Love it! But could be improved.
I'm fascinated by the Civil War. So I love this game. But I'll give some good and bad... Good: - Refreshing departure from grand strategy. Unlike the Total War series attempt at both grand strategy and battlefields tactics, UGCW focuses on the battlefield and army management. - Beautiful artwork without attempting photorealism. Only basic computer needed to be enjoyed. - Addicting "just one more battle" game play. - Fun (if not realistic) army management features between battles. Bad: - Needs better modeling of morale (both on and off battlefield). Routing on the battlefield is fairly easily recovered from and brigades (regiments really) will rally fairly easily and march toward their deaths. Battlefield morale modeling could be improved with more likelihood of regimental level surrender when surrounded, complete routing from the battlefield without it always meaning desertion, and more apparent refusal of orders (its unlikely that a brigade would continually route and then rally and charge back toward a position on the battlefield where they just suffered 30% casualties). Morale in Army management could be improved by introducing desertion following battles with high casualties, occational capturing of deserters and options on what to do with deserters. At varying points in the war both sides had extremely high levels of desertion. It was a huge factor in army management. - The enemy never withdraws when the battle is obviously lost in an effort to reduce casualties. It's easy to rack up rediculously lopsided victories by cornering remaining enemy troops at the edge of the battlefield. - Casualties... linked to both of the above criticisms... battles routinely end with 50-75% casualties on both sides. This simply did not happen (at least not routinely). - Friendly fire... troops are eger to fire on their own if a friendly brigade is in midst of melee with enemy - Corps are treated like Brigades, Brigades are treated like regiments in terms of numbers
