Great game, having a blast but, just a couple things I can't figure out. (I only play full campaign, April start)
1. Generals command ratings. So a 1-4-1 would be a good attacker and a 1-1-4 would be a good defender but what would a 4-1-1 be good at? Specifically, what is the strategic rating all about. What does it influence?
2. I've only really tried Union and I find that I don't have anywhere near enough money. I've read here and there that one should build transports and armorys/ironworks and I've tried that but I get to mid 62 and I'm too broke just building enough troops to stop the grey hordes that I can't afford much else. I find I have lots of conscripts and materials but no money. Is this normal? I don't have to institute a draft or pay bountys for new guys because I can't afford to use them all anyway. Also, every turn I get a message that private contracts are cancelled because I have too much left over steel.
3. How do I change the name of my forces. The Army of the Potomac occupying New Orleans is dumb and Western Force is just plain boring. Tried messing with the savegames but it's not working.
Thanks in advance, I've looked pretty hard for the answers to these but I'm not finding much.
