I hope you all are having a great day! Thanks for stopping by and make sure you check your tire pressure so you don't get into an accident ❤ Edit: For all those commenting about "War of Rights," I AM NOT A LOST CAUSER, the game name is literally called War of Rights
Two things this video shown me about warfare. 1. How panic inducing it must be to lose your officer or NCOs 2. How important discipline is, amongst the ranks
I could only imagine what it must have been like to stand shoulder to shoulder as an enemy volley rips through your lines (respect for those veterans, thankfully I'm just doing it in a video game)
If you're in a company with a lousy commander you will lose and it won't be any fun. If you have a good command and everyone does their jobs it can be a very realistic game, and even if you lose you know you gave it you're all.
9:50 I was in that small group that caused the Union to start running, we was making as much noise as we could to look like a bigger force and they ran like morons! lol
That, hands down, was one of most EPIC!!! moments in my 20+ years of gaming, I was super impressed with not just the whole experience but others players following orders and behaving reasonaly....and your officer actually using tactics like rank firing drills, I bet a group of players that had time to train together could become even more organised and deadly......that was pure savage organised chaos and i loved it.....1x like and sub for you, my hat off to your squad of skirmishers.
To provide some historical context for your video, it's important to understand that all Civil War infantry, excluding actual sharpshooter units, were considered light infantry. This classification differed from that of the Napoleonic wars. Regular infantry troops were often designated for skirmish duty, which could involve a single company, or multiple companies as needed. There weren't any set skirmishers; any regiment could be given this task based on their location on the field and the commander's preference. While there were instances of the best shots in companies being assigned to skirmish duty, this was the exception rather than the rule. The average engagement range between opposing forces was typically between 100 to 120 yards. As the war progressed, the proliferation of rifled muskets increased among the armies. However, the average soldier received no special training on how to utilize these rifled arms differently from the smoothbore muskets they were accustomed to. Once the first volley was fired, the battlefield was often filled with smoke, making it nearly impossible for soldiers to take aimed shots at individual opponents. Eyewitness accounts describe soldiers simply aiming at the horizon. While in a game, you might see a few hundred men on the field; actual battles would have involved tens of thousands. Thus, even taking aim at the horizon with either a smoothbore or a rifled musket would be effective at the ranges mentioned. For a deep dive into Civil War combat, I highly recommend "Civil War Infantry Tactics" by Earl Hess. Nice video!
oooh I'll check that out for sure and thank you for the info! I just finished reading Battle Cry of Freedom by McPherson, but I need to dive more into the actual tactics of the American Civil War as I started my interest in linear warfare with the Napoleonic wars and just started to branch out into the American Civil War. Please let me know if you have any other book recommendations too. I didn't want to spend too much time on the historical aspect since this is a gaming channel, buttttttttt I kinda want to incorporate more history stuff into my gaming videos hehe
Yes, those ranges are enough for a rushed and cobbled together military, during the crimean wars, Professional troops with proper length of training, can shoot a much farther range. For a conservative estimation, 500 to 700 yards.

18:48 what? Also why is everybody so caught up in the title of the game? It's called war of rights for several reasons, first off the Confederate States of America were fighting for their right to freedom from the Union, hence the name War of Rights. Secondly this war would decide whether or not millions of slaves in the southern states would be allowed their basic human RIGHT to freedom, hence the name War of Rights. Why can't we put aside controversy and arguments and enjoy a masterpiece of a game. I may not fully understand the controversy but I know enough to leave this comment. Also underrated youtuber, love your stuff.
No body wants to fight over slavery today tho. All these tuff guys. Way more slaves today than any other point in history. But let's concentrate on hate 👍
It wont be realistic until we have thousands of soldiers on the battlefield, like a true battle. WoR remains at the level of a brigade skirmish level of "realism".
Been playing this game for the last few years, absolutely amazing. Try joining with a regiment as a guest and record an organized match, they’re load of fun!
I'm actually interested in a regiment. I was actually part of one for Mount and Blade Napoleonic wars, but my schedule didn't allow me to attend all of the weekly trainings and stuff (but I am def open to joining a regiment for wor)
@@Ratmothyif you wanna join the one i run we don’t have all the drilling stuff, nor is attending events required. We run events at 3pm est and 8pm est on wednesday friday saturday and sunday. Just lmk if you wanna join in to try it out, even if you wanna just record a big 350 man organized event with us. 1st Delaware is the name of the group (i’ll send a link if you’re interested).
I loved this video....tactics won this battle...your commentary was funny too and i like when people try to not be embarrassed and talk like the character fighting
There's plenty of people who play this seriously. There's entire organized events and campaigns dedicated to just that, and in my opinion are better than pub matches. Just type in chat that you want to join a reg
I get that alot of people say the "i thought you had more subs" and or "you deserve more subs" and i do agree with the ladder statement but seriously you should haave more this stuff is great.
