(multiplayer edition) - Ewell advances Multiplayer has now 12 scenarios for 1vs1 matches. • Chat functionality: You can chat in the battle lobby using the new text window, as well as during a battle using the “Enter” key. • Updated game with the new single player improvements (see below). • Fixed some multiplayer stability and functionality issues. • “Conquer the map” now gets cavalry reinforcements correctly from the western valleys, giving more opportunities to the Confederates for flanking Cemetery ridge.
changedAIThe AI will now be a stubborn defender when it has to be. It will actively try to protect high priority objectives and will not chase other units away as it did before. This is best seen on maps where the AI Union must protect Cemetery hill. • The AI will be more decisive when storming your positions with multiple unit charges. • The AI will often maneuver its units in columns behind its lines to support flanks and mobilize reserves. This helps a lot when it must defend locations like Cemetery Hill and Culp's Hill, where it is needed to switch reserves between the hills. • The AI more often will move its artillery closer to your positions to inflict more casualties. • All AI personalities have received improvements according to their character. • The AI will not use cavalry & videttes irritatingly and too aggressively, but will use them to harass you when it is needed, as a player does.

Units that inflict many casualties will fight more heroically and will have steadier morale. On the contrary, units that are badly beaten and have poor combat effectiveness will be more fragile throughout the battle. • Reduced the strength of charges. Uncoordinated frontal assaults on heavily fortified positions will be suicidal and can lead to units losing their fighting condition very fast. A slower advance results in units being effective for a longer time. • Reduced cavalry strength. Cavalry are weaker against massed firearms. • Improved unit targeting and auto-line management. Units now need even less babysitting. • Artillery movement speed is increased in relation to infantry speed. • Intensified terrain movement penalties. Units climbing hills, entering built-up areas, forests will slow down significantly. As a result, defensive positions are now more powerful. • Rebalanced terrain cover bonuses/penalties so that the benefits of concealment are clearer. • Units moving in a firing line formation will be much slower compared to units in column formation. You can now use columns to maneuver faster or slowly fire and advance in line formation without isolating units from the
