I have been playing CW2 and mostly really enjoying it. I played ACW and believe this is a much improved game on many fronts. I have 2 suggestions/requests so far. I would gladly pay for an expansion that worked either or both of these features into the game.
1. Hidden general attributes: One of the great challenges of the civil war was that the national commands did not know what the "attributes" of the leaders. It would be neat if it was possible to have either a way to randomize general attributes and have them masked from the player. Then as you use them have the attributes revealed. This process could create a more realistic and FUN than the current system where you have magical prior insight into each leader's abilities.
2. If there is anything that can be done to make the management of recruitment of brigades and the assemblage of divisions it would make the game more FUN for many players. I spend a lot more time trying to figure out where I am in recruiting divisions and getting the brigades together to form divisions. It would be more fun for me to focus more on prosecuting the war rather than micromanaging the assemblage of divisions. At a minimum there should be an auto division button that will automatically put together a standard division (10 Inf, 2 Cav, 1 SS, & 4 Art) if you have the elements in the relevant county.
Anything that could streamline micromanagement would be grand.
