I see your point but the idea was the armies in this war were smaller than the civil war, I think there was perhaps a worry of too few units being on the field at regimental level

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

Yeah it's definitely a good worry. Just makes these large battles look really weird.

[@Avines101]

@@Quickslvr_Gaming I see a lot of people group up units before battle but I heard they break easier to make it a more regimental deal. Not sure on the routing part.

[@Avines101]

You could combine a bunch of units on deployment to kind of make regiments but I’m not sure if they break more frequently or how the control of the unit works in regards to the multiple officers, perhaps the best one.

[@joshuajudd4501]

Beautiful set up on that line! Well done... micro is on point!

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

Thanks! It was a fun, but crazy big battle.

[@halfawake454]

I played ultimate general civil war for the first time a few months ago and enjoyed it. While the large grand battles were cool to look at I actually enjoyed the smaller battles more. It felt like it let me focus more on trying to outflank the enemy. When the battles got too big it felt almost overwhelming trying to do the same at such a large scale. The large battles also significantly degraded performance which does degrades the fun factor, although my pc is quite old so I'm not sure if I just have a bad perspective on the performance front. This game looks like it has a lot of potential. I'm waiting for the full release (and will need a new pc to run this) before checking this out myself. Thanks for the early access footage so we can see how it's coming along.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

I would definitely recommend an upgrade before playing this game as this game is a step up in pc requirements. I am glad you are enjoying the early access footage.

[@ashen1921]

Excited to check this out, I was occupied all day by intense gaming

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

I feel like it is a pretty awesome battle, even if I do have my gripes at the beginning about how the start of a battle looks and feels.

[@sasha642]

Wonderful episode, loved it, I finally gave up on my no fleet and super huge British invasion and started over with a second game.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

The game definitely has some quirky mechanics that take some getting used to. When I first started playing I restarted all the time.

[@charlesandresen-reed1514]

I very much agree on the setup. We need deployment zones in battle, and simpler organization on the strategic map.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

Yeah I really want something to make it more enjoyable in those regards.

[@davidburroughs2244]

Well played! Haven't looked in on UG in quite a while, looks as if it may not take you eight years to win this one. Impressed with your bringing order to the early chaos, surprised the game doesn't give one much time to bring order to a mish mash of units, and it looks as if regiments and divisions and corps are not a thing given much regard by the game system - but may be that is only my own early and uninformed opinion.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

I would say you are fairly correct. It is something that the community is asking for a lot in the official discord. The game looks great for being early access, but there are some concerns that need to be addressed such as the army organization and how forces deploy on the battlefield.

[@Avines101]

I think I saw an empty set of guns on the left where you were down to two of you did lose one

[@Tdiggity23]

I just started a new campaign and focused more on the Navy side. Seems to have caused 5000 redcoats invading from Canada, 8000 redcoats invading Salem and bumrushing Boston, then another 8000 invasion going for Hartford, all in the space of about 45 days. Only a few months till the New York part opens up..

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

Sounds like you are in a pickle!

[@Avines101]

Criss cross deployment, my favorite lol

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

My desire for a deployment zone...

[@Chris.M]

The regiment grouping is clumsy. The system is good as it is.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

Hmmm, respectfully disagree. Of course everyone has their own preferences, but I really dislike how the company system scales into larger battles, let alone how things work on the Strategic map.

[@Chris.M]

@Quickslvr_Gaming yup they should be able to instantly group units in cities so we don't move a bunch of units all the time.

[@mackenzieblair8135]

It bothers me that every company has a flag.

[@Chris.M]

@mackenzieblair8135 this applies to the AI when AI moves troops there are so many of them overlapping that becomes impossible to estimate their forces.

[@dash1141]

you play very well -- can you promote yourself??

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

Thanks. I wish I could!

[@dash1141]

@@Quickslvr_Gaming is it possible to outfit regiments with rifles once you unlock them, or are they purely skirmish limited weapons? Thank you.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

You can equip them with rifles, but it makes them really weak in melee.

[@rudiolthof8949]

Nice play through. Thumbs up. Yet I would like advice you to stop complaining over the same things over and over again.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

I feel like I am really fair with my constructive criticism and for a game being in early access I think it is important to point out what parts of the game need some work. Not really sure I would call it complaining as I don't feel like I am being overly negative.

[@Chris.M]

Please don't follow your principles and hit the damn pause for the love of God... 😂

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

Why? Is it enjoyable to watch people pausing?

[@davidburroughs2244]

For me, the use of pause is dependent on: - Can I pull things in to order in the real time I have before contact? - How is the movement over ground vice a) real-time and real-space equal, b) is the game time or unit movement sped up to the point where real time is not accurately represented. -That is, are my units running ten miles in thirty seconds, then I think it is fair for me to pause, here and there.

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

@davidburroughs2244 Yeah I generally pause at the beginning of battle, and then if a bunch of reinforcements come onto the battlefield. I personally don't find pausing during a real time strategy battle enjoyable to watch, so therefore I don't do it myself. I actually stop watching KZbin videos that spam the pause button, as I just find it completely ruins the entire flow of the game I also believe that real time strategy games are meant to be played in real time, and if I wanted to spam pause I would play a turn based game (Which I do quite often).

[@Chris.M]

Because it's so messy, it's painful to watch. I understand why you don't doing it, but please consider pausing more at larger battles.

[@paoloferraris8518]

le artiglierie muovono sempre troppo...in questo periodo per altro, a parte il cannone reggimentale di piccolo calibro che veniva spinto a mano se possibile (se no in caso di veloce avanzata si abbandonava e si lasciava indietro), le artiglierie campali venivano messe in campo e facevano un bombardamento prima della battaglia se poi si attaccava oppure dove erano con la fanteria in difesa...rimanevano in batteria, difficilmente venivano ulteriormente spostati durante la battaglia se non per portarli via al riparo...

[@Quickslvr_Gaming]

I would say this is a problem in most real time strategy games that include artillery. In this game it is compounded by the fact that we don't have proper deployment zones. I do think the 3lb and 4lb Galloper guns were quite maneuverable and were used as mobile artillery, but the 6lb and 12lb pieces should probably be stationary or much harder to move.
