  1. Yeah in this game you can't do that. This game has a much smaller budget and team, and they can't afford an engine like that at present. There's also the fact that Total War deals with substantially smaller battles. Essentially, you're trading Total War's Incredible cinematic flair for far more tactically deep and larger scale simulation, produced on a lower budget :). Personally, I find this game far more satisfying.
  2. Ah! lol I thought so I doubt it, I think its less a case of changing their minds and more a case of requiring a totally different game and engine. Maybe the next Ultimate General (here's hoping!)
  3. Ummm...are you sure? This seems to be the exact opposite of what they said they were doing, unless I'm extremely mistaken.
  4. Oh seriously!? I thought they were referring to the Battle of Richmond (ie end of the Third Battle of Petersburg) and The Battle of Fort Stevens (on the outskirts of Washington). Actual full battles in the respective capitals is a neat idea...but I'd be kinda disappointed not to see the Union campaign at Appomattox Courthouse. The Federal pursuit along the Appomattox was one of the Civil War's most extraordinary campaigns. I suspect I'll be happy either way.
  5. Sorry, I meant having units rout into enemy units. Having my brigades following enemy units when I didn't mean for them too is something I've had happen frequently
  6. I really haven't encountered this bug much in UG:CW (as opposed to UG:G where it was a bit frequent). I'll keep my eye out for it happening.
  7. Ahahaha, man that sucks! Did they at least do it gallantly?
  8. How do you blog someone? 1st Vermont has finally exhausted my patience beyond repair.

      Thanks. I couldn't stand to read another one of his ridiculous anti-intellectual posts.

      Meh, clearly I decided not to block.

      No, I don't think Thomas would appreciate that. 

  9. Nick, So, I know its to early to ask when we'll receive the next battle but..... When do we get the next battle???
  10. I like how the OP feels that Nick and Game-Labs should be grateful that he deigned to pay for the game, rather then steal it...the entitlement in that sentiment is suffocating.
  11. Well lesser Focus Testers like myself were granted earlier access to updates for Ultimate General Gettysburg. I played a *very* small role in helping to iron out the last few patches for single player Union campaign. I was kind of a "junior" if you will lol. Basically I played the new beta versions, and tried to summarize my experiences, if I encountered issues, and made moderate suggestions for tweaking. As much as I'd like to pretend I'm a big deal Some of the more talented and experienced war gamers also focused tested UG:CW, though I'm sad to say I was not among them :P. I can't say I've had to much communication with the dev team, besides the occasional message and the occasional special thanks lol. Koro, Lincoln's Mullet, and many others here are far more deeply involved in UG:G and UG:CW. And hangovers really are half the fun ;P.
  12. I've had a few mornings like that at reenactments, that is if you replace the Huey with a light hangover
  13. I'm a Civil War fanatic so I'd love it if they could run this Civil War train as long as possible. That being said, I'll be happy as long as they keep it in the late 18th through to 19th century. I do love that black powder.
  14. I'm not sure this is the right place for this question so I have created a separate thread "New Mechanics" for such queries. However, in the hopes of getting some guidance, I thought I would also ask here. I was wondering if someone could help me understand how to place my men behind cover? I have placed them behind and on top of walls, however they do not take cover behind them and their cover remains low. how do I order them to explicitly take cover behind walls or other obstructions? Thanks!
  15. I wanted to start a thread for those of us trying to understand the new game mechanics. To get the ball rolling, I am wondering how we take cover behind stone walls or other embattlements. I have seen the AI do it, and my men have sometimes started in that position, but I have no idea how to order them to do so. Does anyone have any suggestions or other new mechanics they are struggling with.
  16. First off, let me just calmly say OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!!! Ok...that's out of my system. About to load up steam and get this on my laptop and PC. Nick, I would love to offer my humble services, be they what they are for update testing. Oh. My. GOD!! Mr. Mercanto
  17. My pleasure, I'm glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for saving me some time, I was just about to hunt down that quote for a paper I am writing!
  18. Welcome to the Ultimate General Community DreadedNorwegian! Sadly I do not think any further updates for the game are in the cards. For all of its strengths and weaknesses, this is the game we have. That being said, Game Labs are developing their follow up game Ultimate General: Antietam, which we have to look forward to!
  19. I love this idea! I would be so happy if I could return to V 1.5! I really just wish Game Labs would let me revert to 1.5 . This was my favourite game, and I use to promote it ceaselessly to my friends. When 1.6 came out it was heartbreaking. I loved this game and the patch ruined it. I wish Game Labs would give me my game back.
  20. Nick, I am sorry that some forum users have chosen to conduct themselves so poorly. However many of us who have been very polite in our criticisms, myself included, would truly appreciate a response to our feedback. Before the slew of strange, controversial updates after v 1.5, this game was perfect. Honestly I was amazed it was even being updated. It genuinely breaks my heart to see it in this unplayable state, and for months I haven't been able to bring myself to play what was once my favourite game of 2014 and one of my favourite tactics games of all time. Were I given the option, I would gladly pay to have my copy reverted to its condition in v1.5, and I feel many others would concur with this. Please, Nick and Game-Labs, could you re-release the earlier version of the game and just leave it like that. Your team's commitment to the game has been beyond extraordinary, and you do not, nor did you,, owe us so many updates beyond v 1.5. Its such a pity that all of your hard work and commitment has unintentionally led to the breaking of this game. There is no need to force us to use this poor final version. You don't need to make anymore tweeks, anymore changes, just please give us back what we once had! It was amazing! A sincere and sincerely sad fan.
  21. I really like Grant..... So I'm not %100 sure I can get behind this...
