  • Historical authenticity: War of Rights aims to recreate the events of the Maryland campaign of 1862 during the American Civil War as best as possible.
  • Vast battlefields: Each battlefield has been carefully researched and recreated in CRYENGINE® close to a 1:1 scale. After all this work, roads, houses, fields and forests of the era will be placed as close as possible to where they existed back in the day.
  • Key locations: Historical key areas such as the Dunker Church or Burnside Bridge will play a vital part as objectives in both the smaller Skirmishes and in the huge historical battles for players to fight over.
  • Authentic reload: Reloading a percussion black powder rifle is a time consuming task that will present the player with the choice of continuing the reload or stop and try to win the day with the trusty bayonet when faced with a charging enemy. And as a last minute resort, you might be lucky enough to have a smaller gun on you with a single bullet to save your life.
  • Realistic ballistics: Rifle flip-up sights will be needed for making shots over greater distances, and players will require mastering the slower bullet speeds of the era.
  • Fouling: Firing a black powder weapon is a messy affair, and thus your weapon will start fouling as you continue to shoot. The more fouled the weapon becomes, the higher the chance of misfires or delayed fires, which in the battlefield means you won’t live to tell your tale.
  • Team play is king: War of Rights features regiments with distinct classes such as Private, Sergeant, Colonel and Flag Bearer as well as a regiment-specific tailored respawn system. Players will quickly learn the advantages of sticking together. And later on we’ll introduce two additional branches: Artillery and Cavalry to spice things up.
  • Chain of command system: The very first version of the chain of command system will be the relation between the officer and his regiment. Each regiment commander is able to issue direct orders such as: charge, fix bayonets, hold your ground and move to, with special buffs to the people obeying (think of it as a morale boost). Later on, we’ll be adding Generals to the field as well. These tactical masterminds will be able to coordinate their units to their fullest potential.

Hey hey, are you liken a civil war that end within 5 years to a long war that last centuries? A war determine the fate of, at best, less than 10 racial people in one continuous landmass with a war that involve racial and tribal people from three continents numbering to tens and hundred? An unavoidable war that if not happen on US to determine the slavery system existence would be fought on another country, another continent with a war that forging the roots of democracy and feudal monarchy? A war that outside of US very few people care with a war that attract attention from a lot more?

A war game is fun due to the options in strategery involved, dick for brains. You don't play the fucking game to root for someone.

Besides, if you don't like western stuff, then why come to English speaking site in the first place? I don't go post on vietnamese sites about how shitty their games and culture are because not enough whitey. Holy fucking shit go fuck yourself.

Seriously, I think you might literally be fucking retarded.

Here's a classic.

There was another I liked more a while back but the name escapes me.

Also, civil war is not much to do with slavery, that is some retarded propaganda of recent times.

So this is like a multiplayer-only Mount & Blade, set during the American Civil War? I already have Mount & Blade, regarding the first, and the second is dull by itself. Could be that I missed something, but this doesn't look like a wargame.

I'm not 100% sure on the gameplay. I just posted it because it looks good and it's civil war. If it really is just M&B with guns, then that kind of sucks.

Took me a second to realize that this isn't a strategy game but a M&B Napoleonic Wars style genre with the same emphasis on group tactics on multi in several scenarios.

Def. better than a MoW: Kwanzakrieg that I first thought it to be.

Age of Riffles was fun too and had war from war of US aggression against Mexico to Japanase-Russian war. They could it make from XVIII century though that would be orgasmic but has to be named Age of Muskets and Riffles than.

That's what it looks like. There's a short bit where they mention using Napoleonic-era tactics, but they seem to mean it as the player fighting in that style, rather than it being a tactical game. The video and screenshots also only show the first-person shooter aspects and the "chain of command" system that they describe seems to only be about on the level of what Mount & Blade allows.
A pity, since a properly done Napoleon: Total War would have made for a cool game.

The right to own slaves and to lose a civil war.

The war was started over taxes which Lincoln stated in his first inaugural address. He also supported the Corwin Amendment which would have made slavery untouchable by the federal government. The southern states were quite forgiving of Lincoln's invasion attempts of South Carolina until April of 1861. Three US Navy vessels entered the harbor with the intent of resupplying Fort Sumter and if they couldn't then they were ordered to seize the harbor itself with the two regiments of troops they carried.

Are you saying that slavery was not an important cause of discord of the day, which lead to a political climate towards seccession? Because I'm pretty sure the guys on board with the confederacy would kindly disagree.

I'm actually kind of interested to see how it turns about but here's the thing; a muzzle-loading rifle with mini-balls has a lot more firepower than a smoothbore musket because of the greater range, but has about the same rate of fire (~3 shots a minute). I have a really hard time imagining anyone wanting to stand there and actively reload their weapon for 20 seconds every time they want to take a shot. Now maybe if all the players were officers or cavalrymen with braces of single action revolvers or repeating rifles and the infantrymen were all bots....

It wasn't a big reason for 12 out of the 13 Confederate States. The biggest reason was the south was being bled dry by taxes through tariffs. It didn't become about slavery until 1864 when Lincoln was facing re-election and had to justify the hundreds of thousands of dead on both sides; military and civilian.

Not a big reason? What, there's only room for sanitized causes for this giant civil war? Man, just look at the declarations of secession.

Mississipi:

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin. That we do not overstate the dangers to our institution, a reference to a few facts will sufficiently prove.

South Carolina:

The General Government, as the common agent, passed laws to carry into effect these stipulations of the States. For many years these laws were executed. But an increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the institution of slavery, has led to a disregard of their obligations, and the laws of the General Government have ceased to effect the objects of the Constitution. The States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa, have enacted laws which either nullify the Acts of Congress or render useless any attempt to execute them. In many of these States the fugitive is discharged from service or labor claimed, and in none of them has the State Government complied with the stipulation made in the Constitution. The State of New Jersey, at an early day, passed a law in conformity with her constitutional obligation; but the current of anti-slavery feeling has led her more recently to enact laws which render inoperative the remedies provided by her own law and by the laws of Congress. In the State of New York even the right of transit for a slave has been denied by her tribunals; and the States of Ohio and Iowa have refused to surrender to justice fugitives charged with murder, and with inciting servile insurrection in the State of Virginia. Thus the constituted compact has been deliberately broken and disregarded by the non-slaveholding States, and the consequence follows that South Carolina is released from her obligation.

Texas

We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable.

That in this free government *all white men are and of right ought to be entitled to equal civil and political rights* [emphasis in the original]; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations; while the destruction of the existing relations between the two races, as advocated by our sectional enemies, would bring inevitable calamities upon both and desolation upon the fifteen slave-holding states.

By the secession of six of the slave-holding States, and the certainty that others will speedily do likewise, Texas has no alternative but to remain in an isolated connection with the North, or unite her destinies with the South.

Georgia:

*A WHOLE HISTORY OF ANTI-SLAVERY*

Virginia:

not only to the injury of the people of Virginia, but to the oppression of the Southern Slaveholding States
Even if the north didn't set out to abolish slavery in the South, the southerners obviously felt that the forming of a federal government and the lack of new slave holding states was damaging enough to their society that they had to secceed.
