American Revolution is a sandbox strategy game featuring the epic historical period during the rebellion of the American colonies against the British Empire. Take on the role of the British or American Colonists, and fight for territorial control over North America. A gripping real-time campaign awaits you on a detailed 3d map where you can build your army and navy, construct military infrastructure, and fully command your armies on a regimental level. If you want even more action you can fully zoom-in and fight massive battles on a battalion level.
Fight in real-time on the global map with regiments and naval squadrons. Move your General to gain the tactical control of the situation in a minimal way. The presence of the General makes it possible to control the troops or ships directly on map, actively use maneuvers, cut supply routes, utilize different types of terrain and flank with cavalry. The battles can be fought with more detail and full tactical control by zooming-in further on the map.
If you choose to fight battles with full tactical control, the regiments become divided into smaller battalions allowing you the command of hundreds of units in real-time, creating a dazzling and realistic combat experience of the historical period. Troops are positioned in a landscape according to the placement they had on the map at the given time. Some will engage the enemy immediately, others can be re-positioned in deployment zones, while those which were further away may join later as reinforcements.
Realistic reconnaissance is simulated, making messages the basis of military intelligence and battle maneuvering. Messages can be delayed or be intercepted by the enemy, resulting in your orders not reaching your troops in time or rendering communication with your distant territories impossible.
Army management
You have full control over your army's composition. Available recruits are determined based on your success in battle and the loyalty of the population. Use these recruits to create divisions, brigades, and regiments. Keep your soldiers alive and they will learn to fight better, turning them from green rookies into crack veterans. Take too many casualties and you might not have enough recruits to reinforce your units and win the next battle. Lose too many battles and the population's loyalty and army morale will drop and the war will be lost.
Supply is essential
Three base supply items are needed for each unit: weapons, ammunition and food. Weapons and ammunition are provided by weapon factories. Weapons are received when a new unit is created and later these weapons can be replaced by better ones, according to availability. Ammunition consists of gunpowder, bullets and balls which are spent in battle and must be replenished for maintaining your army in a minimum fighting condition. It is also necessary to constantly supply your army with food, otherwise non-combat losses will grow and the morale of the soldiers will drop. The army can forage a territory for food but, in this case, the welfare of the region and the loyalty of population will deteriorate.
Food & other Resources
Food is produced in agricultural facilities. The more food a region produces, the larger the army it can feed. To increase food production, it is necessary to raise the agricultural level of the region. Surplus food will be stored in warehouses or sent to other regions. Mineral resources are needed to produce weapons, ammunition, and ships. Each region has different resources that can be mined. To increase production, it is necessary to develop the level of mineral resource extraction in a region.
Ammunition & weapon production
To produce weapons and ammunition, you must develop the military industry. The game has a simplified system, in which you need to build factories and shipyards. The factories are used for the production of small arms, guns, ammunition, and supply wagons. With the shipyards you build warships and supply ships.

I hear that tone of voice talking about 'having' to research Engineering dept first.
Truth is, the US military more than most major world powers has always been engineering forward. From the battle of Trenton to D-Day and even GWOT (so many bases built in so many places no one even knows about) engineering is where the US military puts a lot of resources and attention. West Point was an engineering school before it was anything else.
True, in the first 100 years or so, of West Point, all the top officers would slot into engineering, while infantry was sortta the, you couldn't hack anything else so you end up there type.
They could also make a Mexican American war game.Or maybe a game about the French intervention into the Mexican war.I believe happened in like the 1820s and 30s.No one really talks about it.That the french actually invaded the mexicans too during the civil war two
Hey, so Production Infrastructure is not a city building, you need to get into a different province infrastricture mapmode or UI, where you can choose between agricultural, production, shipyard and some other. It's a little factory icon there.
Just picked this game up off of steam. Have to admit, I have no idea what I'm doing. Started campaign 3 times now and doing about the same as you in this play through. Still learning controls and how to move men around on the battlefield. Fun so far, but lots to learn.
Thanks for the gameplay, sir. Looking forward to the naval side of this as well. This has put this project on my radar, I'll definitely check it out after work.
