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. Your decisions will determine whether the United States leaves this conflict as one nation or two. What are your orders, Mr President?A BRAND NEW BATTLEFIELD Strategic Command: American Civil War comes with a massive 66,000 hex map, covering all of North America from Canada and New Mexico to the Caribbean at a 15km/9mi scale. This is the largest hex-based map ever offered by the Strategic Command series!COMMAND YOUR ARMIES With few professional soldiers ready to fight at the beginning of 1861, building an army will be just as important as ordering your men into battle. Thousands of volunteers are enlisting, and you will need to organise them into Brigades, Divisions and eventually Corps. Research will have to be undertaken to improve their weaponry and fighting skills. Once their training is complete, you will be able to choose from a variety of famous Generals to lead them, including Lee, Jackson, Grant, McClellan, Beauregard and Sherman. With the fate of entire armies hinging on single battles, the appointment of talented Generals may well be the difference between victory and defeat.RIVER WARFARE The great rivers of North America, including the Mississippi, Ohio and Cumberland, can now be navigated by all-new river warships, with inland ports offering the opportunity for rapid movement, and their waters bringing the danger of amphibious attack.THE AGE OF THE IRONCLADThe war on the high seas has also been expanded, with ships now divided into rivercraft, coastal and sea-going vessels, and wooden and ironclad construction. With the most diverse roster of warships ever offered by a Strategic Command game, your admirals will have more opportunities than ever before to achieve victory at sea.RECONNAISSANCE REWORKEDThe fog of war has never been more important in shaping your success on the battlefield, as the lack of radio communications means that cavalry will be essential to locating enemy armies and avoiding ambush. Infantry scout detachments, partisan rangers and armoured trains can also be trained to expand the recon capabilities of your armies, while Generals willing to use experimental technology will have the opportunity to use observation balloons, taking the war to the skies.EUROPEAN INTERVENTIONDiplomatic action, battlefield success and decision events such as the sale of the Confederate Cotton Stockpile or the Emancipation Proclamation will determine whether the European Great Powers intervene in the Civil War. The UK, France and Spain can all be persuaded to support the Confederate cause, and their entry could greatly alter the war’s outcome.WAR IN MEXICOAs the Civil War divides the United States, the French Emperor Napoleon III is engaged in another battle for control of Mexico. The front lines in America’s southern neighbour will be constantly changing, and if France should enter the war, players will be able to take up the flag of the Republic or the Empire as the Civil War grows into a conflict to determine the fate of all of North America!...AND MUCH MORE!Using an enhanced version of the engine used by our WWI and WWII games, American Civil War also incorporates all of the much-loved features from previous titles in the series, ensuring that a great gaming experience awaits series veterans and new recruits alike!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. 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. The game also comes with an Editor that will enable you to make your own campaigns or mods. Coastal and inland fortress defences 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.
"It is not enough to serve the Emperor, or even to love Him. You must give to Him all that you had, all you have, and all you shall ever have. You must give yourself over utterly and entirely to His divine will and become a vessel of that will. Only then is your sacrifice fitting." — From the Rule of the Sororitas A new faction joins the war for Gladius Prime: the Adepta Sororitas, with eighteen new units and unique gameplay mechanics. The Adepta Sororitas, also known as the Sisters of Battle, are the militant arm of the Adeptus Ministorum. Pure of heart and fanatical of devotion, they place the worship of the Emperor above all other concerns. They maintain holy places anywhere where His subjects might be served, tending to the needs of the poor and the sick as well as spreading the word of His glory to all that might listen. But not all are worthy, and for those that aren’t - only merciful death can be granted.Gameplay MechanicsShield of Faith: Units have an Invulnerable Damage Reduction against all damage and a Witchfire Damage Reduction.

На прекрасном острове Тропико всегда хорошая погода. Так настаивает Эль Президенте. Поэтому, когда сгустились облака и начался дождь, стало ясно, что близится нечто. По слухам, группа жителей острова объединилась в тайный культ и прокляла Тропико. Новый сверхъестественный лидер жаждет захватить власть, и вам, Президенту, чтобы снять проклятие, понадобится некое божественное вмешательство. То есть, Инквизиция. Чтобы разгромить приверженцев культа и прекратить их сверхъестественные преступления, пригласите на Тропико специальные силы Инквизиции и поддерживайте с ними хорошие отношения, построив им новую штаб-квартиру. Но не предоставляйте им слишком много власти. Не забывайте напоминать им, что только вы, Эль Президенте, истинный правитель Тропико. Только под вашим чутким руководством Тропико снова станет райским островом, которым был прежде.
