I choose a Southern campaign commanding an Infantry regiment. (7th Georgia) My first battle we where heavily out numbered by the Federals by 5k men yet Johnston the army commander ,divided his command and we were overrun. Something needs to be done about the AI. The only silver lining in that engagement is that Johnston was KIA in the battle and Jackson is now in command.
Sadly, my game is totally bugged. The USA captured Richmond in 14 days and the entire CS armies are somewhere in West Virginia... doing nothing since 1 year.
Very similar experience on US side. CSA captured Philadelphia but got defeated. But US division is just sitting out side and not taking it back, even though there is no enemy in there
Glad this came out but I really soured on this game with numerous bugs and performance issues.(+miserable handling of player artillery) I hope the accompanying patch helps. Completed the view, sad that same jankiness is still present
I think they improved the base game a ton between EA and final release. It’s still a bit janky and not polished like a AAA game would be, but for the scope they have and the fact there’s only one Programer I’m a bit more forgiving. The state of the DLC on release was disappointing to be sure, I hope they improve it. I’m curious to give the patch they rolled out this morning a look.

Lot's of Officers in both armies reached the field grade level (major thru Colonel and General officer in their 20's - Custer for example was a general in his mid 20's)
I chose a Union campaign, max difficulty, max ai aggressiveness. I sat in the Northeast Virginia army station in Washington DC for 2 years...still no combat. The Reb Army of the Potomac is right across the river...also just sitting. Kind of disappointed in the lack of action so far.
Weird! In my game here we attacked right away as you can see, and then after we lost, the CSA counter attacked us within like 2 weeks... so we've got two fast battles, just on standard settings.
I mean, this is about as competent as the Union Army was at first Manassas.. But only so much you can do on a scale where you don't really have a lot of support - random regiments stuck up on teh ford and going up one at a time doesn't leave you a lot of room in things. Then again, one could see the AI glitches as a feature as far as playing accurate to the ability of the actual generals and troops at this point in the war..
Everything is written on top of the engine, that doesn't mean every game problem is an engine problem. I did some work on Scourge of War: Waterloo, and while that game had some issues for sure, the bulk of the complaints, had nothing to do with Engine limitations i.e. architecture limitations (32 bit has a 4 Gig RAM limit)... the engine doesn't decide the architecture, for example the updates being worked on for SOW are moving to 64 bit, but without changing the underlying engine.
Are we talking about GTTCW? Or SoW? The engine they're using in GTCW is trash - just like the AI. If you want to duel, duel me on the eastern front, not in the youtube comments. @@thehistoricalgamer
First hearing haute cuisine pronounced as hot-a cuisine and then hearing the surprise that someone in the 19th century wouldn't weigh more than 72kg (which is a very healthy weight for the time, especially considering how short Americans generally are) is the most American thing I have ever heard.
5:48 I don't think this ever happened outside of very old guys but early in the war a few of the regimental officers were there cause they raised, bought equipment for, and usually paid for training people from their hometown. William Utley of the Wisconsin 22nd comes to mind and you should look him up, fascinating guy.
yes, you can use custom pictures of yourself. I have already done it. I kept losing track of my brigade commander and other units in my brigade when I was regimental commander. Wish they could do some type of highlight for other units in your brigade. But overall I still Love this game. Hope they keep tweaking it and improving on it.
I wonder if letting the player deploy the army and then giving the AI control might make things a big better. As it stands you just blob onto the map and that’s frustrating.
@@thehistoricalgamer One of the big things about this dlc that got me excited was actually how small you are in the grand scale of things. Maybe a bit of a weird thing compared to what other people might be excited about but I want to seize surprise opportunities the larger movements of armies might make. Player deployment cheapens both of these Edit: almost no input from Brigade leaders either. “Go to this position” they don’t suggest anything. Completely passive.
Go brigade commander. Hopefully you’ll be able to command various regiments and actually have some effect on the overall battle… This DLC seems to take away from what makes the game fun… idk I’d love to see this game format in a Napoleon Wars campaign.
