Fort Vicksburg is BS.

Why do the enemies spawn behind the player?

The AI isn't smart enough to keep up with enemies on both sides of the battlefield.
I could win all my battles if I got to spawn behind the enemy too, wouldn't matter how many troops they had.

I siege the fort for days and somehow they still manage to pull a fast one and flank me, is that the idea here? Because it's not fun.

Bounty hunting is still bugged and sometimes the target isn't there

And yet here we are, tanks with no damage taken in autoresolve or otherwise gone after a battle.

My game is a fresh install and up to date.

"Get that brain checked out man."

Cute.

Listen, when I google a bug for a mod and find that the issue has been present since 2017 (maybe sooner) that shows either lack of care by the team making it, or they've abandoned trying to fix it.

If you have a solution different from the one I found then please share it so future people with this issue can solve it.
If not then I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself.

Disappearing tanks!

Apparently if I try to use my tanks that have 3 crew max (British female tanks) the game deletes the whole tank after the battle because it's too small a unit. Apparently snipers and bunkers have this same problem. I found this while searching:

"Yep don't worry 1)in laucher put unit scale at classic
2)download pfm (i use 3.5.2) and go in units statsland tables and change men number for tanks and bunker i put 30
3)go in windows menu search and tape %appdata% go to roaming/the creative assembly/napoleon total war /preference script and find campaign unit multiplayer line and put 1.2 for change unit scale
I did that and my tanks fight since 2 years!"

I'm not doing this.
I'm not downloading some program to modify numbers that the game devs should have changed by now.
It's 2021....
In other words: Don't use tanks. Don't use any fun unit that has a total size of <20, the game will just eat them. I've lost snipers this way too.
I was wondering where my special units were vanishing to, and now I kow.

Idk if this mod is dead, but that's a really easy patch to make if fans can change it themselves.

My female tank crew is only 3 people. I'm guessing that's small enough so the game thinks it's a heavily damaged unit and they disappear after every battle, auto resolve or manual.
I've tried increasing unit size but that didn't help. Please fix this.

Two issues I'm having that I'm not seeing other people talk about: crashing issues in game (not on launch) and the "Default Flag" bug.
For some reason Austria-Hungary and Germany have a red flag over their troops that says, "Default"
I downloaded the latest hotfix. I hope I don't have to erase my save....

Edit: It's multiple countries. Russia and Sweden have the default flag bug too.

So I was enjoying this mod until one day the battle reports at the bottom left stop working (IE damage reports, gained/lost money, even the message saying to hit tab to exit after a battle) which was giving me a script error. I found a few other people with this problem but no solutions.
Did a clean install of the game and now I'm encountering the weirdest bug when creating a new character.
I tried to make a female clan leader and the opening fight has multiple people spawning on my side. I kill the enemies and im stuck in limbo. I've had variations of this bug making other types of characters, the strangest being the normal fight but starting me at level 33 and my character teleporting to the enemy spawn point with my old character model still being present. Once it is killed I lose the opening fight and re-spawn only to be stuck in limbo again.

my only real criticism of the game itself is that the random encounters, "you hear a slurping noise" and so on, are deathtraps. It's always a fight and it's not very balanced, particularly in the early game.
