Thanks for the added input. I should clarify that when I said I wanted things to play out more historical in regards to the ACW I didn't mean I wanted to refight the war like in the specific scenario or from Ageod's ACW game. I was referring to the prep I did for the war. I tried to resist only upgr...

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize the "free" corps were using up my conscripts. I see now I made many mistakes leading up to the war. I was trying not to prep for the ACW even though I knew it was coming to get a somewhat historical feel game. I guess I should have been more preparing for the wa...

Forgot to ask. Should I have received at least a few commanders at the outbreak of the war. The manual really stresses making stacks with commanders over independant stacks, but in my game as GB and this one as USA I couldn't do that as there aren't many commanders to use. I figured that was a peace...

Ok, so my latest update. I finally reached the ACW and played a few turns. When the split happens my units are moved to northern cities, I get several units that are locked per events, the AI does too, my officers and conscripts are set to 0 and my replacement pool receives some free replacements. F...

Thanks for the info. To answer the questions about national stocks for most items I'm at 80%. I'm meeting requirement for common goods and food. I'm about 12 short on luxary goods right now due to my production and shortages in world market. I'm trying to increase luxary goods but some of them are i...

So when I first got the game I read the manual, played the tutorials then played as Britain to get a feel for things as alot of reading rules doesn't sink in until playing. After I got into the mid 1850s I realized I had screwed up so much not knowing what I was doing. So I decided to take my new kn...

Thanks for the responses. I didn't even think to view the supply filter. As I get time to play this more and more I'm sure I'll have more questions, but eventually I'll have everything figured out.

See screenshot. I previously completed RR in Lynchburg region but it doesn't even show on the map. Not even a small line going nowhere like exists in other regions that dead end. I have the tooltip up to show that. I expanded the RR into Blue Ridge so that forces in VA could rail more directly west ...

thanks for the tips.

This is probably going to sound stupid, but I must be missing something simple. No matter the mode I'm in if I click a city 98% of the time it goes to military mode and selects the stacks garrisoned inside the city. When I want to view the cityscape this gets very frustrating. I right click to get r...

Thanks for the tip. I found the forum discussion and disabled the army shortcuts.

How much modding is necessary to do 1 week turns? I don't mean just to make it run 7 days at a time as I assume that is the easy change, but overall to bring everything else into line?

- GBR-US trade treaty and Miner Rebellion events both give messages in format evt_nam__GBR_etc but display fine in F1 screen. I was going to report this and I'm glad I searched for it to make sure I wasn't duplicating. I got this too. Turn after turn I chose the option to help the miners to avoid a ...

I recently decided to give this game another try as I found a PBEM opponent. I was happy to see a patch had recenlty been released. I like that the armies get an icon as a sidebar on the right, but my question is about the mexican and british armies showing up for the USA and CSA. I know that if cer...
