Specific change.... Polulation numbers are incorrect. White Free Colored Slave Total Military Union* 21,475,373 355,310 0,432,650 22,339,989 4,559,872 CSA 05,447,220 132,760 3,521,110 09,103,332 1,064,193 *includes MO and KY, DC, and territories KY 919,484 010,684 0,225,483 1,155,684 180,589 Notes: [1] Total includes other racial/ethnic groups. [2] White males aged 18-45 [3] VA includes the present state of WV [4] White includes "half-breeds." Which gives a 4.5 1 edge if you count slaves for both sides. In game the Union has 162 Population points versus 74 Population points for the CSA. Which gives the Union a 2.1 to 1 edge. Now, I do understand that the CSA did mobilize almost all of its men of military age and the Union not near that percentage (I can’t find any stattitics for this at the moment) as a large number of men we used to support the war effort or were against the war. So how much of edge they should have is debatable but I think 2.1 to 1 is too low. I’d prefer to see that the edge was closer to 4.5 to 1 and have the population modifers option be used to contain the Union (maybe make this so this option can apply only the the Union?) Anyone else have any ideas? Rook
