P-Dup

As I said in another, similar thread, I think it's a great idea to add individual banners for individual units. I really hope the devs see these suggestions and their popularity in the community.

I generally like the idea of individual banners and uniforms for individual units very much.

I second OP, +1

I think it's a pain in the ass, that you are not allowed to make brigades smaller to free up recruits or weapons for the armory. I guess it's a design decision, because you would have to implement an experience system for the free recruits. But right now I'm sometimes forced to reload an entire savegame, when I make a bad decision in the army management screen, erasing all other changes I made until then, which can be quite frustrating, when managing bigger armies. My suggestions: Just make all recruits, that are freed up by downsizing brigades, lose their experience. It's a bit harsh and you would like to keep those situations to a minimum, at least when managing experienced brigades, but at least you could toy around with the numbers of new brigades, that you may or may not want to raise. Or give it a global "Apply" button, making you able to queue up multiple changes in brigades at once, again making you able to toy around with the numbers a bit. I'm surely a bit on the OCD-side of live, wanting to have evenly distributed even numbers of soldiers in my brigades, but for me the system currently in place is suboptimal and I cannot be the only one feeling like this.

After losing 1st Bull Run as the Union (as it is supposed to happen, at least historically) I won at River Crossing and instead of going to see after my boys in the camp I was greeted with dismissal. Is this WAD? Also, generally, the game seems to be pretty hard, doesn't it? (yes, I read the guide for new players, and yes I am an UG:G veteran)

I don't know if this is historically appropriate, but from a gamer's perspective I think there should be a "Reverse" command to move a brigade backwards to a given point in an orderly fashion while still facing the enemy. Right now, there's only "Fallback", in which case you don't really control the direction of the fallback, and a normal "March" or "Run" command, where your troops turn their backs to the enemy, when marching back towards your own lines, getting a "Flanked" or "Rear Flanked" malus. Just give it a command like "Shift+RClick" or something like this.

It happened in a game I started completely new with the newest patch.

Yes, it happened after loading a savegame.

Hello all, in my opinion the new patch is really awesome! AI performs much better and the game has become a lot more challenging: I just lost my first battle after 160+ hours of playing! (playing the Union against a Cunning AI). Overall it's a lot more chaotic, which I think is really great. The patch made me play the game again after I already had abandoned it. But there are still a few bugs: Sometimes units charge without being ordered to do so and in one scenario (Conflict at Benner's Hill), some of the smaller 3-star units just did not engage anyone directly, even when standing vis-a-vis an enemy unit with a clear LOS, but they also were not targeted by the enemy. It was just as if they were not on the battlefield. When I ordered them to attack, they just marched towards and finally through the targeted unit without engaging or being engaged (not even in melee). I really hope those issues will be fixed even though the last major update has been anounced. Please.

You can see what a unit is targeting by the red color indicator at the targeted unit's feet.

Don't know if this was posted before. but I think the symbole for telling different kinds off units apart (inf, arty, cav) in the unit's marker is too small to be easily recognized (at least for me), especally in dense situation, where you have to react quckly..

David, they could just give the targeted unit a marker and use a targeting/LOS visualization system like you proposed in the 'Artillery Line of Sight' thread. (http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/1174-artillery-line-of-sight/?p=25031)
