Really enjoying the game so far, but there a couple of things I haven't been able to figure out:

1) If you are creating a Corps in a region that is in the command radius of two different armies, what determines the army it is attached to?

2) I have yet to be able to build any artillery. Even though the region I drag the card to is green, I get a message saying the region has to be industrialized. How do you tell if a region is industrialized, or how do you industrialize it?

1/As far as I understand it's the closest Army. I guess you're playing the South White, right ?
2/you have economical options to build industry in cities very soon. Otherwise you have a few cities that can build artillery from the begining(Azov in the South and Omsk in the Urals)

you have to make do with what the game choses, developers have stated that they never found the time to solve this
you can try this: move a 2nd 2-star general into into the Corps stack, sometimes he will take command. then form a new Corps with the old Corps commander, and often the other army is chosen.
You could also chose to form several Corps, if you have enough 2-star generals, and then disband the ones you don't need.

In case you play the South, just wait till about turn 20 or so when Rostov nad Don becomes available.

Got it. Here's another one - sometimes after a battle a corps becomes disbanded and I can't re-form it. Bug or WAD?

Depends. Did the leading commander die?? You need 2 or 3 star generals to form a corps and be in the range of the army commander (press shift while having him selected)

Generally, Army Commander with more seniority can influence.
