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.

"It's my army and I want it NOW!" call GJ Wentworth 877 specialist now !

[@goodman4966]

I really hope they add like a full Grand campaign map where you get to play all of the 13th colonies as well as the rest North America to the beginning of the war to the end.

[@davidstansbury9309]

Nothing was happening in most of those areas early in the War. That's why they don't open it up right away.

[@goodman4966]

​@@davidstansbury9309Ture but as there were battles in Southern colonies in 1775 but very late in Year.

[@davidstansbury9309]

​​@@goodman4966only between patriots and loyalists. Nobody under the control of any central American authority. It doesn't make sense for the player to have any control over events down south at that time. Or to benefit from those resources. The game would be too easy. And unrealistic. It would be a different game. This is clearly going for a more historically accurate, almost RPG experience.

[@davidstansbury9309]

​@goodman4966 I'd love this exact type of game with a global map. There could be start dates for the Seven Years War, Revolutionary War (which was fought all over the world by our allies), and the Napoleonic Wars. It would probably require a larger studio to make it, but it would be awesome.

Cas-teen. Same sounds as Hal-muth for Falmouth

[@craigdeaton6371]

Two men per stretcher. 50 Stretchers, 100 men?

[@grven4287]

The game moves Arnold to the British army in 1780?

[@thehistoricalgamer]

Not that I’m aware of.

[@davidstansbury9309]

Not in my play through.

[@thehistoricalgamer]

Same series, twitch is just a few months ahead in game time.

[@melcombrowne5208]

@@thehistoricalgamer I relise that I was watching the broken save. loving the series though more fur traders in canada for HBC and NY.

[@KillerSniper55]

You probably don’t need supply stretchers in every unit. Just one per brigade is more than enough.

[@fortusvictus8297]

Wagon train is the superior option. the supply stretcher is a waste of a combat unit slot.
