Kelly,

Not to be my usual jackass self, but you do know you can return to the game/battle by clicking the "return to battle" button at the bottom of the Victory/Defeat page, right?

Yeah I knew that and that's pretty much how I am playing them out. I just wanted some scoring included so I can see how well I'm improving or not. I guess I can just set a time limit and write down my scores.

It just doesn't feel like or play like 2nd Manassas and that's what I am used to. The majority of the time it was ME who determined the outcome of the battle not just generic numbers that are quickly overcome by the ai vs itself.

No problem though. I don't understand all this CVS SBS or BS and I don't buy games to get into being a PROGRAMMER. I just want to play them. That's what I pay you guys the BIG BUCKS for to make the game playable like I enjoy. I just want a monster army vs army game that really never ends until dark, but, still has an overall score of how well I did at each command level.

Sounds like a mod is in order. Unless someone beats me to it (it won't be too hard to do) I'll add it to my to-do list.

Here you go kellysheroes:

Just unzip to your Mods folder and enable. I haven't been able to test it yet, but it should work fine. The failgrades have been set to zero, which means a Sandbox game will never end early when a negative score is reached. Something we'll probably end up putting in the base game.

Eh...the battle ENDED when I reached -1703. Still trying to play that "Line of Sight" start with Anderson Division. I played this time with the courier commands and at least that worked, but, the game still ended abruptly before 930am.

Just tried a 2nd time and it ended at -1784 before 930am <sigh> I guess it's just not going to work for me.

Hmm, maybe I didn't do something right or maybe your game is just cursed.. :laugh:

I'll look into it.

Anderson's Division.. What OOB, what commander are you choosing, and what battle size?

You have to remove the mod's Base folder.
