i acquired all the ultimate general games and in each game the improvement is evident. i come from playing a game series that we all know, I like high strategy, but this series always lacked depth in its boring and generalist campaigns. lately this game saga is releasing historical titles with more mechanics and historical depth, but it still does not reach the depth of this general ultimate. another important aspect is that in the ultimate general we can recreate the battles on a scale with all the troops with its game system and in that saga large battles cannot be recreated. I am glad that a competitor has emerged and they are getting to work on improving the games of that saga with more historicity and depth, adding high strategy mechanics, such as historical events and other immersive historical aspects for the campaign. i liked this general ultimate more, because it has a strategic map where you can move your armies, you can do many things that a country has to do in a war, such as resources and everything within a historical logic, with historical events and historical decisions and dilemmas that give depth to the campaign and do not become boring. i'm going to say a thing about the game that I didn't like, but that can still be added, with the hope that the game improves. they could improve the issue of the variety and type of uniforms and historical units to make the battles more historically realistic,i know that in this aspect the ultimates have improved a lot, compared to the previous ones, in detail of the uniforms, variety, historicity and animations, but the historical variety of the types of units can be improved further. i really liked this game, with the amount of new mechanics added, which should continue for future games. the key to why this game is excellent is that it has a historical campaign, with high strategy aspects, that does not cover many years, you cannot make a game of the entire history of Rome with many factions, because the campaign is generalist It becomes boring and loses its historicity. i hope that future ultimates cover specific historical periods, as they have done until now. the ultimate general American revolution has a system of the passage of time on the realistic strategic map and should continue like this for future games. it is another reason not to make games with campaigns that last many years and without a specific historical period. i'm going to give some historical periods that I think would be excellent games for general ultimates. the napoleonic period that goes from Napoleon's coronation as emperor to his defeat at Waterloo, leaving several more years of campaigning in case it is frncia who wins the campaign. with this Napoleonic historical period, they are going to have to be thoroughly used in the design of uniforms, only the French side, there are line infantry and its variants, light infantry, imperial guard and its variants, cuirassiers, dragons, carabinieri, hussars , lancers, horse hunters and historical and emblematic units such as the queen's dragons of the imperial guard. the Polish lancers, the artillery of the imperial guard, just to mention France, thinking about England and other factions, this game could It will take longer to launch, but it has a period of a few more years for this ultimate, but within the margin of the real-time game system. another ultimate future could be the english civil War with emblematic and historical generals like cromwel,with another system of fighting and military organization of pikes and muskets. within the historical period of pikes and muskets, for another ultimate it could be the 30 years war. Completely varying the fighting system so as not to saturate customers, another future ultimate general could be the Second Punic War, with such emblematic generals as Hannibal Barca, Scipio among many others from that period. the roman civil war between caesar and pompey. the conquest of gaul by cesar. alexander the great's campaign against Persia and India, which with the ultimates battle game system, the great Persian armies can be represented to scale on the battlefield. the war of the kingdom of pontus against rome. there are many historical periods. i'm waiting for this game to be released for steam, soon.

i met darth in a forum of a game saga and always trust the quality of their work,we already know what the AI of that game saga is like and they only improve it by making it cheat. the AI of ultimate general is a decent AI, no cheating and I hope to try this last patch and see if it has improved even more. I liked this game, it has many immersive aspects such as the recruitment system, the historical weapons, the equipment, the historical battles in the campaign, the many generals with their historical portraits and most importantly a decent AI without cheat, negative aspects, I would have liked both the AI and the human player had those troops, equipment and recruitment, in a very detailed strategic map of the conflict zone, with industrial areas, strategic as ferry harpers to make weapons, manpower something as well as ageod games and also that there were different types of historical uniforms and in the recruitment you can see the historical emblems of units like the iron brigade, the tigers of louisiana among many other historical units, then the game would be perfect. i hope to see a napoleon or even another time of pica and musket as the English civil war but already in a dynamic strategic map, of course with a battle sound wraparound and immersive battle sound,where the AI and the human player handle their armies freely and why not find historical battle to rid them that give points of victory or remove them if the player is defeated, with historical units and see the color and variety of the different types of uniforms on the battlefield, would give much more immersion, depth and historicity to the game.

