The shadow of the Thirty Years War hit the British Isles in 1625, as Charles I became King of England. Accustomed to a weaker Scottish Parliament, the new King found fiercer opposition from the Parliament in London.

Now, only two decades later, open war has started with the Royalists facing the Parliamentarians, and the conflict is raging in England and Scotland.

The Country is at odds, its population forced to take a side and torn apart by religious divisions.

No one can be neutral this time. To whom will you swear your loyalty? To the King or to the Parliament?

The choice is yours!

A new game from Ageod is in the development, and it will focus on the grim years of the English Civil Wars (1642-1646)!

Directly from the product page:

“With a detailed selection of the historical units of the conflict you will find the Covenanters, Newcastle’s whitecoats, Cromwell’s Ironside’s, the new model Army or the Cornish legendary infantry. Players can build and manage their armies, throughout the campaigns set in the various theaters of operations like Yorkshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, Bristol, Lincolnshire”

Two playable factions, Six scenarios, Historical Events triggered throughout the game, Regional Decision Cards, all of this and more, will make you relive the wars that laid the foundation of the British Empire.

Get more information about the English Civil War game from its product page

Status: offline 		You can imagine its very soon to say that will happen. But as with TYW, both deserve more. Lack of time, specially regarding the research more than the proper design, build and test is what prevents of having in this version at least the Second English Civil War.
But I have discovered with this development a truly interesting piece of history of these kingdoms. We have the map, the units and 90% of the leaders so we just need time after release to work on new scenarios just to have, lets say, the complete set of wars. Being the Great Civil War 42-46 the most important of them and as a game probably the most funny to play. Of course, to develop a DLC is not, or will not be, my own decision, it will be always a common decision.

thanks for supporting

Unsteady handling of lead Continental elements by Major General Charles Lee had allowed British rearguard commander Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis to seize the initiative


it's about right for the time, for units to be given the name of the commander officer.

i maybe wrong mind you, my average is about 50/50

You are right, will be fixed asap. But it is not related with accuracy, just with my Spanish brain making wrong translations.
Thanks.

Given that the first generally noted dissent to Charles rule was the "Bishops War" ( in Scotland ), this seems to be a rather in-concise observation IMHO.
This statement most probably did apply however to James I...

[ Certainly there was a "fiercer opposition from the Parliament in London" over the longer term ; whilst his relationship with the Scots Parliament was almost non existent as he initially ruled (via a Scots Privy Council) directly from London. ]
