The US Civil War was a war of politics and tactics and claimed more US lives than any war prior or after. Confederate soldiers were outmanned but still managed to push as far north as Gettysburg... but what if they placed their focus elsewhere? What if they managed to maintain their cotton based economy? Could the South have won?
Forge of Freedom places complete control of either the Confederate States of America or the United States of America in the war that proved to the world that you can not mix old tactics with new weapons. Two well equipped and well trained armies face off in a war over slavery, unity, and state rights- and you are the one in command.
The turn-based structure of Forge of Freedom moves the game at whatever pace the player
decides. Forge of Freedom gives complete control over military and
developmental policy making. The new
engine and methods used for diplomatic, economic and social strategies make
running a country fast and easy. While
your armies march across a regional movement map, battles will allow you to
play at a smaller scale as we saw in Crown
of Glory. In the detailed
battlefield map each side is trying to capture and achieve objectives, making
forts and defensive outposts more critical and important.
