i'm honestly really impressed at how much civil war history Mack knows, this was pretty impressive lol
lol he does know a lot about the trump civil war.
Yea im surprised this British dick lick knows anything about American history considering how salty they are over getting their asses kicked in the revolutionary war.
I dont know if it was in the game when you reviewed, but you can actually split skirmish units off of main battle lines now to spread your forces better.
UG Gettysburg was the first video I watched of yours and now here we are all this time later. Great to see you doing a follow up and even better to see the channel doing so well. Keep up the good fight Mack!
This looks like my cup of tea,
This is an example of why PC's will always be better than consoles, and no I'm not some PC elitist, I have a XB1 and a wii U and enjoy playing them for what they are but if your serious about gaming then it's PC all the way.
Totally agree
Jimmy Jarrett This game could easy be on consoles, it's just the Dev's are lazy pricks that don't want to port it.
Sony Pony Gaming
Maybe if you attached a mouse and keyboard, I can't imagine how it would work with a controller
Jimmy Jarrett Games like xcom manage it fine.
When you get the level of micromanagement just right
I've been enjoying you'r new reviews a lot mack, keep it up!
Thanks
Worth A Buy Thank you for entertaining me so much :)
eurosonly Thanks, i'm not english, i mess up sometimes.
Instead of the oblique maneuver, something you can do is issue a Fallback command to your unit at the flank. Then move them back into formation in the "L" shape that you desire. This holds your flank, and minimizes the losses. It's not quite the same thing, but I've used it moderately effectively in this game.
mmh, the formation stuck in lines and the inability to oblique seem like major, major flaws to me in a strategy game, I'm surprised you didnt thumb it down. It must be great for you to get past this.
One of your better reviews, very constructive :)
Yeah it's a shame the game does not have these features, it's still terrific fun, really meaty battles.
Guys, they added oblique control last month, also the Game is currently on Sale!
LOL "Cant hold back...Errrghh!! Charge the bastardddss!!" that part had me rofling xDD
I want to play an American Revolutionary War game. I'm talking 1775-1783, the Continental Army, France, Spain, Native Americans and Holland vs British Empire, Quebec, Holy Roman Empire, Native Americans. Several playable campaigns in North America and Europe, also naval warfare.
+1
I like the idea of simulating the tenuous control a commander has over his men in the heat of battle. If that's actually a feature and has an understandable mechanic I'd be all for it. I think I remember another game having a similar mechanic, but I can't remember it.
Love the intro, I live about 10 minutes from Cold Harbor. The embankments are still visible at least in the park area which is shocking considering that the access is free and open year round for the most part..
Nice review mate, i have the Ultimate General Gettysburg, which i play now and again, I know of Darth Vader, who created UGG, from the mods he did on Total War. I'm from Gateshead by the way, I'm 50 btw, and still play a bit of Arma 3 and Medieval Kingdoms Total war now and again. And I enjoy listening to your reviews.
Interesting game and review. Personally, I'd fancy even more flavour stuff, such as more permanent smoke on the battlefield (or morning mist), attack and panic screams, pipes, flags and the like. Of course, I am spoiled by BF1, but the atmosphere there is simply incredible when you have successfully stormed the enemy trench line in "Kaiserschlacht" and everybody is screaming, whistles are blowing and all men are rushing forward to the next sector, isn't it? That armosphere is what I would want here as well.
Permanent Smoke? Of course how can I forget James Smith that fired his gun at the 6th Cavalry regiment during the battle of Gettysburg wounding a captain, you can still see his smoke to this day.
LOL
Holy smoke, that was a good one! Although my knowledge is admittedly rather limited, I allowed myself to jump to the conclusion that the typical battlefield of the 1860s was a rather cloudy area, where shells exploded and a lot of old school gun powder was burned. That may have led to decreased visibility which may add a realistic touch to the crystal clear sky of the game and make to battles more intense since even the player cannot see everything at once. By the way, please, would you mind teaching me how to express my point in a better way?
Pretty sure it's a game mechanic. The brigades listen more to commands with higher level Generals, at least they do so in the updated version(s) of the game. I really enjoy the feature, it adds to the realism, as troops would get caught up in the chaos of the moment and miss commands, or decide to charge a wavering enemy, against orders.
Purchased the game based on Mac's and some other RUclips reviews and I have developed a somewhat different opinion than Mack. In my play through I've seen whole units wiped out because of missed clicks leading to units charging positions rather than firing on them. The game's art style is a good mix of cartoon and realistic, and the general creation are nice features, but the selection issues are frustrating. If this gets mended the game will be worth it's price of £25.
Glad to see you do this game -- the original UG: Gettysburg was the first review of yours I watched! Can't believe it's been this long. Happy that you're still going strong Mack!
I LOVE your commentary! So great to hear U.S.History in a British accent. Ding!
It's an exciting game. I'm a fan of Darth from as far back as Rome:Total War. Since it's still in beta I hope some factors will be improved. These are in addition to the several points made in the video.
Here are some things I noted- Friendly fire. Ally units can, apparently, fire through friendly units without causing casualties.
