American Civil War: Brothers vs. Brothers mod for Empire: Total War

One thing I have noticed is that the Confederate Units (I know for sure when I play as them, but am not fully sure about the AI if you play as the Union) are larger than the Union's units, which I feel is backwards and the reverse of what it should be, especially considering that CSA units tend to be slightly better stat wise, which reflects reality. Is there anyway to change that potentially so that CSA units are slightly smaller than the Unions?

I was wondering if you guys can make some adjustments like I really like the historical battles you made in the past mod and well could you make custom navel battles work again please
And a little side war mod like the Franco-Mexican wars that was happening during the american civil war

Do you have to have the warpath to run this mod?

This mod is incredible. Definitely highly recommend it. It's a shame what I'm hearing about the Confederate campaign, I actually got a bit into one without it crashing, but I'm not at turn 25 yet so I'd take the word of the people leaving comments. Also a shame naval battles don't appear to have ever been finished (CTD every time I try them, I assume they just don't work on this mod since the custom sea battles are marked WIP in the menu, I could be wrong though). Other little minor issues I have are the "missing string" dialogue in diplomacy, the fact that the British, French, Mexican, etc troops all say "Battalion forward!" in American English. Troops sometimes seem to have a hard time path finding in the custom maps.

Overall though, other than the CTDs I haven't encountered, these are nitpicks at best. It would be nice if this mod could be finished (though I know the original team has scattered and it's nigh impossible), but what's here is honestly incredible, perhaps the best total conversion mod for Empire Total War. I hold Darthmod in slightly higher regard as there's more content and it's more stable, but DM is also not really so much total conversion as what vanilla should have been. This is something entirely different. The beautifully modeled historic generals, the dozens upon dozens and dozens of custom units, each brimming with detail, the custom maps and historical battlefields, the sound of muskets and rifles firing, shells cracking and sizzling, men shouting commands and battle cries, the set up of the menu interface and unit cards, the campaign map. Hats off to the team that put this gem together. You've done something incredible. If I could review this I'd give it a 10/10, even in its sadly unstable, somewhat unfinished state. Anyone bored with vanilla Empire and/or it's 18th century mods, and definitely any lover of Civil War history, should give this a try.

Sometimes you can get past the crash at turn 25 on the confederate campaign by not getting into a war with the union until after turn 25 or 30

this is a wonderful mod. played the heck outa the campaigns. One issue i have is the vanilla game won't run. Once i click out of the launcher for ACW is pops up a window asking for ACW ready or vanilla ready. there has been multiple times i wanted to play vanilla but once i clicked vanilla ready it moved files and such. however now when i click play game it will not open but once i go back to playing the mod it works just fine. any solutions?

This mod is a work of art. It is real shame and a tragedy that all of this beautiful work has essentially gone to waste. I have tried many, many times to play this mod and I always experience crashes during battles. Not every time I fight does the game crash, but it happens often enough that every battle I fight, I play it nervously, hoping this time it works and I can finish without a ctd.

I was able to finish a campaign as the Union, because even though the game crashes during battles, I noticed through trial and error that if you keep playing, eventually it won't crash and you can continue the campaign. That is, of course, until it crashes later on in another battle. However you can do the same as before, and keep trying until it works, and eventually continue your campaign.

Unfortunately, the Confederate campaign is actually broken. I experienced the usual battle crashes, which were a nuisance but I dealt with it the same as with the Union campaign; I kept trying and I was able to continue the campaign, like before. But eventually I got a crash when I would end the turn, sometime around the 25th or 30th turn, and that made the campaign unplayable as I was now unable to continue, no matter what. I tried every trick I could find scouring forums all over the internet, but to no avail. There is no publicly known solution to this issue.

I appeal to anyone who has experience modding this game, or to the previous developers, if you can find a solution to the mod's problems with crashing, especially on the campaign map, you would be a hero to many people. Any help at all, even a tutorial on how we in the community can try to resolve it ourselves, would be very much appreciated.
