The only stat that should be different between units of the same type should be experience levels in my opinion. If that is even in the game. It's not historically correct to make broad generalizations about Federal and Confederate troops.

I'm interested to read what features from the classic Sid Meier's Gettysburg everyone would like to see in Ultimate General: Gettysburg.Here's a review of Sid Meier's Gettysburg from Giant Bomb. http://www.giantbomb.com/sid-meiers-gettysburg/3030-12709/

I can't help but think that the current UI is designed for an iPad. What's up with that? I hope it's just a placeholder. That's a big no no for a PC game.
-
I don't think the game should give the Federals and Confederates different stats. The thing that should matter is human intelligence in regards to tactics not stats.
-
I agree it's a great start. There's a lot of work yet to do though.
-
I don't even know how to use my skirmishers and cavalry. How do they differ from other units? The game doesn't say.
-
When you click "Fight New Battle" you get a screen with a short description of each side. I don't have a degree in history, but I am a history ners and those descriptions don't sound right to me. I hope the developers hire a real civil war historian to help with the game.
Also for english grammar.
-
That would be a cool option to have.
-
Definitely agree with your post. There really needs to either be a tutorial mission (like maybe on the approach to Gettysburg) or a tutorial mode that can be turned on. And ya, the game devs need to hire a US Civil War historian to help with the game.
-
You know what would be cool. A top down view that shows you the units by their icons. Rome 2 tried this, but it wasn't very useful in their battles because they go so fast.

Yes mine is black too

Riekopo, why are you guessing?
There is an indicator for "Cover" that identifies exactly how much "Cover" you unit has in it's current position.
Ya after I get there, but if I want to know ahead of time then I have to guess.
-
Why not just make ammo an in game option? That would please everyone.
-
Why isn't there a button on the screen for this? Right click is far better than middle mouse click to begin with.
-
I think there should be a map mode that shows the different cover types and their effects. Because right now I'm just guessing.
-
Agree with all posts.
-
If they're all created already then just give us an in game option to choose what style we want to use.
-
The game should definitely have speed options. I think Sid Meier's Gettysburg had it.
-
On the website there are game pictures of the smoke effects. I will post one below. These smoke effects look way better than anything I've seen in game. Can someone explain this? Also I think we should be able to select what flag types/UI style we want because I favor the one shown below.
-
I like your surrender option.
-
Very good points. I think that all the commands should be available to the player on the screen in a convenient location. Right now it feels like a tablet UI. Like Total War Rome 2's.
-
I thought ammo was going to be in the game. It doesn't make sense for units to have infinite ammo.
-
For me it is just super hard to find lines of sight and proper elevation for batteries.
Agreed 100%. I wish there a some kind of map mode that could be activated that lets you see your units line of sight and the terrain types. It's especially hard to discern because it's 2D.
A great ACW indie game or a ACW simulator?

Ya it's a fairly simple game in its current state. The player doesn't have much control over the details like say Sid Meier's Gettysburg or Sid Meier's Antietam or Scourge of War.
