Revolutionary tactics.

<span class="bold">Ultimate General: Gettysburg</span>, an effortlessly simple and unbelievably tactical simulator, is available now for Windows (with Mac OS X and Linux versions coming soon), DRM-free on GOG.com with a 33% launch discount.

<span class="bold">Ultimate General: Gettysburg</span> is what you'd get if you took deep, complex, intelligent AI and systems - and wrapped them in a simple, user-friendly package. It's the perfect balance between historical authenticity and open-ended tactics, it's accessible but infinitely capable. There are no AI difficulty cheats here, each opponent is modeled to work within a certain set of rules and every advantage it can ever get - you can too. The same brilliant AI design allows you to focus on the grand tactical scheme of things without having to babysit and micromanage your units. <span class="bold">Ultimate General: Gettysburg</span> is a Civil War enthusiast's dream, with a detailed, historically accurate map of Gettysburg that's yours to utilise (and learn about). It's also a game that isn't held back by an unrelenting drive to become a bloated battle simulator.

Participate in the ultimate Civil War reenactment in <span class="bold">Ultimate General: Gettysburg</span>, available now, DRM-free on GOG.com! The launch discount will last for one week, until Thursday, June 4, at 9:59 AM GMT.

Smannesman: Not for me, but probably interesting for the history buffs.
I like the look of it though, probably the first of its kind that didn't make me sick when looking at the screenshots.
Agreed, gorgeous screenshots! The American Civil War has never been a personal favourite era of mine but the game looks interesting. I'll probably wishlist it and see if I'm interested the next time its on sale.

Is this the game developped by one guy? Heard good things about it from people who know better than I! :P

I think Darth is the main designer, I don't believe he is the only one though...

I'm excited for this one. Truthfully, I was hoping for Sierra's Gettysburg game, but this looks good too!

Interesting. So this is likely to have a pretty challenging AI then?.

Looks great, but specs are probably a bit high for me. Wishlisted.

There seems to have been a lot of work done to the AI before and after release based on the patches, Darth is big about not having a "cheat" like system that makes the AI appear good when it really sucks, something Total War is known for. He took that out in his mods.

Why did you have to do this GOG? I love these types of games, but I have to avoid them like the plague because I just don't have the time to play them. I must have over 20 boxed strategy games that I've barely touched.

This game does look great, especially if the AI is at least half decent. I'm going to try and satisfy my cravings for it by wishlisting it for the moment.
