Off they go! If you want them to take the road, then you click on road after all of that, and they will head towards the nearest road!<br /><br />Lemme know how it goes, I am very curious!<br /><br />Also, you can always drop by the forums at Madminute Games for help too.Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01992613594254823700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-15824796478681374622009-12-15T14:34:45.964-08:002009-12-15T14:34:45.964-08:00I bought this game on the Lords recommendation.

When the second game came out it was even better, better graphics, better ai ect.<br /><br />As good as the first one is, the second is sevral times better.<br /><br />The game is devided into campaign, that takes you around the battle of second manassas, from small skrimishes realy on to full battle later, you see the battle from all points, from brigade commanders to army commander.<br />It's like beeing there.<br /><br />The second part is a free open battle, you can download the OOB from any battle of the war, so you can be both grant or sherman, lee and longstreet and everybody els.<br /><br />You also have mods as Ash have said, both AWI, Napoleincs and many diffrent ACW modsGunfreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079955895580491444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-22230483526297685382009-12-08T09:27:19.597-08:002009-12-08T09:27:19.597-08:00Yep, as Gun says, this is purely vs AI. Personall...Yep, as Gun says, this is purely vs AI. Personally I really enjoy that; there is none of the tension of the negative kind that I often feel competing against another player... while I enjoy MP, I find SP to be a much more relaxed and enjoyable experience!<br /><br />Great game though, I cannot possibly recommend it enough. The first time your long columns are marching along, canteens clanking, cicadas whirring, drums playing, your cavalry scouting far out of sight, looking for the enemy... ahh such satisfaction! And that initial encounter, when you first round a wood or a mountain and find the head of an enemy column marching down the road, and you start to recognize commanders like Lee and Longstreet and realize that this isn't just an enemy division, but the enemy ARMY is coming up that road... man. And, of course, when you have deployed and engaged the enemy, throwing him back, only to realize that the majority of the enemy actually took a flank march and is just now appearing in the rear of your army, the rear you didn't cover with cavalry because you figured the computer would never figure it out... yikes:)<br /><br />Brilliant game.Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01992613594254823700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-69819997128408571172009-12-08T06:07:27.650-08:002009-12-08T06:07:27.650-08:00Yes, single player only, but the new game, scurage...Yes, single player only, but the new game, scurage of war will have multiplayer,Gunfreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079955895580491444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-20489665406882742202009-12-08T04:14:06.892-08:002009-12-08T04:14:06.892-08:00I agree that it is a great game and very atmospher...I agree that it is a great game and very atmospheric as well.

NTW is great because it is MP, but the Take Command series most accurately replicates combat... from the time spent before hand marching your vast columns up the roads to the ideas of flanking and pushing... it is a GREAT game:)Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01992613594254823700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-22382944396608320272009-12-07T14:52:07.030-08:002009-12-07T14:52:07.030-08:00Your enthusiasm reminds me of my own in 2000 after...Your enthusiasm reminds me of my own in 2000 after I played my first ever Total War game: Shogun: Total War.
