I was looking through the event files in an effort to try and compile a list of the elite brigades that you get over the course of the game.

I noticed this one has the number of occurrences set to zero in the start event so that it never fires. Does anyone know if this was by intention or is it a bug?

That's strange, because I distinctly recall having a California Brigade that was elite. I'll check.

I could not find this brigade, but I certainly thought I got one so named. I remember because it showed up on the East Coast.

If I had to guess based on you seeing it before it probably existed in an earlier game version and was possibly excluded for game balance reasons? The devs will be the only ones who know for sure though

This is true. I haven't updated with any patches because Mickey3D and I started our game before they came out.

The California Brigade is the exact same regiments as the Philadelphia Brigade. Its an interesting story, here is the wikipedia article. The brigade was a part of AACW, I don't remember if it was ever a part of CW2, but the files contain many AACW legacies.

The California Brigade was originally part of the CW2 game, but since --as tripax stated-- it historically became the Philadelphia Brigade, it was dropped from the game.

Whether it being dropped was before or after Public Beta started I cannot remember, but that the event is still in the event file, but set to never fire is intentional.
