June 16th, 2012 marks the 150th Anniversary of The Battle of Secessionville.

To commemorate the battle that has always been a great interest to me, I am releasing this map as a free add-on pack. It includes the Secessionville map, historical OOB, two basic setup scenarios, and historic Confederate flags.

This map also introduces Fort warfare to the Scourge of War game engine. It includes the Tower Battery, which would become known as Fort Lamar after the battle.

IMPORTANT: You must have patch 1.5 or later to use this mod. Download it at http://www.scourgeofwar.com/downloads.shtml

You also must have the Antietam expansion installed to take advantage of new buildings etc. Purchase it at: http://www.matrixgames.com/store/442/de ... :.Antietam

This package will install over your current version of Secessionville. You may remove the SEC.dat file found in your Scourge of War - Gettysburg\Base\Maps\packages folder. This step is not required, but recommended for a complete clean install.

This pack includes the Secessionville map, OOB, historic Rebel flags, and two setup scenarios.

Updates in version 2.0:

- New footbridge added connecting the Secessionville peninsula to the mainland.
- New cotton field and hedgerows.
- Additional buildings and modifications to existing buildings.
- Added additional roads/paths and fixed several road issues.
- Fixed collision issues with fences. Troops will no longer try to walk past fences.
- Increased defensive radius for fences.
- Other minor changes and bug fixes.

To play, select the mod (make sure a 'yellow block' is shown next to this map) in the modifications selection screen, then choose the Secessionville map in the map selection screen. You will also see the two Secessionville scenarios in the User Scenarios menu and the OOB in Sandbox menu.


Credit is due to Louie Raider for showing me the ropes of map making, as well as creating the excellent Ft. Lamar observation tower. Also thanks to 2nd Texas for his guidance, his excellent terrain sprites (trees, grass, etc.), ground textures, and morning sky. Also thanks to RebBugler for his historic Confederate flags. Also thanks to "Hancock the Superb" for providing research material for the foot bridge and hedge rows.

Is that Mordor in the first picture? :laugh:

[Little Powell]

Think of it as the Civil War era Mordor... :laugh:

It's actually the 75 ft observation tower that gave the fort it's name, the Tower Battery.

Congratulations Matt "Little Powell"

You've come a long way in making this, your first dream child a reality. I remember those times well in TC2M days, we were all just in the beginning of modding and eager to learn. Now, it's really happening big time, and we're going Great Guns SOW, with no signs of slowing down. Here's a search thread I just did so others can check out those early Secessionville posts:

Ha,Ha, I remember those screenshots with palm trees. The terrain is almost impossible to look at now. Way to do South Carolina up proper LP!!! And as always good looking flags Reb Flagler. You should have twisted Louie Raider's arm into making you a 32lb Siege Gun en barbette to throw in the fort.
