Hardcase726 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited April 3, 2017 by Hardcase726 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Texas Sir Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 It would be nice if you can get a few more special brigades like the "Iron Brigade." and the one cav unit you can get. Maybe them historic leaders/units of that battle you can get and keep. I normally have my own theme for each unit and corps, but would be nice if we got special ones to fill the rank every other major battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little bit of immersion added and it could be easily done - I am sure some of the playerbase would pitch in if Dartis lacks the time to engage in that.

I would pay/donate if they could give us the Division Commander as a leader unit instead of being attached to a random brigade(example: John B. Hood was killed and the only unit who was taking hits was the 5th Brigade) and the Newsletter, give me a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. P. Hill Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 You already manage Corps Commanders. He's talking Division and Brigade commanders. Yes, I know semantics. And I am sure you knew this. Your not wanting it doesn't negate those who do. But then those who do probably tend to play more realistically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More realistically or not, it's going to be impossible to manage 20 miniature versions of Corps Commanders (the Division commanders) in addition to the Corps Commanders. I don't want to think of the mess that attacking Antietam as the Union would fall into. Hell, half the time I already forget about a Corps Commander sometimes, and they're left behind as the battle moves on. It's not about realism or me not liking more realism, it's about practicality. With the current system, it just wouldn't be enjoyable or fun, at that point. Unless other functionality to aid the micromanagement were added (like how British officers in CoH1 could Follow a squad), I don't want this.

Fred Sanford Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'd like a Rep bonus for inflicting casualties- say 1 Rep for every 500 casualties. It would provide incentive to go after the AI army along with the geographical objectives. For Division commanders, instead of having them as individual units, how about assigning them to brigades? Have an modified icon that shows a flag or star or something similar. I'd like to be able to have individualized icons also- like the Corps symbols the Union used (diamonds, clubs, etc in red, white or blue) or State outlines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sykes Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) I agree, I would LOVE to see more historical generals available for purchase or with reputation points. The newsletter idea is actually pretty awesome, never thought of that -- could even read Harpers Weekly... Edited April 3, 2017 by Sykes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Soldier Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) @Hardcase726 A lot of the officers you listed, we can get. Cleburne, Sickles, Butler, Pope, Thomas and Rosecranz are all generals I think I've gotten at some point, either as a buyable from the Government or from the Academy.

Good suggestions for an old fish-eyed fool. How are Lamont and Aunt Esther these days? Color Coded Corps Symbols for Corps/division assignments I've been working for since day 1.

Yep a bit like for naval games where a specific symbol shows the ship where the Task Force leader is. It would basically be a Brigade with a slightly different flag that would have say 5 morale bonus or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vren55 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Would love the newsletter idea. Wouldn't be too difficult... you'd just need some kind of blank space to replace the casualties and losses figures... as well as equipment gained, enemy generals killed... maybe something praising the brigade/division that got the most kills.

AJ McCully Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 You actually want Butler? Grant and Lincoln sure didnt. I'd add Sherman (as a reward for Victory at Shiloh, possibly), Meade (for Gettysburg) and Sheridan (ideally from Cedar Creek, Trevilian Station or Third Winchester if they're ever added).
