[@riekopo7638]

With this many units there really should be a way to give control to AI commanders and have them act independently and/or send them orders via messengers/flags/instruments etc.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

That would be an interesting mechanic. Something like Grand Tactician Civil War?

[@jona826]

Ultimate General: Napoleonic Wars would be awesome.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

Agreed

[@clandfaf]

People say artillery isn’t effective lol hahaha wow! The way we have to micromanage our units and because the way friendly fire works your forced to either have your arty far back or mixed in with infantry. Especially when the AI is charge happy if your artillery is directly behind your infantry they will canister your own troops. Regarding the patch and troops turning sides the devs could have an option for complete historical accuracy game mode.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

Would be a very cool patch idea!

[@zam023]

I enjoyed the battle from the start to finish. That was an amazing battle, and your micromanagement is not that bad at all. You used your cannons more effectively this time. I think that one cannon regiment that took so much damage got focused fire by the British battery. From what I saw in this battle, the AI is quite good. At the start of the battle, they were pushing your right flank. When their push failed, they regrouped on your left flank and tried to push that flank. I have watched a few other people's game, but your game is the only one I can enjoy so far.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. That was a crazy battle.

[@zam023]

43:57 I think it is because it is winter that the AI is not so keen on going outside to fight. In reality, armies would avoid fighting in winter whenever possible, especially when it is snowing. I have seen, when it was not winter, the AI would go out of the cities/towns to intercept player's armies on the march.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

That is true.

I love Canadian Lobster!

[@sasha642]

Your campaign is looking very good.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

Thanks!

[@luckyluke17]

reminds me of Waterloo, looks great!

[@spastado]

you comment that the enemy keeps routing at the farmhouse, would be good to send the cavalry there to break them and open the spread from there vs crashing from the side, which was still good

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

That would have been a good idea. I am very timid with Cavalry because I have a lack of horses to replenish any losses. I need to be more aggressive.

[@Artchyzz]

This game has some nice and lovely graphics🤩

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

Yeah I really love the art style. Makes me think of a mix of a mobile game and a real time strategy game. In the best sense that is.

[@aaa-fv3xk]

Firstly, this game looks incredible, cannot wait for it to come to steam next year for proper EA. I think an interesting tactical deployment you could have considered @6:37, a gap developed in the line at the farmhouse with the units on their left of that gap in the plain starting to break. you could have taken the 5-6 units if your extreme right flank to push against their units on the right of the gap, and the rest of the units to pin the units around the farmhouse. this would create a split, or funnel, in the line for you to pour your cav or other units into and around the enemy rear. you saw the right as the biggest weakness, but i think it was your best opportunity for decisive action. also, you were numerically superior on the extreme left and should have hooked your line against theirs earlier. otherwise well fought and won, especially in the center where the expert placement of the battery shattered them easily. perhaps i should just buy this game and stop backseat generalling haha

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

Quite the interesting plan. I'll have to think about that one more.

[@rickjames18]

Glad you figureed out the artillery, a lot of players are complaining about the artillery without actually using them right. I haven't seen any cavalry that is able to shoot but I wonder if that is still bring worked on. I wanted to ask if you could make a early game tutorial on "how to get a good start" in the game when it comes to economy/money and developing infrastructure. Also how to develop units with better weapons, artilllery, supply carts, etc all things that improve armies. I see a lot of players trying to flood forward with masses of civilian muskets and numbers.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

After this campaign, I definitely plan on a tutorial video or two. Taking what I've learned from this one.

[@rickjames18]

@@Quickslvr_Gaming That would be great, cause most gamers just flood forward like a wave battering a wall. I like the idea of actually using different units, supply wagons, or building. Actually using tactics and strategy.

[@ahuse1]

i wonder if/how the balance will change when the brit navy is fully implemented.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

I imagine a lot of things will change by then. I know the Devs are working on balancing issues a lot.

[@whattowatchrightnow]

I believe that, if you were a little more aggressive at Middleborough, you could have sent Gage's head to King George.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

It could have been like the scene in Braveheart!

[@Thebroshow13]

Your a great general, my friend , you did a great job in this battle , the redcoats don’t know what hit them , your the best gamer when it comes to this game , I can’t wait to see your next battles and will you play through the British campaign when this game fully releases ?

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

Thank you for the kind words! I will definitely play the British when that campaign releases. I hope to make a lot of content about this game.

[@christopherbarrie6673]

Big fan of Ultimate General Civil War… looking forward to this one coming out, especially with the beautiful graphic updates. However, the behavior of the AI in this battle is a little disappointing. It’s hard to ignore the contrast between the perfect battle lines of the player and the disorganized behavior of the AI. I hope they make improvements.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

I really hope they can fix it.

[@LBJ50]

Why didn’t u take out the general?!

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

I think I was concentrating too hard on the enemy artillery.

[@fletchhadley3278]

looks fun, i tried to buy it and it came out to 75$ for someone who lives in CA.. lol i might have to wait till it comes out on steam.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

Yeah, I would probably wait. The game is fun, but it's not quite worth the full price tag yet.

[@jamespaoletti6589]

Should I wait for this or get Total War empire?

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

This game won't be out on Steam for a while. If I were buying something today, it would probably be Total War Empire, but I think this game will blow past it when it's fully released.

[@nachexrocker]

really enjoyed this episode, I agree that this campaign improved a lot Middleborough battle was a good one, pretty nasty arty plays =) How do you feel about the naval battles? I think the look great but they are a lot harder to do it right... maybe that could be a good idea to keep this series going

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

There are a lot of bugs and issues with Naval Battles right now. I am sort of hoping that when I really want to dive into the Naval side of things that there is a patch to fix it up some. I think in the future the Naval battles will be awesome.

[@andygeary3531]

You have to dismount to shoot with the dragoons.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

Makes sense

[@neilaleksandrov2655]

Do do that…. Lmao

[@LauftFafa]

for once the ultra wide screen seems to be useful in a game

[@joseywales3848]

The battle AI seems awful. The strategy is to just march units piecemeal into withering fire until they rout. It’s a shame as I was really hoping for something special with this game but it’s just vanilla Empire TW all over again.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

I'd say come back and check it out closer to release as this is super early access, but I definitely agree to an extent in regards to the battle AI. They need to figure out how to get the enemy to form battle lines.

[@zam023]

LOL I am watching other HUMAN players, and they are doing just that, as bad as the awful AI >_< Maybe in the next play through, Quickslvr can up the difficulty level a notch.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

@@zam023 Definitely. I am playing on Normal since this is a day 1 playthrough. A lot of the patch updates aren't applied to my version of the game since it is a day 1 playthrough. Next campaign will be on Hard. I don't think I want to play Ultimate until they really work on a lot of the early access bugs.

[@quintu5]

The battles seem a little boring from a tactical stand. The British doesn´t make proper attack lines or mass their forces on one point. The battle AI seems kinda lackluster so far. Or is this the difficulty?

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

They definitely mass their forces, but they don't form pretty lines which I would love to see. Game is still in very early development and the AI is something they try to work on often.
