If this has already been discussed, my apologies......
In checking the Civilopedia entry for Lincoln, the text reads:
"In July of 1862 the Northern and Southern forces met at Gettysburg...Simultaneously, Union forces under...Grant captured the city of Vicksburg...Shortly thereafter Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation."
While it is accurate that the South did, indeed, invade the North in 1862, Gettysburg and Vicksburg both happened at the same time, and Lincoln did issue the Emancipation Proclamation after a Northern Victory in 1862, the details are just flat out incorrect in the Civilopedia.
Gettysburg and Vicksburg both happened in 1863, and NOT in 1862, and the battle that led Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation was Antietam.
A game that is predicated on history, made by an American company, and they can't get the details of the most tumultuous time in its history correct? Whomever wrote this Civilopedia entry, and their editors, really messed this one up.
Does it affect gameplay? Not even a little, but this is just too wrong to let pass.
Thanks,
Tony
