Also wasn't a huge fan of how the army variations perpetuate some of the lost-cause myths.
felt too arcade-y for me
Did you try the highest difficulty? What was arcade-y about it?
Highest difficulty UG:CW just punishes you for doing well.
It was one of the first games my older brother bought for our PC, in a pack with Caesar II and Lords of the Realm II. Little stupid me never figured out the first thing about how to actually play the damn thing (not that I would be any better now, strategy isn't my thing), but I really liked the little FMV clips from battle reenactments that played with every attack, even if there were only a handful of them.Hopefully it'll be as good as Sierra's Civil War Generals 2 was (which I really wish was available on GOG, because I freaking miss having that game), because CWG2 was THE best tactical US Civil War game.
Remember En Garde!, that promising little graduation project about swashbuckling and physycs shenanigans? Well, the team behind it has reunited to form their own studio and, judging by the gifs on their Twitter account they're still very much in a swashbuckling mood and planning to do something in a similar vein. I'll be keeping an eye on them.
I was hoping those guys would keep making games. That's great to hear.Remember En Garde!, that promising little graduation project about swashbuckling and physycs shenanigans?

“We were optimistic but we couldn’t have predicted this level of excitement,”
>Offer literally free game
>Summer, everyone is at home, most house-bound year in human history
>About 5% of the people who have heard of total war get it
"wow so much excitement great to see the enthusiasm of our fans!!"
It's been claimed 7.5 million times but less than 5% of those will likely still be playing it in a month.
