Super cool game. Scaling for the opponent is busted and needs to be reworked. Why get punished bc you did a good job managing your troops in the campaign to have the programming negate that with an extra 30k+++ troops.

A pretty good Civil War game that takes inspiration from Sid Meiers Gettysburg and the Total War series battles and adds in a campaign - which is more of a series of linked battles with your own army management thrown in than a full chance to refight the civil war. Thoroughly enjoyable though and the J&P Rebalance mod is a great addition to the game too. My Review: https://youtu.be/EbMHKGuoD3E

One of my favourite games of all times. The battles are gorgeous, but the most interesting part is how to equip the army for better results. Elite well equipped forces or meat assault? What's more effective: rush with a horde or tactical well supported assault? This is a true masterpiece!!!

Look... Are there better RTS games out there? Sure. Sure there are. But, for some reason, this one keeps calling me back. I suppose I like it in spite of the linear storytelling. It is generally historical, to the extent that a video game can be, which doesn't really lend toward a non-linear experience. I don't know. There's something here that is very good. I suppose the recommendation I have is as follows: 1. If you like real time strategy, this one is pretty good. 8/10 2. If you like historical content, this one is pretty good. 7/10 3. If you like fielding rather massive armies against an opposing rather massive army, this one is pretty good. 9/10 4. If you like rotating the camera to get different/better views of the battlefield, this one is really, very bad. 0/10 5. If you like having variety in your army composition, this one is better than most. 9/10 Basically, this is the best Civil War strategy video game I have played. For transparencies sake, I have played only 2 Civil War strategy video games, and I've enjoyed them both, but this one is better. Thank you.
