This thread pre-dates the final patch and since Xerkis' biography of his ancestor BGen Nagle is included in the final version of Forge of Freedom, it's probably a safe bet that this has gone as far as it's likely to go.

The files themselves can be found in ...\Forge of Freedom\Data\Commanders.txt or ...\Forge of Freedom\Data\Commanders (no file extension but it opens with M$ EXCEL or Open Office CALC). I believe that the latter file is the one read by the game and that any changes made in the Commanders.txt file will not show up but that's a WAG.

Good Luck.

So there aren't really any updated bios then?

Sorry, I somehow missed this thread earlier.

I consider the bios project to be on hiatus, not over. Right now, when I do work on a WCS project it is BAB, for which I have a bunch of things I must do, such as finishing the manual and scenarios. But BAB is, of course, a Civil War game, and I am copying all pertinent bios. And then, as time permits, over time I'll edit the ones that Battleline, jkBluesman, and others wrote that never made it into FOF. And, as there are future BAB releases there will be more bios. So for now, no one is doing anything with these, but I absolutely intend to.
