While reading about what units to use as blockade runners. I've noticed in my CSA campaigns. That non of the US fleets tries to enter any of the boxex. Blockade or shipping. From turn 2 and on blockade value was 0%.
It uses all its fleets to runnning around bombading me and making a few amphibius assults. Effect was that i with out worry could send all i had that could sail too get money as blockade runners, transports too.
Just thot i'd let u know. Might be a thing to look into.
Kind regards,
Rasmus

strange, the % are there... perhaps you can send me save where there is 0% and I will check what the heck the yanks are doing

I'm having the same thing happen.
Campaign game, starting in 1861: The Blockade percentage starts at 25%, then steadily drops by 5%, until by 1862 it's at 0%.

did you see a lot of bombardment on your fortresses ? I've reported this one a few weeks ago - and I think it drains the Unions pool of ships.
in other words - you don't know if a yankee ship got sunk - or not ... and it might be related to that.

Install the last patch, the AI has been tweaked. She should now put more attention on the blockade.

1.02e, and the Blockade Boxes are still at 0%, May 1862

I'm also still seeing the useless bombardment (only one small invasion via Fort Pickens) and consequent drop in blockade (late December 1861 now and down to 5%). Though I wonder whether the bombard issue might not instead, at least partially, be an AI move problem (path tracing), that is to say the AI might be moving via coastal zones mostly and just run into all those Forts by accident.

Yes --- all the Union naval assets seem to be tied up in bombarding my coastal forts. The only time my blockade runners seem to have a problem is when they accidentally run into one of these brown water flotillas.
