Welcome to our announcement of
North&South II - Civil war Campaigns!
Here I want to give to you a short overview of our current project, explain the concept, base ideas, the team and more.
N&S: CWC will be the successor of our latest project
North&South for Napoleon: Total War and it will also take place during the American Civil War, which devastated the country from 1861-1865. Several southern states seceded from the old Union to establish the Confederated States of America. Besides the best known reason, the slavery and the states rights there were some others, like the completely different societies in the north and in the south and different economy systems.
Because of technical restrictions of Napoleon: Total war, we never were able to display the full range of this conflict and had to concentrate ourselves on the numerous battles of the war, like Gettysburg, Antietam, Shiloh and more.
But this time we can.
North&South II will have a unique campaign map!
We will utilize the new technical possibilities of CA's Assembly Kit, which allow us to create a new campaign map for
Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai.
Expect the eastern and western theatre of the war, divided by the Appalachian mountains, connected by vital railroads running through thick woods. March from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great lakes or use Steamers on the Mississippi or Ohio River to move your forces quickly.
Fight your way through Virginia towards Richmond or fight off union forces at the Rappahannock River and others.
Core concepts
Factions and Map
2 playable factions - The Union and the Confederacy
4 European factions with unique strengths and weaknesses who might join the war
Great Britain [powerful navy,]
France [good allrounder]
Spain [quantity but not so much quality]
Prussia [modern artillery and disciplined infantry, poor navy]
States will be subdivided into 3-4 "counties"
Area of recruitment system - recruit Maine, New York, Virginia and Alabama regiments with a unique look (if there were one)
Mississippi River will be usable by ships
Technologies and Laws - free the slaves or stick with the tradition. Develop new war technologies like Gatling Guns and trench warfare
Artillery
Artillery will receive new shot types - canister shot, solid shot, shrapnel shot, ranges adopted to the type of the artillery piece smooth-bore or rifled.
Units and Models
Units will become completely new models! No lame reusing of Shogun stuff. Expect models in the highest possible quality (All images are alpha footage). Infantry units will carry proper State and Regimental flags into battle. Cavalry and Artillery carry Guideons.
Confederate units will receive different uniforms, depending on the state they were recruited. This should resemble the depot supply system, were different depots produced different quality.
