Adding to the cavalry pool

As the Union player on Lieutenant setting I always run out of cavalry to
buy sometime in 1863. Is there a way to increase the number of available
cavalry to purchase without screwing something else up?

And yea, just for the heck of it I'd love to create a all cavalry army!

It is moddable, but I am not sure how to do it. Probably something in the units folder.

For exampl,e, the April 61 with KY scenario:
Look in the \ACW\Events folder for file:
1861 April w-KY Campaign.sct

Open with notepad, then search for event evt_nam_USA_ForcePoolJuly61andfollowing

then find lines similar to:
ChangeUnitPool = $uni_USA_Cav1IA;4
ChangeUnitPool = $uni_USA_Cav1WI;4
ChangeUnitPool = $uni_USA_Cav1IL;4
ChangeUnitPool = $uni_USA_Cav1PA;6
ChangeUnitPool = $uni_USA_Cav3MD;2
ChangeUnitPool = $uni_USA_Cav3CT;4
ChangeUnitPool = $uni_USA_Cav3NY;4
ChangeUnitPool = $uni_USA_Cav3OH;4

Change the numbers to increase FP...

Remember to save a copy of the original!

See the AGE Wiki for modding info!
