I think it's the forum ... especially in Quick Reply. I use IE11. Sometimes, when I first type a post, it runs vertically right down the left side of the text field. One letter on top of the other.

You know a lot more about that than I do. This thread has gone off course and is now somewhat outdated as there is an RC7 now. But ... what I know is this [after playing for years almost always as the CSA, and almost always the full 1861 campaign]: whether playing AACW or CWII - through version 1.04...

My verdict on 1.04 replacement system

With auto-replacements turned OFF -- units are still automatically being replaced, it appears to me. All except Light Infantry & Elite [I purchased 5, 2 are left]. Also, on he next panel, artillery does not get replaced. This is with 1.04. So, at either setting, I have enough resources to play the g...

I started a new April campaign with 1.04 & turned off auto-replacements ... have run through to July and I really don't notice a difference. There are replacements for all units except elite ... which I always have to initially build, even with it fully turned on. It's giving me a headache! Everythi...

That is possible, Andrew ... however, there is no mention of "fixing" that in the change log. 1.04 plays a lot more like AACW, where there were no automated replacement options at all, so, I imagine it was working properly UNTIL 1.05. I've been meaning to restart a game with auto-replacements "off" ...

Back to 1.04

I went back to playing version 1.04. There is no doubt, in my mind, that there is a major difference in how conscripts are generated in this version. It is a much more playable game. I am confident that 1.05 has some great improvements, but CSA troop numbers is not one of them. In 1.04, I am able to...

This issue has been present for several weeks now, since RC3 or 4. It occurs with most, if not all, the RGDs, but appears to be only graphical in nature. I think it occurs only if the decision has failed. Try dropping the card again in that same region.

True. It's just that it is noticeably different than before. I used to be able to build up more AND keep replacements. It wasn't easy, and it shouldn't be, but one could mange. As the game moves on, if things are going well for the Union, then, yeah you might expect this. As it is right now, unless ...

Appreciate that, but I have already done that. Have a fresh install with new game & save folders. Still having conscript issues.

I would have to look into it closer, but I suspect that some variable used in determining where units may be built has been incorrectly changed. There appear to be enough CC, Money and WSU to build, just no viable locations, and thus no way to build. Captain, in that 2nd image I posted that may ver...

Severely broken. I thought maybe it was graphical, but when I try to place a unit on the map, I am informed that I don't have enough resources to build the unit. That's it for this build.

RC4 Conscript Issue?

I've tried two campaigns - April, 1861 - as the CSA. I am pretty sure that we are not getting proper conscripts each turn. Running VERY low in both games. In the first, I got to Spring, 1862 [no CTDs :-) ], used every Draft RGD, and all mobilization choices. Other than with what comes free in the ga...

So far - I am in very early 1862 as the CSA - no CTDs. I haven't had to do this, but with this issue in past builds, I found that manually saving the game before processing the turn seemed to help.

As far as RGDs [full campaign]: Start with the CSA cotton bales in Matagorda, TX. Play one. It will appear as normal. Run the turn. USUALLY, the map icon will still be there, although the message box will have a proper message. Hoover your mouse over the icon on the map and the tool-tip will say som...
