Anyone know how to increase the number of available armies or make corps available sooner than historically?

You cannot. You must live with the limits in the design.

It's possible, I've done it in my mod. However I don't really remember exactly how I did it.

I think the limit is set by event so you'll have to edit the .sct-files. You might also want to add some names for the new armies to 1-USA.fac and 2-CSA.fac

EDIT:
After thinking about it, I think the number of armies are regulated by how many commanders are actually able to form armies. This is done via model files for leaders. Add the line "CanBeGHQStack = 1" to enable army creation for a specific leader.

Yes, it's fairly simple. There are two commands that deal with this. IIRC they are specific to a faction, so if you want to do it for both sides you'll have to apply the command separately to each. In the standard game the commands are called by event files and are tied to dates. I *think* you can edit the event file and have the changes take place without having to recompile the entire scenario, but I'd back up any files you change. I'll have to look up the command names, but they are on the AGE wiki.

EDIT: The commands are SetFormedCmdMax and SetCombiUnits. I looked on the wiki but for some reason they syntax of the command didn't show up. Here's what I have for them. My understanding is that SetCombiUnits is only used to set the number of divisions. The current game uses SetFormedCmdMax to set the number of armies and corps.
