I always wonder why only James Archer is the only Gen. that you can recruit from the government at the beginning of the game, I mean he only has one known reputation as being taken as a prisoner of war on the first morning of the Battle of Gettysburg, Archer was the first general officer captured from Gen. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. So it be kinda nice if they can add more to the government, what are your thoughts? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_J._Archer

Can't get enough out of this game... 362hrs

Anyone having duplicate generals? 2 A.P. Hills or 2 John Gibbons

What're your thoughts on the 6-pound field gun for a cavalry Corps?

Starting a Cavalry Corps nothing but cav, 6pdr artillery, and a few units of sharpshooters and I can't decide whether I should have more Melee cav with the Palmetto equipment or skirmisher cav with the Burnside/Spencer rifles or should I mix it up? Let me know your thoughts.

Who do you prefer? Detached skirmishers for extra flanking, defending, distracting, backup charge, cannon fodder, and scouting... (250 men) or Sharpshooters for long range damage, scouting, (500 men) whats your opinion?

Have anyone else seen the A.I. have 1863 Springfield's while it's still 1861? (Hard Difficultly/Legendary)

Anyone wish that Fort Sumter would be a playable battle? Let me know what you think.

Let me know what you think about deploying whole Corps in a battle.

What would be the perfect Army set up for one Corps for either side? would love to see examples and opinions.

Who would like to see a Create your own custom battle in UGCW? Creating cover on generated maps (A.K.A. Map Editor) And an unlimited amount of weapons and troops. Your thoughts?

Would like to have these men and units in the game for recruitment or rewards for completing a battle. CSA: officers: James Kemper William T. "Bloody Bill" Anderson John Singleton Mosby "The Gray Ghost" Joseph Johnston Edmund Kirby Smith Edward Porter Alexander Barnard Bee Patrick Cleburne Benjamin Terry Wade Hampton William Quantrill Units: The Alabama Brigade Louisiana Tigers Orphan Brigade Shelby's Iron Brigade‎ Stonewall Brigade Texas Brigade Laurel Brigade Terry's Texas Rangers Hampton's Legion Quantrill's Raiders ____________________________________________________________ Union: Officers: Robert Anderson Nathaniel Banks George Custer Abner Doubleday Arthur Macarthur Daniel Sickles Benjamin Butler George Thomas John Pope Oliver Howard William Starke Rosecrans Adelbert Ames Daniel Butterfield Units: Irish Brigade Lightning Brigade Vermont Brigade‎ Philadelphia Brigade‎ Michigan Brigade‎ Excelsior Brigade‎ Gibraltar Brigade‎ The Lightning Mule Brigade U.S. Horse Artillery Brigade Spinola brigade Mississippi Marine Brigade ____________________________________________________________ Wants: Would like to see a Civil War Newsletter for every battle pop up for realism Need to show the Division Commander as a Corps General unit so that i can keep him alive or know what brigade he's with. Division Commander's should have combat bonuses as well. Brigade cap at 2600. Custom battles within the campaign as a what if scenario. Defensive custom battles for CSA and Offensive for Union. Would like to see naval battles. Detach brigades into five regiments if in a tight spot or able to deploy skirmishers (x3). Able to dispatch all five Corps if available. Unit detail. Able to nickname Divisions. Artillery and Sharpshooters need more damage.
