American Revolution is a sandbox strategy game featuring the epic historical period during the rebellion of the American colonies against the British Empire. Take on the role of the British or American Colonists, and fight for territorial control over North America. A gripping real-time campaign awaits you on a detailed 3d map where you can build your army and navy, construct military infrastructure, and fully command your armies on a regimental level. If you want even more action you can fully zoom-in and fight massive battles on a battalion level.
Fight in real-time on the global map with regiments and naval squadrons. Move your General to gain the tactical control of the situation in a minimal way. The presence of the General makes it possible to control the troops or ships directly on map, actively use maneuvers, cut supply routes, utilize different types of terrain and flank with cavalry. The battles can be fought with more detail and full tactical control by zooming-in further on the map.
If you choose to fight battles with full tactical control, the regiments become divided into smaller battalions allowing you the command of hundreds of units in real-time, creating a dazzling and realistic combat experience of the historical period. Troops are positioned in a landscape according to the placement they had on the map at the given time. Some will engage the enemy immediately, others can be re-positioned in deployment zones, while those which were further away may join later as reinforcements.
Realistic reconnaissance is simulated, making messages the basis of military intelligence and battle maneuvering. Messages can be delayed or be intercepted by the enemy, resulting in your orders not reaching your troops in time or rendering communication with your distant territories impossible.
Army management
You have full control over your army's composition. Available recruits are determined based on your success in battle and the loyalty of the population. Use these recruits to create divisions, brigades, and regiments. Keep your soldiers alive and they will learn to fight better, turning them from green rookies into crack veterans. Take too many casualties and you might not have enough recruits to reinforce your units and win the next battle. Lose too many battles and the population's loyalty and army morale will drop and the war will be lost.
Supply is essential
Three base supply items are needed for each unit: weapons, ammunition and food. Weapons and ammunition are provided by weapon factories. Weapons are received when a new unit is created and later these weapons can be replaced by better ones, according to availability. Ammunition consists of gunpowder, bullets and balls which are spent in battle and must be replenished for maintaining your army in a minimum fighting condition. It is also necessary to constantly supply your army with food, otherwise non-combat losses will grow and the morale of the soldiers will drop. The army can forage a territory for food but, in this case, the welfare of the region and the loyalty of population will deteriorate.
Food & other Resources
Food is produced in agricultural facilities. The more food a region produces, the larger the army it can feed. To increase food production, it is necessary to raise the agricultural level of the region. Surplus food will be stored in warehouses or sent to other regions. Mineral resources are needed to produce weapons, ammunition, and ships. Each region has different resources that can be mined. To increase production, it is necessary to develop the level of mineral resource extraction in a region.
Ammunition & weapon production
To produce weapons and ammunition, you must develop the military industry. The game has a simplified system, in which you need to build factories and shipyards. The factories are used for the production of small arms, guns, ammunition, and supply wagons. With the shipyards you build warships and supply ships.

I really love the way you talk out all the choices you make in the game. It really helps me learn the game as I’m playing alongside!
Boston was only evacuated because the Americans had besieged it and made the British position there untenable. That was why the guns from Ticonderoga were decisive in that it gave America effective siege artillery with which to bombard British positions in Boston. Also, the reason that Bunker Hill was important even though it was an American defeat is that it was Britain's last gasp attempt to break the siege of Boston. Although, the British were successful in taking Bunker Hill, the American defense was so stubborn and cost the British Army enough casualties that the British couldn't afford to hold onto Bunker Hill and effect a decisive break in the siege of Boston.
I had paused this and got distracted, just saw the next one drop and was like ACK gotta finish 2! This game is pretty good, and you're presenting it well. I do believe I'm getting it, and now, back to the video!
Is combining units like this the best course of action? Don't you want to use your unit advantage for flanking? Appreciate you taking time playing this game showing off the mostly complete product.
I think the same way
I feel like having 2-3x as many muskets on the firing line is better than being 1-1 but breaking, before my flank company can get on the flank, but I'm not sure that that's the best approach, just how I've been thinking about it. I don't trust my militia to hold long enough, if I had more regulars I might feel differently.
I'd rather combine. Better to have a solid regiment when the Brits get knifey
You absolutely should be flanking. Standing face to face against the British just invites massive casualties.
@@gryphon0468 i was gonna say if you got 4 units, merge 2 into 1 and have the other 2 smaller ones flank while the big one takes the initial brunt
I wish to thank you for playing these games and reviewing them. It is a tremendous help to me.
I've never played a Ultimate General game but the combat kind of reminds me of Sid Meier's Pirates! from back in the day. When you would siege a town the ground combat was so fun. I'll have to give this game a try.
Militia can field arty early on, use them if possible on the front line. Stack a regiment behind the unit to counter British melee. We complained enough to where you can give your arty better weapons than a civilian musket lol.
