ok im new to age games maybe thats why im having problems with civil war. the tut seems to be missing info. here are a few problems im having.

making a division somtimes when i get units in same stack no problem other times when i try to form division i cant get units to join general or get a option to select them with the arrows? im assuming they all have to be stacked to make a division but somtimes i cant get all units to show up in stack to use arrows.

supply lines have me confused also when i click on map fpr showing levels of supply i dont see supply lines just the map shades to a diff color.

new units or reinforcements ok i go to book to make them when do i get them lol for instance i made some gunships and all i got was a message saying they where almost ready but never got a message after saying they were rdy.

the game is stunning with map and the depth it goes into i just need a beg guide to this game the manuel is lacking here for a new player hmm im thinking almost that this game was designed for those that have played other games by ageod lol. any help would be greatly appreciated as this is a game that i could really get into as im a big civil war buff saying that is a understatement. im obsessed with the civil war thanks in adavance for any help for a neeb

For info on building divisions, your best bet would be to take a look at the AACWwiki which is stickied at the top of this forum. You know about using the CTRL-left click to select units for your division?

Likewise for supply, wiki would be your best bet.

When you are building units and you receive a message that they are almost ready, the units are ready to move. You will not get another message.

looked over at wiki and i still have problems with divisions . for instance i have a option to make a general a division leader and pay the cost ok np until i try to get the same units in stack to add to general and i get message u need to have more than 1 unit selected ? other times i have no problem making a division so i cant figure out why i can make divisions and other times i cant and why does the game let u make a division when u cant add the units to the division. lol i hate spending the cost of making a division then cant get the units in the same square to form div.

anyways still reading up on game but if anybody has a answer or can tell me what im doing wrong i would greatly appreciate it. meery xmass :w00t:

REB, you need to CTRL-leftclick on the units you want to bring into the division as well as the division (general) itself
