On the fence

[javelina]

I love ACW. I'm a huge ACW history buff. Long time Grognard, who also combats online. Via ArmA, DCS, and all of the MP sim/games (just too many to list). Believe me, I've been gaming for so long. I've been part of Mil-Sims for quite a while.

My question is this, should I dive in with the Captain contribution, and give WoR a whirl now? I mean rather, is it really playable and enjoyable at this point?

I work in IT, and completely understand the development stages. Plenty of experience with PoC, alpha, beta, and the interactions of applications & tools functioning on top of the infrastructure....

Would love to join up, but would appreciate hearing some feedback...

TIA,

I would say it is. The devs are adding a lot of content as of late and it's starting to shape up and, barring the max server size (64) its a very nice civil war simulator.

I would say not. Chip in something less, so you'll still get the game, but wait to see if it's right for you. If you like what you see, you can always up your pledge.
Also, you don't want to get burnt out on a game still in closed alpha.

Best,

I say least get the $35 Sergeant tier, you would still have to wait but early access is not that far away. If you would to go higher, then go higher and donate $69 to get alpha access.

To support development (and my love of all ACW), I went ahead and made a Captain's pledge. (I did submit a badge/account link submittal. just waiting for that to come through). Catch you all soon on the virtual battlefields. :-)

Congrats! Captain.

Congrats! Captain.

From here in the Southwest, Gracias kind sir!

Congratulations, Captain!
IMO, joining (or creating, but that's a lot of work) a regiment really adds to the WoR experience. Are you planing on following any regimental colors?

would like to be part of, or help establish the Michigan Brigade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Brigade Dismounted for now, of course. :-)

Specifically, 5th Regiment. E Company. I'm partial to that County. Being born there. :-)

You've made a fine choice. I always go back and reference the fact that at some point in our lives, we've wasted $59-$69 on some shitty console game. So your money is much more well spent in this development effort. Just think, people pay that type of money for things like Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Monopoly, etc., on consoles. There's no brain power involved in that, just porting a TV show or board game to digital.

Well if you can stand some of its teething issues totally, just gonna have to wait for events for some actual players.

Fuck enjoying anything other than a civil war game, amiright?

[javelina]

it is a great game that only will get better. indeed!

I would say it is worth buying the captain rank now, but that's just me. at the moment Game play and game mechanics are great. Everyone I have found of the game is good fun to play with and the community is quite enjoyable. the only downside I would say at the moment is that with the buy in price for the technical alpha the player base is relatively small and servers are often empty, as could be expected in a technical alpha.

Yes
