Robert e lee civil war general game free download

In addition, you will find that between battles, you have a chance to restock your men, reorganize your troops, or even discharge an ineffective officer although the fault is probably all yours, but it feels good anyway. This section of the game is not difficult to perform and helps one understand the state of distress that the South was in during the war. This part of the interface is all graphical, and users should find no problems understanding it. This break in between battles is both desired and realistic, letting you choose how to build the Confederate army.

After all, you are Robert E. Lee, Civil War General. Once I got into my first battle which you can do practically immediately if you like , I started to understand the attraction of a turn-based system.

Never before had I played a turn-based strategy wargame that made me feel the kind of tension, excitement, and "just five more minutes" feeling that a well-done real-time wargame can convey. As a game progresses well, you can feel the excitement of cornering an enemy brigade and forcing it to surrender, as well as the dread and "please wake me when it's over" horror of a rout on the battlefield.

This is where this game really scores true. If you want to jump right in without touching a manual or reading a single page, you can do so.

If you want to browse the museum, read the manual from cover to cover, and take notes while doing so, you can. The execution of this game is very smooth, and I am glad to have the genre introduced to me in such a skillful manner. I would get into more specifics on why this game is so good, but I'd rather have you check it out for yourself and see. You'll thank me for it. As I said before, the multimedia aspect of the game is well done.

On the battlefield, it feels almost as if you were looking at an old diorama or reenactment model, but as soon as you hear the rebel yell of the soldiers and see the gunsmoke and aftermath of an attack, you will feel differently.

All individual skirmishes are accompanied with video and of course audio footage from civil war reenactments, with hundreds of men dressed in period costume and carrying period weapons, pulling you into the game. Even if you feel that the video gets in the way or is occasionally repetitive, you can simply turn the battle video off with the click of a button. In addition, the multimedia found within the historical archive is well-produced and properly chosen, providing a great deal of atmosphere to an already well-done product.

Also, the artwork for the manual and screen backgrounds is both appropriate and very stirring. A vast number of single scenarios are included, along with a dozen or so full campaigns, as well as alternative and historical battles.

Let your imagination soar and try to change or re-create in vivid detail the American Civil War. Graphics: Superb graphical depiction of individual units, flags, uniforms, terrain and more.

The attention to detail is extremely high and one can definitely see the result of designer pride in putting together a realistic simulation of the Civil War and its many components. Sound: Terrifically enhancing music from the Civil War era and excellent sound effects complement game play very nicely. Enjoyment: If you are a Civil War buff, the possibilities inherent in the game are nearly endless.

With the scenario designer, historically accurate troop representations as well as battle ingredients, compelling and intense game play and a smart AI, the game serves a great source of enjoyment.

Even the casual gamer should get a feeling of satisfaction of "winning" one of the many, many scenarios or just enjoy the sheer volume of information included. Lee: Civil War General.

Let me say upfront i 'm not a resident of US -therefore, i was blown away when i've noticed the games i used to play and made my childhood so happy are still here! Please don't let '90 games to die. Defiant points. The Civil War was not only about slaves. It was also that the south wanted to govern themselves, they cared more about states rights.

Dd3 1 point. If you think its racist to play this game you are a complete idiot and I hope you die. The General's Daughter 14 points. My father loved this game. We had it for our old PC and he would play it every day. I remember the graphics and the music vividly. It didn't play eventually when we upgraded and he was so sad he couldn't play it. Kept an old PC in the basement just to run it.

Eventually that stopped working. Years passed and somehow he found it again, probably an emulator or somehow updated to run on newer windows systems. So on a whim, I looked it up.. So thanks for sending me down a bitter sweet memory lane!

This game is a valuable teaching tool, and full of history. Please give it a shot! No, this game is not racist. Modern wargames are not racist for letting you play as the terrorists. American Revolutionary War games are not anti-American if they let you play as the British.
