  1. Not to be the guy who seems to only focus on officers in the game. But is there a way to change the names of the historic officers that appear for purchase in the barracks? For instance William Brewster in the Union campaign.
     

    I also got the AI officer heintzelman after Bull Run. Not the one from the barracks but a wounded Heintzleman. I believe he is a “division commander” for the AI in Bull Run. I know you fixed this issue for the most part and I haven’t received any other AI wounded in the other battles. I have had AI Division commanders get wounded in other battles, but they didn’t appear in my barracks, just that one time in 1.27a. Just passing along the discovery.

    Re-enabling that is not something that is currently configurable. This bug was potentially providing a huge cash influx from the officers that could be gained from it, so it's not something that should probably be in the game. However, in the future we can try and see if it's possible to ensure that more of those historical officers show up in the barracks or as rep buys, though I'm unsure possible that is(mostly if we can get the historical portraits).

    For example a change we have previously considered is moving any rep buy officers into the barracks if they are not bought.

    I appreciate the response. It would be very cool if down the line new officers could be added to the game. For now I will get by with using the names I added. Just started playing the newest version and its been challenging so far, great work.

  3. I haven’t tried the latest version of the mod yet. However I have been experimenting on BG to try to get colonels to rank up faster and I’ve now had more success than in the vanilla game. I have 22! LGs as the Union right before Cold Harbor. I’ve never had more than 4 in the vanilla game even playing on colonel. By putting colonels in weak units until they  reach BG. Then placing them in charge of a corps (usually the less important corps in early battles) until they reach MG then back into divisions. I made sure to move them around so they participated in every battle and it seems to have paid off rather well. 
     

    On a side note one of my favorite things about vanilla play was getting A.I. officers in my barracks and learning about them. This mod seems to have significantly increased the amount of wounded, historically accurate officers that appear. Looking forward to playing the latest update.
