Quote from: Gusington on July 08, 2023, 08:22:09 AMI still have not played Age of Sail - you all enjoyed it?

Enjoyed it immensely and finsihed the British campaign. However have to finish the second campaign (Americans) and buy the barbary one. I eventually intend to finish both final campaigns.
Ultimate Admiral Age of Sail was a fairly canned campaign where you could choose whether or not to do side missions or not, as well as a selection of delegated missions you could assign captains to, but could only auto resolved. Then of course you could choose when to do the main missions by skipping or finishing all of the side missions. Often making up stength by completing side missions before doing the main missions in a turn.
I loved collecting a fleet and choosing my captains and crews for each ship. Maintaining a fleet of transports with troops was also good fun.
Now if ultimate general american revolution combines all of the above with a total war style campaign in real time with supply lines and such that total war did not have, well..:::: I might just faint with joy.

Looks like they were testing the purchase pages, maybe close to release and a glimpse into options to buy...they took it down since then. Not sure what officer in game means to warrant the extra $30 to have it...care less about name in credits:)

An officer based on an image users submit?

Not sure:) Seems kind of a weird thing but to each their own if someone likes that:) Maybe just your name or something, which is also something I could care less about, especially for $30 more.

While it'd be cool to put in my French Army ancestor that fought in the war with the Colonials it's not $30 cool.

My Revolutionary War officer would be Benedict Arnold. That way I could play either side whenever I wanted.

Actually, I've always had a particular affinity for Francis Marion The Swamp Fox.

I suppose a portrait of a seal would break immersion.

....not in water. Historical immersion. Metaphorically.

Sir Slash · July 11, 2023, 11:25:26 AM

Major Loin Moistening?

Gusington · July 11, 2023, 07:34:51 PM

Both sound adorable.

Need this game so badly. But I can wait for steam. Bit over early access.... unless it is on steam. Then I might bite.
In the mean time I guess I could go for Ultimate Admiral Again and continue my US campaign.... one look at it and it had my head spinning. I have no idea what I was thinking back when I started the campaign. It's rather like coming back to a total war campaign after years away.

Grim.Reaper · July 26, 2023, 04:30:08 AM

Yep, still my number one anticipated release. Hasn't been any new information released in awhile so really no idea if close or not. For awhile there, thought it would be released around July 4th holidays and if not then by end of July (totally based on nothing). But seems unlikely with no additional hype going on. For me, I don't care whether it releases on Steam or not as their own game launchers have worked easily and without any issue for me and I assume when it comes to actual release it will eventually get to Steam anyways. No way I can hold off playing this as interests me way too much.

Destraex · July 26, 2023, 04:39:32 AM

I hear you, but I really want to hold off. Damn I hope this is multiplayer.
P.S. Do we know how the other games labs game is coming along? The single\coop sailing game similar to naval action, but with the internals of the ship modeled.

Grim.Reaper · July 26, 2023, 04:48:24 AM

In all the web site info provided, screenshots, trailer, forums, discord, etc. there has been no indication of multi-player. And since AOS didn't have it, suspecting that will continue to be the case, but who knows. I know you enjoy multiplayer games but I am the complete opposite so I always like it when the developers fully focus on single player:) But of course the best option would be to include single and multi player to reach a wider audience.
