It plays like a age of empire 2, but it's wild west setting with a nice sepia colorstyle, historical campaign and even a level editor.
It's fun to play it despite some features which are not clearly explained which are interesting such as moral or experience for the units, or the robbery.
It would need a community to patch it and make it run like before on modern machines while fixing bugs.
I wish the game could be more known and explored because it worthes it
If you want to have fun playing a classic early 2000s RTS game, then America: No Peace Beyond The Line is that game. I played this game a lot when I was a kid. To me, what made this game fun to play was how certain units of each faction had certain abilities; like herding livestock, being capable of seeing camouflaged units or spike pits, or hijacking transport wagons and robbing banks or Catholic missions. This game is sort of unique, a lot of other games are either settlement building/management or just action, this game is a hybrid of the two. I remember that in a lot of the missions, you had to establishment a new settlement or expand a small existing one, defend your settlement from attacks from the other factions, and go achieve the mission objective, which usually was you train a militia or a small army and go "take out" the leader of another faction or destroy the headquarters building. When your civilian units take wood to the sawmill or food to the farm, those resources are automatically in your inventory, but when they take gold to the gold warehouse, transport wagons have to haul the gold from the gold warehouse to your headquarters building in order for you to get the gold in your inventory. There is a risk that your transport wagons could be hijacked by another faction, but you can hijack their's as well. Rifles and horses are also resources in the game. I do remember that there were a few minor glitches in this game, but they never bothered me a lot. I have not played this game in many years and yearn to play it again. I have tried to download this game from other lesser known websites, but the download would not even start with any of them. If GOG can blow the dust off of this good old classic and bring it back to life, I would greatly appreciate it and I am sure a lot of other folks would too.
I loved this game!! I used to come home from school and play this every day. I put hundreds of hours into this when I was a kid. I thought this was on GOG already and was disappointed when it wasn't. I have been looking to play this game again for years.
A beloved childhood game, and it definitely could use some help to run on modern machines.
I loved playing as the Mexican faction, they had the biggest cannons.
If it's able to be brought to GOG, do make sure to get the expansion since it has a lot of game balance and engine fixes!
I enjoy age of empires esque games, and this one was just what made me think, as a kid, that games can do really well in this format! I love strategy and the theme of wild west RTS is such a rare oddity that there is nothing else like it out there, and probably never will. Its next to impossible to find a physical copy now nor to buy it online for any website so this would just bring back hundreds of hours of nostalgia back to me and for many more of the lovers for this genere
Totally underrated!!! Best RTS ever imo. 4 very unique factions. You can mount/unmount on horses, and camouflage soe indian units as a bush.
Want to play with my wife in LAN.
I've read about this game some time ago.
I think I've tried a demo once but it ran so bad on my system back then I was unable to play it.
Looks very interesting and may need the GOG treatment.
Played it as a kid after school with friends or alone. It has a unique style and setting with similiar mechanics.
I want it on GOG because I think it deserves to be here , its a gem !
Please make it happen , both sides would win ;) !
