Early Access Review
For Early Access this is really good! I loved the original Ultimate General: Gettysburg, and even though a lot of new innovations are added to this title, and even though I'd still recommend this game they're still a lot of issues that I feel people should be aware of before spending 30 dollars.

Cons:
Officers and Regiments- anyone who played the first Ultimate General knows one of the most immersive aspects of the game was how every brigade was manned by their historical officer and they're was a drawn portrait of them next to their name. Even the most famous generals like William Sherman don't have a portrait next to their name, and the vast majority of Brigades rehash the same names leading to fighting General Bee's brigade in every battle of the war. Hopefully by full release the developers study their history and make it a bit more immersive.
Map topography- Another great feature from UGG was the ability to read the topography of the map via contour lines, yet they removed this from UGC making it far more difficult to position your troops/cannons.
Audio- It's still good, but it definitely needs improvements. Minor fix, but once you notice it you can't forget it.
Troop movement- I really dislike the way the soldiers move in this installment. In UGG it wasn't perfect but now it feels like the brigades aren't following my mouse cursor when I move them. This is doubly true when I'm moving troops over bridges, it's really difficult to move them over bridges for some reason.

That was pretty critical, but this game is still great, a few minor improvements and it'll be the best civil war era game, maybe even the best "line infantry" game of all time. Highly recommend for any strategy gamer, just be conscious that it isn't a carbon copy of UGG but in different battles!
