Veterans are not only somewhat worth to keep and grow but they are worth their weight in gold as well, their stats are so far superior that it makes it so bloody painful if you screw up and loose one or two of those units. They are literally irreplaceable without sacrificing massively in other venues.

I loved how the campaign switched to trench warfare as the war went on

I wish dudes made something from european wars. Napoleonic, seven year or 30 year wars etc.

Thoroughly played this game 4 times, 2 times in each side. Still entertains me till this day when I load up the occasional save I have for each campaign to replay battles. Speaking of which, you should try Grand Tactician Civil War. It's the combination of Total War and UGCW.

Gotta say brother it's been a real pleasure watching your channel grow and come into the big deal you've grown into. Then you even covered 2 of my mods, the first one I made still one I hold a soft spot for, scouting just wasn't covered in Rome 2, and I think we did a lot to alieviate that with increased expensive agents and then wanting to reduce the large load order we had getting a true 12 turns per year campaign going for divide et impera, increasing the campaign management to paradox levels, and with ultimate 12 turns per year for Rome 2, I really feel we got that right and your spotlights really helped us show off those mods to a greater audience, so while it's been amazing from a fans point of view, it's also been fruitful as a fellow modder out here just trying to get eye balls on our mods, you've been amazing for this community and I'm excited to see these additional games in the grand/real time strategy genre is awesome. I still recommend the hegemony series. There is the first one in ancient greece, or there's the 2nd with Caesars campaigns in gaul, then a full on rise of Rome with 3. There is an amazing mod for hegemony 3, called classical world, which gives you a full on total war sized map to conquer hegemony style which is a really cool blend of grand and real time strategy. At any point on the map at any time, you can zoom out from a grand strategy campaign type map down to a real time layer where you can navigate troops look around for natural terrain advantages to occupy, or push towards, or just build up your cities with. It's a lot of fun. While the troops sizes are not as big as they can get on Rome 2 et all you can still get a large variety of units, and thst classical world mod, the guy sjz has been working on it for over 5 years and added hundreds of units across dozens of factions covering a large period of Antiquity. If you haven't checked it out yet, I really recommend try hegemony 3, rise of the ancients I believe, the standard game covers the rise of Rome across Italy, Sicily, and hopefully Carthage and the Punic wars one day, but with thst classical world mod it covers everything from the middle east to western Europe, just amazing stuff.

1:59 The pronunciation of Shiloh and Antietam were kinda funny to me lmao

Wow man! So glad to see you recommending the series again. Maybe they'll be more likely to crank out their planned American Rev game with some more fans begging for it.

Tempted to get this just to support the guy who gave us a mod I continue to enjoy very much.

I really loved playing this game, what a great gem, never played anything like it and I had a great time.

Underrated 🐐 I'm glad you highlighted the AI. I'm always impressed by the computer. I'll think it's blundering, then I realize it traded 200 musket recruits for 10 of my heavy cannon, and I'm like damn I wouldn't have thought of that.

In a sense Ultimate General is what I wanted Total War Empire and Napoleon to be.

The way you pronounced the historical battles reminded me of that Key & Peele subsitute teacher skit. "YA DONE MESSED UP A-A-RON" lol

Man this reminds me of my childhood playing sid meiers civil war. Went and got a cheap gaming laptop just to play this and the great war western front.

Absolutely one of my favorite games of all time! I bought their next title even though I don't have a PC to play it on just because I loved what the devs did with UG:CW.

I just got the game in sale and it's amazing I haven't stopped playing it .please make more :)

One of things I love about this game - especially for the Confederacy - is the importance of reorganizing your corps between battles. Some battles you want high ratios of cavalry - as in Gettysburg, for example - while others you want virtually none, as in 2 Bull Run. In that at least, "strategic" choices between battles are enormous. In general the AI plays remarkably well, though it can be suckered into useless piecemeal attacks. Also, It's possible to win every battle on either side (though I found Antietam for the CSA as by far the hardest). Thanks for a great review!

Hey there Terminator! Belated "welcome back"! As much as I always appreciate and enjoy your Total War games mod reviews, it is great to see you expanding your reviews into other games as well! Thanks to your recent Age of Sail game review, I discovered, while searching for it on Steam, Ultimate General- Gettysburg and UG-Civil War. The price was right so bought both on an impulse without knowing much about either one and so was thrilled to see your very positive UG-Civil War review today. Although Gettysburg is an older title, I have to say that it is a lot of fun too and on sale for on $1.89 CDN! :) Apparently UG-American Revolution is planned for a 2023 release date so the fun just keep on coming! Keep up the great reviews!

