This game is terrible

[Bram]

Having played the game. This game is very very overpriced. Its insanely buggy and bordering on unplayable at the moment. The deployment phase is non existent. Your artillery will be placed in front of your army, so you lose it. Capturing stuff is about impossible or totally bugged. I've captured plenty guns, ships etc but especially for the ships. They just disappear..

The units do not respond or get stuck non stop. You are very very unit capped. This makes it so you cannot play this very strategically. Bordering on unfair. Unit replenishment is bugged, broken and retarded. Getting all those units into a city is very very finicky. Half the time units will not enter a city but do get the button.

Etc etc etc. DO NOT BUY YET, its very very bad..

Generals,

Game refunds for non-Steam versions are handled by Xsolla.

The refund policy is very similar to Steam's.

A user is eligible to return the game if it has been played for less than two cumulative hours and if the return is requested within fourteen days of purchase.
Both conditions must be met for the return to be considered valid.

Dear players If you want to purchase this game, be careful. This game is still raw and not playable.
Even if your computer is not so powerful and you see that the game slows down on minimum settings and you do not get the pleasure that you would like to get from the game, keep in mind this company Game- Labs and the Xsolla company will not refund your money.
It’s better to wait on Steam, where you can immediately return the money if you don’t like the game..
Best regards

I've been playing the game for about four weeks and I'm really enjoying it. Battles are very much like Civil War but smaller, as you would expect from that conflict. Apart from the 30,000 troops arriving at New York. Overall game play is complex and demanding compared to previous games, I'm still discovering things such as the benefit of supply wagons. Transporting provisions and ammo from City to City, Fort to Fort.
Over camping will significantly reduce your forces, something that needs to be watched for. Shortage of officers, funds, materials also have a detrimental impact on your ability to fight any sort of campaign. British troop numbers can be intimidating and frustrating and the fact they can be quite passive ( Drawing them out and trying to kill them seems to be rule of thumb. If they take the bait) That is until they smell an opportunity.
Overall this is my type of game. It has huge potential. With Britain being added to the game it's maybe not too much of a stretch for Europe to be added at some point.
I think Gettysburg and Civil War are brilliant games (Multi player not withstanding).
I bought the General addition of AR to help support the Developers and the game knowing that it wouldn't be available on Steam. So far no regrets Reading some of the comments I feel vindicated.
One more thing. If you have feed back, positive or negative put it in the Discord. Closed profiles are the bane of every forum I've ever been on and should be banned.

So when in all that do they actually produce a finished game?

When it's no longer in Early Access, and it's reached version 1.0. A game can still be developed whilst having been fully released. Usually anything post 1.0 would be stuff that wasn't necessary for the core game.

I just played the battle of Boston on easy, roughly 10,000 men. Game ran perfectly. More than I can say about my performance. Having said that my furthest into the war, February 1776, so there is hope. Aiming to survive to the next map expansion and those huge sea invasions around New York. 30,000 men.

I'm okay with supporting this game because Ultimate General Civil War is an awesome game. I didn't think much of it after one or two hours of play. That's because I jumped in and did not even try to learn or understand the game.

However, two days ago I had the itch to play an American Civil War game. I browsed the shop and my library and decided to give Ultimate General Civil War another try. This time I Read through the game information, and understood the basics on and off the field. It has been so much fun.

I have no doubt they will make this game just as good. I am happy to support the developers as there are too few games like this and they have a good track record.

Time and patience (and money).

Quick Silver gives his thoughts on the latest build and some news regarding the British campaign. Something I didn't expect and I've not seen anything to confirm it. A surprise if true.

Looks total arcade compared to Grand Tactician Civil War - I hope this is only a wrong impression?

Different time period and different style. My preference is for Ultimate General. But ultimately it's whatever floats your boat

Not at all arcade.

Nonsense

I read through this long thread. The dust settles.

I still am looking forward to the game's release. Big time.

No, I'm not related to or working for the developer. I'm just one consistently optimistic gamer who likes history and geography. This game could turn out to be a favorite.
