Opinions on the development of Battle Cry of Freedom.

I agree with it being announced too early. Also, a fair amount of people aren't too fond of a Civil War themed game. I would rather play a Napoleonic Wars mod for Bannerlord tbh.

NA played NW despite their complete lack of involvement in the war. Why should Europeans be any different? In the end it's just a game. It's fun. I seriously doubt many people are going to drop the game simply because they're not interested in the setting.

I would.  I like the Napoleonic era more than the ACW. When Bannerlord comes out you can bet your ass that an NW mod will soon come. That's where I will be.

I'm willing to bet 99% of people will be playing bcof anyway simply because it's where most of the community is. Sure, if a big NW mod or expansion comes out people will switch to it primarily, but I seriously doubt the game will be completely devoid of EU players until them. People like to say they'll do a lot of things before they actually do them.

I do not agree that there won't be a big player base, NaS mod has been very succesful both in NW and Warband. And it's still alive, I think it won't have a HUGE player base, but it will have quite a big playerbase (ofcourse depending on the price and consumentensurplus (sry dutch economy)).
Once again I wait and see. Although they better pull out a demonstration video or it's all dead. Until that comes out, I won't throw money. Greenlight has been enough of waste of money.

Battle Cry of Freedom brings back memories of when I first played north and south.  For a lot of NA players I think they would enjoy fighting in North America as "Americans"  rather than Europeans fighting each other in endless wars. Locust you're one of those people who enjoy the napoleonic era so that's fine, I don't hate it nor dislike it either.   But I doubt they'll make something like napoleonic wars again, i don't really think it will get enough support. Most of the NA community in my opinion would rather want to express their heritage instead.

He didn't say he had Civil War heritage, only that the NA community does

My ancestors immigrated to the US in early 1900s, were in Europe during the civil war so I don't have any heritage, but I am an American so still would love to play as the confederates or union as I was brought up learning about the civil war, and it's still a big part of me, regardless if I have had any ancestors in it.  Honestly most Americans probably are on the same boat.. including Edward.  That's like saying since my grandad fought in the Pacific during WW2 that I will feel more heritage or bondage if playing as an American soldier in the Pacific, which isn't true.. American history is American history and the civil war is a huge part of it, Honestly part of every Americans heritage.

[Nipplestockings]

A few on my dad's side fought in Texas for the confeds, but I never learned their units or what action they saw. I feel no connection to the confederacy because of my ancestry though. I don't see why any Europeans should feel like they can't enjoy bcof simply because their countries had nothing to do with it. It's just a war game in a different setting. What's the problem?
