A. P. Hill Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 4 hours ago, Aetius said: Retreat direction is *still* wonky. At 1st Bull Run I had two Union brigades cross the stone bridge, rout, and then attempt to flee to the north between two of my brigades. The first tangled both of my brigades up into melee as it fled, but I was able to pop skirmishers, reset them, and wipe the Union unit out. The second Union brigade didn't even make it into melee. The only thing I can figure is that the algorithm gave a lot of weight to the Union units approaching from the northwest, miles away, and it was enough to cause them to rout-charge my troops. I just recently as well had union troops rout through my lines at Shiloh and ended up behind my advance. Messed everything up, I had to detach a couple brigades to corral these wayward S.O.Bs. Slowed my advance to a crawl by depleting my line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Routed unit runs by my Brigade. Had to reorient my unit to give fire and Union Cav pops out of the woods and routs my brigade. Very effective tactic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwerty99 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Just was logging on and saw this patch Thanks for the constant improvements and attention to the game.... However, will this mean I need to start a new campaign for the fixes to apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civsully1 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Nick, Regarding your post below with this latest update (thanks), can you tell those of us that purchased early access what the cost will be for the full release? Thanks in advance. Dear Generals, Thanks to your great help, we have already offered various small patches that improved and fixed several aspects of the game. The new update provides a few more improvements and prepares the ground for the end of Early Access and the final full release of Ultimate General: Civil War.

Hjalfnar_Feuerwolf Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Early Access means you buy the game BEFORE it is fully released. Therefore you provide the developers with not only money, but also with bugfixing data (at least if you encounter any, I haven't save for phantom ccv and this one is already known). And on top of that you won't have to pay anything for the full release, while you most likely paid less for the Early Access AND already played a lot. xD I think this game is the embodiment of the benefits of Early Access: A very well playable beta, constant and fast updates/hotfixes and an imminent guaranteed full release. Excellent planning and work on the devs side! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross42899 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Nice new update. The game is looking better and better but I'm still hoping for a few small things to be added/changed before release: - Please change color of lines showing firing range! [or give us an option to select prefered color ]. Those lines are so hard to see at times right now. - add more historical accurate portraits of historical Generals - give us an option to change portrait of "our" General we create at the beginning of the game - let us zoom in a little bit closer to the battle - replace current Dunker Church (Antietam map) & Lutheran Seminary building (Gettysburg map) with more accurate buildings. - add non campaign versions [as historical or custom battles] of the "Battle of Washington", "Battle of Richmond", "Batlle of Wilderness" and "Battle of Spotsylvania" Edited July 9, 2017 by ross42899 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vren55 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Also, finally finished the CSA campaign. WIth the new Intelligence Report system scaling, i've found the campaign far more manageable, and yet fairly challenging and distinct from the Union campaign. Washington was amazingly tense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vren55 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Speaking of Washington though, and this is really more for fun... goddamn the casualty count. To think if Lee had managed an assault on Washington and Grant retaliated... because this is what I got: I lost 60K men... the Union lost 109k men. Jesus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hi guys Here are a list of things that some of us in the steam forum wish to hear some developer feedback on. Whether it is a known issue, or you are working on it, or whether it is just plain Working As Intended. I really hope you guys don't push release without first taking a look and at least giving us feedback on this list.http://steamcommunity.com/app/502520/discussions/0/1456202492181064612/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Vren was wondering if you plan to update your guide to current patch status. It was a nice help for me in the early going and I thought you did a nice job with it!

Fred Sanford Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I would like to see the Whitworths get buffed to reflect increased accuracy (say same as 10# ordnance - 33) and greatly increased rate of fire (say 40 or 50). They might be worth buying in that case. 20# Parrotts still need help also. I would also like a control to decrease the number of troops/guns in a unit so that you can re-equip a unit when you don't have quite enough of the new weapons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked about that when Washington first came out, and if I recall, "probably" was the answer. I REALLY hope they do! Washington is so awesome! And I don't play the Union very much, so it would be so cool to be able to play The Battle of Richmond without slogging through the whole campaign.

jamieva Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Stop canceling all movements/orders when a scenario moves along. For example at Antietam. When you introduce Burnside's bridge, all of my units that are moving/charing/etc all stop. Why?! No time passed. Now i have an infantry unit getting shredded by artillery because they were stopped mid charge, and the charge icon has to reload. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
