The way things are now, there is no way to recreate historical attacks on forts using gunboats or blue-water fleets I am not as familiar with the Mississippi River campaigns, but in the Atlantic theater gunboats, and ironclads in particular, were not directly effective against land fortifications. ...

I know, which is why I said it was for a modder or someone developing AACW 2 to look at.

My apologies if that was unclear.

Historically, fleet's very rarely reduced forts on their own did they? I can't really think of any situation where that happened.

Not a game breaker but mousing over John Dahlgren's Artillerist ability icon in the unit bar causes a CTD if you have his unit card open. After a little inspection, I found this: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b350/cwhomer/Dalerror.jpg I checked a couple other generals and admirals, doesn't seem ...

This happened when I started with extraction of updated mod SVF2. :p leure: Just downloaded and installed the latest version with no problems myself. A couple questions for Clovis: -Is Cape Henry supposed to be an "Ocean" zone? All the sea zones around it are "coastal" including the American Basin ...

Something that I noticed before the latest updates and I am still running into: Some purchased units are not being built. I've checked this several times. In the savegame below the Ohio Brigade of 2 infantry/1 volunteer is not appearing. I thought at first that I was running out of money, then that ...

In case you couldn't figure it out a) I hadn't and b) that fixed it. Sorry about that.

1. How much longer will it be supported? If it's been out for 2 years then it has to be coming close to end of life which leads into my next question. AGEOD supports its games like few, if any, other companies. Not including hotfixes, Birth of America was patched up to version 1.13. Then BOA2 follo...

Another issue: Ledger text has disappeared. For example: the headings above politicial options, next turn expenses, the text below rail/river purchases, etc. Also, battle report screens are largely blank.

Fixed. You have to go in the SVF/Gamedata/units foder. look for a file named: 287USARodman Art. (KY). Remove it. I've uploaded a new version on the first page of the thread with the modification. Problem solved. I'll keep an eye out for other stuff, but I'm in the process of moving, so if I don't g...

Hello Clovis, Am playing your mod as Union and enjoying it very much. One question; I built an ironclad in Philadelphia but it will not sail south to Hampton Roads. Am I missing something here? Seems I was able to build ironclads on the east coast and then move them to the James Estuary in ver 1.13...

. Meade is overrated in the game IMHO. He was pretty cautious, just like the many of the rest of the Union Generals. His inability to crush Lee following Gettysburg was a hard pill to swallow for many. He had 2 fresh Corps to fight with (6th and 12th underrr....Slocum and Sedgewick?) and a well res...

I believe he means the ability to command in battles as in Forge of Freedom or Civil War Generals II.

WAD, or a bug? http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b350/cwhomer/Burnsides.jpg I had a division of four brigades lead by Ambrose Burnside. Burnside disappeared between turns, and the stack became locked (I'm playing with hard activation enabled). When it became unlocked, I broke the division apart. Gro...

I added them up as well. I'd go with your totals, as I added them quickly and probably forgot to check them.

Here's some information regarding artillery at Antietam. Common name: 6-lb.

For 12lb artillery of all types: Common name: Napo...

Grey has said that he looked at these events and their logic was... messy. In my experience sometimes they work correctly, and sometimes they don't. If you look under the mods forum, there is a Kentucky Neutrality add-on that makes some big changes to the way Kentucky is handled. It is supposed to b...

What AI settings are you using? If you give AI a high fog of war bonus and use conservative setting, it should cut down on the deep raids.

Very true... At least 18 months ago. The only actual HQ unit left in the game is the Army HQ, which has to be included for specific game reasons. I consider myself up to date with things (your work on HAM, the beta patches, and so on), but I missed the whole divisional HQ period entirely. For the r...

I'd like to start by saying that I realize that it is impossible to implement anything of the following under the current engine. These ideas are more of suggestions/wishes for, say, AACW 2 (should we ever be that lucky), and to get people thinking. This is why I didn't post this in the wishlist thr...

What patch are you using?

The latest beta patch, 1.12a (RC5) is available in the "Help to Improve AACW!" subforum and includes some AI changes. Athena is very much improved overall and, specifically, in regards to what you are talking about.

He is one of the best Union corps commanders. Do his ratings go down when assigned an army (they did not go down when I promoted him to 3 stars) Leader ratings can go down (and up?) upon promotion and receive new abilities, depending on their historical perfomance. Certain generals were great divis...

I've been studying USA double units for the April 1861 scenario over the last couple of weeks, and wondered if this was something needing fixing.
