Do we have an ACW problem?

Please keep the discussion on topic.

It looks like the American Civil War is pretty rigidly coded

Not sure if Tom meant it this way, but there's no "Hey, it's date X, fire the ACW!" event, it's based on conditions in the USA being met. Looks like it's still happening too fast, but on the other hand at least that's better than making it too easy to avoid. Bear in mind that whatever happens a dynamic system is never going to be exactly historical though.

Edit: You know it just occured to me, you should be glad the ACW happens early, this way you can play it in the demo!

I don't see why it has to happen at all, except of course a lot of people seem to want it.

Why the CSA is not just another possible revolter seems to run against the "sandbox-doctrine".

Eight out of hundreds if not thousands is a horrible sample size to base a statistic on.

At the moment 8 is not a sample, it is the population. As such its results are statistically valid.

No, it's the observed population = sample size. And a horribly selection-biased sample size.

How is there a selection bias?

Thread closed, too much spam.

To summarize King : Paradox wanted to make sure the ACW happens, they are aware that it is happening perhaps a bit too early for the taste of some players, and therefore one of the foci of the next patch will be to try and make the start time a bit more variable.

End of discussion.