Ultimate General: Civil War 9/10 J & P Rebalance mod: 11/10 J&P Historical Submod by adishee: 100/10 I still have my yearly playthrough attempt of it xD its awesome

I really this series is gonna get way better in the future. Imagine the merging of Ultimate General and Ultimate Admiral series

Shy-Law, An tee tem, and chickamaga.

Absolutely love this game! Got into Pike and Shot: Campaigns this week, and I wish that developer would turn that into this! Wonderful games both, but UG:CW looks and feels slicker.

Earned a subscriber.

You know what, total war (in a linear warfare sense) needs to add this customization of soldiers aspect by a digression instead of just using the “best”. The user can decide the weapon of the unit and maybe even the gear. Cheaper soldiers will have older weapons or weapons that are easier to make and less effective, say the user wants an effective modern infantry: they’d use more modern rifles, or even a more elite unit with the best or close to best weapons available.

I have played ultimate general Gettysburg on my iPad and now got it on my Nintendo switch!

I still think when it comes strategy and tactic caesar and aurelian (third century aurelain) come to top of my mind...they always adapted and overcame obstacles.

Great game. Wish they would add a "retreat by recoil" feature for artillery as they had in Sid Meier's Gettysburg.

Got it with this summer sale, loving it so far.

Great review, the AI is fun as it will punch through gaps unlike total war where they will just walk in one long line lol

Love this one. Try Grand Tactician Civil War. That shits out of this world.

I recently broke 1000 hours in this game. It's really not all that replayable, I just LOVE killin' slavers.

"Shiloh" is pronounced like "shy-low" not "shy-la" other then that great review!

Best game ive ever played so user freindly with epic scale and love the maps and art work

Glad I found this. I've been dipping in and out of UG: Gettysburg and the gameplay is fun but the controls and lack of needed info for the player is maddening. This looks so much better. Shame it's so linear but will definitely pick it up.

this game has been tempting my wallet for a while

I haven't played and it looks awesome! Is this or grand tactician a better game?

Definitely the Best RTS I've played. Haven't beat it yet. But I'll keep trying

You need to check out the J&P mod it's a game changer just got updated yesterday

This as a total war would be sweet as well and add European powers who could intervene in different alternate scenarios

Really like the mechanics of the game it’s very interesting tbh the only let down was when I got to the end of the campy it felt really short I felt like I had only really got my force going when it was over and because I had done so well the final battle was a little easy

Oh so this is what Darth Vader does between missions.

Me: “Does the game have William Mahone as a general?” Devs: “Yes.” Me: *Proceeds to make William Mahone the commander of an entire corps to lead his men into victory.*

Try "Grand Tactician: The Civil War" it has a very robust strategic system and good tatical battles and altought the AI isn't that good i still recommend for you to give it a go.

Very nice game. Pity it doesn't have TW style strategic campaign tho. Grand Tactician: The Civil War has a great campaign map but battles are garbage.

You gotta check out this campaign map expansion mod called Imperatoris Mundi for Rome Remastered. It has 630 factions

this is truly hands down the best game I have played since half life 2, not drawing a comparison by genre but by sheer innovation/inspiration and quality of gaming experience!

You can make a video about (610AD the rise of khosrow )this is the atila mode

I love this game! Great strategy and tactic, it’s even better than total war. Cant wait if they are going for napoleon’s ultimate war, that would be so awesome!!!

What I love in this game is the battle. For me, Battle are better than Total War,. In Total War, we need to perfectly position all units, macro managing every move and specific unit power. But don't have the time to do it. Each little mistake is just horrible. In Civil War, you have time, there is no specific abilities to each units, Units not run away in a second, letting us the time to make strategic move. And for me, it's more realistic. I think most of this good things comes from the fact that units are small but represent 100 to 3000 units. My dream is a Napoleon Ultimate General, with multiplayer. And keep units like this :)

Where do you pick up mods for this? I don't see anything on nexus...

Now that UG:G has been released on consoles I wonder if they’ll consider bringing over other UG games.

Great game but a few things to keep in mind. This game does unit size scaling. meaning the larger your army numerically the larger the enemy force. This can be overcome by putting all points into the cost of recruiting veterans into your ranks. Keeping future points into veteran training as well as medical to reduce loss's. Unit wise keep infantry under 800 men and make more units of small Cav& skirmishers to fill our your ranks

Recently found myself stuck with a 400 windows work laptop while traveling. Booted this game up and next thing I knew I’d wasted the whole day lol

Just recently hopped back into it I forgot how bad I am at keeping my cavalry alive

If the game had a multiplayer option I would be interested. I may be wrong but I believe all their games are single player.

this game is a gem ! confederate campaign is quite chalenging.

