<t> When units get depleted I move them into the forts and use those garrison troops in their sted. They are inexperienced, but soon gain the experience. You will notice that Richmond has almost 18,000 men in garrison. Other major cities with forts have 9,000. <br/>
<br/>
Otherwise, you can move ...

Plays well and I like the WTF changes.

I like the WTF adjustments based on reinforcements. It has made the game more realistic for me.

Since checking the "not an April Fools Joke" thread, I've been checking every day for this new patch. What is the current scuttlebut for a release??

I just have one more question, what does ACWPlayers Base Moral effect?? Which way do the numbers go?

<r> I always wonder how long slavery would have lasted if the war had not been fought. Before the outbreak of hostilities, Lincoln was promising the South slavery would be left alone if they remained with the Union. <br/>
<br/>
Was the Confederacy wrong??? Slavery is wrong, North or South, Union ...

<t> A paraphrased quote from Sherman...and one of the maxims on FOF.... if the Confedracy would have won, the continent's fate would be that of Mexico, eternal war. Lincoln first and foremost fought to preserve the Union. Look at some of his speeches at the time, and the constant termoil in Europe ...

<t> Well, if you asked the Yankee soldiers from the Union Slave states of Kentucky, Maryland, or Missouri if they were fighting fighting to free slaves, what do you think they would say???<br/>
<br/>
Many people forget that in fact slavery was still going on, albeit not as much, in the Union ...

<t> I'd like to make the detailed combat more even. I can't seem to do it very well. I've tried adjusting the ACWPlayers base moral to CSA 1 and USA 9, but this doesn't help much. Can someone tell me how the bottom 3 work, and which way to move the numbers? <br/>

It is hard sometimes to see if you have entrenched correctly or not. To handle this, when it is a cavalry or other unit's turn that is far enough away from the area that there are no blue lines, go back to see the terrain.

I would like to mod the National Will values taken from cities being captured. How do I go about doing this????

How to mod National Will as well????

I usually play the South, and I'd like to make it so the North and South are close morale- wise in battles. I'd prefer them fight until I beat them up a little more. I'd also like to mod the North not loosing as many points when a city is taken or battle lost.

Forge of Freedom: The American Civil War 1861-1865: fb.asp?m=1799082

<t> Is there any way to change sides midway through the game??? I'm good with manipulating minor files. <br/>
<br/>
I'd love to get out of some of the fixes I put the North into. For instance, when I start winning big as the South, the North still has maybe 100,000-150,000 men in garrison. I'd ...

Any word on the expansion or potential expansion discussed many moons ago??

You remember, specific battles (Gettysburg, Vicksbug), abillity to start 1863, 1864???

I'm jonesin

<r> I was just playing a game in which I was the North fighting a defensive battle in Chattanooga, South was attacking. As is my standard procedure when being attacked, I dig in and wait. An even match, my division 15,000 to the South's 16,000. I found a sweet spot between 2 mountains, leaving no ...

When I posted this origionally it was the earlier version.

Pull some of your Garrison Troops out of the forts and into the Army. You have about 20,000 in Troops there. Keep 1 brigade in the 2 forts around Washington and 1 in Washington.

<t> 1. To give a challange to those of us "Virtuous Southerners" that like to play as the Confederacy, and what many have suggested, is a post Gettysburg/Vicksburg scenrio. To play the North at this point might not be challangeing but oh well. <br/>
<br/>
2. For those "Damn Yankees" who want a ...
