Darth finally makes his equivalent of Napoleon: Total War:
> To avoid any misunderstanding. It is next game in Ultimate General series. Ultimate General will get new 3D engine, naval battles and landing operations.
>Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail is a tactical wargame immersing players into naval service in time of the American Revolutionary War, French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars.
>Player can make career in British Royal Navy or become a father of Continental Navy. He will pass through multiple naval and landing battles, form and grow his fleet and achieve high rank and respect.

My only gripes so far are the lack of global map AGAIN, and it seems the unit size has become too fucking small.
This is been developed in parallel with Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnought (which is a pure naval game).

Eh, there's already empire total war for naval stuff, unless he can improve that, it's a pass
314f16 No.15993687
Hopefully it turns out good if for no other reason than it will give CA much needed competition, the naval landings from boats is actually pretty unique, I do not think I have seen that in a game before.

Though do you have a point considering the infantry scale seems severely reduced compared to UG:CW.

You mean apart from being an autistic asshole so bad at interacting with other people that not even CA wanted anything to do with him? His history of getting butthurt over dumb shit and threatening to "leave modding forever"? His shit mods that get way, waaaay too much positive word of mouth, have the Imperial March from SW shoved into them EVERY TIME and are basically just "Give everyone unlimited cash and make stacks 40 units large"?

but i like having 40 unit stacks and unlimited money to play with in total war
Otherthan that, I don't know what you're talking about and I don't really care what CA thinks. He's likely less of a fag than anyone gargling cocks at CA

UG civil war is a great game, loved it even though it got kind of stale for me because each battle is pretty predictable. All I'm saying is there's Naval Warfare in ETW and it looks basically the same as this from these screenshots, that's all i'm saying

I see your point, but everyone is wishing this to be the better ETW since ETW sucks quite ding dong.
The fact this game, made by a bumfuck ukie+greek studio out of nowhere, manages to look as good as ETW is something.

Man, Darth is something you learn from, he quits and forms his own team.

Not to mention his insufferable habit of self inserting himself in any way he can into a mod.

I remember him throwing a autistic bitchfit when he wasn't invited to some event made by CA or SEGA. My impression of him is that of a hedgefund-kid that got told one too many times that he was special.

He's actually a fairly nice guy and >>15994213 is the real autistic asshole. The guy for example went above and beyond in regards to updating his mod and really tried fixing the AI and the economy as opposed to that fag radius who basically just recycled vanilla models and made a single unit fifty times.

ETW has a bug that kills your framerate if any unit walks through debris. So your option with fort battles are to either disable, have meatshields climb the walls, or pray. Was never fixed and can't be fixed by mods because AI routines are hardcoded.

I have only played Gettysburg and it was fun, even though it was made in (((Unity))) and used (probably) its default unpolished user interface. Looking forward to this.

My question with Ultimate General, is the enemy AI good, or is it the same "March towards enemy, stop ranged units the second they are in range of someone and fire, suicide general because they're one of the faster troops in the game, whoops whole army routed :))))" bullshit you can find in just about any TW?

Alright, enlighten me. It's been years after all. The only time I remember darth being hostile to something, anything really, was during the now ancient time when TWCentre allowed for political discussions in off topic. And he being greek iirc was fairly adamant in that kebab should in fact be removed.

Again, how does that concern me or anyone else on this board? If his games are good and he doesn't inject them with poz, he can spend his time flinging literal shit at SEGA and CA while screeching autistically for all I care

I tried Ultimate General because of thread here a while back. It's fun, but it didn't really seem much better than Empire or Napoleon Total War. Artillery is almost as bad as in vanilla Empire, but with the time limits you don't even get much opportunity to use it. Cavalry is surprisingly slow, and often I have retreating enemy infantry rally while its being run down by melee cavalry.
Instead of making another 18th/19th century musket game he should make something Victorian, because CA sure as hell won't.

Usually, one side takes up a proper line of defensive positions, the other side has to form into a counter line and then everything happens from there; takes over 30-40 minutes to finish a battle. There's about 12 main maps (that get cut up for minor skirmish scenarios), most have features only a human or set piece AI can really exploit. For Gaine's Mill the rebel AI absolutely charges in its general first if you hold the giant hill near spawn, but the general's unit is just an AOE morale booster that doesn't do anything else.
It's like a well made puzzle game than anything: figure out the acceptable cost of the objectives, get more cover/sick flanks than the enemy over the fight, and keep it together until you win. AI will never try profound strategic shifts if you have a dominant position, but it will sometimes accidentally flank if you let it. Balance breaks if you have your guys force run everywhere; you get to all the cover first (the AI is happy to sit in bad cover, even 0% rivers), run down routing units so they can't reform, and have a snowballing numerical superiority from faster reinforcements.
8/10 game
8/10 AI (when 'proper' scenario happens)
5/10 AI (when unexpected things happen)

Try to assault an entrenched artillery position when they fire canister at your troops and watch your unit suffer crippling losses.
As for the cavalry nerf, yes, it's irritating they made it rather useless.

I enjoy line infantry trading volleys so I'd say yes. Don't expect anything amazing, though. You can also try Imperial Glory for something similar or even better Fields of Glory if you don't mind dos graphics.

Nigger, just play Ultimate General: Civil War in the downtime.
Maybe say the battles are predictable, but it's about what? 10-20 battles, for both sides? That's around 40 battles, and a battle would cost about 40 to 2 hours, so yeah, UG:CW is gonna cost you a lot of time.
