They are great for keeping your troops supplied if you are in a region with a harbor. They also keep your fleets supplied so they can stay out longer. They can also block the enemy from crossing rivers and such if you have enough of them. They are cheaper to make than land supply wagons so they are ...

Noob tips I found helpful.

So I just finished a game playing as the CSA starting in July of 1861 campaign. I played against Athena on regular difficulty and aggressiveness. In this game the war lasted until mid 1864 and there is a few observations that I wanted to share with other players who might be new to the game. First o...

something else I could use some help with is the rules on sieges. Is it in the manual or did I miss it? Theres been a few times now that I've had a sizeable force surrender even when they could have held out longer. Also, do you guys think its worth it to industrialize some states if you are CSA?

OK, so I have been playing for a few months now (loving the game btw) and there is a few things I'm not sure about I wanted to get the input of the community on. I play exclusively as CSA. Wheres the best place to build forts? I built one in Paducah and it seemed to do well keeping Nashville from br...

I've been wondering about that, thanks colonel hurst. The AI aggressiveness setting was on low last game, this new game I just started i set it at medium and it makes a big difference with Athena.

Well I played my first entire game (on normal difficulty) starting in 1861 through Jan. 1864. Even after taking over all of Kentucky early in the game and invading Maryland and Southern PA with Lee (who got killed in a battle btw along with J.E.B. Stuart.) it seems like it took a while to beat the u...

I have the patch installed and it looks like there a bunch of changes alright. Is there somewhere that anyone knows of where I can find the rules for what has changed and what is still the same?

Thanks for the tips. So far i've played until Feb. 1862 and captured Washington D.C. with over 1000 vp but the game kept going. I'll probably start a new one since I just installed the new patch to see what is different. Now that I got the hang of making units and also using the e and r keys to make...

Thanks for the answers. I can never seem to tell what the enemy power is, even when I have detailed info about them. Whenever i mouse over an enemy unit and it gives the info what are the numbers by the units? Is that the power of the units? Or their cohesion? I also have read about people upgrading...

Some beginner questions.

I've just been playing Athena on the least aggressive setting from 1861 to Jan. 1862. (I play only as th...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys but Its just too much to manage all of it. I will have to find a civil war game that is not so in depth because there is just too much to keep track of with this game. I want to like it so bad but just find it all too much. I been watching vids and reading threads...

So is there an easier way to learn this game?

I recently started playing because I have read alot of good reviews on this game. I have to say though it is a very steep learning curve and even after reading and rereading all the rules I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. The tutorial is really of no use except to show you where some ...

Yeah, its a used copy. I contacted the seller and he had lost the box for it along with the serial key. I was hoping to maybe buy one or something. It's honestly been so long since I played any computer games I forgot about even asking for that kind of stuff. So there is no way to legally get a prod...

It just came as the game disc with no box or anything. Just the CD and the sleeve. There is no serial on it at all. I just emailed you the receipt that I had from paypal. If somehow I did not do it right let me know because I am kinda computer retarded.

Need to get a CD key.

Hello, I recently bought this game off of ebay a few days ago but unfortunately the game did not come with a serial number to input after installation. Does anyone know what I would have to do get one because I am really looking forward to playing this great looking game.
