MY HONEST TAKE: Is Ultimate General: American Revolution Worth It?

The Ultimate General Series has come a LONG way, and now with American Revolution we finally have an actual campaign! Plenty of great stuff here and I have had a blast in my playthroughs so far. There are still lot's of improvements to be made & features/mechanics to be added in but overall I love it! What do you think? Let me know in the comments below!

Still can't believe that Darth after fixing Total War games is making his own games. Thank you for the video!

Give me the map of Europe and the South Amercias/India and we'll have a solid Empire II.

We still have another decade until Creative Assembly will finally give us Empire: Total War II, so i'm looking forward to this one.

In civil war, we had the time to manage each units because there was 4000 figther by units. It was fun to make strategic move on one side without worriing too much on the other side of the battle. There was no micro management. I hope it will be the same, keep it simple the battle not like Total war where we need to check each units every 10 seconds. By the way, great review ! Always a pleasure to see such content. This game will be mine this year with manor lord too

I’d love if they expand the game and allow us to play the American Indian wars where we have the British,French,Russian, Americans, and Mexico Vs All the Native American people as you try to build your own Native nation and fend off the invading Nations on your land

I understand we all want everything now, but it seems to me the devs are going in the right direction. I have no idea of their roadmap but, looking at their games published, seems to me they are adding more things with each game and expanding the scope. That gives me hope for a real Empire TW successor in the future. 🤞

I still play UG:CW with mods. That game was so beautiful and had so much raw potential I'm very excited about this one and it looks like the developers have learned a lot from their past releases and might be onto something special here

Been waiting for this. This game is on my wishlist, but I've been hesitant to pull the trigger. Seems I've been correct to wait.

Looking forward to the map expanding to the midatlantic and southern colonies. Can’t wait to muster in the Maryland Line.

I'm just happy to see Darth take on the mantle of TW and improving and finetuning, adding new gameplay elements iteration by iteration.

As someone who played every UG and UA games, i have to admit that i got my ass handed right back to me in the first 20 hours before I got a hang to it. And I love it ! My tipp for every new player is, grab a ton of militia and encircle the shit out of the red coats, also hurry up to get to the northern parts conquered (on easy and normal it can be done before winter). And also watch out for Benedikt Arnold ofc. ^^

This game is not for everyone right now. But by steam release it will be. I've been enjoying Civil War (JnP rebalance mod) for almost 2 years. Still haven't finished a campaign because I learn a lot and start over with that knowledge. Incredibly deep game that captures the combat of the era and decision making of a high level officer better than anything else I've seen. I'll play this once it gets fully up to snuff, but I can attest this franchise is worth a look. Glad to see you like the Admiral series. Naval combat is not my thing, but glad to hear it's well done. I'm sure I'll sink a few British when the time comes. 🚢

Looks good enough for me. Hope we can mod troop size eventually

I just tried it out recently. It still seems a bit undercooked but it IS still in early access. Coming from UG Civil War where the maps are pretty good, the maps in UG AR are a bit dull and uninteresting. But I do enjoy the town/city management and the much deeper military management. Hopefully, the battle portion of the game will be more fleshed out upon full release.

If the battles were less "blobby" which is hard to explain, and the scale was global, then I would be 100% interested. I guess we all really want a proper empire 2. And by the way, as someone who is passionate about this era, yhe ships atr so much better and more realistic than in total war empire and napoleon. Like seriously. I actually just auto the naval battles there because the ships are wrong. Total War land battles are great though. Not really "blobby" like ultimate general

Yeah capturing enemy weapons is always a big part of this kind of warfare. Especially if an army or outpost surrenders. I'm sure there were soldier on both sides of the war IRL using guns requestioned from the enemy. Hell some Southern soldiers in the US Civil War were using weapons that had been in their family after being captured from the British during the Revolutionary war. I just hope we get to develop something along the lines of the Ferguson Rifle in this. Sure it will be expensive and slow to produce but its great for small forces outnumbered if you can get enough.

Whatever the issues, this game is still this companies first steps into the true sandbox world of total war and I think they are knocking it out of the park! Love these guys, their games have been my favorite historical war games of the past few years

take note this is how a game should be made and something people actually want

I think from the experience the company's built up thus far, an ultimate general Napoleon would be a sick game. With the vast number of troops like UGCW has plus the real time campaign element would be amazing.
