Jsut stumbled upon this litte hidden strategy gem. Still in the making but looks good so far.

The extremely atmospheric soundscape easily makes up for the mediocre graphics (although the map as such is quite gorgeous).

Note the clever AI. The team is built around the guy who is responsible for the "Darth Vader's" mods for various Total War games.

I need to show my brother Robert this. He has a huge obsession with Gettysburg.

I would show my step dad this, but it's on steam. Too bad no one makes physical copies of games. Lost sales man, lost sales. Not everyone can download shit.

I dont buy physical games anymore. If it aint digital, i dont buy it.

Not to mention, it saves money from having to actually box and make CDs
