Ultimate General: American Revolution

[JasonPratt]

Meanwhile, this reminds me that I long ago bought a Polish(?) game from Matrix which included a rather asymmetrical sandbox US independence campaign with tactical battles. I forget the name, might not even work on today's systems, but I never got around to playing it.

You're probably thinking about For Liberty!

Yeah, I don't think it works on modern systems.

I have For Liberty and the free 1848 game from the same developer and they both work on my Windows 10 desktop. I just fired up For Liberty and it plays fine though the graphics are very dated.

Both are pretty decent games for their time.

Damn I forgot all about 1848...

The news we have been waiting for!  Sort of....although ready for EA release, they are having issues with their release platform:(  Hopefully they figure out quickly....

We have good news and bad.
I will start with the good part. We made huge progress with the game in October with the help of focus testers. Many of the game's crashes were fixed, the balance improved, a huge amount of game-breaking bugs were fixed, usability of different game mechanics was improved.  The game is ready for EA release. The game will include the US campaign from April 1775 till August 1776. The campaign will contain 3 stages - Boston, ft. Ticonderoga and Canada. The content is good for learning the game and providing feedback that will help us improve the game. We will continue to develop further content for the US campaign opening the whole map after EA release.
Now a bad part - Unfortunately we have an issue with the release now because the Xsolla platform has problems. We work with the Xsolla team to fix them ASAP.

Buhhh - where's my red coats at

But still can't wait

[Destraex]

Has this one been posted? Looking good.

[Grim.Reaper]

They reported today still working on distribution platform issues, some it works for them while others it doesn't.  No eta on fixes and release.

[Gusington]

Yeah they have been working with Xsolla (SP?) for a few weeks. Not sure what the specific problems are.

[Grim.Reaper]

Seems like one thing after another with this game, would have thought this stuff figured out earlier...hope this is not a sign of things to come.

The problems with Xsolla have been fixed, but now we are waiting for a response from Steam. Can we provide keys to all early backers when the game releases on Steam? Steam has started to make life very difficult for game developers lately. We need to understand where the game will be released in the future to provide keys: Steam or Epic Game Store. We still hope that Steam will be the platform where the game will be released in EA.

Sounds like a whole lot of horse $hit to me.

Yep, starting to sound like excuse after excuse and it's not their first game so not sure why they wouldn't have known this stuff from the start.

[CaptainKoloth]

Yeah, in my experience when a developer starts blaming their distribution platform - on which hundreds of games are released daily- for some vaguely articulated issue preventing them from release... there's other stuff going on.

[Grim.Reaper]

Release date has been announced....next Tuesday, November 14th.
