@Giustheangyone Actually once you play this game, you realize how dumbed down Total War is for the masses

@SuddenPizza

If a game requires a mod to rock then the game sucks. it's the mod that's good. Clearly the company could be doing much better when people are outdoing them weeks after it's released.

It's because so much emphasis is put on graphics these days that elements of gameplay are found very lacking and unrealistic. ETW is a good RTS for kids or general war gamers but for history RTS fanatics ETW IS FUCKING TERRIBLE.

@chapdog82 Units during WW1 would be replenished after taking big losses in a battle. The heavy turnover in replacements could often create a "fresh unit" that could repeat the process again. Maybe?

@chapdog82 You probably already know all of this.

[zipsrule]

@chapdog82 You just described battles from the entire war not just the early ones. I think part of what happened in the Civil War, maybe all wars, is that fresh units have the "bravery" to make dangerous assults. If a fresh unit makes such an assult during any phase of a war it has the "advantage" of not "knowing any better." Grant pulled many units away from the defenses of Washington City into combat for the later battles os 1864; as a result these units were fresh.

@Colin69972 why did they lose then

[chapdog82]

@refuckulate420 As a result alot the best and bravest died early on in the war asasulting places like Henry House Hill, The unfinished RR (2nd BR), Fox and Turner's Gaps,The Sunken Lane, Marye's Heights (twice!), Vicksburg Trenches, Port Hudson, Fort Wagner, Missionary Ridge, The Muleshoe Salient, Ringold Gap,Cold Harbor, Petersburg Trenches and many more. The Union infantry men went places most humans would dare not go.. into the teeth of some of the best fighters in the world.

@refuckulate420

That's a tuff call. The union infantryman was called on to assault heav ily fortified postions much more than the rebel. Not that the rebel was not excellent on the assault.. but yanks spent more time attacking stone walls, redoubts , Forts and Hills and less time behind the damn things shooting at an exposed enemy.

@Kravis63

[Colin69972]

[refuckulate420]

@Colin69972

Burnside was a particularly bad leader but you had Sherman, Grant, Thomas, Hancock, Buford, Sheridan...and I could name more. So yea Burnside is just one really bad case...that man was an idiot.

[Colin69972]

@refuckulate420 ya that is true but Union Generals liek Burnside where kind of dumbies when it came to battles
