Grand Tactician The Civil War: Economy Tutorial and Overview

I cover the role of the economy in the game, factors affecting finances, and give some advice on how to manage your economy in Grand Tactician: The Civil War (1861-1865). (Click "Show More" option for rest of description.)

Lots on the economy not covered in this video, such as IIPs, trade, and production charts. I played this campaign thru at least mid-October 1862, auto-resolving all battles. Interesting lessons learned from policy selection in '62. Perhaps in another video...

FYI: The last 3 minutes I’m looking at the game but I’m recording the manual. You’re not missing much.

Read the manual: https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/st..., esp. pp. 35-48 and 110-111 about the economy.
