Does either Union or Confederate ships have any reason to occupy these boxes? For example will Commence Raiders or Blockade Runners function in these boxes or will Union Ships increase Blockade percentage?

Ok I tinkered with files in the very latest version of the game on a Windows 7 system. It took me awhile to figure it all out but here is what finally ended up working for me. 1) In Games/Civil War II/CW2/Events I found the file (1861 April Campaign) By doing a replace all FixType = 999 to Fixtype =...

Does anyone know the best path to get off map Regulars in California and those Far West areas into main theaters? For example MO or even VA?

Interesting, I wonder if it just an abstract used during combat ie: faster so harder to hit?

I see here a lot of discussion about the Union Player not being aggressive and should be punished for not being aggressive. In a few post I've seen the argument that as a human player we have knowledge of the benefit of building strong armies before attacking - very legit, especially because Confede...

I know nothing about Modding, I would like someone to make the following Mod for the full April Campaign. After 1863 both Union and Confederate should be able to call Garrison Troops for their emergency needs. Grant called them for the replacement of losses during his campaign against Lee. I know of...

Poor old Rosy forgotten again. Rosecrans was the General in the early Western Virginia campaigns, Mac got the credit but Rosy did the fighting. He then got "lost" in the Capital, too important to ignore, not enough tits to give him one to command, but he was respected and powerful still and a result...

Perhaps it would nicer if the probability of a Fremont event would be higher (he was driven by his political ambitions to move against slavery), but give the player a choice, in line with Lincolns alternatives (hold him, but loose standing in the border states, dismiss him with winning standing in ...

Too many open questions such as were you out of rail capacity by this move? I don't have the line colors down but is blue march and white use rail? If that is the case they tried, but for some reason the train ride was 9 days, seems excessive but it took 7 days to just get to Carthage. I know this p...

I am frustrated by units under construction showing up as movable in the filters when they are not because they are "almost ready". I don't use the keys, I use filters to go from strongest to weakest Naval only, then Land only with an eye to which units can move but are not moving. So many times hav...

Everything was going along swimmingly until Late September. Then all the sudden I got pummeled. So out of 5 battles (all of which were fairly close considering in four of five AI slightly outnumbered me I was on defensive and AI was attacking, and the other one I greatly outnumbered AI), I lost 4 an...

The standard Supply Wagon is 4 wagons and the standard River Transport Ships is 2 ships, one of either will build the depot. The reason it must have an anchor only is if you use ships. To build you must FIRST control the area; ie: it must be turned your sides color. Once that is done you need to mov...

I have discovered the Auto Garrison feature works for the defensive players huge advantage. As the Union I discovered when we benifitted from Dallas Texas going Union, that I just kept the (2) Cavalry on the defense. The South attacked me and I got a free Garrison Unit so we stomped the attackers. B...

I believe (and I may be wrong) if you have a huge Army only part can fight on a given day. If you achieve a stalemate or a victory on the first day of battle other units may fight on the second day, stalemate or victory fight again a third and etc. However, if at any point you suffer a defeat all yo...

Ok that explains the "sometimes", it picking a random unit in the stack assigned, but its still frustrating. Oh well we soldier on...

If it takes battle damage or is in forming it needs to be in a depot. If sickness, say due to weather hits it it may revive (some of the sick will get well again).

On several occassions I have had troops I KNEW were assigned to a stack go off course. I carefully watched one turn before going to the next and re-checked all move orders and sure enough I found the issue. When you have a stack you are sending units to; my example (Eastern Depot) where I gather for...

I look at it this way those who fought the war learned as they went, everytime I ask a question here I feel like a General going "oh crap if only I knew it was that easy I would not have lost 2000 souls - oh well the war goes on"!

Ok thanks Ebbingford, it is astounding how much depth the game has, makes sense once you learn why that seemingly weird thing happened.

On two occassions the Rebels attacked a Garrison in a Stockade in the Far West, on both occassions my little Garrisons won the battle and the Rebs retreated. But I then got a message "Yada yada garrison in Fort Witchamalcallit has been mustered". Then the Garrison even though they took no battle los...

Cool.

Since there is no replay, I really need the focus on move to be slower. Even on the longest delay it is still too quick to see where the enemy is coming from and going to in just a few seconds. Is it even possable to halt until you hit a continue key. I just cannot keep track of the enemy without re...

Boy this is a nice job, really adds to the "feel" of the era - Great Job!

Poor ol Scott if only he knew his great plan was doomed by AI limits as well as morons in the Army and Navy of his time.

Runners are CSA units.

I have been studying blockcade methods and one thing that perplexes me is this: New Orleans to get to port it has outlet to Lower Mississippi, Mississippi Mouth letting out into Mississippi Delta and then out to sea. The second route is Lake Pontchartrain, Koney Island letting out to Biloxy Bay and ...

"I'd like to balance those with some comments on what I enjoy and think are strong, positive features." I like this, some who seem to complain a lot are not nessasarly unsastified with the whole product. I too point out things I may not like but the product as a whole is the best I have ever played....

Ok im anal, but when a area needs 12 elements to blockade I like to have 1 Blockade chit with 10 elements and one Frigate or Brig (with 2 elements), so I have only 2 chits... well three because I always throw in one Transport also. When the area needs 8 to blockade I use 1 8 ship Blockade chit and o...

Can a game designer answer this pretty please? If not possable can it be considered in a future patch?

Make sure no locked units are in same stack, might try putting Grant by himself and then he might be promotable.
