Master Command, a new 18th-century strategy game by Armchair History Interactive, has launched, offering a tactical alternative to Total War: Empire. Set during the Seven Years' War, the game emphasizes resource management and strategic choices.
Game Features and Mechanics
The game highlights individual soldiers and their relationship with the environment. Over 150 historical unit types provide diverse tactical options. Players must consider terrain in battles, manage formations, and exploit enemy weaknesses.
On the strategic map, decision-making is critical: build settlements, manage supplies, and select officers to progress through the campaign.
Enhancements and Customization
Master Command's full release improves campaign flow and battle AI, with less accurate enemy artillery and balanced maps. Players can customize army colors and flags, adding depth to the game's strategy.
Pricing and Availability
Available on Steam for $29.99 (£24.99), the game offers a 10% discount until 2023-11-03, bringing the price down to $26.99 (£22.49).
