Is it the best strategy game that has ever been released? How is it so good, bros?
>your army can be rebuilt and resupplied between each battle
Is there another game that's like it? Made after 2020, because fuck older games.. It's too bad American Revolution sucked so much.

>>2053521 (OP)
Too bad the game suffers from absolutely nonsensical enemy army scaling. I get it should be slightly unrealistic to real life for the purpose of game, but wiping out entire enemy armies does absolutely nothing since the enemy can replace all the men lost, plus adds additional several thousands for the next battle.

That being said, the game is still very fun, especially the Confederate campaign. Might replay it again soon.

>>2053581
That's pretty much what happened.
>troops go down to the docks
>oi where ye from?
>noice anyway you're conscripted don't run off now
That's why they don't let you buy your way out of getting drafted anymore, humorously enough.
>lincoln says alright lets start conscription
>richfags would just buy their way out because you could do that
>damn we still need bodies because apparently the confederates are terminators or someshit
>increase the payment required to get out of it
>richfags just pay it again
>ok now you gotta pay someone else to take your place AND now we're gonna pay people to enlist
>cleverfags start enlisting over and over and over because in those days there wasn't homeland security, some of them earning the equivalent of 100K today
>OK LISTEN NO MORE OF THAT
>draft riots suddenly break out after richfags can't get out of being drafted anymore
People don't really understand how closely fought the civil war actually was and the sheer amount of fresh meat the union just threw in the grinder. There were fresh armies appearing basically overnight and is why in ACW games the confederates tend to have higher quality troops.

>>2053581
i only played the one confederate campaign, if you play as the union, is it not still the same thing? the enemy having limitless reserves and always outnumbering you?

>>2055743
Not in my experience. Union has more, but worse, troops. That tends to be the case no matter what game you play, from Sid Meier's Gettsyburg! to Grand Tactician: The Civil War.

>>2055654
>That's why they don't let you buy your way out of getting drafted anymore, humorously enough.

he doesn't know...

>>2055743
Yes.

Man I should continue playing this

>>2055756
Education deferments don't really count since back in those days a boomer could just flip burgers for the summer and have enough cash to live in the frat house during fall and spring semesters.

>>2055970
Even now, the wealthy fled ukraine while the poor remained. Nothing changes dude.

>>2055985
>Ukraine
I genuinely do not give a shit. This is an American board and we are talking about the American draft. Ukraine is a money laundering scam, piss off back to /pol/ with that shit. No one fucking cares about your slav slap fight anymore, just want you to know.

>>2055995
you are fake as fuck. this kind of vehemence is completely antithetical to your feigned indifference. you are, for some reason, invested in the ukraine war and it's incredibly pathetic of you to to pretend that you're not.

>>2056008
I'm invested in that I wish you fuckheads would stop bringing it up every single fucking chance you get. Go and stay go. It's not relevant to the discussion at hand, but you can go to /pol/ where it is very relevant to whatever idiocy they're spewing out at the moment.

gtfo

>>2056017
cope, faggot. when people don't care about something, they don't get angry and aggressive when it gets mentioned.
you are a pathetic cowardly rat crybaby. have some self-respect and end this charade now.

>>2056021
I'll end it after you end your life. I hope your house gets bombed and your sister gang raped to death by farm animals.

>>2056027
that's a very sane and neutral thing to say

It's UG: American Revolution good yet?

>>2056067
Not really. For anything decent you have to venture into grognard territory.

>>2055750
>to Grand Tactician: The Civil War.
I find confederate troops much worse in that game because the union has better guns, meaning they always outrage and win every battle.

>>2056213
Nice guns you have there. Be a shame if someone took them from you.

>>2056213
>I find confederate troops much worse in that game because the union has better guns, meaning they always outrage and win every battle.
>he hasnt deployed the mississippi rifle battalions
lol

>>2056491
I only play career mode, I have no control over that.

My GPU somehow got filtered by this fucking game

>>2056067
Considering it's been abandoned, no

>>2053581
The AI has its core army that carries over from mission to mission just like the player's, and it also has a number of extra units that it gets each mission. If you really hammer them every mission they won't be able to keep up and you will start to notice their veteran units being undermanned at the start of new missions. The extra units they get are less experienced but fully reinforced, so the overall quality of their troops decreases as well. What I don't know is whether the number of extra units is set in stone or if it varies based on various factors.

KILL THEM ALL

>>2062344
FIRE AT WILL

>>2056597
You can pay out of pocket for weapons.

>>2062767
Really? How?

>>2062771
I believe you right-click, but it's been a bit since I've played the game. I remember spending stupid amounts of money for other units' artillery and our own repeaters/bolt actions just so we wouldn't get bamboozled by union human wave tactics.
>steam running slow as shit despite 9950x3d and 64gb RAM
Weird. Guess it decided to update a bunch of mods or something. I recall officer mode having jank-as-shit weapon unlock protocol and if you got lucky at the start (and started as a cavalry officer) you could rack up a lot of prestige and influence tech progression.

>>2062777
Right click on what?

>>2062786
Units.

>>2062786
>>2062788
There should be a little arrow or something somewhere on the icon.

>mandatory drawn out mission before the campaign screen
Why did they do this?

>>2064267
Strategy game analogue of super cinematic intro

>>2064267
If you ever feel like getting stomped in the balls, wh40k Final Liberation has two mandatory intro missions and the second is almost impossible to beat on hard without playing it perfectly.
