American Civil War, Blue n Gray Game
Dan have you ever considered creating a North vs South War game from the American Civil War. If it is not to controversial this would be a hit here in the states anyway? The format you have in place would work great! ? )
and remember,wherever your at,there you are
Re: American Civil War, Blue n Gray Game
No way would it be controversial! I love those games!
We should do it sometime, but I think after the WWII.

Thanks!
Josh

Re: American Civil War, Blue n Gray Game
No doubt looking forward to playing WWII it is worth the wait I'm sure! And for reasons I know not it is hard to find a Civil War game. Excited that Dan would consider it one day. This way it gives me time to get the info to him ...Thanks Guys )

I prefer alternative world with alternative timeline
(my Red Alert Strategy / Age of Alerts project, then maybe Age of Tiberium
)

Just think Napoleonic era only better.
We Americans were already using rifled weapons and repeating shots - not to mention ironclad ships!

Re: American Civil War, Blue n Gray Game
Wow this could get complex, I suggest both armies being equal in strength and industry for game sake ) although the north won, the south was more suited for the occasion. I mean we are basically talking about shoe salesman( north) fighting natural born hunters( south) the north had the brawn south had the experience ? Especially at the start
and remember,wherever your at,there you are
Re: American Civil War, Blue n Gray Game
Yes. And the South had Lee and Jackson.
There were very few battles where the North did not have twice as many men and usually way better equipment, but they still lost most of the battles.
As far as units, we can start them just equal, but we will definitely need the battles. (which is one of the things that Daniel mentioned).

North had more tech like revolvers and repeating rifles, but south soldiers were more experienced

Re: American Civil War, Blue n Gray Game
Why would that be controversial? We have crusaders and muslims in some age of strategy campaigns... And I'm honestly kind of sick of the whole "I'm offended thing," not to be mean but butthurt people don't have to play if they don't like it.
And yes, the north had almost all of America's factories, as well as the majority of its population. The South had farms, experience, and honestly they were far more fierce fighters 1. Because they were basically fighting for their own home and territory, and 2. They were fighting for their freedom and existance as a culture. Also, they had incredible generals, possibly some of the best in American history, wheras the North had some that were arguably the worst, until the end of the war once only the good generals remained.
Basically, the very short story with all factors combined: The South had more supplies, more resolve, and more experience, but the North had more manpower and production ability. So the South basically kicked butt until the North finally just out-manufactured them.
PS. While typing this I thought "Age of Generals" would be a very good title. Sounds civil warish

Re: American Civil War, Blue n Gray Game
good idea, these could b map editor units, and a campaign can b made with maps in chronological order of all the battles fought during the civil war
There is no place for false kings here, only those who proves themselves to b the true kings of legend, or serves under me
For I watch over this world looking for those worthy to become kings, and on the way get rid of the fakes and rule over the fools

We cam add them in AOWW? Also if this is real it should have napoleonic wars 2, they go by the same setting and weaponry

Re: American Civil War, Blue n Gray Game
Well
There is quite difference between those wars. Civil war had - railways, common industry, Gatling guns...But it can be merged if the tech tree is done right.

Re: American Civil War, Blue n Gray Game
This is something I would love to be a part of. I knowledge of the subject that would help make this game accurate and a interest in learning the technical aspects of creating it. Having played AoS and the ww2 version I have some ideas that would make the gameplay easy to pick up but challenging so you can not put it down.
The American Civil War was transitional as in it was fought with new weapons and old fashioned tactics. It started with men standing in formation and by the end they were digging trenches. I have read that the rest of the world was shocked by the terrible nature of what has been called the first modern war.
