Could you save all the modified files as a group and zip it up so we could download it and make the same modifications as you did?
 
Thanks,

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: General Quarters<br/> There is a terrific (though expensive) book, Civil War High Commands, published by Stanford Univ Press, that has chapters called "Grades and Ranks" for both of the armies. The generals are listed alphabetically and also in order of seniority i...

Does anyone have a list of what ranks and positions the generals in this game held in 1860?&nbsp; It would be interesting to see who was in the army, and just a major, or captain, and who was a civilian.

<t> Why not tie the basic game "camp" value to a&nbsp;factor&nbsp;of victory points?&nbsp;&nbsp; I would make it something like 500 troops for every victory point plus say 2K for each point of national will.&nbsp; So at the beginning of the game, you would be getting 500 troops e...

<t> This would only be necessary at the very beginning of the game, when a lot of units have "improvised" weaponry.&nbsp;&nbsp; I might want to downgrade several units that have springfields, give them minies, and try to get everyone on the roster up to at least muskets.&nbsp; <br/> &...

<t> Would it be possible to have a strictly naval scenerio?&nbsp;&nbsp; I know there wasn't much of a southern navy, but it would be cool to have to pick the appropriate admiral (could we just add in another general, who is an admiral, and assign him to a ship?) and then do some sort of deta...

<t> Why not increase the max size of units according to who is in command?&nbsp;&nbsp; Say you have an army without a general, it can hold 140K troops, right?&nbsp; Well suppose you add on a brigadier, that mulitplies that by 1.25, if you put a major general in charge, then that does tim...

I would also like to put in my vote for both "Historical" and "Balanced" starting points.&nbsp;&nbsp; It seems that the players are pretty much split 50-50 on that point, so why not do both?&nbsp;&nbsp; I'm sure it's not that hard to set up.

<t> Well, as was discussed in the "Generals" thread, in 1860, the Union Army was only 16,000 men total, they were mostly out west fighting indians.&nbsp; There were only *4* generals for the entire army, one was pushing 75 and was in bad health, one was&nbsp;the chief army&nbsp;doctor, a...

That was it exactly.
Upon further examination, it appears the original sort order was by Chance, then by Number, then by Nation.
Works perfectly now.
&nbsp;
Thanks!

<t> 1. When you have a big list on the military screen, and you have scrolled down to the bottom of the list, and you turn several sort buttons at the bottom off, you are left with a blank screen and the scroll bar at the right is messed up. You can fiddle around with the up/down arrows and it comes...

<t> I would like to be able to downgrade weapons from certain units and have that quantity of guns added back into my total.&nbsp; That way I could shortchange a "bad" unit in order to upgrade a "good" unit.<br/> Maybe downgrading weapons could come at a small price in lowering a units dispositi...

<r> Anyone remember this game, from about 1995?<br/> Man I thought it was the best game ever, but it always crashed halfway throught the campaign. <br/> No patches ever came out for it, so I eventually abandoned it.<br/> But it is obvious someone at Matrix liked it also.<br/> Several features from t...

<t> I've been trying to mess around with this file a bit. I wanted to make all the Union Generals start out at one star, as I always play the Union.<br/> Somehow, whatever I did, erased all the generals from any new game I start. All old saved games still have their generals.<br/> Luckily I saved a ...

Well if you have the data table, you certainly could post it here and everyone would devour it with a vengence and spit out the right info.

<t> Does the AI even promote generals?&nbsp;&nbsp; Is this why they have to be assigned a starting rank?&nbsp; <br/> &nbsp;<br/> I'd still like to know why fat old Winfield Scott isn't in there, he certainly was the only guy deserving of three or four stars at the beginning of the wa...
