If you have any idea on how this mod could be improved then post it here.

I noticed that in-game, the kepis are a bit forward on the soldiers' heads. The back of their head sticks out of the backs of kepis. Just an observation. :)

Be cool if they did a bit more work on destructible terrain, so like NW but instead larger sections can be destroyed. That would be great because destroying pre determined pieces is not as fun as removing whole walls form buildings.

Would be nice to see more Forage cap on the union since they mainly use Forage cap, not kepis. :)

There needs to be more official Line-battle during the week. so major regiments who dont want to play NW can play this.

I think the 54th is more likely to be added to a future episode, rather than the current one.

Hey Hinkel, any chance for the 9th New York to be added for a unit? I love their zouave uniforms and I can't stop thinking of how freaking awesome they look.

If i recall correctley the 9th NY saw no action, it was merged with the 17th New York anyways. The 9th was used to quell riots in New York City.. But still, the uniform to me looks freaking awesome.

Woo-hoo! I love Antietam! Not the whole 23,000 men being wounded or killed in one day but...you know what i mean! Yes!I shall bravely lead the 27th across the cornfield! And also Hinkel, when the mod goes through its stages  (Manassas, Antietam, Gettysburg/Wilderness (im assuming on those)). Will there be a last hurrah which is all the mods put in one big mod?

It will be always one mod.
When we add Antietam, you have 4 factions like "Army of northern Virginia [1862]" or "Army of the Potomac [1861]" :)

So there is something that has been bothering me about the 79th NY, since I'm a former member of the 79th NY Company B reenactment group (Now the 11th CT).

The 79th did NOT have a bagpiper. There is a story as it goes that on the way down from New York to Manassas that a piper shortly joined us, but since he was so bad at playing he... disappeared... But that is the only account of a piper with the 79th...

And I have one suggestion for the uniforms; The 79th soon found out that wearing kilts was a bad idea (Mosquito's can get into all the wrong places). So those who didn't trade out their kilts actually just turned them into pants, which (I think) was mostly NCO and musicians. So, plaid pants!

Another fun historical fact about the 79th; The 79th had a mutiny after the First Bull Run, as they had lost most of their officers in the battle. They were highly drunk at the time.

I don't know if there is a way for you to do it, but can you somehow make an order in commander battle to allow infantry to fix bayonets? kinda annoying when all they can do is whack each other with musket butts.

Oh, and in addition, though this is also a problem in NW that hasn't been fixed so i doubt it will, but the dragoons seem to think switching to melee mode on their guns which they cant use on horseback is better than drawing their swords.

Thanks.

Well, Kepis were quite more popular then forage caps.
But I like more the kepi style then forage caps, so you wont see much forage caps.

BUT: You can choose your own headgear next patch. So its not my choice then ;)

Can you guys focus on the core aspects of the mod, and not destructible trees? This recent patch is F'ed up. Focus on that first, more than anything. Making everything destructible is going to cause so much memory issues.

What is the bug?

What's the bug? I'll tell you. Almost every unit spawn naked, without legs. There is intense lag issues, along with graphical issues. Guns don't reload correctly, they're being handled at the stock, and it look like the player is reloading the gun where the trigger is. The sound is screwed up as well. And, there are still French shouts and commands...

So, it's more of "What are the bugs," rather than "What is the bug?"

I never said so btw, it was about a full release for mods.

Kpetschulat.. the updater tool is pretty easy to use. Its way saver and faster, then to download a patch file and patch it manual!
With the updater, you dont need to install it yourself, so its saver for us.

Beside that, we have the opportunity to use the updater for testing new stuff or adding smaller DLC's one day. I don't know, why you prefer to download and install manual patch files :)

So, then how far away is the patch to fix .402? It's currently broken, as I'm sure you've seen many people voice that. Just, many of us prefer doing manual installs, because as cool as this updater is (I do like it...), it's easier, and preferred by well over half of us that play this mod.  This updater, it's easy to use, yes... and, if it's too hard to upload files for manual install, then I shall no more on the matter. Just, please, fix this mod? I'm dieing to play, but can't due to reasons previously stated by myself.
