Ultimate General: Civil War reviews

Early Access Review I haven't had much Fun with a Strategy game in Ages. Although it is more of a Battle Simulator with such an ingenious Army Administration as I have never experienced in any other Game. It is such Little Things that make this Game so awesome and atmospherically unique. In the Beginning, you decide for the northern or Southern States, create your own Corps officer and already start. It's huge Fun in the Army Camp to manage its individual Corps. Money or Reputational Points earned through battles must be invested wisely! It says: Decimated Units replenish with Either Rookies or Veterans While Rookies are devaluing The squad Experience and thus The Battle values of the Brigade. Veterans maintain the Experience of the Force but are very expensive. -New Corps, Divisions and Brigades must be excavated and paid For, along with their officer. The higher the Rank of the elected Officer, the better he commands his Troops and the more expensive he is. Where Officers gain Experience and rise in Rank. This frees up more Bonuses for the Troops. Man must determine the Unit Type of each New Brigade. As if there Were: Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, Skirmisher-Then equip the Troops with suitable Weapons and thus specialize. These Weapons are paid dearly or captured on the Battlefields. You can also spend reputational Points earned Through Battles on Guns, Officers, Money and new Men. All Weapons are historically correctly depicted in terms of Appearance and Weapon values. Different Ranges, better melee, faster Reload etc ... I really enjoyed naming my Units, then fittingly equipping them and then optimizing the Division composition. Everything now sounds a bit complicated for one or the other, but it is not like that. I was in there very quickly. It can be controlled quite simplistically, no unnecessarily nested Menus with umpteen Submenus or something ... I found it very intuitive. Alas and my school English at best Was quite sufficient. It's more about Values, etc., a lot of it is just self-explanatory. Despite EA, I had left no Crashes or any bad Bugs, smaller AI dropouts outside ... ... But nothing Game Crucial. Play under Win 7 64 Bit on a Mid-range PC. Oh yes: To all those who complain about the ANGEBLICHEN AI bug: You can NOT REALY NOT ZURY without those DABEI IN THE RUST RUST GREAT OR FLANKIERT WIRD. Solution:!!! UNTEN IN THE BEFEHLSLEISTE GIBT ES THE KNOPF NAMENS---FALL BACK---WENN MAN THIS DRÜCKT LIGADE BORD BIGADE KY ONTROLLIERT ZURÜCKFALLEN WITHOUT SICH DABEI UMZUDREHEN AND SICHERT DABEI THE EIGEN RUST DURCH DECKUNGSFEUER. SIGHT BAR DURCH THE MARCH THE VERSPÄTET NIGHT AND DABEI NOCH FEUERN!!! Little Tip: In the Beginning, My Experience points invested in "Training" (Veterans get about 2.5% cheaper per Point) and "Politics" (More Money, Recruits and Reputation as a Reward). This is worthwhile in the long term on the Side of The suspension, as In the later Course of the War there are fewer and Fewer Resources available. One Point in Medizin.4 in Logistics (per Point + 2.5% Ammunition in Battle) The Rest into the size of the Army (did not;) the Designation in the Head) Furthermore, I spent the Reputational Points quite late in the Campaign only on Weapons and Recruits. Actually Never had Problems due to too little Money only the Recruits were at the End badly little ... Left everything to Stand-by in difficulty and coped well. The AI is demanding but never Unfair. And above all, as with Total War, for example, Bin now after almost 43 Hours in the suspension campaign as far as Fredericksburg and was able to stop the Union there. Currently, Fredericksburg is the final Battle in the Campaign (thankfully there is still a lot to:D) Now I will probably play the Campaign on The side of the Union ... Finally, I would like to explain my Thumbs up this way: If, after a huge and long Carnage with thousands of Soldiers, you look at the result screen and mourn about Losses in your own Ranks and among the Officers, you have captured Weapons and Ammunition rejoices Afterwards ... Pauses briefly ... And then thinks:!!! MAN WAR THAT NE GEILE SCHLACHT!!! Yes then the Game did everything right for me ... So far for me, the best Strategy Game of this Decade! And it's not even finished ...
