American Civil War: Map Mods and HQ Ratings
Posted: Wed Jun 22, 2022 8:07 am
Strategic Command: American Civil War comes with an optional setting to display HQs names and ratings on the screen!

This can be important as elite HQs provide an extra special bonus, thus being able to easily see who is who at a glance is all the more important.
As a top general, Stonewall Jackson is definitely important, therefore his name displays in yellow and with an orange outline:

Everyone has their own preferences, so Strategic Command: American Civil War comes with a choice of 3-D and NATO counters, plus in-built official mods enabling you to very easily change the look of the map.
You'll be able to choose between different displays of the Confederate flag, two brand new map styles and the "classic" style used in our other games.

Alternate Flag Files replace the Confederate battle flag with the labelled alternative in all cases except the banner-style flags in historical event Pop Ups.


Alternate Map Sets change the colour of the map to a different shade of the default tan, or the green from the previous SC3 games:

The Fog of War Mod darkens the fog of war effect to more clearly show which hexes are currently within spotting range:

To use these mods just go to Settings → Mods and select the one(s) you want to use. It’s that simple!
Undoubtedly, our great modding community will soon be adding more to this list.
Strategic Command: American Civil War is being released on Thursday 30th June, at which point you’ll be able to lay your hands on these features and many more!
