While I tend to prefer faster paced strategy games, Ultimate General was a fresh breath of air -- for a very short time. UG tested my patience. While the small sprite graphics are charming at first, I soon realized I had no indication of why certain troops were totally dominating another one. Even troops with hillside advantage and numbers can be mowed down for no real reason. The game needs to do a better job of visually indicating clear advantage or disadvantage. Computer AI is a lacking as well. Many times I'll try to move a troop to another location or to fight the enemy, but they'll just stand there idly by. All of the troops start to blend into each other since they look so familiar. Zooming is almost useless. I gave it a shot.
