Description
Ultimate General: Gettysburg is a Tactical Battle Simulator that allows you to lead thousands of soldiers in the famous Battle of Gettysburg as commander of either the Union or Confederate army. The game features the most accurately created map, complex morale, innovative control mechanics and smart AI. You have the freedom to use different strategies while the battle progresses. Your decisions and military performance play a crucial role in the result. Lead your army and win the Battle of Gettysburg!

It has been voted as Best Strategy Game of 2014 by PCGamesN.

Smart AI Commanders
Ultimate General: Gettysburg does not use “AI gameplay cheats” because it does not need them. The game’s difficulty is accomplished only by nine distinctive AI personalities, each with their own advantages and special skills. AI Commanders are able to evaluate and gain tactical superiority in real time, reacting according to their different commanding skills, aggressively or defensively, heroically or cunningly and resemble different, competent human players.

Each one of the AI generals is a formidable, non-scripted opponent who can actively try to flank you, secure strategic locations with artillery, keep reserves and reinforce areas that it attacks or defends. The AI will try to win the battle with tactics that fit to its personality. For example a defensive opponent may not attack ferociously in the first engagement and progressively advance its forces in the next battles.

What players say: “Fantastic AI - don't know what kind of brain you put in this game but it works”

Detailed Map of Gettysburg
Utilizing satellite images and historical maps, every major location, house, ridge and hill are depicted as accurately as possible within the game’s unique art style. If you are an American Civil War enthusiast, you will be especially happy to notice the amount of precision and information that the map provides. Not only will you be able to better understand the historical layout of the map, you will also be able to make use of each location and landmark in battle, thanks to the simulation of cover, concealment, terrain and high ground in the game.

What players say: “Incredible Gorgeous Map - I had to capitalize that because this map is by far one of the best maps of Gettysburg I have ever seen either in a game or even in books”

Numerous Tactical Factors
In Ultimate General: Gettysburg, you will realize that army units are not “machines” that blindly follow orders, but they need to conserve strength and courage for decisive battle actions. Every basic tactical element that is expected for a strategy game is incorporated into gameplay. Most importantly, morale is affected by many factors including flank or rear attacks, casualties, volley shocks, artillery fire and fatigue.

What players say: “... positioning of units matters. You really bring the struggles of 19th century warfare to life here”

Ultimate General: Gettysburg is developed by Game Labs and designed by Nick Thomadis, known for his successful and popular “DarthMod” series.
  • Lead thousands of soldiers as commander of either the Union or Confederate army vs 9 smart AI Generals.
  • Draw movement arrows to create maneuver and flanking paths as in old history books.
  • The battle is divided in phases and can last up to 4 days. You take strategic decisions that lead to countless speculative scenarios.

Not even a game

I can't even call this a game. It's more like what an amateur game developer would smush up to get the creative juices going while developing a real game. And it's not even fun considering that.

Horrible on every level

Having played Sid Meier's Civil War, I can safely say that all tactical and strategic elements present are missing in this game. Units retreat and regroup randomly, sometimes mere seconds after changing stance. No way to measure morale and nothing will prevent a unit from randomly retreating from an inferior enemy dispite having flank and rear support. You will often end the game without many casualties... which does not make any sense since Gettysburg was the worse battle fought on US soil. I'm pretty sure many of the comments are either paid for or fake.

An American still believes in freedom.

I bought this both because I have heard that it is an excellent game from a reputable source, and because of the startling shift in appreciation of freedom in the Unites States of America. Freedom of speech is at stake. The things that make us great, that separate us from the rest. Fascists ban things, communists ban things, tyrants, dictators, oligarchs, they all ban things. Here is is supposed to be different. Here we are supposed to be free. Freedom!
