Grand Tactician: The Civil War (1861-1865)

An American Revolutionary War sequel/spinoff?
Once/if all the bugs, issues, and updates have been sorted out with this game. Could we at some point way on down the line perhaps see a game set during the American Revolution?

I ask as there's really nothing available for the war besides an old turn-based game by John Tiller that was updated and re-released by WDS

Ultimate Admiral has a selection that involves the American Revolution. It's fun to play and immersive, Not as detailed or versatile as GTAMC.

Isn't Ultimate Admiral age of sail mostly a naval game? I don't thing there were too many big naval battles between the Royal Navy and the young US navy besides small scale raids by American privateers.

UG 1775 is allegedly in the works. But Darth sold the company, sooooooooooooo

Had no idea that Darth (Nick Thomadis) was no longer the boss man at Game Labs. I wonder what he’s up to now.

Yes, UA is primarily a Navel game, but there are several Navel plus Land engagements or Navel amphibious engagements, that are just plane fun to play. Note I did say that GTACM is much more detailed and versatile than UA. I am also saying that even though UA is primarily a navel game at lease you have both active player involvement in Navel Action and Land Battles.

How do the naval and land battle's stack up, is there a playable British faction, and is there skirmish mode to fight any of the sea or land battles I want Or can I only do that in campaign mode? Seeing as development has more or less come to a halt with this game and there's no mission/campaign editor, that's gonna be a deal breaker.

Still working on Game Labs in creating the Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts.

The Navel Battles are better than the Land Fights but my option fun. Three campaigns British , Early American, and Barberie Coast (DCL). British campaign mostly French and Spanish but some of the American Revolution. American involves mostly British, Barberie Coast Pirates. Yes there are individual Land and Sea Battles and a Costume Land and Sea Battles. It is what it is. Unlike GTACW you take on the persona of one of the Great Navel leader of US or Brit and can customize said leader. Where it is similar to GTACW there are several items in the game that can be developed and/or customized to conduct operations as you see fit. Again it is what it is.

Ageod's Birth of America 2 is an old game, but still very good - albeit without a tactical battle module

Nothing more to say UA is just fun play

GameLabs is developing a grand strategy game set in the American Revolutionary War, see here:

I would say the chances of the devs creating an American War Of Independence game based on this engine at some point are around 99.5% lol
