This is a whole new submod projects by me that focuses on immersion and atmosphere and adding new features to the game. As the B&G team progresses in making new versions, this mod will be constantly updated as I come up with new ideas to add to the gaming experience.
Sound Mod V 1.0 Changelog:
-Infantry engagements are backed with the sounds of the "crackle of musketry" from all around the battlefield in addition to separate musket discharge sounds in the general area.
-Bugle calls and officer commands changed. Officers give more structured commands: "Rally on the battalion!", "On the double quick, march!"
-Cannon sound effects changed.
- Background music changed to orchestral suites with Civil War melodies instead of the original band tunes. (It is also suggested to try this mod with the music off as well.)
I plan on updating this soon, by coding the new voices for the actual infantrymen a la Napoleon Total War (Yes, I know that feature was unique to NTW, but I have an idea.) I can also take suggestions.
Just my crack at the modding biz.
Enjoy, WAR monger

2.0 Changelog
NOTE: I'm still in the learning stages of managing pack files. As of now, the download file is quite large, since I'm basically giving you part of my ACW folder. Its about900MB500MB. I'm going to need you guys to bear with me on this version until I can provide you with smaller packs.
-Most (if not all) battle music has been silenced. I believe it contributes more to the feel of the game if battle sounds are only audible.
-Soldiers shout and curse among themselves while in combat. Adding more atmosphere. More officer commands added as well.
-The game is given consistency in terms of theme/mood, media and music. (New music for campaign and loading screens, along with battle results...)
-New loading screens (courtesy of husserlTW)
-New menu background screen
-More musket sounds have been changed, giving musket battles a more dense sound.
