Civil War Update Patches
========================

The update has been split into 3 seperate ZIP files:
  ACW_11.ZIP   : Everybody needs to download this.
  ACW4M_11.ZIP : Extra files needed if you only have 4 Megs of RAM
  ACWI_11.ZIP  : Extra files for international non-English versions.

Installation
============

To install this version, do the following:

  1. Make sure you have a copy of PKUNZIP on your machine and
     installed somewhere in your PATH.

  2. Make sure you have already installed Civil War from the original
     CD.  It doesn't matter which installation option you have
     chosen.  You can install this updated over the top of the
     existing installation.

  3. Change directory to where Civil War was installed to by typing:

       C:
       CD \CIVILWAR

     This assumes you originally installed it to C:\CIVILWAR

  4. Unzip the update file into the new directory by typing:
       
       PKUNZIP -D -O \CSERVE\DOWNLOAD\ACW_11.ZIP

     where \CSERVE\DOWNLOAD\ACW_11.ZIP is where you received the beta
     update.
     
     The -D option is very important to retain the directory
     structure.

     The -O option allows PKUNZIP to overwrite existing versions of
     the files.

     If you didn't use -O then answer YES to to any questions about 
     overwriting files.

  5. If you have downloaded ACW4M_11.ZIP and/or ACWI_11.ZIP as well
     then follow step 4 for each of these files as well.

  6. Run the game as usual, e.g. Type in:
      CIVIL or CIVILWAR

  7. Read update.txt for information about what's new.


Changes Made To Civil War
=========================

Version 1.1.3, 17th October 1995
================================

 Campaign:
 ---------

   Designed and Implemented a completely new Campaign AI.

   Combat Value of cities changed:
     Capital cities have extra 10%
     Occupied cities have a much higher value based on their occupier.
     Larger Cities have higher value (up to 70%).

   Fixed bug that could cause building supply wagons to wrap the cities
   supply levels to small values.

   Naval Units can only be built in sea ports.

   Fixed bug with realism settings where low unit type realism prevented the
   facility and supply realism settings from working correctly.

   City Supply levels are shown in the City Information area.

   Resource generation adjusted so that small towns will produce more
   than they used to.

   City Supply rules rewritten to work as designed:
     Each town has a supply level
     They supply any troops that are nearby
     As they supply more troops then the supply level drops.
     As the supply level drops then they can not supply troops so well.
     New supplies can be created by building Supply Wagons
     Supply wagons can only be built if you have supply depot
  
     Town supplies are auto-updated a little every day, and also
     receive supplies from their capital city.
  
   Resource/Supply generation bugfix:
     Towns only supply other towns if they are controlled by the same side!
 
   Water routes are shown when highlighting naval units.

   Messages about Naval Battles are displayed during the movement phase.

   New regiments are named after the state they were built in rather than
   the city.

   Route Planner written, moving by land picks fastest route avoiding
   water, marsh, etc as appropriate.  There are two route planning
   algorithms implemented: a fast one that simply avoids water, and a
   slow one that finds the quickest method taking into account the
   movement speed over different terrains.  You can choose which one to
   use from the campaign options dialogue.

   Campaign Orders: 4 mode icons at bottom instead of 2:
     Any    : Move by fastest method [default].
     Land   : Only move by land
     Rail   : Only move by rail
     Water  : Only move by water

   Units rejoining command will use best route available instead of walking.

   Campaign Options added:
     Campaign Clock: On/Off, when off the clock does not move whilst
        giving orders in Campaign mode.  You must click the clock icon
        to end the day.
     Route Planner: Quick or Full.
        Full: Picks the fastest route taking into account movement rates 
              on different terrain types.  Not recommended unless you
              have a Pentium.
        Quick: Route planner only avoids impassable terrain (e.g. sea).
     AI Passes: The maximum number of passes the Campaign AI will try
                when allocating orders to units.  Low numbers will be
                quicker, but may not come up with as good orders as for
                higher values.

   Units on boats/trains can not be transferred until they arrive at
   their destination.

   City Supplies and Resources are not increased while it is being
   sieged.

   Bugfix: Units don't alternate between occupying and unoccupying
   every pass through movement phase.

   Added a few missing railway links.

   Railway way-points can not be used for boarding / disemabarking
   from trains.

   Mouse Pointer changed to arrow during Movement Phase messages.

   Units withdrawing after losing a city battle will do so immediately
   instead of waiting till the next day.

   Bugfix: Regiment's supply levels reduced when appropriate.

   Bugfix: Merging regiments doesn't crash any more.

   Hospitals have an effect on recovery rate.  Resting units in a
   city with a hospital will double the recovery rate.  Being within
   about 30 miles will have a lesser effect.

   Unallocated Regiments in CAL have their type listed as well as
   their name.

   Naval Battle result: "Union suffered no damage" message
   was coming up even when referring to Conferedates.

   Naval Battle result: Flotillas of correct sides displayed.  It was
   backwards before.

   Naval Battle result: Flotilla sizes are shown before any ship are
   sunk.  Empty flottilas are displayed as "flotilla consisting of
   nothing" instead of "flotilla consisting of".

   Unit's and General's experiences are updated after battles.

   Visibility of enemy units set correctly when player is controlling
   both sides (using -P=B on command line).

   Facilities can be built on both sides when player controls both
   sides.

   Fixed Problems with saved games:
     - Ferries carrying troops were not being read in properly,
       resulting in troops stuck in the sea.
     - Trains were not storing their passengers properly, resulting
       in stranded brigades.
     - Units involved in battles not stored correctly.  This means
       that saving in the middle of a battle while there are other
       battles waiting to be played that day would not read in correctly
     - Clock's date and time are set up correctly after loading. 
       This was a problem if you had campaign time turned off because
       it left the date at whatever it was set to before.



 Battle:
 -------

   Infantry, Cavalry and Horse sprites all redrawn.

   Fixed bug that prevented reloading animation to be displayed.
 
   Animation speed is based on distance that units move instead of going
   as fast as possible!

   Fixed bug which may have caused Regiments to become independant.

   Artillery's decisive ranges increased to prevent them charging 
   into enemy.

   Artillery with attack/charge orders will stop and fire instead of
   charging enemy.

   Formation rotation speeds reduced a lot!

   Fixed Bug when a unit reattaches all units, but some of its units are 
   not on the battlefield then it still tried to attach them.  This
   caused a freeze up at the end of the battle before continuing the
   campaign.

   Fixed Battle AI bug concerning detached units whose parents are
   not on the battlefield.  Sometimes armies were being allocated to
   Corps resulting in an unstable Order of Battle structure
   eventually causing a crash later in the campaign.

 Miscellaneous:
 --------------

   Saved game Filenames can be given on the command line to auto-load a
   saved game.  You must invoke the exectuable directly rather than
   using the CIVIL.BAT e.g. type in:
          exe\dwg.exe mysave.sav

   Other command line options include:
	-c : Go directly into campaign game
	-b : Go directly into a battle game
	-p=USA : Player is USA
	-P=CSA : Player is CSA
	-P=0   : Player is nobody, AI plays itself
	-P=B   : Player controls both sides

   Various internal bugfixes and code tidying.

   Fixed bug in Polygon renderer used to draw arrow heads, which
   caused random bits of memory to be unallocated.

   Unit Information area on right of screen in campaign and battle
   includes the unit's organisations (e.g. "1st Brigade, 2nd Corps,
   Army of the Potomac" instead of just "1st Brigade").