Always loved this series, hopefully you keep it up
Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. 🙂
Love this game, nice to see you back. Good luck with the job situation. 💂♀show em cold steel boys.
Point of note: The first moves you were drawing the move along those lines on the map, doing what I did and presuming those are roads. They are not roads, they are boundary lines. Roads look different and no where near as 'smooth' or straight. Have to be careful about that as it leads to drawing march straight through forests way too often.
Prod. Infrastructure is top left icon. Factory building for Hartford. This replaces renting factories, giving prod points over time. Blacksmith shops upgrades those features
Sorry to hear that historical gamer well hopefully it won't turn out better for you
Good to hear from you though
Sorry to hear about the sleep thing man. Have a 2 yr old at home and he too struggles with it. Appreciate your content
I feel you. my toddler never wants to sleep.
Entrenched positions give bonuses beyond the usual Cover bonus, such as -25% damage received and sometimes a melee buff. At least that’s how it works in their other games. Sometimes the entrenchment is not worth it though
This game already looks epic to me. For Founding Fathers!
Love these games! Not enought time
Very entertaining video. Better than most of the crap on streaming. I do use streaming services for older movies and tv shows.
As a Brit I still say you guys cheated by using the Frogs to do your dirty work! 😉 But on a lighter note, will the new capital be Butcher DC?? 😁😇
Well just call it “the butcher shop”
@@thehistoricalgamer 🤣
You guys got even in 1812!!! Lol!!!
Disappointed. The map is still not accurate. No bridge. Still looks like a somewhat updated Empire Total War, without the ability to build barricades.
its still in early access things a subject to change
Easy DLC would be French & Indian War.
Also good would be 1812.
Id go ACW before Napoleonic.
All of the above based the map foundation this game establishes.
i cant wait for when they release the British campaign
I am looking forward to it. I think this is one of those games that can really make being the offensive side more interesting, especially if the game does a good job of making it very hard to adequately garrison a massive hostile land.
Sorry to hear about your job
Looking forward for this game to come out of early access. Nothing against it but I prefer my games to be finished when I buy them.
hope everything works out bud
i'm loving this game so far, i really don't understand the Steam reviews... then again, there are plenty of games i love that didn't do well on steam. But i have faith, i think as the project moves along those reviews will start trending better. But yeah, i love the game so far... been waiting a long time for a proper American Revolution strategy game to come along... TW Empire was fantastic, but that has been around for a while now.
its mostly about price
Speaking of Napoleonic game as the next step... As CA left Empire alone and these developers have both ships and land battles... We might get a mix of Total War and Europa Universalis
If this is supposed to be Concord, where is the bridge?
Mr. Butcher looks suspiciously a lot like G.Washington
what would be the ideal way to deploy and use a unit like morgans riflemen in a battle line? distance and mobility?
I haven't played UG: AR, but in my experience with UG: CW riflemen are best used at range on the flank. Shooting into the flank does more morale damage and forces the unit to turn to face the riflemen if they want to shoot back at them, which then leaves their flank exposed to the line infantry. You want to use the extra range of riflemen to shoot while being out of range of being shot at. Also, if a unit tries to get in range of the riflemen withdraw to stay out of range while turning back to shoot, and basically kite the enemy unit. Cavalry is fast enough that this doesn't really work so its best to have cavalry nearby to keep your riflemen from being run down by cavalry.
I guess I lucked out, my 2 year old loved going from a crib to his toddler bed and we've never once had a problem with bedtime. As far as the game goes, I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. This dev's releases are a mixed bag for me. I loved Civil War but hated Age of Sail. Try not to stress about situations out of your control. You seem like a smart enough guy to be able to roll with the punches and benefit in the long run.
Would you recommend purchasing the game at this stage?
I do believe, Washington had a half brother who was older than him by some years.
Yes that’s what I thought also.
Pure frustration at ignoring the apply button repeatedly, good series and explanations though.
My days! - You can pronounce Leicester!
Sorry about the job bro, if you are looking for a horrible job that pays well and gives you no time at home and treats you like crap the railroad is always hiring, You can start around 70k
Delighted to see this back Sirrah! It seems like you are well aware of the nuances of the game but may I emphasize the problem of lack of officers last time round? Get them boys to school early I sez! Looking forward to the rest of the campaign.

