[MengJiao]

Well, it shownuff ain't ya'll's GranDaddy's Rome II, in fact it ain't your GranDaddy's nuthin' (if you know what I mean)

But it is a Civil War Mark II by AGEOD:

Shooooweeee!  Dang it!

I'll be excited to see the evolution of the AGE engine.  They've supposedly reworked the UI and some of it's key features.  I seriously hope they've figured out a way to increase the text size.  It's one of the things I don't get.  You have a beautiful game, but it's nearly impossible because the text is written at one pixel wide fonts.

Should be fun.  I think I've bought every AGEOD game and had a moderate amount of fun at most of them.

I have a growing list of Matrix games I'm hoping to get:  Combat Ops Russian Front Game, Command (nautical remake of Byzantium 1908),
and of course, this here Civil War II (Boom-boom in America, BBA).

Looks very interesting.  I haven't played any AGEOD games so this might be my first.

AGEOD civil war is one of my favorites!

I've heard generally good things about AGEOD's first ACW title, looking forward to the sequel.

Could you expound on that?

I wonder why no one has done a dedicated Jackson's valley campaign game?  Seems like AGEOD could do one of those.

To me, it just had a better immersion factor than FoF (which I still really liked) and GG WbtS (Which I couldn't get into even though I wanted to)

You had to 'worry' about your troops in the winter months. You had to pay attention to your supply lines. You had plan your Armies organization .. I love the music, it really puts you in the era.

They need to get a better way to organise your command heirarchies, and present the combat data in a more accessible and easy assimilate-able way. And make the font a bit bigger for Bison.

I'm a bit off Ageod titles since PoN, but, with the ACW, I'm willing to get my excitement and enthusiasm back. ACW was the first Ageod title that I battled away at until I understood it. So I have an inherent love for it, and the era. I'm hoping this is a slick evolution of the UI and the mechanics. Anyway which way, I'm already sold.

You are making it sound so very tempting especially since I enjoyed FoF so much.  How is the learning curve if I've never played a AGEOD game before?

It's steep-ish, but not THAT steep! If I can get to grips with it!!! :)

I own Birth of the Federation 2, Alea Iacta Est, World War One Gold, Vainglory (Pride) of Nations, and ACW. 

There are only two AGEOD games I own that I really could understand and immerse myself with strongly and that was World War One Gold and ACW.

I can't wait to get ACW II!!!!!!

I own Birth of the Federation 2

I don't think that is quite what you meant  :)

Although Montcalm as a Klingon and Wolfe as a Vulcan could be interesting.

I was just gonna say, I wasn't sure which to demand first -- the game itself, or the time-travel device W8taminute obviously used to obtain it.  :P