I love how this video checks out: A commander who is bad at math, thus likes to gamble, and prefers to hire a personal assistant rather than a quartermaster tepidly leads his green unit with cold feet into a confusing mess that is First Manassas. Then questions career choices, hangs out with artillery. But then the war starting with Ulysses S Grant and Robert E Lee as head officers in each army does hurt the credibility of the whole concept.
@@thehistoricalgamer What is that from 32:40- 34:05 then? Says R.E.Lee is commander of the confederate armies and Ulysses S Grant is top tactician within the Union Army?
@@fortusvictus8297 You're right about it saying Lee is the commander of confederate armies, but the part where it shows Grant is just the game's hall of fame ranking of your specific general. Like a score system.
correct me if I'm wrong but weren't there military academy cadets who were in their 3rd and 4th yearswho were assigned like Platoon level elements? I think I remember reading that somewhere.
So with the West Point questions you could make a character that is just like Pickett at the bottom or someone more like Lee and Gouverneur Kemble Warren who were at the top of their class.
you can start out being able to command multiple units but it does matter in the question i started multiple characters and had anywhere from 500 dollars and 200 prestige to 500 prestige and 1,100 dollars. so all of the questions matter a lot on what you want to start with but you cant command a whole army so far in the beginning.
Played twice now. There is a serious issue with AI - after initial fights the armies just sit there forever. I had no battles since 1861 and I’m in 1864 now.
@@thehistoricalgamer I’m playing US, 4th fivision. Had about 4 battles in Virginia in 1861, CSA retreated, so did we. We have camped in enemy territory for the winter (18161) and are out of supplies, together with 80% of union armies. It’s 4th division is stuck in “broken” status in enemy territory and does not move. None of 80% of US armies in CSA territory are moving be it campaigning Season or winter. It’s 1864 and 4th Division is still stuck in Broken status and out of supplies in Virginia with no enemy around. In my second game I have upped the aggressiveness and joined 2nd Division of US. Had battles all of 1861 and then we camped for winter in enemy territory. Same story here - stuck in Broken status and can’t move due to lack of supplies. I have taken command of a regiment in 1st Division near Philadelphia because it was the only active unit and taken part in a battle around Philadelphia with CSA invaders. We have defeated them , all they have is a fort W of Philadelphia with 36 men garrison. However our division is just sitting outside of the city , full supplies and fully manned units and we’re not capturing it back.
Listening to this, it sounds like you had quite a cold while recording. Hopefully you recovered quickly and all the THGfamily had a great summer. Just a few more years until kindergarten!!
I so badly want to get this game and this DLC, but there are so many reports of jank and AI issues, I just can't go through with it. I hope these issues get ironed out.
Seems game is unplayable as regiment commander since you cant do much and thus get too few prestige to make you out on higher ranks. Especially if you decide to start as an arty battery captain. But the game is more enjoyable on brigade+ command level. Then you can play important role in most of the battles, get prestige and roll to the top of command. US also have divisions at start, so may skip brigade level, get yourself a division and then you even can go with your division whenever you want on strategic map. To do all of this at start just Skip&Randomize until you get proper amount of prestige. The highest I rolled was around 9,5K which make me possible to be a major general. But you may want save some prestige as even a brigade general can command a division or a whole army. P.S. Just dont forget to check your traits while rolling and dont get too bad ones.
I can’t think of any other recent games where you rank up like this, there was a really old civil war game I use to get from our library 20 years ago where you start as a captain but that was a LONG time ago and I don’t remember the name of the game.
I role play as August Willich (prussian communist general) and overrun the rebels with my regiment (9th ohio) and I got promoted strait up to command a division, I not even have a chance commanding a brigade yet.
They did push a AI patch out today… which makes me wonder what on earth they released it in its current state if they had any kind of patch ready that fast. Going to play again tonight and see if it’s better.
Crashed halfway through the war in Aug. 63. I'm getting tired of this buggy game, I've already wasted 2000 hours playing a crappy AI. Maybe they should have spent more time debugging the campaign game rather than developing a DLC that doesn't work. Back to Warno, at least it works.