Really reminds me of Sid Meiers Civil War

You want to try and read all the names of those battles again😂😂😂 I had an existential crisis for a second thinking I've been pronouncing the battle of Shiloh wrong my whole life until you got to Antietam

I need this game but with a Planetside 2 type of play mode. Nonstop 24/7 online live warfare. I love games like this, but single player will only have so much replayability for me. Has anyone made a mode like that yet?

I’ve played it. Thought the AI was somewhat unbalanced to the point where even tactical maneuvering couldn’t overcome it.

What caused me to shelve this game in the end was the auto-balancing feature which undermined any point in adopting a good strategy. The better you do the more benefit the AI gets so it becomes pointless to even try to win.

Not really about the vid, but can u please do a sparta DEI guide?

They should’ve made this multiplayer too

Darth Vader teases us with this, and doesn’t make a Napoleonic War. Feels bad man.

Like the video, just you messed up some of the pronunciation of some of the battles like Antietam.

If the rumor of ultimate general American revolution is true I would be so excited, especially if they learn from civil war bugs and gameplay wise

Frankly I loved Ultimate General - Civil War much more than the Admiral game!

Great game. Only thing I don't like about the game is that it's a "ladder" system, where you can only play your way through the selected battles. So after a while it gets old, repeating the same trip through it. Prefer an open ended grand strategy where both sides can deviate from the script.

Shy-loh An-tee-tum

off i thought its a sequal! already play the first two

Civil War is amazing, but pretty sure Darth doesn't 'head up' Game Lab, more's the shame since then some of their other games might actually be finished to a similar quality. Naval Action, looking at you...

shylow and anteetum

I see realistic and beautiful battlefields with formation of soldiers , moving and behaving like soldiers. Fortunately, this series (Ultimate General) has nothing to do with recent "Total War" stuff with its 3-minute battles involving "ants".

Interesting

I don't know why i pirate it back then in 2020, it just pop up on the website, i try it, play it for like a week, finish it and regret not buy it to support the development team. To pay for my sin, i buy the age of sail this summer sale lol

Never heard Shiloh or Antietam pronounced like that 😂

The battle of Shilaw. Oh no.

not gonna lie The Game is great 👍

I just got this game…. Money well spent…

This game would be the best if there was a sandbox mode.

The problem is gameplay, i drag my armies and they always act not like total war XD

it's Shi-lo and An-tee-tum

love the review but bro you butchered the Battle Fields names

this game is not easy by any means early game is toughhhh feels like you just never have enough troops for anything

Is it multiplayer? 🤔

"Grand scale strategy" in a Total War game, what are you smoking?

I much prefer the linear campaign than any total war turn based sandbox campaign maps

I wish it was Napoleon/Europe

Looks great and have it on my Steam wish list but really not a fan of linear single player campaigns, I like to have a more sandbox feel. Same reason i can never find a WW2 game to fit my tastes 🙁

underrated game. way better than total war, imo.

hi Terminator, Ultimate General: Civil War has best civil war battles, so sad they didn't invest to develop a campaign map, while we are on US Civil war chapther, i strongly recomend to try "US Civil war - Grand Tactician" - the best Civil war in my opinion. It has Campaign map and battles, Economy, politics, research. Keep in mind the game is unique and original. The commanders don't follow the orders rigth away just because you clicked them to do so, they have their own initative and flow, they also if army has bad organisation, they can refuse to follow an order, and also to come into conflict with a superior.

Grand tactician: Civil War is closer to total war type of civil war game.

No freedom to do what you want

Good game but its too hard and there's no way to make it easier even with mods

Oh, so you think Ultimate General: Civil War is good? TAKE A LOOK AT GRAND TACTICIAN CIVIL WAR! seriously it's way better, and that is SAYING something considering how good ultimate general civil war is.

I desagree. I mean, I love the game, but it has serious problems in campaign gameplay.

I dont like this game. It's main problem revolves around difficulty. In particular how it's not difficult but frusturating. Most battles your troops are out of position and the enemy is hardcoded to have a numbers advantage in every scenario. I started a union campaign, somewhere I think around Chickamauga I gave up. I had a decent army in the field and positioned along the forests to give my men cover. Lee comes in with 30k troops (Not joking) smashes my 11k of line infantry and artillery and costs me the battle.

Grand tactician is better!! :)

Why dont you know how to say "Shiloh"? Thats just weird.

Na. The linear "campaign" is lame
