Ultimate General gameplay footage..

I find it weird to see all of the fire going on, and then no results. It removes the immersion a bit when so many rounds flying don't leave any bodies behind. Hell, the unit sizes didn't even seem to shrink in any noticeable way. I'd like some visual representation of mounting casualties.

its ironic that one of the first thing Darth always released for the TW games was a 'troop slow down' feature

LOL!

Indeed.

Yep. I would also like to see more carnage.

you can see the troop numbers falling when the shooting starts, and then they fall some more when one of the brigades get blasted by canister shot

FWIW i didnt see any of that watching the footage sat on the toilet using my Samsung, as soon as i switched to PC it was like 'oooohhhhhhhhhhhh, look at all the units and stats, and in battle comments the HQs make'

Hot damn!

It looks like the pictures in a book about the Civil War, from about 40 years ago.

I think SOW does if you play it zoomed out a ways.

Looks like it plays like Total War.

The kid in me likes the graphics while the old man wants a speed slider.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

wow...and the expected price is only $10.......

from the developers post......

"Price for the Early access edition will be 10 US Dollars. Price might go higher for the release version"

JudgeDredd · May 31, 2014, 02:32:37 PM

I love low prices - but that sounds ridiculous

undercovergeek · May 31, 2014, 02:38:03 PM

oh man - just when i thought id drawn a line under this years purchases - dammit

Anguille · May 31, 2014, 02:43:04 PM

10£$? That's too cheap, isn't it?

undercovergeek · May 31, 2014, 02:48:53 PM

i suppose itll answer the question thats usually levelled at Matrix - sell it cheaper to pull the numbers in - hope it works for them

Grim.Reaper · May 31, 2014, 02:51:36 PM

I am not certainly going to say no to cheap prices:)

I wonder if it will be destined for a bunch of dlc add ons....
