I kinda love this developer's story. Started out as a Empire: Total War modder, that massively improved the game while Creative Assembly was crying that people weren't praising them hard enough for adding the naval system.
Creative Assembly has continued it's steady decline over the years, but this modder didn't just build out his own game, but is successfully building out his own fuckng franchise (Ultimate Generals: Gettysburg, Ultimate Generals: Civil War, Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts, etc)
I can also state that UG: Gettysburg is one of the few Civil War games that I saw take very clear inspiration from "Sid Meier's Gettysburg!" and Civil War Generals 2.
I might try to jump in on the Early Access, tbh. Seems like it might be fun.
they behave like unprofessional shit heads to anyone who criticizes them.
That's what I noticed when CA started complaining about the grief they were getting with Empire back in the day. I watched a movie that came with the game, and I shit you not, one of the developers literally said (paraphrasing):
'People need to stop complaining about this game. This isn't just one game. It's three games. It's a grand strategy game, a battlefield game, and a naval game all in one! Then you have the gall to complain that it's $60 for three games, you should be paying $180! Grow up!'
Real humans actually released that in a behind-the-scenes kind of developer video as a feature.
Imagine trying to release Empire, in it's original broken state, nearly 15 years ago, for $180.
Now that's entitlement.
As a result I've completely boycotted them and won't touch anything they put out, it's all getting woke as fuck now anyway and they're probably going to start ruining Warhammer next.
Yeah, I've been trying to find other battle simulators. Like "Fantasy General" and "Age of Wonders'
