AegorBlackfyre Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 i spent a lot of time these past days reading about the Crimean war and i think it's setting would be perfect for Ultimate general and it would allow the game to add more diversity to it's flavor, i also picked this war because of the large numbers of battles and the number of countries that fought in that theater. so what do you generals think, what war would you supervise and command ;).

JaM Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 i think Crimean war is way too short for full game.. personally, i kinda hope for Nappy some day with hundreds of battles and lot and lot of campaign possibilities.. and of course, slightly different tactics and units.

michaelsmithern Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 It's a little early to be talking about this kind of thing...although i wouldn't mind either Napoleonic battles or The American War of Independence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre Bolkonsky Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Perfect this one first, worry about the next one later. Just a suggestion. But, 'Napoleon' is the logical next step. IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Mercanto Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, now all of a sudden all i can hear is Tom Hagen riding a huey attack chopper playing Wagner and using his Augustus McCray voice saying his greatest onscreen quote ever: "I love the smell of black powder in the morning".

Speedkermit Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) The napoloenic wars is just too big to cover in just one game. Too many different nations/campaigns/major battles. It would be a massive project. Such a project may have to get split into several games. As a Brit, i'd really like to see a game that focuses on Wellington's (Britain's greatest general) peninsular campaign.

Spanish independence war (peninsular war for englishmen) is indeed one elegant way to make a campaign game on napoleonics maintaining troop numbers manageable.... but I think traslating this system properly to napoleonics is not as straightforward as it seems (as much as I would love seeing that being done). ACW has its own idiosincrasy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anibal barca Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincolns Mullet Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 They could definitely keep up with the ACW theme in their next game and create that dynamic campaign everyone is clamoring for. That would ensure we'd have THE civil war game for the next decade, a replayable masterpiece. Then they can move on to whatever else Hell, I can still play Sid Meier's Gettysburg and enjoy it to the end and that's nearly 20 years old now. Whatever they do though will be just fine and will have my support! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send the developers my regards, loving this game. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War of Independence might work... except... the South Carolina's campaign is going to cause problems for the devs looking at player objectives... b/c Nathan Green lost every battle but won the campaign.

A. P. Hill Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 As an older guy. I remember a military strategy game put out when Microsoft had a gaming division. It was called Close Combat. With graphics much like the current U.G. I would love to see someone take the whole of WW1 or WW2 and make it into an U.G. scenario. Of course ONLY AFTER the entire Civil War is done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
