ACW 3.4 questions

[FriendoftheDork]

Hello, I've had a break from this mod and came back. I have some questions regarding the normal campaign (not warpath).

I noticed on start with the South that everything is undeveloped - even their farms and plantations. Is this intentional, and why?

Secondly, they started with an obscene amount of cash, and with a huge income - it seems very easy for me to build everything I want. Since there is no technology that also means I can get to the best buildings very fast - like Whitworth gun in 1861.

The AI has no armies either, so that makes it fairly easy to go grab territory early on. Or trade with them, since we start at peace. The war did break out before the fort sumter incident though, but that may be hard to control.

My most annoying issue so far is that the artillery units don't have anything except their default shot - no grape, shrapnel or cannister shot. Also, the troops can't mount bayonets. Is this a bug?

Those are all 3.4 issues that have been addressed in 3.5 beta and are getting even more addressed for the 3.5 full release.

Currently I can only recommend you install 3.5 beta and see the difference yourself.

I don't have Warpath, so not an option.

And spending $10 not an option either so that you could enjoy a better developed game?

I usually buy games cheaper than that. Maybe I'll get it next time it comes on sale.

As for the other questions, I watched a 3.5 vidoe and many of my issues were definitively not addressed - land is still completely undeveloped. As far as I could see units either had no bayos or had them mounted already (with no icon for fixing them). Didn't see anything about the various types of shot though.
