Ultimate General: American Revolution

Ultimate General: American Revolution puts you in command of the American Colonists as they fight for territorial control over North America. On a detailed 3D map, you build an army and navy, develop military infrastructure and direct forces from regimental level. You can zoom in to fight battles with full tactical control, commanding hundreds of units in real time.

Campaign and battles

You move regiments and naval squadrons across the global map, and position your General to gain tactical control. With the General present, you can directly control troops or ships, maneuver, cut supply routes, use terrain and flank with cavalry. Zooming in lets you take closer control of battles on the map.

In detailed battles, regiments divide into smaller battalions. Their positions reflect where they were on the campaign map: some engage immediately, others can be repositioned within deployment zones, and forces farther away may arrive later as reinforcements. Reconnaissance and communication affect your decisions: reports can be delayed or intercepted, so orders may not reach troops in time and communication with distant territories may be impossible.

Build your forces

You form infantry regiments, cavalry squadrons and fleets, assign officers and equip units with weapons. You also decide whether to use recruits to create new units or replenish casualties, choices that can affect the course of the war.

Supply and infrastructure

Develop regions to provide food, weapons and ammunition, and build military structures to train special recruits or shelter your army through the winter. Establish infrastructure and plan supply routes to reach armies in the field. You must also organize production of rifles, cannons and ships, along with the powder and bullets they require, prioritizing the production chain to meet your forces’ needs.

Army headquarters

Create and organize army departments, manage their funds and appoint officers. These choices affect combat efficiency, intelligence and supply management. As department officers gain experience, they become more effective in their roles and can research weapons and tactics, as well as develop methods to improve the army.
