Customer Reviews of American Conquest: Fight Back
An Excellent Game American Conquest is a gem of a game, in my view. I never expected that it would be so good when I got the demo on the magazine CD. I played it, and it was what I had been looking for all this time! It was an RTS game which makes you think about things. Your troops don't magically appear from buildings, you have to put peasants in them to train them. The variety of micromanagement and constructions tasks are really nice. I was a AOK convert before this, but now, I simply love the way that this handles things. <

>It doesn't have the best graphics, true, it has some annoying quirks, true, but it is simply one of the most innovative RTS games out there. <

>And it is many times better than Cossacks II which was simply awful...but that is another story. <

Intrigueing but incredibly frustrating
Loving history and enjoying my weekends playing wargames and strategy based games, I saw this game used at my local computer gaming store and bought it. For $9.99 I thought..."How could I go wrong?" Well there was a reason why the previous owner sold this game back.
<
>
<
>The positive points:
<
>- Interesting concept and time period
<
>- Great renderings, colors, textures and graphics
<
>- Fairly good sound effects
<
>- Great menu artwork
<
>- Great fun in building towns and armies
<
>- For the non-historian, this game opens up a page out of the history books (and those history haters might learn something).
<
>
<
>The bad:
<
>- VERY slow game (even on my high-end computer)
<
>- Indian teepees and other indigenous populous dwellings are laughable
<
>- Micro-management is king. (there should be a way to not micro-manage you people/armies/town and EVERY ASPECT of the game)
<
>- Controlling troops are incredibly difficult (something that is not realistic)
<
>- Winning of the "Battle" mode only involves capturing your opponents fort (and the computer cheats).
<
>- As my friends and brother calls "computer cheating" (computer doesn't play by the same rules)
<
>- Seemingly limitless number of troops (for the computer) (CHEATER!)
<
>- Winning is practically impossible (overly difficult even on "easy" mode)
<
>- Bad "Fog-of-War" (even after exploring unknown territory, it stays unknown, and you have to memorize the map and it's details after you've passed through it.)
<
>- Morale???? What Morale? Rarely battles of this time period fought very long (one side would become demoralized or scared and run/"route") This never happens in this game
<
>- 10-12 bears attacking in a coordinated group?? Is this supposed to be a joke?
<
>- Aligators taking out your troops when nearing the shores of a river? Who thought that up?????!!
<
>- No weather in this game (like rain, snow, wind, etc)
<
>- No disease or sicknesses to injure or kill Europeans or natives (which was a MAJOR factor of this time period)
<
>- No nighttime (it's daytime all the time in this game.... "is that realistic?")
<
>
<
>
<
>As you can see, the negatives FAR outweigh the positives. Usually I try and look for the good in a game and try and enjoy it (especially since I spent my hard earned money on it, even if it is only $10)
<
>
<
>Having no manual, no instructions or any kind of paperwork.... made my gaming experience more difficult, but who really holds on to that stuff after a couple of months of playing the particular game?
<
>
<
>In short, this software has serious problems. Whomever created the game, had no solid historical basis or backing. Game play is seriously lacking.
<
>
<
>Games that are TOO challenging, kills the average PC gamers will to continue.
<
>
<
>Maybe they the producers of this game don't care for they have their money now.
<
>
<
>I am just thanking my lucky stars (no pun intended), that i didn't pay full price for this incredibly frustrating piece of software.
awsome just like american conquest
This is the sequel to american conquest, and it is just as good. I heard that this game was developed, by a German Company, well let me say, I take my hat off to you. Graphically wise, this game is amazing. Play a random map with water, and build you a few ships,send them to the enemy, and watch them blast away. it is an awsome sight.I am picky about the games I buy, and I'm telling you, if you pass this one up, you have got to have a problem. Read my review, on american conquest Please! Note, This one and the original, could very well be two of the best developed games on the market to date, especially from a realistic point of view. Units behave more realistic, than they do on other rts games.
