I`m curious if the next patch will address the unrealistic weather issues in and around the Ohio River areas, and down to the Cumberland River, where you get almost continous snow/freezing weather from about late Oct through March. Many people, including myself, have brought up detailed examples of ...

With all due respect, threads like this invariably lead to nasty off topic political debate that create bad blood amoung the Community.

It doesn`t belong here, on this Game Specific Forum IMHO.

FWIW, I thought NM, as it effects the winning or losing of the Game,was based on territory lost, especially large cities ? In an age where public communcations were severely affected by distances, and both sides routinely used disinformation, also know as " spin control " as far as batttle results, ...

Well said Dan. I think McN and Hancock and the rest are actually doing a great service in providing free OPTIONAL mods for the Game. Pocus has stated NONE will be included in an official patch without the Devs looking at balance effects and/or screw-ups they might have regarding the default game. Su...

This should show what I mean: http://folk.uio.no/amveha/aacw/corps_bonus_from_army.jpg Rafiki Are the unit namings in the unit tray defaults or did you mod them ? In the 1.06 that I play the 1 star Generals have " Division" in the name bar, no matter what units are " inside", not 1st. Bde. as in yo...

What are you suggesting for the western weather patterns? Or is this about the AI and its lack of respect for winter's harsh effects? I really think this is a vital piece for the game as regards accuracy. To dismiss it would be like saying weather played no part in the Eastern Front during WW2. OK,...

The troop killing Snow and Ice usually start in Sept. and last continuously through March North of the Ohio river, and in the areas just below it. Since this Weather includes the line Lexington - Louisville - Bowling Green, which the Union should have by `62, it effects troops who are not inside a c...

What is a " linkage error " ?

What`s the verdict on Mikes _unoffical_ weather patch upthread ?

Is it a useable option in a Campaign Game re-start in anyones opinion?

Is Stonewall`s still in progress ? Nothing on that in 3 weeks.

IMO, the default Weather routine breaks the Game. Especially in the West.

Thanks

McNaughton Looking forward to your mods very much. Is it possible to address any of the concerns some of us have on the organizational aspects of the forces, as well as the descriptions in the icons ? Since the Devs are not around, and I didn`t see any info in the Modding Forum thought I would ask y...

Black Cat

I`m not quite sure what your asking for ? Could you run that past us again please? What I`d like to see in the realism department is the actual unit structure of the period. A Corps with a 3 Star General that contain the Divisions. A Division under a 2 star, or if necessay, a 1 Star general, that sa...

After having the AI take Washington in late 1861 in an early, and so far my most interesting & exciting Campaign Game, at the default settings , I`ve kept 1 small Division starting in late `61 in D.C. The AI has yet to again exhibit the excellence it did in that Game, where it did everything right A...

Black Cat

But McNaughton, Sir, with all due respect he is talking about the extensive, time consuming and unnecessary and Not Fun ( at least to me )mouse clicking required to find those reinforcements in the log, click on them in their small cities, click again and drag them to a camp of assembly in the East ...

Black Cat

Can we have important expensive units built in the large Cities, hopefully well back from the front. I just had Curtis, dug in to 5 with a full Division retreat from Padauce Ky.( sp ) when a CSA stack advanced into the area. Strange as that was... :8o: of course a Ky. Field Battery was about to be c...

Black Cat

Very Interesting and look forward to more. I`ve not done well as the CSA, so I hope your plans work out.

Black Cat

No. They are understrength in many cases to start the game. If you buy enough replacements to bring them up to strength, you will not have to buy any more. You are not paying for supplies. That doesn`t seem to be the way it`s working now in my games. Full Suppy Wagons that move into the red do not ...

Black Cat

That says it. Any hardware/software pros around to give advice ? I notice that the AI `s Campaign Game turns are taking much longer as I move into 1863. I have: Intel Pentium R Duel CPU 3.00GHz. 1 GB of Ram Windows XP & Service Pack 2 Windows manages memory. This is a pure Gaming Machine so anything...

Black Cat

In the end, it may be the AI needs more tweaking, like to secure a line of supply when attacking (instead of putting all forces in the front, try spreading things out). Also, what players may want to do, is to create some personal house rules regarding the AI. In my opinion, sometimes players play ...

Black Cat

my main problem with this theoretical change in division limits is that most divsions in the Civil war tended to have a fairly large number of regiments, even on the Union side. Looking through the OOB for I Corps at Gettysburg, i count 11 infantry regiments in Wadsworth's division, 11 more in Robi...

Black Cat

Interesting. Just bought it, so I'd be interested to hear if Bragg's command was just the HQ left, as you mention as a possibility. Well the good news is that Bragg`s stack did include at least a Small Corps+ . I tried to trap him north of Bowling Green, but he hit McClernad`s Div. again on the way...

Black Cat

I agree with McNaughton's assessment. The issue of AI recklessness and how it relates to FOW has been discussed previously as well. The bottom line seems to be that for the best game, you dont want the AI to have a FOW advantage as they will make too many reckless attacks. I am getting ready to sta...

Black Cat

Well, what are your difficulty stats? What is the FOW setting? This information would actually be useful! Try a more passive AI setting if this one is too aggressive, try very minimal, or even no FOW bonus (try one, then the other, then both to see if it improves things). Maybe the AI has reached t...

Black Cat

I like this Game a great deal, and try to play the land warfare part of it in a historical manner using the opperational doctrines of the times, the actual historical timeline driving my gameplay. Like most here, I just play the AI. Mutually supporting Corps, formed of Divisions, with mixed arms inc...

Black Cat

It seems to me that the cities needed to break the morale of the South (which also add to the North making them even tougher) should be adjusted...or at least maybe I can find out how to mod them. Currently you need Richmond (capital defense ai patch will help this become harder), New Orleans (hist...

I didn`t see a Readme File included in the Mod and may have missed this in the thread.

What does replacing just the units and models files with yours do in the Game ?
