Status: offline 		Is there any way to reduce the UCI, besides the yearly 1% decrease? Playing as France in the 1815 scenarion you have about 500% in UCI making it impossible to buy any units. It might be realistic for the time, but it dosent really give you the option of playing on if you survive the first years, as it will take many centuries before you can raise a new army!! Either it should decrease by a certain amount in peace time, or there should be some events that reduces it.

That would be a good idea. But untill then, how do you reduce the default UCI for the 1815 scenario? I cant find any line for it in the COG2Players file, where I thought it would be.

Yes, but it isnt very fun to play on in that scenario, as you cant build any new divisions. It would be fun to try and rebuild the empire once again, if you survive the invasion from the coalition. But it just isnt possible with the high UCI in the scenario.

Anyone know? Can someone post a "general sketch" of it? Or is it covered in the new economy manual? I will check there quickly.

Status: offline 		In my 1815 game actually I didn't really have to build new divisions after holding off the coalition 6 times at Champagne....just wait a few months to let your draft pool replenish your exhausted division and the Lowlands are yours. I actually found the Russians to be the most formidable adversaries, they had lots of arty and 8.0 morale infantry. Austria was the first to fold. It's 1817 now and apart from Italy (no change) I've reestablished the Empire as far as Bremen.

Status: offline 		It is one of the columns in the players.txt file. This should be described in the Modder's Guide.

UCI is very simple.  The more money you spend on units the more expensive units get.  Every nation has a UCI divisor intrinsic to that nation.  The cost increase factor is 1+money spent / nation's UCI divisor.  Every turn the "money spent" decreases by a fixed amount.  This is meant to model in a simple way inflation (which was very rampant in England and Austria and elsewhere) and also war-weariness, the consumption of essential war resources, and other economic factors.  In terms of play-balance, it's meant to be a dampener of large nations, to give smaller nations a better chance of a resurgence late in the game.
