As the title states, deals with the opening year of the American Civil War. Gameplay is as most HexWars games. Decent array of scenarios. If you are comfortable with HexWars style, recommended.
Po dłuższej przerwie rozegrałem 2 bitwy. Rzuca się w oczy ogromna ilość pudeł moich oddziałów. 4/5 nie jest rzadkością. TO PSUJE GRĘ I CZĘSTO SIĘ POWTARZA. W porównaniu z innymi rocznikami C W 1861 WYPADA PRZECIĘTNIE. Po aktualizacji z dnia 1 listopada 2024 roku nie można uruchomić gry.
虽然没有写 但是是有成就的 而且profile统计是算数的 本体的话 我个人不喜欢这种老旧的界面 凑活给个好评
Very crusty 1v1 strategy game with no multiplayer. It’s shovelware. It feels like something that came out in 2007 rather than 2017. If it’s hexagonal, does that mean it’s based off of the board game from the 1980s? I genuinely have no idea. I can’t think of much to say about it. It’s mechanically functional; if you look at the screenshots, what you see is what you get. I can think of ways this could have been broken or torturous, but something’s wrong when I have no motivation to finish twelve ten-minute scenarios. This isn’t a war game, this is one-fifth of a war game. Who’d shell out $50 to have all five years? Even getting them half-off would be a swindle. I bought these and nine other tactical computer board games in a bundle that cost a single dollar, and I can see why the developer needed to go to such desperate lengths to juice the install base. I think the element in this game most indicative of its quality is the infobox used to preview combat actions. The Times New Roman font looks garish sized up, and the infobox repeatedly cuts out of the screen, requiring you to drag the screen to see the whole readout. I think I’m making this game sound a lot worse than it is, but that’s the consequence of throwing something together that’s so lacking in distinction, variety, and impact.

Es war mal sehr gut seit dem Update hört man keinen Sound mehr. Alle teile sind gerade ohne Sound.
Once again, like this game series twin brother "tank battles: insert title here" all these "civil war: insert title here" games are all the same, right down to the tutorial. There is very very little differences in these games as far as the look, sound, and play. The only differences is the setting/theme based on the subtitle. All of these civil war and tank battles could of been packed into one game especially since each game is only 100 to 400 mb big and all play the same. But no, greed is the only explanation for releasing this game as 10 different titles. Come on. All that being said it is a fun game to play but each civil war game and tank battle game are all the same game, literally. Just pick one and there you go. So again, like my tank battle reviews, im just going to do what the game developers did and copy and paste my review for each game.

Its a fun, easy to learn and quick to master strategy game about the first year of the Civil War. If you don't want something terribly complex this is good. There is an issue with ctd in game that comes up far too much. My way of dealing with it has been to not press anything when the music stops as the game is freezing until it starts playing again. For a game this old to not have had this fixed by now is a shame but bought on sale for less than 2 dollars, its a minor hassle.
So far seems like a fun easy to play game. My only major problem so far is the union army wearing grey (hello game designers grey, rebs are wearing brown but that is O.K. , Butternut). I am an Ex Union Re-enactor so I am biased on small details like this BLUE Vs. Grey/Butternut. But other than that this seams like a fun game, do not expect Civil War General level game play or complexity. If I run into major problems I will add onto this review, Yes.
