Description

A Tactical Wargame that allows you to command thousands of soldiers as a Union or Confederate General during the Battle of Gettysburg. The strategy game features unique hand drawn map, complex morale, innovative controls and smart AI.

Ultimate general: Gettysburg is a critically acclaimed indie wargame with one of the highest user ratings for strategy games on Steam and Metacritic.


KEY FEATURES
==============

**Campaign
The campaign is split into 10 historical missions from the first engagements to the famous “Pickett’s charge”. Missions present different levels of complexity that will give you hours of gameplay.

**Unique Controls & Unit Self-Awareness
The game plays in real time, but you can pause at any time to plan your strategy and give orders to units. Drag simple movement arrows to command large forces as if you are drawing them on the tactical map. Units do not need micromanagement, able to act on their own: re-aligning, switching targets, withdrawing and forming battle lines without player input.

**Smart AI
The AI commanders are able to evaluate and gain tactical superiority in real time, reacting to your actions; fighting aggressively or defensively replicating actions of a competent human player. The game will provide the significant challenge on higher difficulty levels.

**Detailed Map of Gettysburg
We used satellite images and historical maps, recreating important locations, houses, ridges and hills that are depicted as accurately as possible within the game’s unique art style. If you are an American Civil War enthusiast, you will be happy to notice the amount of precision and information that the map provides. Not only will you be able to better understand the historical layout of the map, but also you will be able to use of each location and landmark in battle, thanks to the simulation of cover, concealment, terrain and high ground in the game.

**Advanced Line of Sight
Elevation and obstructions will affect unit visibility realistically. Units will use concealment and cover to survive artillery barrages, stage ambushes and more, but beware – the AI will attempt to do the same.

**Tactics matter
In Ultimate General: Gettysburg, you will realize that army units are not “machines” that blindly follow orders, but need to conserve strength and courage for decisive battle actions. Every basic tactical element that is expected from a strategy game is important for winning battles. Unite morale is affected by multiple factors including flank or rear attacks, casualties, volley shocks, artillery fire and fatigue.

**Historically Accurate Forces and Leaders
Ultimate General: Gettysburg includes the full order of battle for the Union Army of the Potomac and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Command famous brigades like the Iron Brigade, Louisiana Tigers, 1st Vermont, Bucktail Brigade, Gibraltar Brigade, Excelsior Brigade and many more.

**Differences with the PC version
The game was redesigned from the ground up to provide good usability and playability on tablets. If you have played the game on the PC, the major change is in the campaign flow and in the user interface. The tactical combat and its features were tuned only slightly. You will be able to experience the same depth and challenge on iPad.

This game is what I was looking for

I was readiNg the comments on this game before buying it. It was all positive, so I hopped on and played and now I can’t stop playing the strategy is amazing you have to find the right balance of attacking and defending. It’s hilarious how people complain in the comments the most I saw was how bad the units are and stuff lol you guys must be blind or something if you don’t see all the stuff on the unit you click and you have to have incredible awareness so you don’t lose morale from a charge. The funny part is people say that the units also run into the enemy I have not had this problem the only thing that does happen is they chase the enemy away which is good detail is saw. I hope you guys add more levels and maybe a online play that would be really fun!

It's good at first

Compared to other mobile strategy games this one is great. However a couple of missions in You see some very glaring issues. Most notably there is zero replay ability. You play the Union then Confederate campaign and your about done. Not much to play with. In the PC version you get a lot of replay ability, for example losing a battle means you can choose a scenario where you might make a holdout point. This however is very linear, absolutely no replay ability. Even if your able to get a unit down too a fifth of its original strength it's back with full strength. I suppose this can be chalked up due to limiting software on Apple. Then you have the difficulty levels, the ai is all the same, the Confederates are extremely aggressive, always charging. Union usually tries to shoot you to death. It's the complete opposite of the PC game where you can choose how the ai fights, i.e. Agressive, chaotic, cautious, etc. If you have played a level you can know exactly what the ai will do, they basically have pre set orders, at least towards the beginning of the battle. I wish I could get my money back. Hope there are more updates but game seems pretty dead. If you have a pc buy the PC version...

IT could use some work

This game is amazing, but I think they could add something more l. It lacks the addictive side of most game, it's like yea I finished the first level and you forget about it until the next month. This happened to me. Also it needs some different battles that where important to the war, like the battle of Appomattox. I love the civil war so when I looked up a game the other month I was like wow this looks cool so I got. It is not bad for 3.99 it could use some ideas the community has and put them in the game. Some parts of the battle is fun and your like sweet I'm winning then it just turns the wrong way. I think they should help you out a little bit more on the first battle instead of the 1 min tutorial and it says good luck. The first game should teach you strategy and other stupid that would make you win and be better at the game. Over all I like this game and I'm a civil war geek and I would buy it again. I think anyone can be good at it civil war geek or not it is an amazing game.
