    i have played the very early version of this mod and this is the only time i went back to see and try the mod and i find it very annoying that you post so many things and at the end the reader will have hard time to find where the heck is the download link and usually it is located in the middle of the post and written in small text blending with random things,and another thing is do i need to download the mod in parts? why not just one go? people like me who have slow internet only downloads at night when i am at sleep i download large size files and set my PC to shutdown after it has finished downloading and because of this 3 part thing it is just hindering people to download it quickly specially busy people (School or Job) anyway i kinda got bored into downloading it due to very frustrating instructions and all.

    When people dont have the time to read an install or download description, they should not download our mod. As we can see, most questions could be answered, when people would actually read what we are writing! So when you don't have the time to read, you should try smaller modifications!

    First complained people about the filesize, so we splitted it up. Now the same story in the other direction.

    Well, we are busy too, but we try to fulfill as many wishes as possible. Working on a single-file download as requested.

    Anyone can tell me about a cheap (for free) program to record my game? Fraps does not work (some directx9 error).

    Also I made some alteration to the sound files...musket and connon fire, and some bullet hit sounds, if anyone is interested, i added some orders like hold the line, and fire, etc to the musket fire sounds...in my opinion its awesome

    Well....and another bit of feedback:
    The way you dealt with Generals is fine by now...only the AI uses them as ordinary cavalry unit. That means they charge the 6 men general unit into my flank...and die. Is it not possible to access the database and replace the generals from empire with the acw generals? So they might actually have the general traits and appearance on the campaign map?
    Just wondering.

    All the best

    December 1862, the North counter-attacks in the East. What followed was the most amazing battle I've played. It was almost a re-enactment of Frederisksburg though it was only once into the battle I noted the resemblance.

    I had the hill, Irish brigade in the centre behind a stone wall, Jackson's Virginians on the fight, Longstreet on the centre / left, Artillery batteries on the wings. Roughly 4,800 Union troops vs 2,900 Confederates.
    Epic waves of union troops marched up the hill amidst artillery bursts. When in range, my boys stood and poured fire into them .. who returned in kind. An Irish Union regiment even went toe to toe with my own Irishmen!!! The 20th Maine and the Iron brigade were going at it… but the wall was the difference.

    Despite generally fielding poorer quality troops and after suffering heavy casualties, each attack was repulsed. Finally after almost an hour play, the Union Army of the Potomac withdrew or routed. The field littered with dead. The remnant of my army now well blooded veterans.

    Haha, nice AAR.
    My last battles was also very long. Artillery on both sides where destroyed. Cavalry shattered and routed.
    The last line on both sides where a few units infantry which had a shooting battle in the woods. After all ammunation was gone, they battle was decided with plugged bayonets.

    What the??? Hell i would love to see such a battle. Damn you are lucky....how long did you fight?
    When i play battles with Ultra units...I get crashes....I think its sound related too much firing and other sounds going on makes the game crash. But i play with 40 unit stacks...so it is quite epic

    Thats why this mod is designed for medium unit sizes, to avoid crashes, to offer the best AI and pathfinding options.
    With ultra units, you get a dump AI, missing realism, missing details and bad pathfinding behavior

    Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I have downlaoded the 3.3 version of the game but the only way I can play is by clicking on the icon it made on my desktop and then choosing CS or US on the loadout screen, there is no Warpath option even though I own the warpath campaign! Help?

    ofc...


    1. start the ACW Launcher
    2. go to Campaigns (on top of it)
    3. choose warpath
    4. you'll get note that warpath campaign is selected
    5. choose your faction (US or CS)
    6. when you click launcher will start the game...

    now, if you receive the warning: Vanilla or non-ACW files are present in the data go to the SETTINGS button in the launcher and choose check files. if any files appear press remove files button. then you repeat steps from 2 to 6.

    enjoy
