Current Events > Would you play a game about the American Civil War?

(+) Yeah! (+)

The Nes game is based on a Belgian comic.

Yes, and I have in the past. They're not entirely about the Civil War, but it's included as part of the game in Victoria II and III. Never played I, but it's probably there too.

They can't make that game in this current Trump era or else they would have to make Robert E Lee the hero and glorify the South.

No, itd probably be like red dead redemption and the 10 minutes I played of that was the worst most boring time of my life. Add in I have zero interest in most history stuff, especially wars, so that would make it even worse.

Rockstar covering the Civil War in a RDR3 would be amazing

I played some of The History Channel: Civil War. It was not good.

Yeah, I played that too. I only played for about an hour before putting it back in the sleeve and retuening it to Gamefly. I would have been pissed if I had actually bought that game.

I played Ultimate General Gettysburg/Civil War, they were pretty alright. I played a lot of Mount and Blade multiplayer mods that were either Civil War or Civil War adjacent, and they were pretty fun despite the focus on a limited variety of ranged weapons. Never ended up playing any of those modern multiplayer Civil War Warband-likes but they looked decent.

I'd play an American Civil War Total War game.

I know Empire is kind of in that time period but still way over 100 years too early.

Fall of the Samurai starts during the US Civil War. I was so sure that expansion was going to be a test for an Empire 2: Victoria or at least a Civil War game. People always say "oh, but there's only two sides and not enough unit variety" but you could say the same about Shogun. Just let players do some goofy shit like a Texas Independence run. I doubt Creative Assembly would be able to pull it off now, though, and they would leave out naval combat if they did.