2000 HOURS? HOLY CRAP lol... Crappy AI or not, I'd say you got your moneys worth lol... what is that like 1 penny per hour? I get it can be frustrating mind you... I just don't think I could commit that much time to something unless I loved it. Heck I don't think I have more than 500 hours in any game except maybe War in the Pacific Admirals Edition and MAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Scourge of War. Both games are off steam though so I don't have a count.
@@thehistoricalgamer When you're retired, 74 and detest TV, you just have to find other shit to do. A campaign game covers years, by the minute, and I've played several over the 2 years I've owned this game. Could be the greatest game ever if they got their shit together and made it work correctly. Multi-player battles would be amazing too. Don't know about this new DLC. Too realistic. Bored to death most of the time.
@@thehistoricalgamer I just spent another 5 hours after starting a new game, commanding the 3rd MI. Got in a couple fights in 61. The whole damn Army of Northeast VA spent the next year and a half in DC without a single engagement. Finally in August 63 the Rebs attack DC, massive battle 200000 troops & it crashed.
There was a patch last night and restarting seems to have solved the problem. The battle loaded, although it took a long, long time. Anyway, we lost the battle. I did well and was promoted to brigadier general in command of my own brigade. Didn't matter though, my brigade sat in DC for another year playing poker, until we lost the war. McClellan was Lt. General and McDowell commanded the Army of NE VA, which explains why. In this DLC you spend a lot of time waiting, it gets boring.
I love how stupid the AI commanders are. Watching them POUR troops over the river onto the flank of the enemy and rather than ATTACKING HIS FLANK, they march through the hail of bullets to cross BACK to the Union side of the river?!?
I was gonna give the game a 2nd chance to captivate my interest but at the end of the video of the AI just derping tf out on your game and everyone else in the comments reporting the same like behavior... I think I'm gonna pass. Ashame because I was really, really trying to find a reason to force myself to learn the game.
Born in '27. Worried that he's too young to enlist in '46-'48. ... Well, with a name like "Butcher" he's not going to become famous for his brains, that's for sure. Good roleplay? XD
Yea that was kinda amusing... my guess is the game was like... this guy isn't arty... or cav... shit where else do we put him. I would have thought Infantry, since that was sortta the undistinguished career path... but maybe I wasn't a fuckup enough in the questions.
@ 16:48 Nope. That would make you around 6' tall if we assume he is in good shape. He would be described as "lean" in those days. That's about my size when I'm in shape (I'm about 15 pounds heavier when I'm not--as I am), and I'm a little over 6'. @ 17:21 Not to presume, but it's possible you just think that because your frame of reference--that is, other Americans--are so overweight. At 180, it sounds like you were pretty healthy weight-wise in college. Did your doctor say anything to the contrary? People can vary, after all. I remember thinking I looked gaunt next to other people; it took a while--and talking to doctors--to realize this wasn't the case. If this is all the case, then your clothes just hanging on you is because they were the wrong size.
Why the heck did these Devs worked on and put out this crap DLC instead of iron out the problems the got with AI handling tactics. This is taking the game into a very different direction. Messing it up big time. They are a little team not able to branch out into roleplay before they got the proper game 100% working. Maybe they come to the point that they feel forced to do put something very new into the game boosting sales. It's a bloody shame.
I started as a captian(foreginger saying i was british). hoping i can find a way to start as an lt. but captian im quite pelased with as is. give me more to gain.
Stop the Southern accent... you Irishman you. 😉 Questions. Can you RP from border states? Say, a Northern or Southern Maryland unit? I'm asking in hopes of buying this for that reason. Thanks.

Maybe they come to the point that they feel forced to do put something very new into the game boosting sales. It's a bloody shame.
Not a role playing game, it's strategy
When you play the DLC, in Career mode, it 100% is role playing.

Stop the Southern accent... you Irishman you. 😉 Questions. Can you RP from border states? Say, a Northern or Southern Maryland unit? I'm asking in hopes of buying this for that reason. Thanks.