- Skirmishers detached from a unit can be used like far-ranging commandos without regard to the location of the parent unit. That seems ahistorical.
-Exhausted units that continue moving suffer no attrition losses due to men falling out. Truly exhausted troops should drop like flies to the wayside.
-The replenishment phase allows VETERAN replacements. Which theater of the war relinquished these experienced troops? In the first year of war, even? No way, no way!
General Heth had the "My Boys" dialogue in Gettysburg. I love that movie lol
It's fun to see you enjoying these historical strategy games Mack :)
MACK!! You silky Scott!!! Theyres no Fjords in America m8!!!
Well what do you call them thingys where the river is shallow and u can cross?
A shallow river!!!!!! Silly silly Scotty you :)
As an American, they're still called fjords. That's the term used technically, but it's not very common in local nomenclature. Most likely a person would just say "that river is shallow and you can wade across."
Where I come from, we call them creeks x)
Shit I meant ford but thought it was a car, cheers
Impressed you know so much about the American civil war Mack.
I studied it, also read the book on Gettysburg and a few on Stonewall Jackson, my favourite film is Gettysburg :) It was a very interesting and tragic war.
Worth A Buy ,This is why i watch you mack!
You are educated, and slightly unhinged in one entertaining package 👍
+Worth A Buy Love Gettysburg Film. Still have the Vhs and dvds haha Have you checked out Glory? Not a bad historical dramatization either. Sorry for the late post. Just came to your channel :P
I like how you drop the bombshell that it is early access in the last two seconds.
Man those graphics are awesome.
Sounds like a fun game. My question is, how much of a storyline is there, and is there a casual mode?
none (so far) and why would you want that?
For old Virginia!!!
Virginia!! ... hanging out with little boys in spandex I see
I love you vagina but you cant keep doing that cmon
We move on the word of an actor?
Adam Frisk can't afford not to
for virgins!
Hey mack have you played fields of glory by micropose from 1992? Dos game, and was set in the napoleonic wars, this is the like the modern version of fields of glory and hope if this game is a success, they do the napoleonic era.
Yeah I loved that game
Apparently you can oblique now since a patch in April 17, think I need to buy this after watching Gettysburg
It's currently on Sale! bought it a few days ago fur the full price unfortunately
I love Ultimate General Gettysburg and this looks like a great follow up to that. How much is it in US Dollars Mack? Thanks for bringing this game to my attention. Definitely on my radar now!
The south was the underdog and with lee was able to fight despite being basically ragtag roughneck army compared to the north. Its always more fun being the underdog in games and overcoming adversity by playing to win instead of playing on easy trying not to lose.
Glad to see they are adding Chickamauga, George Henry Thomas was the best general of the war.
They need to add modding tools though so you can add other battles (Nashville)
Mack Killing Floor 2 is fully released today. Are you planning on reviewing it?
* I know you reviewed it in early access but that was waaay back. A lot has changed.
No zoom in on units + no formations + no oblique = deal breaker for me. If they fix it, I'll buy it.
2much Time thats holding me back as well.
2much Time Imo the AI completely saves the game for me. It's the only RTS out there with intelligent enough AI to have grand battles. Especially the campaign, playing as the Union at the battle of Gaines Mill when you're initially outnumbered 3-1 is epic, then finally your reinforcements arrive at the critical moment to save the battle. Seriously the campaign made me more attached to my army than ANY RTS ever. You care about your troops- almost like X-COM. The AI is so good man you're robbing yourself of a great experience.
Awesome thanks Christopher. I'll pick it up today on steam.
Hi Mack, are you going to do a review for Cossacks 3? I love your reviews!
To the left of the minimap there is a view changer so you can zoom in more
That just alters the angle of the camera it does not zoom it in anymore.
Worth A Buy my bad i was watching people and I thought it added a second zoom
It's odd that oblique movement and formation shaping are not in this when they've been staple features of Total War games for so many years. Odd. Great vid! :)
"Don't like the slavery policy."
The north kept slaves longer than the south did. Fun fact that schools have a habit of leaving out.
I was angry and then I looked at the description of your channel. Well played.
S C A R C E I S T H I C C
I was wondering why you would be angry, and then I remembered that liberals tend to get upset at the truth.
Weren't most slave owners also black people?
Speedy Gonzales I am a libertarian...
No, but there were a lot of free blacks who owned slaves, and even when talking about southerners it was only the top one percent who owned slaves because they were very expensive, the liberals will have you believe that every evil southerner owned slaves.
Great video as always Mack, a new game came out today, called planet coaster, will you do a review on it?
it would be nice to be able to draw brigade formations to refuse flanks and minimize the effect of flanking fire. I'm not sure the game is sophisticated enough to accommodate that. Also not sure the micro and heightened skill cap that would bring to the table is worth it. One thing I like about these games is that there is almost no manual dexterity required. Tactics and strategy rule the day as opposed to efficiency with the mouse and APM. It's a nice change of pace from traditional RTS and even the total war series that is this game's roots.
Map looks more '3d' than original game, or is that my dodgy memory!?
The slavery thing was pretty much THE thing with the Confederates, but I get it everybody likes the villain and the underdog.
