The Union and the Confederate States of America fighting for 2 years now. A confederate victory is close! Both sides fight in the biggest war on the american continent: The American Civil War 1861-1865.
The second episode of the most famous NW modification will feature the Battle of Gettysburg, which was the largest battle as well as the turning point of the Civil War.
For three days in July 1863, both armies clashed near the small town Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. It will be the biggest battle on the american continent.
SPECIAL THANKS AND CREDITS
I would like to thank the secession team and its contributors for their cooperation, Azrooh, Austro and Rigadoon for some of their fancy civil war stuff and support.
Beside that, credits go to yellowmosquito, Gabbi, berserkergang and Kopcap! Special credit goes to total war modder Primergy and his "North and South" mod for NTW.
A great cheer to the Second Carolina String Band and California State Fife and Drum Corps for their music contribution to turn the game into a deeper civil war atmosphere.