This game has come a long way since November. Glad to see the bugs we report get addressed.
I wait so much, love the episode 1, thanks for the video
Careful on recruiting in small towns. Casualties are felt more on your loyalty.
Thanks! I've been looking forward to this for a long time.
That loading screen always makes be chuckle. Mel Gibson throwing a rock, about to take a faceful of musket fire lol
All the people look super unconcerned that they're about to die... lol... even the dude holding the guy whose already been shot. That is NOT my understanding of the Boston Massacre at all... it was a panic after the initial volley.
@@thehistoricalgamer its AI generated art
I think you have it backwards the way the Limit Reinforcements option works in the game. I think the default is that the game will try to make things follow history as closely as possible, so if you do better than IRL the game will throw more reinforcements in to try to get things back on the historical track. Whereas with Limit Reinforcements on the game won't try to get things back on the historical track, if you do really well, and do better than what actually occurred in history.
You need to produce ammunition or you’ll run out. Should also produce cannons eventually. However, you need to mine the copper in Ft. Montgomery, for the cannon production.
Looking forward to the next episode. Am very curious about this pending Boston battle.
Please tell me why Newports geographic location is incorrect and in the area of Narragansett?
Royal fury happens if you gain too much of an advantage, and the British will reinforce from Canada and Britain. Taking the opening strategic map entirely enrages King George, and you face like 10,000 troops on top of amphibious assaults.
Continental army reforms under C.i.C. Gives you fusiliers.
why we cant capture enemy canons?? i lovely see this game at napoleonic - european theatre
Love the new content thank you for the new work. Not trying to be a back seat gamer but if you want more construction material build. Carpenter shops are key
super fun video. thank you
Oh dude did they implement deployment zones??
Not very well imho but yes!
Very Hearts of Iron/Paradox inspired this time
MIddleborough not MiddleSborough :p
Ugh
Abandon Portsmouth and redeploy the officer elsewhere.
Maaan you gotta learn how to flank. Even with your large units you’re losing way too many men to stand up fights.
Hope you find a new job
I really hate this “early access” crap, especially lasting a year or more. finish the game before expecting people to pay for it or play it in a half buggy state.
Yes, it can be a real pain and the way some companies abuse it is shameful. On the other hand, you get to play great games and watch them get even better.
It's very hit and miss. For example, '7 Days to Die', which is a fun game, has been in Alpha for around 10 years and is only just being released as V1.0 ... but on the Development Stream. It went from a promising game to a crap one and back again in 6 monthly cycles. Last I played, it was on version 21 of its Alpha. That's taking the piss. 'The Planet Crafter', on the other hand, is also a great game and the 2 person crew that developed it would have been unable to do so without the finance of an Alpha stream. It went to full release in a couple of years.
It's a crap shoot, to quote you colonial types.
Gotta love people like you, acting like you are being forced to buy early access games.
Some people just like to play games early. That's why it is called EARLY ACCESS.
You are just crying for attention.
@@birdiemcchicken1471guess i’m old enough to remember when companies didn’t put out incomplete shit years before a game was ready and expect people to pay for the privilege.
You really dont have to buy it....... Its a choice, like what toothpaste you use or what you eat.
Then….just wait for release?
It’s got mixed reviews on Steam 🔥
It does, its prolly warranted, the game is pretty buggy, that said some of the comments from folks are making incorrect statements, like the British campaign being DLC.
yeah out of curiosity i'v taken a look at thous reviews myself to see what is the state of the game so far, and while some mention things such as price (witch i agree 50 euros (54 $) it's a LOT to ask for an early access game ) and some of them mention bugs and some sound bites problems, there is a HUGE amount of them complaining about stuff such as "having to manage more than 10-15 units" ON A REAL TIME STRATEGY GAME ?! the faq?!??, having to mange to many things on the strategic map, thing such as buildings tech tree, recruting units and so on, AKA GAME IS NOT DUMB DOWN ENF, LIKE WTF ARE THOUS PEOPLE ON ABOUT ?!
like i said i agree that as of right now the price of the game is simply nonesense and this should at best be a 40 euro game, so if you are looking to get it i would say w8 for a BIG discount, but other than that i'v been reading a lot of thous negative reviews to see what's what, and sooo many of them are just pure nonesense, complaning about basic CORE rts mechanics
Looks terrible like all the rest of this series. Glad to see you shilling it hard though. Gotta pay them bills.
I’m sorry if you didn’t like them but in my opinion Gettysburg was very good and civil war was pretty good.
@@thehistoricalgamer maybe I'm just not clever enough to grasp it. Like you are with graviteam...
Thank you for your invaluable insight.
Historical gamer you have class, responding to this obvious troll who needs a new hobby.
