Grand Tactician: The Civil War Clearly in early access-- but WOW!

If you are into tactical ans strategy gaming, check this one out. It is far from done, the graphics are far from astonishing, and the game play is a little jerky at times.

But wow! It is an ambitious game. I hesitate to call it an "open world" game, but you are pretty much free to do whatever you want. I sent a fleet of hips to aid Fort Sumter and saved it. I had Richmond in May of 1861 and Atlanta by June. Again-- still early access, but amazingly promising if this is your thing.

Looks pretty good, but I'll wait. He already got me hooked on Bannerlords. 😄

It needs a lot of work so waiting might be a good idea. The map controls are really touchy and things happened that are difficult to grok. The AI needs work.

But as a playable pre-release I see a lot of promise.


I'll check out Bannerlords. This is the first I even herd the name!
