Civil War II Nexusmods Page is live

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 16:47:09 +0000

Hello Civil War 2 community,

I am still playing with friends actively Civil War II. Over time, we’ve noticed a number of small things that could be improved, so I started modding the game for our sessions.

Naturally, I wanted to share my work with everyone. But I also wanted to make sure the mod would remain available for a long term, hopefully permanently. Unfortunately, many mods posted on the ageod-forum have been lost over time.

To solve this, I requested that Nexusmods add Civil War II to their site, and they approved Civil War II! I’ve already uploaded my mod "Gunray's Civil War II Enhancement Mod", and we have also the great mod "The Blood and Thunder" on Nexus.

I hope this can become a place to host not only new mods, but also to preserve older ones that are no longer available.

You can find the NexusMods page here:

Revolution under siege.

Sat, 29 Jun 2024 15:16:28 +0000

Looking to play an average length scenario against a well disciplined opponent.
Opponent chooses side and decides if we play ladder or not.
We will then choose a scenario that we both can agree to play.

In advance I can say that I kind of like the what if Germany won WWI and attacked Russia afterwards.

WON 1vs1 PBEM

Fri, 09 Jun 2023 07:25:44 +0000

Looking for a British/Coalition player to try out these of house-rules for WON 1vs1 PBEM.

Deep knowledge of AGEOD games/game engine and/or Napoleonic Wars is preferred.

These house rules have Peninsular War and Russia ending the game as part of the Coalition
scripted in.

Control over the Major Nations

Great Britain or France control all other Major Nations in the game, Russia, Austria, Prussia, Spain and the Ottomans.

Great Britain will always control Russia, Austria and Prussia, it can also gain control of Spain and the Ottomans during the game.

France can only control Spain and the Ottomans and can lose their control over to Britain during the game.

Great Britain and France can have Limited or Full Control over the other Major Nations.

Limited Control is the minimum level of control that you get from the game start over the Major Nations if they are not part of the Coalition/Britain or Alliance/France.

Limited Control allows Construction Mode, purchasing of Replacements, issuing orders, moving and manipulating stacks within your own territory, moving fleets between your own harbors, issuing of Military Reforms, Decrees and the Regional Decisions cards.

Limited Diplomatic Actions

You can only send, accept or reject the following Diplomatic Actions when having Limited Control over the the Major Nation.

Accept Entry in Alliance/Coalition

Propose/Accept Entry in an Defensive Treaty to a Minor Nation

Propose to Receive an Expeditionary Force/Fleet from a Minor Nation

Propose State Visit

Propose Trade Agreement

Forge Casus Belli

Offer Peace

A Major Nation under Limited Control that is invaded by either Coalition/Alliance is moved under Full Control of the opposing Coalition/Alliance.
Note that attacking overseas colonies of Spain will not count as invasion of Spain proper.

If a Minor Nation with a Defensive Treaty with a Major Nation under Limited Control is invaded by either Coalition/Alliance the Major Nation is moved under Full Control of the opposing Coalition/Alliance.

Note that Scripted Events can bring Major Nations under Full Control before the Relationship Rating has reached the required level for the "Offer Entry in an Alliance/Coalition" Diplomatic Action.

Full Control is the highest level of control you get trough an "Offer Entry in an Alliance/Coalition" Diplomatic Action or trough scripted event (for example Russia and Austria in 1805 at the start of the War of the Third Coalition).

Full Control allows the use of the Construction Mode, purchasing Replacements, issuing orders, moving and manipulating stacks/fleets without limitations, all Diplomatic Actions and the issuing of Military Reforms, Decrees and the Regional Decisions cards.

When a Scripted Peace Treaty ( Pressburg and Schönbrunn for Austria, Tilsit for Prussia and Russia, Bucharest for Ottomans) is activated by the conditions being met it must be played and accepted by both sides in that turn.

Note that by default the game assumes that Coalition/Britain and Alliance/France are always at war.

When a Major Nation as a member of the Coalition/Britain agrees to a Peace Treaty (scripted or using the diplomatic interface) as the losing party against Alliance/France it must exit the Coalition by ending their membership in the Coalition using the in game diplomatic interface but remains under the Limited Control of Coalition/Britain.