11:40 It isn't that the Bayo makes you shoot less accurately, it just takes longer to settle (4 seconds opposed to 2 while in formation). The group I'm with (HL) trains to just keep the bayo on because you never know when a charge will happen to or against you and it's better to be ready than have to use a wooden bat (your inverted musket) versus a sword
Very awesome video game, this is my first time discovering this game among all the endless 'modern' style FPS games out there. They did an excellent job depicting all the black powder smoke, which I imagine is hard for a lot of graphics systems to keep up with.
Hold on. Last time I saw you, you were at like 130 subs and now to 300! That amazing , awesome growth in a short amount of time! Also I’m AviationDude15, I just changed my name btw.
I used to play Day of Defeat back in the day. A totally different kind of fighting altogether, but great fun, especially when you'd get a squad that would use actual squad tactics instead of every man for himself.
Too many people legitimately believe bullets curve upward in this game. Spending 20 minutes on the range with any rifle would show you this isn't the case. You're told to aim low, for belt, for the dick etc. because it provides the best chance to hit if your round doesn't go precisely where you're aiming (guns aren't pinpoint accurate %100 of the time)
I'M NOT A LOST CAUSER - But yes I agree it should be called something that doesn't allude to the lost cause (I edited the comment bc I misread your comment originally)
@@Ratmothy I love that you used the actual tactics that were used during this war . We need a game similar to this but during the American Revolutionary War , the Napoleon wars and lastly the Anglo - Powhatan war .
Yup yup realism against real life accounts and how battles played out in real life. Thankfully, we have detailed breakdowns and accounts of how battles played out during the American Civil War (as well as other wars of linear warfare such as the Napoleonic Wars), and how units engaged as well as the length of time of those engagements. Using data from that alongside testimonies you can paint an image of how an American Civil War engagement would have looked like. Of course there is always room for error and misinterpretation, but it is almost certain that unlike what is shown in the movies, two sides did not simply march up to each other, fire a few volleys, and then blindly charge until one side won with a battle ending in 30 minutes of fighting. Not saying it never happened, but certainly not to the degree of what is depicted in movies where pretty much every battle scene plays out as I just described. Of course, I also understand that movies are movies and I'm not ragging on the writers and directors for their creative choices as long as it is reasonable, but I still felt the need to point it out for entertainment purposes LOL
I can't speak for all the maps but a lot of the maps are almost photoscanned from the real life battleground. For example, the Antietam Battle maps are extremely close to the real life thing since I've been there before. As for the rifled musket sounds, yes they sound and the effects are very close to real life too since I actually own one lol
Why is it that in my games people are deviously dropping the forbidden word and ruining my clips 😭 Do you remember when WoR first came out? The CSA side probably had a world record for the amount of insane things you would hear
There is usually 1-2 servers full at all times with more during peak hours. On these servers there are people from all over the world on it, that being said I am not sure how solid your ping would be (you can always download it and then if you can't find servers refund it within 2 hours)
@@TheJaffleMaker no worries! As long as it is under 2 hours of in-game time and you haven't had weeks pass by, you can refund it on steam no problem :)
@@Ratmothy That is not true at all. Companies in skirmish roles would often deploy in prone and kneeling positions, especially if there was cover to be gained from the terrain.
@@thegrahamsullivanshow566 rarely if ever would you prone* in linear warfare due too the cumbersome reloading process of most rifles at the time. By the civil war repeating rifles and breech-loaders changes this somewhat.
@@caineoconnell9947thats not true, prone was used when advantageous because people generally don't like getting shot, and not getting shot is more important that getting a delay in your reload. It's better to shoot slower than get shot and never shoot again.
@@caineoconnell9947 During the Crimean War soldiers did go prone when being fired by artillery, if not engaged in combat with another infantry formation, at Alma some french were 15-30 min laying down using the contours of the land for protection while Russian artillery on top of the hill fired at their position, the same happened during Waterloo, the British laying down got up at command when the French columns were near point blanc range to devastating effect, something like this but significantly smaller in scale happened during the West Indies Campaign of 1793, British light infantry layed down in line for ambush and when the French column was right in front of them were ordered to get up and fire, which shattered and routed the French column which was then charged with bayonet. There are probably others but these are the ones that come to mind, De Brac mentions the Russians when charged by cavalry threw themselves at the ground waited them to pass and got up and shot again.
Looks like an interesting game, kinda reminds of Mount and Blade Napoleonic Wars, except, of course, focuses on American history. Also, gotta appreciate being able to play as Confederacy, that's not very common and quite cool.
Ya the bullets do a wide arc and "jump" in the air so while the bullets do drop, if the enemies are close then they will go high. The officer in the game was spotting for us so he would tell us where to aim, such as "cut the grass" if he wants us to aim low.
Some maps are like that and officers are also like that but right now 7/7/24 union officers are a mixed bag and CSA is usually experienced officers and some who are charge happy
@@Ratmothy Its basically like running a round of Hunt: Showdown with like 300 people at the same time. Super taxing game, they need to optimize it (and change the bloody name)
One of the reasons I stopped playing this was because some people get way to into it. I dont need people screaming into their headsets like at 18:09. Annoying at best, painful at worst.
its kinda meh considering the game has the size of a skrimish, and without cavalry being present ATLEAST light infantry would break the formation and crawl closer to the enemy in a prone position to snipe them.
