Hi pandakraut. I'm new to the game and am a little confused by the mod updates. I've tried playing both versions at Colonel, but 1.26 seems to be more difficult as compared to 1.26.1. Update 1.26 limited unit size to 2500. 1.26.1 appears to have much larger unit size (5000, maybe 6000?) and the range of the guns is longer for rifles in 1.26.1 versus 1.26. In addition, I'm getting Harpers Ferry at the start with 1.26.1, but with 1.26 I didn't see HF until late 1862 or early 1863. I know Something Compass plays version 1.8, how does one get that version as I can't seem to find it and what are the differences between 1.8, 1.26 and 1.26.1 (in general)? Or maybe I didn't load 1.26 properly, not sure what is going on. The big thing is the difference between 1.8 and the rest of the updates that are on youtube. In 1.8 they don't get very many recruits, but in my play I get tons to recruits. I would like to tone that down as I can't use them,, I usually lack money and weapons. I appreciate your dedication to maintaining this game.
