Just happened to start a PBEM (Full Campaign) this weekend and we're only at late May 61....noticed that the South's accumulated points per turn from cities was 30 (CSA) to 35 (Union) on the objectives tab.
Using the latest patch (1.16 Beta Patch 9)
Seemed really off to me, since we've not had any battles and the CSA has taken Grafton, WV and Ft. Sumpter. Aren't there way more cities on the map and is there any particular reason they wouldn't generate points?
Will take a look and see if it changes next turn in any manner.