I forgot to add that this is supposed to be a small section of a wider battlefield. The way that this game does its maps is that they divide up real battles into smaller sections with bite-sized chunks.
I remember when i was playing a union where it was plain or something and there was onky rock snd some some bushes and tree in centre map (i don't remember the mao name as i okay rareky this game)and a guess what, some union officer though it was a great idea to take some skirmishers behind a medium sized rocks(they lost half its size while reaching the rock) during were rebs could have good firing range and then rebs charged at them at full force Seeing this two officers brigade though it was time to aid them so they charged at them And gues what The remaining people near the rock got smoked first even before these two brigades came and then they got smoked so harder because one rebs came from other side of plain and flanked them Now you must be wondering where i was all the time, i was around the bushes where i was able to see rebs easily and was aiming to get officers/flag bearers cuz i knew officers were shit cuz they were way too far shooting at rebs at wrong position So i was watching the whole thing away from chaos while some came back after respawning and then the funniest thing happned The ambush was so good that onky flag bearer survived and he sprinted so fast towards my direction (cuz spawn pount was in my direction) the rebs saw me and my cover was blown and boom rebs charged like hell on two people lmao (we lost game immediately after that)
ya the minie ball it shoots acts kinda funny. In real life, it travels slow enough where you can actually see the trajectory if the lighting and angle are right.
I hope you all are having a great day! Thanks for stopping by and make sure you check your tire pressure so you don't get into an accident ❤

Is there a way in the game to replenish your ammo box without having to respawn/die?
Not that I know of sadly
The PC of steel you would need to run this game 😭
Ugh if only this game was more optimized
@@Ratmothy Its basically like running a round of Hunt: Showdown with like 300 people at the same time. Super taxing game, they need to optimize it (and change the bloody name)
18:48 everyone look here
lol, my poor. Survive all of that for get killed by a mate !
Best video ever
Light infantry is everything but light.
You should be able to scavenge extra ammo from your fallen brothers. Is this game still being developed?
I agree and yes it is as far as I know, but the updates are a little slow :(
warband flashbacks
Wish this came to console
it would be great and add so many new players
The game lacks siege mechanics and I think American soldier from that war would say that the game is too simple
Why need siege mechanics, this is still fluid phase of the war
One of the reasons I stopped playing this was because some people get way to into it. I dont need people screaming into their headsets like at 18:09. Annoying at best, painful at worst.
I love this game
Game devs! Mac version! Now!
It's not realistic until you guys have a QuickTime only rule and make sure the lines are always in triple columns
that would be so fun though I wish all teams were really organized
"depection"
oooops that is my bad
Hella hectic 😮
game name?
Where were the toilets?
In your mouth.
its kinda meh considering the game has the size of a skrimish, and without cavalry being present ATLEAST light infantry would break the formation and crawl closer to the enemy in a prone position to snipe them.
I forgot to add that this is supposed to be a small section of a wider battlefield. The way that this game does its maps is that they divide up real battles into smaller sections with bite-sized chunks.
What game is this?
War of Rights (on Steam - PC Only)
The War of Rights??? LMAO
Hey I didn't name the game 😭
Don’t eat out of dumpsters
But.. tasty :(
I remember when i was playing a union where it was plain or something and there was onky rock snd some some bushes and tree in centre map (i don't remember the mao name as i okay rareky this game)and a guess what, some union officer though it was a great idea to take some skirmishers behind a medium sized rocks(they lost half its size while reaching the rock) during were rebs could have good firing range and then rebs charged at them at full force
Seeing this two officers brigade though it was time to aid them so they charged at them
And gues what
The remaining people near the rock got smoked first even before these two brigades came and then they got smoked so harder because one rebs came from other side of plain and flanked them
Now you must be wondering where i was all the time, i was around the bushes where i was able to see rebs easily and was aiming to get officers/flag bearers cuz i knew officers were shit cuz they were way too far shooting at rebs at wrong position
So i was watching the whole thing away from chaos while some came back after respawning and then the funniest thing happned
The ambush was so good that onky flag bearer survived and he sprinted so fast towards my direction (cuz spawn pount was in my direction) the rebs saw me and my cover was blown and boom rebs charged like hell on two people lmao (we lost game immediately after that)
Btw great content man (hope so yt doesn't hide this comment)
Holyshit thats the map at 16:23 as i can see the mao but at my time they were on unions right side
Thank you for the support and yeah sometimes this game turns into a movie and all you can do is sit backkk and watch
Hi
“you can take off that bayonet by the way it’s more accurate” don’t even make a comment
I thought i seen a Palmetto flag. Must be a SC company yall are playing as
its too bad about the purported racism by some in the community, because this game play is fantastic!
I agreee
Hold Faster.
10:05 damn these rifles are hella inaccurate if you hit the flag by aiming 10 ft to the left of the flag
ya the minie ball it shoots acts kinda funny. In real life, it travels slow enough where you can actually see the trajectory if the lighting and angle are right.
Wow
You aim way to low every time lol
