ACW Questions

Hey-
Vicky (not Ricky), latest version.
I converted a game from EUII to play as the USA. It's 1859, though, so I have a couple of questions about the civil war.

1. How many regulars would I need to take the South down?

2. What will happen to troops I have planted below the Mason-Dixon line when the Provs change hands?

3. Peace conditions?

4. My capitol is in Norfolk. Could this mess up the event firing or anything?

And, on a slightly unrelated note,

5. Will immigrants ever go back to moving to the east coast after the gold rush?

I'll come back and post if I forgot anything.
Thanks in advance.

1. More than you could ever have--surrender now, and perhaps Dixie will be merciful.

Seriously, I've never played as the North, so...pass! Next question.

2. Unless they're Dixie, Texan, or Cherokee, nothing. If they are, lookout!

3. Take all the South's major cities and the bulk of its land and/or run up its war exhaustion and its Cause will be Lost.

4. Nope.

5. Not unless you do some serious micro-management.

Nah, but if u want to have it in richmond (or even new orleans ), u can edit the save and keep it all historical

Alright, so the culture of my troops will affect what happens to them when the event fires?

I have seen it happen, yes. It appears to be a bit random, but in a game back in 1.03c days I created a large number of divisions with Dixie culture and based them in the South. When succession occurred, a number of them went over to the Confederacy. I haven't tried it with Revolutions.

Well, I don't have Rev. So it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks.