The Coalition/British player must release Expeditionary Forces from the Major Nation in question to the Alliance/French player when requested trough the Diplomatic Interface but otherwise the Major Nation remains under the Limited Control of Coalition/Britain.

The Expeditionary Force requested by the Alliance/France from the Major Nation in question is limited to a maximum size of 14 line infantry elements, 2 cavalry elements, 6 field artillery elements.
This size is an average based on the historical treaties France made with Austria and Prussia.

Note that Russia is not under this rule and has it own Faction Specific Rules.

When a Major Nation underAlliance/French Full or Limited Control agrees to a Peace Treaty (scripted peace treaty or using the diplomatic interface) as the losing party against the Coalition/Britain the Major Nation in question is transferred under the Limited Control of Coalition/Britain.

Major Nations under Alliance/French control (Spain or Ottomans) must agree to a peace treaty offered by the Britain/Coalition after their NM (National Morale) is <75 and their Capital is occupied by Coalition forces.

Note that Spain has the in game National Modifier "Fanatiscm" and occupation of their capital has little effect on their will to resist invasion, invasion of Spain proper also triggers the Spanish Army Reforms.

Note that invading Spain proper is not in the interest of the Coalition/British player, there is a large number of scripted events that assume France will invade Spain at some point of the game, but these house rules leave the option to invade open.

Faction specific rules

France

France must play the following Annexation Events (Hannover, Oldenburg, Holland, Tuscany, Papacy, Catalonia, ) in order to win the game.

This rule basically guarantees a Peninsular War as the Catalonia annexation event assumes war between Spain and France, the Tuscany and Papacy annexation events degrade the Relationship Rating,-100 (hate) to +100 (very friendly), between Spain and France working as as a lead up to the conflict.

France must end the potential Ottoman membership in the Alliance if the Treaty of Tilsit event fires between Russia and France.

Russia

Russia must Declare War (DOW) on Britain if the Treaty of Tilsit event fires but it does not have to join the Alliance or engage in acts of war against Britain other than by issuing DOW using the Diplomatic Interface.

This rule allows for Russia to annex Finland from Sweden using the Annexation of Finland event in the game.

Russia does not have to give an Expeditionary Force at the request of France like Austria and Prussia.

These represent the historical situation where Russia allied with France and was at war with Britain after Tilsit but never lived up to the expectations of Napoleon I and the Tilsit treaty by truly joining the Alliance and the Continental System.

Russia is free to end the state of war with Britain and Britain/Coalition will automatically restore Full Control over Russia if France plays the Annexation of Oldenburg event.

This rule basically guarantees a continuation of war between France and Russia as France needs to play the Annexation of Oldenburg event to win the game.

Ottomans

Ottomans will be transferred under Coalition/Britain Limited Control if the Empire Reform event fails.

Recommended game mechanic related rules for the off map boxes.

Merchant squadrons can only be stacked together in the trade boxes if escorted by a warship squadron, then the limit is 3 merchant squadrons.

This will make the naval game much more active and historical, the merchant squadrons represent thousands of historical merchantmen.

Only Britain can afford to create their historical convoys system and escort ships but it will require using resources and it will need to keep watch for French/ Alliance raiders.

Naval batteries cant be placed outside of the fortress/city in the off map boxes.

But they can be separated to separate stacks to create independent batteries within the same fortress/city.

This will help especially Britain taking out the French/Alliance colonies without having to make unhistorical opposed landings under coastal battery fire.

People Still Play This?

Sat, 20 May 2023 00:49:12 +0000

I bought most of the series during the Matrix sale a while back. I've played the Roman focused ones a little against the AI. I'm not very good yet, but a h2h game sounds interesting.

I have just about every game in the series and from what I've seen there is a lot to like, even-though I don't really know much about the system and have light knowledge of the historical aspect covered , save the roman and Civil War period-but the Civil War based game looks very complicated.

Its another one of my series on my to - do list that I never seem to get around to in depth.

Wars of succession.

Hi every one, and All the best in the New Year!

I have only one little question.

My Thirty Years War AAR vs Rangerkgbooboo

Mon, 12 Nov 2018 17:02:19 +0000

ok, I am a bit behind the infamous KGbooboo in getting started, but here I am.

