Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a campaign focused only on battles may find the emphasis on infrastructure, production, and supply management too broad
- Players who prefer immediate, uninterrupted command may find delayed or intercepted orders an unwanted part of battlefield planning
- Players looking for turn-based squad tactics will find real-time map operations and battles instead
- Players seeking a fantasy setting may not want a campaign about the American colonial rebellion
Our take on Ultimate General: American Revolution
Rather than keeping strategy at a single map scale, the game lets commanders zoom from territorial operations into detailed battles with battalion-level control. Communication delays and interception also make orders less immediate than in many strategy games.
What is Ultimate General: American Revolution?
Command American colonist forces during the rebellion against the British Empire in a real-time campaign across a detailed 3D map.
Manage territorial control, build armies and fleets, develop military infrastructure, and organize production of weapons, ammunition, and ships. Regiments and naval squadrons move across the map, where a general can direct maneuvers, use terrain, flank, and disrupt supply routes. Battles can zoom in to a battalion level, dividing regiments into smaller units for detailed command. Reconnaissance and delayed or intercepted messages affect how quickly orders reach troops and distant territories. The campaign also involves recruiting or replenishing units, assigning officers, managing headquarters departments, and planning supply routes to sustain forces.
