![]() Which is why the old Axis and Allies game by Larry Harris was so fun. For some reason, people don't like to spend time learning complicated board games I am already good at just so they could play me and lose. I still enjoy TW, though, mainly for the sheer relaxed fun factor, the epic tactical battles and the campaigns, but it's been a looooong time since it's challenged me in any way. That hasn't been the case for me with the AI of UGCW. ![]() Once you've figured out the AI of TW (which doesn't take long), it'll never surprise you. Which, by the way, is one huge difference between UGCW and TW. Yes, I know, it sometimes does stupid stuff too, but it's the moments where I go "damn, that's exactly what I'd have done!" that stand out. I guess all of the AAA developers constantly moaning about how it's "impossible" to program an AI that is able to act logically and adapt to the situation need to have a talk with Darth :-) On the topic of UGCW, I haven't often been able to say "well damn you, AI, how the hell did you figure that one out, you sneaky bastard?". All of the units lovingly sorted into their own separate emptied matchboxes (which gave me a problem with the ginormous pile of matches that I never did find out what to do with), indexed and numbered by type. Only game I ever owned that required you to have an empty room in your house if you ever wanted to play it. I DID own Fire in the East/Scorched Earth (Drang Nach Osten/Unentschieden), though. Beautiful game, not to mention it taught me how to read German unit symbols. I played that one, but I never owned a copy. My first AH game was War At Sea- still have it along with a bunch of others. Anybody else have a copy of Longest Day (MONSTER Game)? great strategy gamesįourth! Still sitting in my closet with the rest of my AH games. I remember buying the first game in in 1978-79. I used to have all the AH games as well i loved them american civil war is my favored period of warfare in strategy. Letting players build the army's from scratch with a generated battle map will make it that much better.allowing them to make there own strategic decisions will jump this game into hyper drive. ![]() Ultimate general is so far the best game design out and i truly hope the designers are on it to make it even better and they continue to support the product. I been playing these kind of games since computers came out. If you can put ultimate general with a sand box version starting from fort Sumter 1861 to Appomattox surrender in 1865 it would put this game over the total war series games by a huge margin. It lets you interact with the units on a personnel level and i love the direction its going. I have to say that empire total war is a great game but this ultimate general takes the cake. I own all the total war series games and any/all american civil war games on the market. ![]()