Starting situation: My protestants are in revolt. I hold Prague and start with Pilsen under siege. I have good leaders and good troops but am outnumbered and will face numbers and resource problems for the foreseeable future. My goal is to survive the first few years.

First few turns--the Holy Roman Empire (HRE), basically Austrians at this point, come out after me faster than I expected. I get pushed back from my siege of Budweiss and have to raise the siege of Pilsen, which will hurt because I need its resources. Budweiss would also have given me god stuff.

I eventually stabilize my situation, with my main army falling back on Prague, my capitol and send an infantry unit with a supply unit to siege Pilsen for the winter. I eventually capture it and now get more money over time.

The first full year 1619: My army is strengthened and I feel like, while I am still outnumbered, I am no longer at a huge disparity. I screen the HRE force in Budweiss and prepare for a new region to open up, to the east, with Brunn as the key city. I then move some cavalry into Brunn immediately in order to trigger the creation of a few large Protestant infantry units. The HRE cavalry moves in and wins. Over the next few turns I fail to take Brunn. Then I use some EP to get a large force of Hungarian cavalry and in July I destroy the HRE cavalry force and take Brunn. But it is too late to fire the event to get the troops. On the other hand, my main army delivers to crushing defeats to the main HRE force. My cohesion is too low to risk pursuit of a force that I now only barely outnumber.

Currently, it is October and my main army is taking on replacements and troops activated by the King of Bohemia event in Prague and I think the HRE main army is in Budweiss licking its wounds. BUT, the Hungarian's have moved to take Vienna under siege...

Thirty Years War AAR

Tue, 23 Oct 2018 22:01:11 +0000

Thought I would try my hand at an AAR in hopes of generating a bit more interest. This won't be a detailed thing as I'm still learning the details myself but hopefully a big picture thing.

Spent the first months sending troops to relieve the siege of Budweiss and then hunkered down in Linz for the winter, where I had built a depot. My big worry is keeping up with my supplies so as to not lose more of my army to attrition than combat. I did get some desperately needed monetary assistance from the Spaniards and the Pope. Hope they keep that up! Spring has come with the mud but the pesky Protestant heretics had snuck in and taken Brun with just a Dutch cavalry regiment so we had to put some troops on the move to persuade those lads that they might like the brothels in Amsterdam better. Moving supply wagons up to Linz so to have enough grub and bullets to accompany the army when we get clear weather.

Promise to provide more details and some screenshots next time as I'm doing this a bit off the cuff today.

How about a new map for the new AGEOD engine

Sun, 14 Oct 2018 16:39:50 +0000

I have been a long term fan of AGEOD’s strategic games since the first “Birth of America” game and particularly attached to Alea Jacta Est and its DLC / add on scenarios. Think the area movement system is particularly good at covering warfare before the rise of mass armies made continuous battle fronts possible.

While its good that we are getting a new engine I wonder if an additional master map is needed as well, specifically one that is less Eurocentric. The current master map has its top left hand corner north west of Scotland and its bottom right hand corner in South West Iran.

This is great for games centred on a world view that see the Mediterranean as the “middle sea” at the centre of the civilised world and there are quite a few more games set in late antiquity and the medieval to early modern periods that AGEOD can no doubt do with it, however one of the strength of the AGEOD series that always been hat it does wars that other play by email games do not.

To really open things up here I think we need what I would call a “Cradle of Civilisations” map that has its top left hand corner in the Czech Republic and its bottom right hand corner in the Indian state of Odisha.

This is a world where the centre of gravity is in the area of the Cities of Babylon and Bagdad and where both the Central Asian steppe superhighway and the endless planes of northern and central India are wide open for conquest and empire building. Games and DLC that might use such a map could include, to name but a few.

1.The conquest of the Persian Empire by Alexander the Great
2.The wars of Alexander’s successors and the dynasties they founded .
3.The Arab empires wars of conquest against the byzantine and Persian empires and the wars of the Islamic successor states to the Abbasid Caliphate.
4.The wars of conquest in Central Asia the Middle East and Eastern Europe by the Mongols.
5.The Campaigns of Tamerlane and his descendants including the Moguls in India down to 1600.
6. The 4 way struggle for power between the Ottomans, Safavids, Uzbeks and Moguls in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Any thoughts guys ?

Regards
Ian
