships to slots that belong to your country

(Navy) Damages less than XX percents doesn't need to be repaired. Damage less than XX percent does not need to be repaired.
(Infantry) Don't need to reinforce infantry regiment.
This infantry regiment does not need reinforcement. (It would be a good idea to say why this regiment doesn't need reinforcement)
(ships and infantry can be repaired and replenished only if they have lost more than 90% hit points) (does that mean then that you can't repair a ship until it is almost destroyed? Or do you mean it has be damaged a little bit?)

Drag the plan for the infantry regiment to a free barrack slot in the same harbor.

(Navy) Harbor under attack! No possible to laid down a warship.
You cannot start construction of a warship as the harbor is under attack (I chose construction as 'laying the keel' would be more confusing to players)
(Infantry) Harbor under siege! No possible to laid down a warship.
(do you mean infantry recruiting for this? If not just replace 'attack' with 'siege' for my last answer)
You cannot start recruitment for a new infantry regiment as the harbor is under siege.

What I don't understand though, is the complete sentence. Who is the siege side? the side that is defending or attacking? I also assume enable means being able to construct defensive works. Anyhow here are two possibilities.


Defensive works enable only for siege side.

Only the attacker can construct defensive works in a siege. (only the side attacking can build defenses)
Only the defender can construct defensive works in a siege. (only the side defending can build defenses)

I already own Ironclads HS. I'm thinking of buying this new one. My question is does the game have a skirmish mode where you can set up custom naval battles? And also in the new update you mention harbor sieges, shore batteries, infantry, etc. Are harbor sieges/port battles etc. included in the tactical portion of the game?

Technically this is not a problem, but by the reviews of players a new game does not need it. All innovations as infantry and heavy artillery, amphibious assaults and harbour sieges only on the turned-based global map.
