Rating:  - An Ambitious Undertaking Is a Mixed Bag
Since Sid Meiers has not released any Civil War games lately, I had high hopes of a very enjoyable real time Civil War real time strategy game when I purchased AC:DN.
To be honest, the game is a mixed bag and here are my comments:
Good:
1. Different wars covered - War of 1812, Mexican-American War, Civil War.

4. Great if you like controlling thousands of ... Read More
Rating: - First Revue
Good game. Runs a little rough. Example- Press any key to start. Have to repeatedly press several keys. Look up, same thing. Back to me, same thing.
Rating:  - Can't get started
I've played similar games and can see that this one has some merit, but the manual is pathetic and fails to describe any of the initial steps necessary to start a game. My guess is that you have to blunder through numerous starts before you stumble on successful moves, something I am too old to enjoy. This one goes on the shelf until I find some literature explaining what should have been included in the manual.
Rating: - Another boring warcraft-alike
If you love RTS' click-fest games then you'll like this too. If you are looking for historically accurate games that contain real strategy and tactics AVOID AVOID AVOID this game.
Just like warcraft, make buildings, gather resources, build guys and throw them at the enemy with very little strategy.
Worse yet, no tutorial and no player aide of building-unit progressions means you play many games simply to learn with no possibility of winning.
Rating:  - Marginal game, minimal support
I was looking for a Civil War strategic game, like the old "Ft Sumter to Appomatox," and settled for this. I'm sorry. The game is a lovely video cam on the tedium of warfare. Hours of trying to get an army lined up and headed south, only to have morale turn everything into a treeful of parrots.
What's worse, the manual is a poor translation of a minimal effort to document the game, and when you ask questions on the company's forums, the response is usually "We already answered that. Read ... Read More
