You can adjust the difficulty level as you progress in the game. The fun thing is that you can commbine aircraft, armor, artillery and infantry into easily coordinated attacks. For one thing,they deploy their armies with maximum efficiency. The AI is challenging and not predictable as another review may suggest. The special powers are for offense, disrupting your enemy or to increase morale. Or you can go on the offensive and attack an adjacent opponent with scores of weapons to choose from. You can stay neutral, gain political popularity and increase your warchest. The 3-D mapboard is very easy to use with only your mouse. It is not a "clickfest" like C&C, but you get to blow up a lot of things! It does not pretend to be anything other than a very good RTS/Turn Based Combo, where you can plan and strategize. you can be the "President of one of 7 geographical factions, each with thier own charactereistics and special powers. Shattered Union is a game that you can run with after a very good and brief tutorial. Shatterd Union- The Second Civil War -Fun & Playable Enjoyable if you don't mind that, but otherwise uninteresting. It just winds up feeling VERY shallow and pretty bland. Overall, it might be good for a play-through or two, but with e ssentially NO in-game storyline or cut scenes and having no real way to do politics other than NOT destroying landmarks. But the unit figures and bland and unrealistic, as can be easily seen from any screenshot of the game. As mentioned in the title, the concept is one that has always fascinated me- namely, what it would take for the United Stated to go into another civil war. meaning that unless you just "imagine" that your one remaining tank unit, is actually a whole unit of tanks the game can get pretty boring and unrealistic. Units are a single vehicle air unit, or squad of soldiers. In the combat mode either attacking or defending it gets a little better. The game has essentially 2 main components to gameplay, the main screen where you decide to attack, defend, or buy units, that's essentially half the gameplay right there.

Hopefully somebody will get wise and put out a patch to improve the AI.

If you get this, get the Xbox-type version - they have a cheat code to go straight to the end. Never mind that your total power is 5 times everyone else put together. The computer players have no idea of when to quit, so after the initial battles, the game is one long mop-up, at 1 territory per turn. Unfortunately, you have to suffer through a lot of garbage to get to it. The end scenario with the Russians is actually pretty good. Shooting, moving, watching things blow up, brings back memories of Panzer General. I have to feel sorry for the enemy soldiers, it must be disheartening to see all the bodies from the last 6 attempts.ĭespite this, the game is actually fairly fun, once you get used to all the stupidity, like casting spells (special powers) on an Abrams.
The computer keeps attacking the same area, over and over, without any consideration of whether it can actually win the battle. Strategically, it is absolutely terrible. Tactically, it just tends to go after the lowest defense unit within range, which is so-so.
The game's unquestionable worst point is the totally lame AI. Roads would not show at any level of resolution, forcing me to move the mouse over each hex to see where a road might be. The quality is generally good, but I had various bugs from video card problems. The game does high res 3D graphics, which is both good and bad. The game is played on an extremely detailed map of the US, the details of even my home town are pretty close. This game is the modern remake of "Panzer General".
