<t> I think I've played enough at this point to be able to say that one of my biggest problems is with casualty discrepancies in battle. Even if you "barely" lose a battle, it seems as though there is an enormous difference between victor and loser casulaties in the battle. Several times in the ACW ...

I would simply do a spring 1862, spring 1863, and spring 1864 start.
&nbsp;
I can provide deployments and strengths if needed.

That worked - thanks a million.

<r> I am unable to access the ftp site where the patch is located.&nbsp; Could someone possibly mail it to me?&nbsp; Is it too big to e-mail?&nbsp; thanks in advance.<br/>

Not that I'm a TOTAL dummy, but can someone tell me where to DL the patch?&nbsp; Thanks!

Try those driver updates for soundblaster.&nbsp; I think that's the culprit (of course I say this and I will crash next time out).
&nbsp;

Great - thanks so much for the tip.

I SEEM to be okay now. I'll inform if there is another crash, and start developing those "novideo"/"noaudio" directories.
&nbsp;
Thanks again to everyone for the support/help/advice.

<t> Can you "undo" your moves? Specifically, I accidentally ordered two academies for one city. Obviously I only wanted one, and I could not find out a way to undo my mistake. If there is not a way, I would suggest adding one (perhaps click on the building to be constructed, with an order to ...

I had this&nbsp;crash again this morning.&nbsp; Updating the audio drivers now.

OK - my sound is the same as yours - maybe it's got something to do with that then.&nbsp; Let me know what you come up with - thanks for writing back.

<t> I'm a big fan of the old board game "War Between the States" - Decision Games (formerly SPI).&nbsp; They have something very similar to some of the ideas laid out here.&nbsp; The north can only emancipate when they are "ahead" in the game (each side gets political points).&nbsp; They are then ...

DUSTOFF - What is your video card?&nbsp; NVIDIA GeForce 6800 here.&nbsp; Maybe if the two of us have this device in common, we can better diagnose the problem.

Haven't had time to fiddle with mine yet - will let all know on the results.

I'll give that a shot - thanks for the tip...

There's an idea.&nbsp; The windows related crash said it was driver related...

Can anyone tell me how to disable the opening video as jchastain explained?

Eric,

Mine's a top of the line Dell XPS graphic/gaming rig.&nbsp; I'm technologically-dense (64 bit)?

<t> About half of the time now, the game is crashing for me at the start-up screen. It goes through the introduction, then hangs up. The guy comes on te screen to tell me that Kentucky has joined one side or the other, then it hangs up. What's more frightening, is that it crashed windows today. <br ...

<t> I agree with that with respect to foreign intervention - I think we can all certainly agree the chances would have been much greater.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's that the erosion of support for Davis et al would have quite possibly toppled the CSA government.&nbsp; Several states - particularly the fire ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>However there is a problem with making Euro intervention impossible if the USA emancipates. Everyone will do it to start. I think that maybe for the Union to do it without MAJOR repercussions you should have to be required to have a certain national will. Had Lincoln done ...
