I absolutely loved the first game Ultimate General Gettysburg. The level of granular detail for just that one battle was so refreshing and presented so many interesting challenges. So my problems with Civil War are that while the battles were fun they never approached the impressive level of detail in the original and the strategic campaign was kinda bland. The battles were still tons of fun, I just think what was added didn’t really improve over the original mechanically.

Also, Darthmod is great. I’m working on a series of the mod spotlight articles and will eventually cover Darth mod in all the Total War games

If you are a fan of Napoleon: Total War you have to check it out with the Darth mod. So much better. He replaces all the sounds, adds to the number of troops and a bunch more. I can’t play it stock anymore. The much higher amounts of men fighting really makes it feel like a battle.
