A word from MM:
as of now (18th August, 2012) this is going to be a final version of this add-on for some time. Reason is thatI am leaving for college and I will have no time to continue this. That is why I tried to do as much as possible as fast as possible. Sorry for many uploads and re-uploads but now I can say I have a product I find satisfactory. I hope yo will see it as such also.
| Some add-on guidelines |
Some of the most important features are:
1) Larger&Distant Deployment Zones
This mod (by Baron Von Beer) challenges the player to creatively use his army. distant deployment zones nullify the common artillery duel from the start of the battle. now, player and AI will have to manoeuvre their guns in best position to rain death on the enemy. in this setting individual characteristics of various artillery pieces come forward. For example: 3-inch Ordnance Rifle has the longest range f all weapons (except Withworth) and can therefore easily dispatch other artillery weapons even before they come in range.
This setting also encourages the player to creatively exploit the battle map. search for "sunken roads" small inclines, cliffs and other natural cover that battle-map presents you to deal maximum damage with minimum losses. ACW indeed was a conflict of large armies and both small and large scale manoeuvres. Recreate some of the most daring manoeuvres of the War, like R.E. Lee's famous split of forces at Chancellorsville or changing position in the face of the enemy at Wilderness.
2) Regional Recruitment
Speaks for itself pretty much. Play and discover. However, most of the volunteer units are now recruited in farms (corn and sheep) so you will have to guard them from enemies raids or you will loose your ability to recruit them. This encourages the player to carefully guard his own frontier regions while attempting to raid border towns of his enemy to hamper its recruitment capability.
