I said, that we will add this in our next version. And this thread here is not our next version
Our next full version with new models will be version 3.0.

Thanks Shokh. By the way, was retraining units taken out for some reason?

[shokh]

It´s only hidden, you can still use it.

Okay good, Stonewall only has 1 man with him in his unit and I don't want to lose him.

Shokh i was wondering could the CSA and union have more troops in the beginning as in the first year of the war. And since the mod starts in 1861.
And maybe more income starting with? For larger battles?
Grant came in Virgina with only 1,500 men. I was foolish not having some troops in Virgina.
But I had 1,000 near the border of the north/east.
They didn't attack me, but went straight to my Capital.
We fought on the battlefield i lost. And New Orleans became the capital of the country.
Next move i took it back. Troops have been very few. If you build more, the population becomes unhappy and income gos down. I understand the basics of this.
But wouldn't it be better to have more troops and a few artillery at the start of the game? In stead a few ittle stacks that amount to 160 to 400 men.
I know historically we cant put 1,000's of troops on each side. But maybe a little more cash to give the impression of it.

[shokh]

I have reduced the starting treasure after critic from users it is too high.
But the base income each turn is raised. When you use all trade rights you should be able to build enough troops.

[swhunter]

Explain trade rights?
Are you saying sea trade? Dip.?
I take it this is for 3.0? Or 2.6?
thanks

[shokh]

I meant trade agreements. You can set about 4 or 5 at campaign start as CSA.
This gives you a few thousand income each turn.

[Niccolo` Machiavelli]

You should also always upgrade your governors houses. That brings in good income for me.

Yep, and roads!

[swhunter]

Thanks guys. I can now. The Union have been pushing me around. so i couldn't build as i should.
But after a few decent battles. I can. I think i have 4 or five trade agreements one is with Mexico also. Also with my ships trading over seas.

[Niccolo` Machiavelli]

Be strategic who you align with, this will depend on who you can trade with.

My advice is to make an alliance with Great Briton. They war with the Union. This will make the fight easy for you. I am in the year 1963 and I own all of the United States except Washington and the few regions above it.

Sorry for the double post.

[swhunter]

I experienced a freeze. When union ships attacked CSA.
I then rebooted, and received a message from Microsoft.
Load it again and can not continue the campaign. This happened before and i had to restart it over again. One thing that bothers me if i might say. Having a war with and south and north for a few years does make since. But to continue into dates past 1870 and beyond seem a little wrong. Just my 0.2 cents.
Anyhow any ideas what problem could be? I have 2.6 with that update.

[swhunter]

The ship was attacked and lost to three union ships. But the CSA damaged some of them.

[shokh]

o.k. Thx.
Looking forward to it.

2 of our team tested your savegame.
Loading crash what means the are corrupt or while playing where other files as 2.6+update activ.
I´m afraid i can give no solution for this. There must be somewhere a conflict.

[Railin]

I dont like asking this at all but Shokh can you give us an estimate about when the 2.6 final release will be out? Thanks

I have figured out how to change the names of my units. I know have Quantrill's Raiders instead of Mosby's Raiders. I was wondering where to find the generals ui. I couldnt find them. I want to actually put Qauntrill as a general. Could you help?

Edit: Ok I over looked the generals name. My next question is how to change the picture?
