Are you using a float calculator? It should convert those values into the ones used in game. You appear to be correct that several of the perks in the base game are missing values listed in the tooltip. This is not something that is fixable by modders as far as I know. Would have to report the discrepancies as a bug and hope they decide to patch it. This seems similar to the logistics perk not working properly that was fixed in a somewhat recent patch. Edit: to clarify incorrect values can be fixed. If the perk bonus is missing entirely then that has to be fixed by the devs.

If you're looking at the Rebalance mod assets several of the weapon have been renamed and are on different base types. Current list for 1.23a available here http://forum.game-labs.net/topic/25749-j-p-rebalance-mod-by-jonnyh13-and-pandakraut-83118/?page=13&tab=comments#comment-559655 Thanks for the insight into the fire rate. I'll update the note in the main post.

Odd, I thought I got the full 18 the last time around, will take a look. There are several issues with the deployment numbers though usually they lean towards giving you more units rather than less. I'm using some frankly terrible workarounds to increase all limits by a set amount rather than having to update the hundreds of deployment values individually.

Weapon value changes should show up in the tooltip. Are you sure you have the right hex block? The one you want starts at offset 021249E0. Both EffectiveRange and EffectiveRangeHint need to have the same value. Only EffectiveRangeHint is displayed in the base game tooltip.

That is the expected path. You should be able to extract the zip file to the data path and everything should end up in the right place. Glad you were able to resolve the issue.

You also need to have a Ultimate General Civil War_Data/Mod folder that contains several config files. Is that also there? Are you using a GoG copy or are you on a Mac?

Are you only replacing the dll? There are several config files that need to be in the right place for the mod to load.

I'm pretty sure you're just running the base game. The game doesn't enforce division limits outside of preventing you from assigning units there. So if you load a save with more divisions they will still be present even if you are running the base game. The easiest way to tell what you are running is checking the weapon tooltips. If you see accuracy high and low the mod dll is being used. If carbines are all range 300 the mod assets file is being used.

My best guess is that something is still screwed up with the end of day logic for you. There was an older bug where battles that went very late would tick over to 00:00:00 and end immediately. Salem Church was one of those I believe. I'm not sure how you are running 1.23 and still hitting it though. Hope the reinstall works out.

None of them fail for me. The only suggestion I have to try and resolve would be reinstalling the game and then reapplying the mod. Alternately, as long as the issue doesn't keep happening in other battles, you can try these saves. Camp post day 1, day 2 post hints, day 2 a few minutes later(hopefully you don't have to use this one but included in case the others don't work). CampaignBattle.zip

I just tried both saves with the 1.23a dlls and couldn't recreate. Also tried restarting the entire battle from one of the saves and again didn't get the bug. Did not get the endOfDay bug with Salem Church with your saves or an old save of my own. It's not entirely clear to me from your other comments if you've tried restarting the entire battle yet. That is normally the best chance to resolve issues like this. If you've already tried that I'm not sure what else to attempt. I'm going to check with Jonny and see if the bug happens for him.

I can't promise anything, but I'll see if I can take an initial look this weekend.

Unfortunately there seem to be enough differences between the steam and GoG dlls/install that the mod is not compatible with GoG. I have not had a chance yet to buy a GoG version and make the changes there.

Did you have the accuracy perk for the unit or the commanding general? Which weapon was that unit equipped with? The early battles can definitely feel a bit slow though. The combination of low skill allied troops and muskets means I spend a lot of time on x2 or x8 speed. The base level of damage should probably go up a bit. If things continue to feel to slow you may want to try increasing the gameSpeed in the _Data/Mod/Rebalance/ConfigFile.csv by 1 or 2. Thanks for the feedback and hope you continue to enjoy the mod.

Thanks for the feedback, glad you're enjoying the mod. I only start putting points in politics when everything else useful is maxed, so even if it's still really good the other options can work as well. I play with very small units though which influences things a lot. Collateral damage is the radius around the center of the unit that nearby units will take a small amount of damage in. Artillery is still probably to strong despite having something like half the damage it did at one point in the mod. In terms of the differences between cannon you'll want to take a look at this post http://forum.game-labs.net/topic/26142-hidden-mechanics-and-weapon-damage-degradation/. The spreadsheets there are for the base game ranges, but it should illustrate the differences. Not that the cannon damages all make sense currently, they are a compromise while we rework all weapon damage for a for a future release. We've both been pretty busy recently so it's going slowly though. This sounds like really bad luck. The officer wound/death rates are currently unchanged from the base game. The last time I went through Shiloh I think I had one officer killed though several were wounded.

I've never encountered an issue with that battle. If you come across it again please let me know. If you can get an in battle save that consistently fails even better.

I can't say for sure but there seems to be some kind of stickiness mechanic when unit sprites are in contact. It seems to be more of a problem against artillery since sometimes all the sprites stack up on a single gun and once that happens player input basically gets ignored. I've tried routing my own units to get them free but that doesn't seem to work either. I've tried messing around with various variables that seem like they are related but have not been able to make any improvement to the current system. Because of this hit and run tactics with cavalry can be extremely risky.

You only got 5 brigades at Malvern Hill? That doesn't sound right I thought it was 8? I think you can fall back and let them capture the first VP to trigger the reinforcements and later phases earlier. It can be hard to push back to recover it though as that terrain is very open.

Should be safe to capture them. In testing I was able to get all the way through to camp with them captured.

Have a new fix for the artillery capture bug. Will get Jonny to post it tomorrow.

It sounds like you are forcing up scaling based on your army composition. Do you have a bunch of large skirmisher units leftover from Shiloh?

Thanks for the report, I"ll look into it.

That'd be interesting to see in action. I've never been successful with trying to fit in snipers in the initial deployment. The cover options aren't great and I find that I need at least 6 infantry brigade with the rest being Artillery to try and deter charges on Legendary. I usually try to bring the snipers in once the map opens up a bit, but artillery still does most of the work for me.

Using Malvern Hill as an example, even if you don't really bother with a 2nd corps it's always worth putting at least one unit in it. Free xp for the general, extra supply wagon, and generals apply their morale regen bonus to units in other corps at half the normal rate. Past that I agree, at least in the mod no real need for a 2nd corps at Malvern. Front load the first corps and annihilate the csa before the 2nd corps would even arrive. I usually just dump my cavalry into the 2nd corps for the cleanup.

Correct. I basically don't build out a third corps until the very end game. I'll create it to allow unit swapping, but it'll only get rookie units added for the few battles it's actually needed.
