Re: The Blue and the Grey - 2.1 FEATURES [updated]
This looks like it's going to be a good campaign I was quite surprised that CA didn't make a DLC on the american civil war but this being a free one its even better how is the campaign coming on as I don't think I will try it until that version is released.

The campaign adds the CSA and USA to the empire grand campaign. So you can play with these 2 and their units. There arent any new technologies or any other countrys or other reworked countries in the grand campaign yet. All the other stuff is vanilla empire. So in 2.1 is just the basic campaign. Maybe more stuff will be added next year... it would be a hard work and we are just a small team
The main part of "the blue and the gray" are still the multiplayer battles.

Re: The Blue and the Grey - 2.1 FEATURES [updated]
Sorry, lot of real life stuff to do.
Besides that, we have some strange problems with the new equipment.
When we use the new blankets and knapsacks, the bajonetts, sabres and some other stuff are missing.. thats really strange and I don't want to screw on the new equipment

Also,
May I suggest release it now for beta testing?
Just a suggestion... :/
As you see in a preview, we added new equipment in 2.1, like blankets and knapsacks. But with these elements, bayonetts and swords are invisible! Thats the problem and we didnt fix it yet!

Every regiment will have 2 flags, but many regiments will share the same regiment flag. Just some regiments will have an unique one like 20th maine or irish brigade.

Excellent. I hope you guys will still be historically accurate in Giving the rebels only a single Battle flag!
(I know some units had two early on but most DID NOT)
