The game is kind of bland, but very historically accurate and definitely can be fun, buy it on sale and its worth it.. Pros: It's like a documentary where you can control the outcome, historical generals and captains, ships and everything else from this era. Good maps, where anything is possible. Cons: Sticky or clanky UI, where i have to press stuff like 5 times to get it to select. Confusing controls and small tabs that aren't quite explained when selecting certain things. I've got about 30 data centers less than 50 miles from my house and the AI is still predictable and retarded, on higher difficulties it just flat out cheats to win. Again don't pay 50 bucks for this like i did, on sale i can recommend it
15/10 with whiskey and lemons DLC. 5/10 base game only The reason to get this game is Whiskey and Lemons. That is the be all and end all. But its worth it for that and that alone. If you want to buy the base game, you can. But know there are often better or at least far less buggy games that can do the same. Personally if it was only the base game. I wouldnt have bothered. This is the only game (with W+L) that lets you RPG your way from brand new officer who can barely do as you are told (and not a lot more) , with a single regiment all the way to running an entire army and dictating the conduct of the entire war. Its something Ive never seen and never played until now. Highly recommended. But only if you play it Whiskey and Lemons style.
i legit almost have 400 hrs and realized ive never once played or even loaded a union campaign just stockholm syndrome trying to win but make it last until atleast mid 1863-early 64...rough or i just suck. i love the campaign map and the commander portraits and unit and army building aspect of the game and the realistic supply mechanics. i bought it when it was still in development and mehh, but a few years later came back to it and well i play it alot. AOM mod is better and i recently started modding it for fun if your big into grand strategy you may like it but i certainly wouldnt tell anyone to pay $44 dollars for it. real nice of the developers to go on to the next game so quickly hopefully its good
This is an interesting one to review, and a game I put off buying for a long time because the trailers were not selling it for me. Especially in a world dominated by Ultimate General: Civil War (UGCW). I think this game is actually better than UGCW in many if not most ways. The tactical side, which most compares to UGCW, is more complex but much more realistic. I like it. At the same time, this game is very imperfect. But I have yet to see a better American Civil War game. Many reviews discuss bugs. I have yet to find one. What the game does have is a lot of under-optimization. It's slow and clanky at times. But I think most of the 'bugs' people complain about are mostly just people not understanding the complexity of the game. In that sense, it reminds me a lot of Ultimate General: American Revolution, for what it's trying to do. That's also a great game, btw. And if you're into the historical complexity of logistics and feuds, etc. this game is what you want. If you want something more arcade-style, this won't be it. Finally, the price is a bit ridiculous, but at the same time, you pay it once. I'd go ahead and purchase the DLC from the beginning, and even start with the DLC (after the tutorials). The DLC itself works a lot like a tutorial - at least it did for me. It's pretty great, and sets you up to want to actually play the main campaign. There are A LOT of mechanics to learn, and while I would highly recommend the tutorials, they are so bad and lengthy that I never went past the beginning (which still took about an hour). So don't be turned off by the bad/overly in-depth tutorials that can take you hours. Just jump in with the DLC and you'll pick it up. I am at about 100 hours and have yet to find an end-game. I have a number of complaints - bad enemy AI with their artillery (always leaving them unprotected to be taken out), and an over-abundance of attacks from the enemy (despite the window saying it's winter and the armies will go more remote, the enemy is super aggressive and will destroy itself going Stalingrad on you through the winter). But overall, nothing compares to this game. The price is not super high, but I'm sure that's what killed the game. Most people won't pay that much. The developers have unfortunately moved on, but this is a much more finished and polished game than the reviews will lead you to believe.
