Alright, Loyalist, go back to your tyrant you Tory, you and your precious redcoats with ya. You would have priggered Paul Revere's horse if you had half the chance, traitors to your country and to liberty itself you are. Only true, freedom loving patriots allowed in this thread. God bless America, and God bless General George Washington in our war for independence.
Thats probably the next game. UG:CW was when they built the land system, Age of Sail the naval system, American Revolution is basically a beta test of makibg those systems work with the new campaign overlay. Napoleon will be next.
I've been returning to UG games and UA: Age of Sail (never bothered with Dreadnoughts) and for some reason they always have something great which makes me return and something else silly which makes me drop them. It's a vicious cycle.
It's not even Early Access on Steam, you can only buy it on the devs site atm. It's limited to 1775 and the Americans afaik. They plan to make the Brits playable and add every year of the war but it still is a long road ahead.
I'm just waiting for the Brits' campaign since I like alt hist. Wonder if you could like kill historical figures or if they'll be gay like TW and only allow you to "wound" them.
I killed Gage as he was running from Boston. In fact, you can lose the game if your Washington character dies.

The campaign portion is currently undercooked but it's showing real promise. I especially like not being able to see my own units due to fog of war. It's an interesting challenge. I hope the messenger system is robust and fleshed out.
The battles are smaller scale but that makes sense due to the nature of the war especially at the current early period.
The battles themselves currently lack the finer control that was in ugcw but I don't think it's the 3d, age of sail or whatever it was called had decent land battle control and I would assume ugar will get there as it's fleshed out more.
Overall I would recommend it at the moment only if you really enjoy the series and really would like to help support the dev.
What I'm most excited for is if this all comes together in a coherent manner all the other games that would be amazing in this style. Imagine a napoleonic wars game where you're napoleon himself and you know shits going wrong in Spain but the messages are all the info you get unless you're there personally.
I like the idea that the two factions play differently, IIRC they wrote somewhere that the British will have to rely on shipments from Europe a lot. Not sure how to feel about the unit sizes though. The long back and forth between large brigades was my favorite part of CW, hope the battles aren't over so quickly when you just have a bunch of company-sized units running around everywhere.
Yes but it's one of the few games that captures maneuver warfare
No, I have $1.16 in my bank account.
Hahahha peasant I have 1.79 EUROS
Mega?

Loyalist campaign when
Does this actually have a campaign layer or do your actions really not matter in the end like with civil war?
Never played a UG Game, should I get this or Civil War?
get civil war because AR is a pre release build
how does it compare to UGCW? Strategic map seems like it could be really good or really annoying

no wonder there is no pirate version anywhere
It's coming.

Oh cool. So the Brit's goal might be to hunt down Washington or something instead of just trying to defeat the Americans through pure combat.

>No British campaign
No thanks

the battles look worse than the ones in CW.

Also, no Hessians, no buy.
