Why are Civil war games so widely ignored by game makers?

[comr4de]

WW2 was the first exciting war

ftfy


AFAIK there's a campaign for civ4 which lets you play the civil war iirc


also there WAS a were several civil war RTS iirc, but again political correctness killed it. Something about fighting for the oppression of black men sort of killed their sales

Unless it was done as an RTS, then that'd be fun.

rise of nations

age of empires 3

civilization series

There is a North and South mod for Warband which is the actual Civil War mod for Mount and Blade. Napoleonic Wars is just the Napoleonic Wars.

[sir dooble]

Do you honestly think that a game where your rifle takes 30 seconds to load would be fun?

Mount & Blade: Napoleonic Wars does manage to do a decent job at it.
But, I do agree that it's not as fast-paced as games with automatic or semi-automatic weapons. But there is also an appeal to that sort of warfare for numerous people. Myself and OP included.

I'm talking real time, also AoEIII was more colonial-era based.

[Bisjac]

is that all you think the civil war seriously was?

thats all civil war combat was.
i dont think people understand how boring it would be to take a single shot every 40 seconds.

the most exciting guy on the battlefield played the drum

[brickybob]

Wars like the American Civil War and World War 1 would be good for Arma 2 because you can command infantry. If you want a line battle you have this mod: http://store.steampowered.com/app/90026/

History channel made an American civil war game, kinda like call of duty for playstation 2. Dunno If that helps...

[Mr. Jelly]

I want a Korean War game


I don't care if it's basically WW2+Ak-47's I want it

[Pixel]

I want a game where you play as a Cameroonian princess who can fly and shoot arrows out of her eyes.

a desert storm game would be fun.

like 8 hours of waiting at the border looking through binoculars. then you run through the desert and find out everything was killed by the planes already.

then you win :D

What about an Anglo-Zanzibar war game, you invade, then thirty-eight minutes later peace is called and the game ends.