Hi Mack, is it me, or is your audio volume getting lower? Always enjoy watching, keep it up.
The thing I didn't like the most is the resolution of the battle. I mean you have too many soldiers for the battles, which is way over than the real historical battles, and you see much less soldiers bots in the field. You see 2 lines shoot each other with almost no dead bodies in both sides. I wish it was more like in Total War. Also it will be good to add gatling guns, ironcluds and air baloons. Of course creating some mods to this game will be greate. I still bought it
Are you an American Civil War buff, Mack? You seem to know a lot about the civil war, which I find really really cool.
Yeah I am :)
The game looks good...but I don't know if I'd personally enjoy playing a war game where you don't have a variety of vehicles to fight with (tanks, planes, etc).
(I know that's realistic but still)
I agree there should be more options to form the brigade and regiments. It would also be cool to have a scenario generator so you could create your own battles. Hope to see that soon.
bought it just before you posted your review Mac. It's a great improvement on a good game. I saw lots of examples of my Rebs chasing after routed enemies too, with predictable results :-( this'll keep me busy until Rising Storm: Vietnam comes out!
Thanks Mack always happy to see a new WAB video on my feed :)
Reminds me of 'north & south' off Amiga 512k. But more advanced, ty 4 the video reviews !
When I tried their previous game it looked like it could have become something but the controls coming from its mobile origin were quite useless. So I'm glad to see signs of improvement there and will have to have a look, at least when it's released. Can't help to expect disappointment, but if indeed it is that much more improved I'd love to see more games of the same type. Maybe based on the 30 years war or something similar.
Hey Mack, is the American Civil War really covered much in the U.K? I guess it's surprising to hear someone from outside the U.S that's enthusiastic about the subject
It remembers me Sid Meier's Gettysburg...
Have to watch Gettysburg for the 15th time now! I hope they will take that small hill this time and win the war. washington next!
I always remember a woman came in the video store to return part 1 and hire out part 2 (it's a 6 hour movie as u know) and she said to the local video store guy "Wow this is a brilliant move, can't wait to see part 2, don't tell me who wins in the end though" I was LMAO
Mack this is worthy of a stream.
hi mack
Hi Dylan
hi mack hi dylan....feel free to add
Hi Dylan, Hi Mack, Hi Rob
Hi Dylan, Hi Mack, Hi Rob, Hi Bill
Hi Dylan Hi Mack Hi Rob Hi Bill Hi Rick
The lack of unit flags makes it look a bit generic. Where did they go? PC in action?
Great video Mac! Just what i needed after a long night at work:)
Wondering where the re-review of Factorio is? By the way Mack this is the first post ever for me on youtube, your great keep it up.
Not had time yet
Ok, I'm intererested, but does it have the old Panzer General, alternate history thing going for it? If it's got little more than picking one battle and a side and that's your lot, I'm less into it.
This reminds me a bit about Cossacks 2: battle for europe
AP Hill. I believe it was AP Hill who told Lee he could not hold his boys back in the movie. Great movie.
What is your favourite film Mack?
yes some1 else who says they didnt run cause they were in units with friends n family
Hey Mack, is this the game made by DarthMod who used to mod Total War? Cheers mate, looks good :-)
Have you ever played New Age Empires. It's a free-to-play browser based game that I'd be interested to see what you thought of. It's like a RTS with some management elements.
Great video with no swearing, What sup Mack?
as witht he latest update you can now oblet the unit.
The best civil war game of all time
When you hit the resupply level just right!
That Zoom is a Game breaker for me
Nothing beats Robert E Lee Civil War Generals on PC.
They need to make a napoleonic wars version or mod
Like i said when their first game came out... I really hope they do a WW1 game!
After this I went to search "Worth a buy Shogun 2" hoping to find your opinion on Total War Shogun 2. I was sad to not find a video.
This looks like what the cossacks 2 should had been
Nice battle footage, but what is the overworld like?
cant believe ive been watching since 2013
Logo for this game reminds me of Bioshock Infinite.
ANT-TIET-UM the battle of ANT-TIET-UM
looks great! if only this engine gets reused for other great historical battles of the period.
great review mack thanks alot. have you looked at motorsport manager yet?
No but I will soon
can you play this game with your friends?
dude, their are skirmishers you can detach from the regiment
Hey Mack, will you do a review on Planet Coaster?
Can't you split a skirmish unit off to aid flanks?
Mack will you be reviewing Planet Coaster?
lol you never fail to make me chuckle
Do you enjoy the Total War games Mack?
Yeah some of them
They should do the Napoleonic wars
I have to admit Mack, you're opening tagline has finally got into my head ... Thanks!!!! ;(
it was general jackson said that my boyz
Antietam is pronounced "Anteetem"
hey mack planet coaster is a neat game to review.
isent this made by the creator of Darthmod Empire total war? i think i remember seing it in the TW forums back in the day
also how does this compare to napoleon total war
Hey Mack, how did General Kayleigh fare on the battlefield?
i need scourge of war:civil war. that would have formations. might pick this one up as well.
Please play some more of this on a stream at some point
there are 2 'T's in battle, and you aren't using either of them
