Any balanced MP OOBs?

Post by Garnier »

So I've been sitting in game lobbies for a long time, and seeing a bunch of oobs, but none of them are set up well for a balanced MP game.

Once we are able to mod we can make tons of balanced MP oobs, but for now, are there ANY that are set up in such a way that ~4 players can each command roughly division strength with both arty and inf?

All the Corps sized oobs I've seen have all the artillery in their own divisions. Often the corps will have just one infantry division and one artillery division. If you've got two players on that side, one of them only gets artillery and the other gets all the infantry.. it's just not good for MP.

OOB_SB_Div_Day_2 is balanced. I tried my best to make it even forces on each side, but it's hard when Rebel brigades were much larger than Union. But the numbers are pretty even (off by 200 or so).

What we used to do with games that had imbalances, was to play a home and away type of game.

Same settings as the first game, but you both switch sides.

The winner is the one who scored the highest total number of points.

Of course, for cometitive situations perhaps.

I'm talking about balanced forces under each player, in a ~4+ player game. Currently, you either have an entire corps or something huge, or you get one infantry division or one artillery brigade, which means you don't get a mixed force unless you're the top commander.

Ah I understand. Hopefully, we will have some talented modders make up a few OOBs which are balanced for us to use later on. :)

Yeah, really need some kind of balanced OOB. I had a game with a few people last night as the confederates. But we had an entire corp of cavalry, while the union had more infantry.
