I have a question about some of the values in the model file. Most are self explainitory. Others I can't find anything on them. The BoA modding handbook has a section for units, but it is unfinished.
CohMove - the lower the number the more cohesion is lost when moving???
Weight - I know what weight is but related to this where is it defined the capacity of the ships, rail and river transport? Is it hardcoded?
ProgRate???
SupHitPen, SupMovePen, and SupCbtPen - Penalities for each category when out of supply?
BuildRate - is this in days?
When you design a scenario and create units that contain various models like brigades, can you specify their starting strength to something other than full strength? For example I want the unit to contain regiments that have a established strength of 1000 men and I can do that in the model. But the unit that uses this model I want to start the scenario at say 75%...

Hi wiltaz!
Yes. This value divided by 100 is the cohesion lost per day.
You can mod this. To transport something is an 'Ability'. You can create a new ability with a custom transport capacity for your units if you like.
The abilities are saved in [font="Courier New"]...AGEod's American Civil War\ACW\GameData\Abilities\[/font]
The corresponding DB-file is [font="Courier New"]AACW_DB_Ability_list08.xls[/font]
Influences the gain of experience from fights.
Yes.
It is a relative rating. The smaller the value the longer it takes to build the unit.
You can change the health of units in the scenario setup using the SetHealth command. I can't say at the moment how to change the health of a single element in a unit, I will check that.
