Ultimate General Gettysburg

[Kushan]

The guy who started the Total War series mod "Darthmod" is breaking out and doing his own game for PC and tablets. Looks like hes just getting started on it, but hes already got a developer diary up with an outline of the features for the game.

Interesting...thanks for.posting.

That looks very appealing, I hope its a project that comes to fruition.

Lots of potential.  Here is to hoping it lives up to it.

Couple of comments:

1.  The pre Alpha promo art looks spectacular.  For a moment, I thought I was looking at table top minis. 
2.  From website "Dynamic Progress - Your performance in battles affects future missions. Losing too many soldiers in your first encounter will drastically change the last days of your battle."  I'm a little worried about that statement.  Does this mean that if you do not play a perfect game up until the final battle that there is no way you could ever win?  I seem to recall Panzer General being like that.  You get to a point that if you did not preserve your high experience units properly and at the same time not take any other casualties you will not win the game.

Does look cool. I just wonder about how well it will work if it is designed for tablets and ported to PC

Thanks for the heads-up.
Although, to be honest, I've never been really interested in the ACW.

Artwork looks awesome. He posted a bunch of screenshots that showed their development process and a bunch of rejected art schemes.

I know it sounds cliche, but I'd love to see how a WW2 or Cold War game would play out with the engine.

Sounds excellent...even better, they want to go Ancients at some point.

The engine shots look excellent for ancients. Celtic tribes etc :)
