Great stuff Hinkel. I love the ACW mod but ETW always felt a bit clunky to me - like the NTW base better. I look forward to some progress with this and good luck.

Re: North & South - The American Civil War [1861-1865]
Graphics, sound, action are amazing--great work. I've played several battles and am very optimistic about fully developed versions. Design indicates attention to detail, love of battle action, and fantastic battlefield mechanics--tactical decisions (brilliant strokes or errors) play out effortlessly and in full cinematic affect. ACW devotees will not be disappointed.
Re: North & South - The American Civil War [1861-1865] [RELEASED]
Cav needs a big look at, if it touches art they shatter. It fights basically to the last man, frontal charges canister and rifles and is A-OK afterwards. You can completely shatter armies with cavalry. Considering Cav during this war played such a minor role, I find this odd. Perhaps a cap on cavalry numbers is in order? I don't think they need a nerf stats wise, but that you can field an entire army of them is odd balance and historical wise...
Apart from that, loving the work that's gone in to it -- Rifle accuracy seems piss poor until you close to touching distance

I have that same issue too. The installer didn't even create its own ACW folder for me, I had to do that myself then installed it, did the script thing and all. Didn't work, still crashed and everything
Re: North & South - The American Civil War [1861-1865]
THIS, I will watch. I think the ACW mod with the NTW battle mechanics will make it top notch; and this is from a man who immensely enjoys the ETW-ACW mod.
Re: North & South - The American Civil War [1861-1865]
They should use the varientmodels In my opinion, help with graphics, because ETW models look terrible to those who have to play on medium graphics and such
Re: North & South - The American Civil War [1861-1865]
great idea all of the confederate units should be diffrent and all uniforms instead of 4 or just 2 or 1 type of uniform in volunteer infantry and regular also hoods texans and the stonewall brigrade plus gregs brigade and many more: it should look something like this.Confederate (C.S.) Plain Enlisted Kepi

Hello Hinkel,
I hate to dig up something from the very beginning of this thread but I have a quick question about the ETW flags in this picture.
Did you somehow manage to get this regiment to carry two flags? The picture looks like there is the standard Union Flag, aswell as a state flag. Is this so, how did you manage it?
I am interested in adding more drummers and fifers to regiments for ETW.
