Why Arkhangelsk doesn't have a port?

[unmerged(5308)]

I started doing it with Excel but changed my mind when it said that the format wasn't right. I used Word. I'll try with Wordpad.

Oh yeah one more thing. How do I make Novgorod independant from the start. First I thought that it wasn't programed like that but after yesterday's game I found that I was wrong on that one.

Also, in the Byzantine Saga Scenario,made by Gen.Suvorov (excellent scenario btw), Novgorod is there from the start... Check it out

Even with a port in Arkangel Russia shouldn't be able to built a fleet. They didn't have it 'til they got access to the Baltic Sea.

When did they get to the Baltic actually? Ingermanland falls quite fast in most of my games... Especially when I am Russia

 

[BiB]

Russia tends to start with Ingermanland though.

 

[Vulture]

Not if you select T.O. or Swedish Ingermanland, which I most often do

 

[BiB]

I always set it to Russian. I find the Russian AI to inept to get a harbour in order to get their colonists.

 

[Vulture]

True... Russian AI does better if they start out with Ingermanland, and they seem to colonize more when they have it at start.

They've been quite good about grabbing a port in my recent games-they've just got even crapper, if that's possible, at breaking past the Khanates (although it doesn't help when the Crimea is the nation that annexes the Golden Horde, Astrakhan and Sibir-Russia only got about one Golden Horde province! )

I agree... I don't know if anything was altered in the Russian AI file... But in my last 7 games or so, they never succeeded in getting to the Siberian corridor. Their annexations stop after the Golden Horde mostly

hehe Russia never gest to the siberian corrdior in my games unless i play them it seems..of course that might have something to do with me playing Poland a lot and gettign golden horde in first year every time...or playing Sweden and keeping too much pressure on in the west, or TO and dioing the same...im debating trying Crimea next...never tried them

as for ingermanland i always give it to Russia...TO gets huirt not having it as it tends to be the magnate Russian and swedish troops go for first while they grab Pskov etc...but Russia gets hurt even more not having it...Sweden i dont see being justified in having it to start..it doesnt really help them much while not having it doesn thurt them at all..while it does hurt TO or Russia to not have it..russia the most

Russia does quite nicely in getting to Siberia just on time in my games. IF only they wouldn't lose Ingermanland that much in the process

It seems that Bib use IGC 1520.inc as he often said. Play it and see Russia in Siberia! Let Russia without Ingermainland in a 1492.inc and you will have to find Pie I for the AI.

 

[Vulture]

Never really play 1520.inc, since I need to edit to annex great powers... But anyway, I will play it ASAP, less warmongering then for me

 

[BiB]

Oh and a big editing job it is It's almost faster than scrolling thru the tag list in the igcconfig

 

[Vulture]

LOL... Ok it isn't that much of a job...

The reason for Arkangelsk not having a port in the GC, it had back in the Beta days, is because Russia starts getting colonists when she owns a port. So if you play with Arkangelsk as a port Russia get too many colonists too early.
