Grand Tactician: The Civil War (1861-1865)

Over 1800 hours playing this game and I can't get enough... replay ability is off the chain and this game never gets old to me. Don't make a mistake strategy wise or you will be punished. The DLC is also great!

This is a fun Civil War game that allows the player to make national political, strategic military, and battlefield tactical decisions. It all so has the Whiskey and Lemons DLC that lets the player role play a career as an officer progressing from command of a single regiment to the command of an entire army. The AI is a little quirky, but what AI isn't.

Likely the most realistic RTS game out there. Definitely the best musket / line warfare RTS. Biggest flaw is the AI, it sometimes does stupid moves on the battlefield, and very often initiates battles that are guaranteed losses. You generally won't lose a battle if you aren't significantly outnumbered, under supplied or taken heavy moral damage.

I like the depth of the game and the idea of the Whiskey & Lemons DLC, but as an RTS fan, why is there a level of zoom on the map where I don't see any of my unit Icons? Is that supposed to be the cinematic view distance?

There is something here, so ballacheingly close to a really great game in a time period seldom explored, but the clunky controls and UI just holds it back. I get why the controls and the UI is the way that it is i really do, but i think the over emphasis on realism and sheer delay from issuing an order, to waiting for everyone to get that order, to waiting for every unit to get into formation, to finally moving every time you want to make a move with more than one unit is just so...... ehh I get that's its all about the Order of Battle and maintenance of chain of command. and that's cool, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ does it shoot the fun in the foot. Loosen the controls a bit, embrace a slight move away from realism and you'll have a bloody good formula here.

tried to fight my first battle in the game's own tutorial as the Union. Robert E Lee pops up and tells me ♥♥♥♥ about Ewell and to select Jackson and a dozen other things I can't do. Tells me to wait til 1900, I started this NON confederate battle at 0600 so its 20x while I walk across an empty map because the wait obj script refuses to let my enemy spawn. Finally get to the next day after ages of waiting and set my army up to repulse an attack, 25000 rebs walk in behind me while Robert E Lee tells me that "Thank god Ewells here" 10/10, dont bother in the slightest aom mod makes it slightly better but this game in general is just a massive bother to play

The best Civil War game ever made. If you like RTS games but aren't invested in the Civil War, wait for a sale. Can be buggy and is imperfect, and the AI isn't great, but overall it's hugely ambitious and clearly made with a lot of care and passion for the subject matter, which is funny because the devs are European. Definitely keep an eye out for whatever the dev team makes in the future.

no esta en cristiano y es muy complicado. La idea es buena pero podria ser mas sencillo de comprender.
