Strategic Command: American Civil War Out Now

Post by NotTooBad »

For the first time in the series’ history, Strategic Command will be taking you to the 19th century battlefields of the American Civil War.
In this turn-based strategy game, you will control the armies, research, production and diplomatic policy of either the Union or the Confederacy during a time of great innovation and dramatic battles.

Thousands of volunteers are enlisting, and you will need to organize them into Brigades, Divisions and eventually Corps.

Research will have to be undertaken to improve their weaponry and fighting skills, and you will be able to choose from a variety of famous Generals to lead them, including Lee, Jackson, Grant, McClellan, Beauregard and Sherman.

FEATURES
- 6 campaigns covering the Civil War from first shot to last:
1861 Blue and Gray
• 1861 Manassas to Appomattox
• 1862 Scott’s Great Snake
• 1862 Trent War (Alternate History: What if the UK recognized the Confederacy?)
• 1863 Lee Rides North
• 1864 Make Georgia Howl


New unit types, including Balloons, Rangers, Monitors, River Gunboats and many more!
- New technologies, including Naval Engines, Ironclads, Skirmishers and the Field Telegraph.
- Riverine warfare is now possible, with waterways that can be navigated by 3 types of river vessel.
- Coastal and inland fortress defenses play a much greater role in Civil War strategy, guarding many key ports and waterways. Built before the war, their locations are known to both sides.
- Deactivating Partisan scripts, historical event popups and the European intervention mechanic now requires only a single event to be disabled.
- Official mods have been included with the game, allowing players to choose between two brand new map styles and the "classic" style used in our previous games.
- PBEM++ and Hotseat Multiplayer

Tried 5 times to purchase the subject software with 3 different credit cards and during the processing stage I get error “shopping cart”.

I have purchased numerous games from your company and have never received this message before. I would like to purchase this product. I believe others may be experiencing this issue as well.
Please advise how to proceed.

Very sorry to hear this Rastro, I would strongly recommend contacting Matrix Games support as hopefully they'll be able to identify the issue and help resolve it for you:

First of all congratulations for the release of the new game. Was really looking foward to it.

Noticed on youtube that Mr West alreaxcy stated a MP game.

Buying went without a hitch directly from slitherines webpage.

Small annoyance hitting the update button results in an error message, something along the line not able to determine the installed version.

Looking really foward for a long an succesful gaming experience ;)

I would recommend that players wait to purchase this product until something is done with the scale of the map. The map is so much larger than other games in the SC series that even with zoom that I found the game unplayable.

I started on full HD mode and that didn't really help. In contrast to other games in the SC series, the map is simply too large to be a playable game for me. It reminded me of something similar to Grigsby's War in the East game in terms of the scale of the game. That's not what I'm looking for in a SC game. Others feel differently and that's fine.

You may find it much more straightforward to buy on Steam or GoG when it releases there in the next week or two.

I do love a lot of Matrix games stuff but their storefront is an abomination from hell at times :roll:

Yeah it feels a bit the SC2 campaign in Rusia x 4... I am still missing an additonal Zoom lvl to be able to play at native resoultion otherwise the symbols are tiny and I thought you had the same problems. Lets see perhaps smaller Scenarios are comming out and you wil enjoy the game

I have also had this problem in the past.

A work around is to use the PayPal option. If I recall correctly, you can pay with a credit card using PayPal, even if you don't have a PayPal account. PayPal just processes the payment.
