I hope they make the U.S.A. bigger, and move it further south, where it is supposed to be. It should at least move inland another 6 tiles and include the entire east coast from Maine to Florida.

Thank you so much for the help SidusPOA!!

How do I add custom bitmaps for a new scenerio, without changing to original. I always have to copy the entire game over for each custom scenerio. How do I just add my custom units to my scenerio. I tried copying them to the scenerio folder but it does not work. Help please.

Kuniworth: Never use pure white on the bitmaps. Edit so that it is just off white. That should help your problem.

Kuniworth, I had Trenton in twice. Have changed the correct one to Philidelphia. Thanks for the info.

Retributer, consider this my official request for the community to help better my civil war conversion. Here are a few things, which I would like to add. 1. The possibility of European intervention from France and England, which will be dramatically reduced after the Emacipation Procalmation event. This event should not take place until the North occupies 4 southern cities, or something to that effect. 2. Disruptable convoys for both North and South to England and France. Confederacy should get a -2-1 advantage in convoys, to give the game a better balance, and because "cotton was king" 3. A requirement to garrsison occupied cities. If this is not done, then there should be a 1 out of 3 chance per turn, of the city rebelling and a partison appearing. 4.The ability of keeping certain generals in certain theaters. Example: Keeping Lee and Jackson near Richmond. 5. Subs which can sink each other. 6. Scripted events. Example: Confederacy captures Washington, and plunders city for MPPs. There should be plunder akin to conquering a country in SC2, when a Capital is captured. 7. Giving a player a choice, where to move the capital. 8. I would love to be able to draw red lines on the whole map showing the outline of all existing states at that time. It would just be eye candy, but would really look great. ALRIGHT COMMUNITY GET STARTED!!!!!! [ October 26, 2006, 03:12 AM: Message edited by: John Hugo ]

Kuniworth, you don't like my icons? But I worked so hard on them. I am currently working on the 3d ones.

Gee whiz Kuniworth, I guess if I had another year to work on it I could make all those changes. (I did mention it as a work in progress.) I don't even know how to make most of your requested changes. I was mostly concerned with game balance. The South has the initial advantage, but the Union continues to grow stronger every month. I wish the cannon could be stronger without adding to the range, but how can you have a Civil war game without cannons? It wouldn't be civil. I would love to know how to add convoys from Europe. Perhaps you could enlighten me. As far as the map being too big, I disagree. I suppose that I could add Philly. I use an occupation rule when I play. That is what the guards are for. Too many HQ's: Delete some. [ October 25, 2006, 07:23 PM: Message edited by: John Hugo ]

I use the guards for garrison duty. They take longer to produce than corps. The scenerio still needs work, but I figured, that I would still share it with the community to see what enhancements other people come up with.

Hey Hubert! I have finished my American Civil War SC2 complete conversion and would love to share it with the community. How do I do that. BTW I love, the new changes included in the new patch, especially the map generater. You have made a wonderful game, Hubert!

Every time I make a cool custom scenerio, I get the same error: FAILED(animate_restrengthening_of_land_units) segmentation violation. I wish somebody would tell me how to get past this problem. TY [ August 03, 2006, 03:53 AM: Message edited by: John Hugo ]

thanks

Where can I download the scenerio??

Russia should also keep its current research and mpp values after a negotiated peace, stockpiling for a possible Russian comeback .

I would like to see the possibility of a negotiated peace with Russia. Instead of keeping what they already had, the Germans should give up some of their conquests in exchange for a peace deal, and keep, maybe 1/3 of conquered territory. The give back, would be the negotiating incentive.
