The American Civil War Mod: Revived!

Mod review

Awesome mod, written by a ACW reenactor.

Positives:
+Various weapons to choose from, from various muskets, pistols and swords.

+Various clothes that are modeled really well, and have several different versions to create a character (Officer, NCO, Private uniforms with or without backpacks, different shoes [and some confeds don't have shoes!], and quite a few different hats)

+ Dialogue matching with the time period

+Small changes that make it feel like you stepped back into 1861

+Flags: The flags look really good, especially in combat. It also makes it look like you have an actual unit, instead of a hodgepodge of different soldiers.

+Soundtrack: Can't go wrong with a blend of original music, music from Gettysburg (1991, and my favorite movie) and Glory

Negatives:
- Very, very tiny problem is the musket's are not quite what they are (Mainly flintlocks instead of caplocks). While not a gameplay problem, most people will not notice the difference, and at the end of the day, they act very similarly.

- Tournaments are a tad wack (Sometimes spawning people under water) but still for the most part playable

Overall:
If you are a big ACW buff or reenactor, this mod is really great, and can transform this game from it's base medieval time period to the 1860's. Only complaint is the musket models, but it is not a gamebreaking issue - just a very, very small visual one. 9/10: Would secede again.
