Battle of Chancellorsville
AI improvements
- Fixed some bugs in AI decisions and now AI should more properly reinforce and attack areas, strongly and decisively when needed.
- Improved AI artillery efficiency. AI cannons should support better and at closer distance the infantry.
Balances
- Fixed very low damage in high cover places, such as dense forest areas. The previous low damage could make flanking maneuvers obsolete, confuse AI and prolong fire fights too much.
- Fixed very low damage of 20Pdr Parrots.
- 2nd Manassas Battle has more Confederate Veterans opponents in campaign version (battle should be more difficult for the Union).
- Campaign AI opponent scaling is better balanced.
- Battle of Fredericksburg "remastered". It includes one more phase making it more challenging for both sides.
Battle of Stones River
Bug fixes
- Fixed bug that made reload rate to decrease and not to increase according to firepower rating. This affects damage and AI decisions positively.
- Improved some retreat direction issues.
- Fixed some bugs that could cause Freezes.
Other
- Several text improvements/fixes based on your reports.
New difficulty mode only for the bravest!