I got this early access (many months ago) and played it on the easiest difficulty and thought it was way too hard. I absolutely LOVED the Civil War one but this one just didn't do it for me.
Curious if you had the Limited AI Reinforcements setting on of off?
@@Trifler500 I can't remember. I certainly don't remember seeing that anywhere to click. Would make sense though.
@@bradleyroth2125 Starting a new game with it checked means the AI forces don't automatically get more money, troops, etc. out of thin air.
@@Trifler500 maybe I'll give it another shot. I got an email yesterday with the steam keys. So might as well! Cheers.
Interesting that the graphics appear so much inferior to UGCW
Hope you secure a new job
Man, the unit movement in tactical battles is too fast for me
Its insane that we still used this type of warfare with rifled muskets in the civil war. These were smoothbore muskets so shots werent anywhere near as accurate.
Was not necessary at least not for the line infantry. They didn't had to aim because they didn't shot at individual targets but at tightly packed infantry formations from a hundred yards away. You load your musket and shoot in the enemy formation and you would obviously hit something so long you didn't shoot to low or to high.
Rifled muskets weren’t a given in the Civil War either. Lots of smoothbores then too!
What’s with the six pointed stars on the flag?
It's known as the "Hopkinson Flag" and was one of the first official flags of the US.
Once Again!
Will there be also a british campaign?
Eventually yes
Commented before even 1 minute into the video? 😂 Me too...
@@thehistoricalgamerWill you play it as well?
You are like those students who after being told what to do, say, so what are we doing?!
@@ArrwmkrDon’t talk to me like that ever again.
Everthing will be ok with you and your wife. Just keep going!
My prayers go with you and your family.
Nice vid🎉🎉🎉(pls dont think im a bot)
живу в Росс но обожаю эту игру
Can You play British YET?
Not yet.
skirmishers family's 8-(
психологиски есть общее
Damn 3 year olds! Who do they think they are?
I know right?
Game is too expensive unfortunately...
Absolutely hated Age of Sail.
I'll probably get this though when it's properly released, but only after I've seen the reviews.
I'm not pre-ordering shit anymore. We need to change our behaviour if it's supposed to change the behaviour of the gaming studios.
Well this game looks like a upgrade to age of sail ultimate admiral...... TBH they should just made this a DLC for that game.
The AI is dumber than dirt in this game. Just rush some soldiers around the enemy and surround them. even if they have a much larger army they will rout and just run back and forth getting picked off and eventually surrender. They won’t try to break through. They won’t try and fight. They will just run around in circles dying.
The AI is absolutely TERRIBLE in this game.
Is it just me or do the in game sounds of battle (ie; musket firing) sound.. awful
Looks like a mobile game
Lol if u think about it, we fought a revolution, because of taxes, and yet today we are way more heavily taxed then back then, and we just take it.
The taxation argument wasn’t just because taxes existed, the taxation argument was because we were taxed but didn’t get a vote in picking the government, which isn’t true today. Taxation without representation and all that stuff.
If only we could get a candidate worth voting FOR!
@@jppauley9969 that's why I vote Libertarian. Both sides suck. Might as well vote how I feel instead of the whole party line crap
DC has no representation in the government
Either way this conflict turned out the British won.
no fun! can only play Americans
What creepy kids!
Man, that intro was painfully and consciously overlooking an important aspect of the colonies: Chattel Slavery.
Only showing White labourers on daddy's southern plantation is an insult.
If it was such a big controversy, just don't have the intro have anything to do with emulating George Washington's plantation upbringing. He was a slaver.
Plenty of other "origins" they could've settled for. Instead we get this cartoonish whitewashing of the horror of American slavery.
Hell, own it, make it an active part of the game's mechanic. It's a historic game after all.
You need to start off building carpenter's shops that provide construction materials. Everything else will go faster.
I haven't seen any gameplay. But the rest of these games suck absolute ass. No blood in a war game? Made by a total war modder but not even as good as total war? Overrated shite.
