I am thinking of starting from scratch.
Remove the bizarrely ranked Charles Hamilton, have him enter in january 62 as a 1*.
Change Banks into a 2* at game start, with auto promotion in Jan 63 to 3*.
Maybe change Buell into a 2* at entrance, as he was, like Grant, simply a corps commander under Halleck. But this might have negative effects for the Union.
Create a bunch of auto promote events for both sides based on seniority, political connections etc. That way the correct 2* and 3* generals show up. This would be something like Bragg, Heintzelmann, Longstreet, Jackson, Keyes etc
Include Rosecrans at or near game start, at 1*. Never figured out why he enters so late.
Maybe add Lander at game start for the Union at 1*.
Possibly re rate generals ratings.
Also, maybe redo brigade composition, getting rid of 90% of sharpshooter, cavalry and artillery in infantry brigades.
also what do you all think of brigades having regulars (as opposed to conscripts) in them at recruitment? I kind of think it would be better
to have all infantry start at conscript. As it is, as much as possible i don't recruit brigades that have many conscript elements. It is odd, there are brigades with some, all, or no conscript elements and essentially no reason to recruit the ones with conscripts until you empty the force pool of the brigades with no or few conscripts regiments.
Anyone interested? Thoughts, commentary, blatant personal attacks?
