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.

You have some towns that produce horses they show up on the map when the day passes. Also the Thomas Jefferson event was to lower taxes by 1% so no more taxes

[@tomsmith247]

@@Boki10 i think it is a good thing that the taxes are lowered. He will have settlements that are more loyal and will probably need fewer garrison troops to hold them

[@Boki10]

@@tomsmith247 True but financially he'll go into the red the taxes made him money

@@Boki10 let's hope that he can sell enough things and maybe raise taxes when the settlements in the north are loyal enough

Your situation is way better then the situation in the last playthrough

If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere It's up to you, New York, New York... :p

[@griffenlehrer9380]

Just trying to reduce some annoyance; I don't know if you look at these much, but when you look at an artillery unit, it will have a little cannon and musket icon somewhere, if you click the musket you can change the type of musket the unit uses. So you don't have to keep worrying about civilian muskets for your artillery units. Also, if you double right click on the name of a settlement, the units you've selected will walk over and garrison without you having to wait until they get there and hitting the button. If you click on a territory (not a city/fort, but the literal land), there will be a silhouette on the bottom left of the screen. If you click on it, you can assign an officer that will increase 1 of a couple different stats for that whole region for 2 weeks. I used it for construction, I think it was like 1,000 gold to add 1.6 construction points to Albany or somewhere over there for 2 weeks

I do look at the comments, and yes I figured that out a little while after recording this episode because someone else mentioned it on another video 😀… I do appreciate the pointers!

[@griffenlehrer9380]

@thehistoricalgamer no problem, I'm a couple videos behind so I skipped ahead to comment. Great videos man! I got it off of steam after I started watching and am having a great time

you lowered the taxes with the Jefferson thingy. I managed it to catch it after the tenth attempt^^

3:45 I work in Gettysburg and if you happened to travel into to town from the west (on 30 from chambersburg) you will have driven the same route the rebs did into the area.

[@mikeyb2524]

also, in Chambersburg, the local Texas roadhouse has giant mural of the rebels burning down Chambersburg. I find it despicable but to each their own.

[@thehistoricalgamer]

I visited Gettysburg in 2016 & 2019, would like to make it back there, a friend runs the paper cartridges business based outta there and I haven’t had a chance to meet up since he moved there.

[@mikeyb2524]

@@thehistoricalgamer I had seen that business online! I was curious if he would do some brass 45-70 or 7.62x54 with black powder. It said he was deployed somewhere, wish him well for me. I was guard and I know it sucks.

Make sure that you keep denedict Arnold away from the ny when it opens up. Lol

[@bigbaba1111]

The game looks rather easy. How is the AI? as good as in civil war?

[@thehistoricalgamer]

I’m not sure if the AI is good or bad or if it’s the map design. I think part of the problem is the tactical battles don’t have enough variety and complexity to give the AI enough to keep its tactics interesting and battles get a bit repetitive. That’s a challenge that the prior ultimate general battles didn’t have because they were less open and more scripted per the historical fights.
