Someone asked about sustainable inflation rates.
In one game (adnmitedly against an AI) I am running the south at 37% and have taken St lious, Cincinati and am beseiging San Francisco.
Talk about going from being a penny pinching frugal miser to the "greed is good" phiosophy of warfare.
Anyone been doing higher rates with success?

I'm playing a game against the USA AI now where I'm just under 50% inflation. It's mid-1864, and I invaded Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana this summer... I'm holding the line in the east just north of Baltimore.
I did loose fairly bad in the West (Missouri, where I just lost St. Louis) this summer, since the Union surprised my with a large force that looks like it came from California, but I'm rebuilding my Army of the West in Arkansas and will retake that with a winter campaign probably.
One thing that I haven't seen mentioned yet is that you can lower inflation (slowly). Quit printing money, and you'll begin getting "Economic sunrise" events that lower inflation by 1. I think that you have to go one turn without raising inflation, and then every turn that you go after that without doing anything to raise inflation will give you the event. I tend to do all of the drafting and finance at the same time, so you get one large bump and then it can slowly lower.

I played a game against USA AI this weekend, it was more than a year I last played the AI, it has improved, but still seems to be unable to cope with an all out CSA strategy. I spent like mad in the first year and before summer 1862 I took, Louisville, Washington and Baltimore, and that was it, so no time to experince high inflation.
BTW shouldn´t CSA be able to recruit in Maryland? at least some volunteers should pop up if CSA takes Baltimore...

Ah, good to know... thanks.

That was talked about in another thread here just recently. The conclusion seems to be that more fought for the Union then did the Confederacy...
Still, I think that some millitia should be available if you're really winning.

Apparently the south gets a Maryland unit supposedly to cover this.
But yes I am with you .If the south are doing well they should be able to recruit militia from Maryland.
Daxil,
Totally agree. Loyalty should be the key factors not trying to parody history.
Anyway the mathematical variables are already programmed into the Loyalty factor so if the player is talented enough to overcome that he should be rewarded by being able to recruit there.
It is simply a reflection that the occupier is a good administrator and therefore has public sympathy.
