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.

Arnold being the logistics expert is somewhat of a irony, even when loyal the man was syphoning off supplies!

[@KillerSniper55]

You’re wasting 100 muskets per regiment with the supply stretchers. This is why things are getting closer than you would like when before they were easier. You only need 1 or 2 max per army.

[@ewwthatsgross2]

(sings) Yes! He is a major general!

[@sasha642]

outstanding but your major man Butcher doesnt get any new points to spend when another general wins I have noticed.

😊

[@Keaperman]

Want the whole deal with Benedict Arnold that he Wanted to be the hero of the revolution ? And as long as he was that he was brilliant ? It was when he got sidestepped he turned. So as long as he gets to play the big dog you should be good, if there's any mechanic in the game regarding him.

[@davidstansbury9309]

Congress wouldn't reimburse him for expenses, that was probably his biggest beef.

[@Keaperman]

@@davidstansbury9309 Congress wanting things done but not wanting to pay for getting it done seems oddly familiar 😁

[@joshuatomson5998]

@@davidstansbury9309And he wasn’t promoted to Major General over officers who he was senior over they were promoted over him. However that wouldn’t have happened if he didn’t disobey Gates orders at Saratoga and demand that congress promote him for his victory. Yes he caused the victory but he did so when ordered to stay at camp so he basically disobeyed a direct order from his commanding general and congress didn’t want a senior general who didn’t follow orders like he was supposed to. He basically lost his seniority because of Congress and he was mad at Washington because he didn’t defend him from Congress. Washington also didn’t defend him from trial when Arnold was the Military Governor of Philadelphia after the British abandoned it to move back to New York. In Arnold’s mind Washington and Congress betrayed him.

i wish the sfx for musket fire was a little more meaty. seems a bit underwhelming

[@goodman4966]

Have a quick question is there any other way I can buy this game at lower price as I want to support it but I can't really hand out almost 50 bucks on steam..