Does this new level of difficulty have bonuses for AI?,If so, I'm not interested,because an AI with bonuses is not a good AI. also breaks the realism and historicity,see units of militia or recruits to win elite or veteran units is quite disappointing,because the moral levels and the stats of abilities of the units are with bonuses. the AI must be without bonuses and prove that it is a challenge for the players.

is important for the immersion the historical uniform and historical name of the units. if the next game is on napoleonic epoch,the appearance of the uniforms becomes essential. Units of cavalry of lancers,carabiniers cuirassiers,husares,chasseur,dragons,emblematic units like the scott greys, the dragons of the queen of the french imperial guard or the grenadiers on horseback Can not be represented with the same model of unit,With the infantry the same happens and with the artillery. In this game to be able to see the uniforms of the tigers of louisiana or the iron brigade between other units would give even more quality to the game.

the campaign of the 100 days of the napoleonic epoch or other epoch the english civil war is very interesting with pike and musket,can add historical events like the creation of the new army of the parliament and that the player can create this army.

with he pacth v68 the AI is playing worst. before of this pach i play the historical battle of second bull run with the confederates and the federal AI play with a battle line,charges,a AI that was a challenge. I returned to play the same historical battle with the same level of difficulty with the pacht v68 and the AI has had horrible behavior,more similar to the AI of the total war napoleon than the AI before. the AI Attack with loose units, no battle lines,,the units advanced interposing each other,While they were massacred by my tropos,t,he units of the AI hardly fired,the AI troops did not do charges. It seemed that he was playing against the AI of a total war,a real disaster. to the developer team,please,review the behavior of the AI with the federal side,In the historical battle of second of the bull run. The AI played so badly that I left the game alone and when I returned I had won the battle without playing it. This did not happen before the v68 patch that has been a disaster for AI. We hope that they solve this problem of AI, even improving it even more.

I have won the battle of shiloh in the middle level of difficulty with the Confederate side easily. I do not think the north will have to remove troops in this patch for this battle. Always play in levels of difficulty where the human player like AI does not receive any type of bonus,to make morale, training and veteran units realistic. Among many other aspects of the campaign, reckon with a good AI,the bonuses are not necessary. I would like each battle to influence the number of troops and armament that the two sides will dispose of in future battles.

do i can move two divisions of my first corps to the new corps?,because i not have more money and recruits available and if that is posible,How can I transfer these two divisions to the new army corps?,thanks.

Do you plan to translate this game into Spanish?,thanks.

iam playing the confederate campaign and i have one corp with four divisions. then in the gaines mill battle have two or more corps for give star button and play the battle and with one corp i not can continue playing the campaing,because i have not money for do other corp with other divisions and this game not can not pass a turn,any solution for this?,thanks.

I buy ultimate general gettysburg and now I bought this game that seems to be an excellent game. I am a player of the total war games since the beginning of the saga and I always miss immersion,historicity,depth and an AI that is a challenge. I believe that here they understand that these aspects are fundamental in a strategy game The management of types of weapons, the recruitment of generals, troop organization and all history gives the game a category never seen in other strategy games. This game still in development can still improve in immersive and historical aspect I would add historical uniforms of emblematic units like the tigers of Louisiana, the iron brigade and many other historical units that have their exclusive historical uniforms Although the game can be seen in a remote panorama, you can see the red cap and red pants of the zouaves and other many units that can appear in the game with their historical uniforms This would make the game win even more immersion and historical realism.. If the team of developers could answer me if they are going to implement the historical uniforms in famous and emblematic units of the united states civil war. For what little I have seen of the game is already a jewel of the strategy that is supposed to improve more until its definitive versión. In addition this game and campaign system may be valid for other future games based on other epoch. congratulation for this game,thanks.

i prefer ancient epoch,epic battles gaugamela,issos,cannae,trebia,cynoscefalos,pydna and many historical battles with historical units and uniforms and the napoleonic epoch with historical units and uniforms.

Waterloo battle,with historical units and uniforms. other option is a game with the historical united states civil war campaing with a strategic map,with historical events in campaign,historical generals and troops with battles Gettysburg game style,with realistic and historical manpower for every faction and only historical units in campaing,not invented regiments,brigades,all historical troops,activated for historical event in its historical date of recruitment in strategic map of the campaing.

i just bought this excellent game,reliying on the work he did darth as modder in the totalwar. said this,as veteran player of the strategy games,consider that the most important aspect of a strategy game is a good AI,a AI can give immersion and realism with logic tactics,battle lines,other than that the game itself in an environment of immersion and historicity,these aspect immersion,realism and historicity are fundamental in a good strategic game. my question is darth,if the game still not finished,to give more immersion and historicity to the game, through a improvement patch add to historical uniforms to the various units of the two armies,especially the most emblematic as the iron brigada,stonewall brigada,the tiger of louisiana,the 20th Maine regiment between other historical units? i think that this will give color to the battlefield,more realism and historicity and the player may feel more immersion with the units with their historical uniforms. waiting darth your answer,i congratule you on this wonderful game,that this serie continues with more historical battles of this epoch and other epoch as the napoleonic or even the classic rome. this serie ultimate general may be more prestige with the time.
