New American Civil War game with very good AI

**Dunhill** · 07-04-2007, 11:38

The developers continue to provide significant support to this great game (improving the AI speed and strength), and the developers are starting work on a version for the Napoleonic era, which promises to be very good.

The team has won some awards since the start of this post and I reckon this game will be winning some awards next year, as its is a step up from Birth of America in terms of game play.

The support by the developers borders on obsessive compulsive. It's a nice change to be able to have such input into the development of a game on the forums. I guess that comes with the smaller developers who don't pander to the least common denominator and put out a quality game.

Cheers,

Just thought I'd update this post

The American Civil War game won Game of the Year from several respected wargame websites.

Their version of WWI is coming out on the 11th of the 11th, and promises to be as good as the others if not better.

65 dollars PLUS 15 in shipping? Screw that.

WWI sounds good, WWII is way over done, more gamers have killed virtual Nazis than zombies, assassins and wild animals combined.

Digital download is $50, but I never get the boxed versions. By comparison I think Empire TW is more than $50 for pre-purchase, but I think you get a free copy of an older TW version.

I don't mind paying for the service that's provided by AGEOD. However, I must admit this is more of a game for wargamers, the old grognard types with more disposable income. The kind of people who might spend a couple hundred on wargames every year. I'd hate to see my grand total since my first purchase back in the early 70's.

I'm paying for quality of AI and that boardgame feel. These games are maximising the benefit of computers for wargaming. The company also explores areas of conflict that haven't been done to death.

A man after my own heart.
