Checked something strange with the oob data of this battery commander, it is marked as infantry officer as class in the scenario.csv, so for the code the divisions has not battery commanders to check. I checked the standard sandbox oob and here they're correct, do you remember what oob did you use for this scenario?

I see, I edited the OOB_SB_Waterloo_Battle_AM add sprites.csv changing all artillery commanders with infantry commanders so there is no gun capture. So it looks like I can't use the no gun capture trick, that's a shame. Thanks for your help.

In case you are interested the KS Mod doesn't have gun capture. Guns rout when enemy get very close. It means you have to either support your guns closely or have them back behind the front lines.

The only way to remove gun capture is by modding the AI dll. It is not a perfect solution, but it does mostly work.

I am pretty sure you can write a review in Steam as long as you have a Steam account. You don't have to have bought the product under review through Steam - unless they've changed things since last time I wrote a review... which was probably over 3 years ago.

Is this easy to do? If it's easy can you tell me how. :woohoo: But bear in mind my modding skills are properly between 1-2 out of 10. :(

Roy64, have you tried playing the KS Mod? It sounds like much of what you want the game to be has been done already.

The main drawback of the KS Mod is that it doesn't work so well with the stock scenarios as its changes could unbalance some of them, then again that can be said to be true of any mod. The mod was written primarily for MP and SP sandbox or other user-created scenarios which is where we think the replayability of the game lies.

thanks for the answer saddletank, but it seems that
steam doesn't recognize the game as owned by me.
in other games that i owe, a green toolbar appears and gives
me the right to write a review. but not SOW.
