Reviews for "Battlefield General"

It's OK

But the cannons are too strong. Really the only thing that can hurt cannons is other cannons--even horses can't do much damage if you split your cannons up into 2 groups. I beat the first level with 1 cannon and my general, and nothing else.

Also your units never attack the guys what you want to, and they won't retreat when you want.

freeworldgroup responds:

cannons can easily get wiped out if the enemy gets too close - in later levels this happens very easily.

Not bad, but...

for one thing, make an attack-move option! gods, i spent an hour on the second mission because of that alone, clicking one by one is goddam tedious as hell. Other than that, not bad, though it could use a larger area of music, and if you can, find a way to lower the CPU usage.

freeworldgroup responds:

not sure about your clicking problem - you can select entire groups or use the hotkeys.

I love the gameplay.

But so many glitches in the game and it's very annoying. Try to fix the bug in that game and especially if your making part 2.

freeworldgroup responds:

hmmm you need to be more specific - the game has been beta tested for over a month - the game operates as we intended it to work : - )

It was somewhat fun the first few levels...

The units just go off and attack when you don't want them too...:\
also, the gameplay was okay... gotta make another wy to make money then to kill soldiers..

well, other than that, I'd say it was a okay game...could use some more improving though...

freeworldgroup responds:

making money from killing soldiers is an age old tradition - you loot the body of the soldier you kill.

Great, except for unit AI and mouse control.

Foremost of all, this appears to be a very awesome strategy game. I liked the cannons most of all, and it was pretty awesome getting a few of em and blasting everyone. However, when I upgraded my general with a bow, I instantly disliked the unit AI. I was all prepped for going Mongolian hit-and-run style, but my suicidal general wanted to run TOWARDS the fifty or so spearmen that were chasing him. Also, my cannons never really shot at anything I told them to shoot. They'd seem to aim at whatever unit they wanted, not the closest.

Faster scrolling would help too. Using arrow keys is a drag, especially when you need to manage recruiting units and fighting a battle at the same time. Maybe rally points would help this a bit.

Pretty good game, but it has lame kinks.

freeworldgroup responds:

if you want the cannons to hit a specific target, you only need to click on that target and they will aim for nothing else. : - )
