| Ascaron and AGEOD to Release Birth of America II: Wars in America 1750-1815 Birth of America II: Wars in America 1750-1815 is the sequel to the historical strategy PC game Birth of America. Due for release in September 2008 by Ascaron and AGEOD, the new historically accurate battle strategy game allows players to experience wars in North America between the years of 1750 and 1815. The Battle of Fallen Timbers (1791-1794) saw American military forces fight Delaware and Shawnee Indians for control of the Northwest Territory in the final battle of the North-West Indian war. Despite the Indians allegiance with British troops, victory belonged to the Americans, resulting in an end to major hostilities in the area for almost 20 years. Players can choose to command either the Indian or American side in The Battle of Fallen Timbers campaign. The Delaware and Shawnee Indians are commanded by war chief Blue Jacket, who must ensure specific cities remain in Indian control by the end of the scenario. The Indian army has the advantage of better leadership and military quality at the start of the scenario, but face a tough challenge defending their cities against the vast US Legion troops that outnumber them 2:1. Alternatively, players can take on the role of veteran General Anthony Wayne to command the Legion of the United States army. The Americans must gain control of key strategic cities plus two Indian cities by the end of the campaign to be successful. The Legion of the United States army begins with disadvantages of poor leadership and troop quality, although these will both improve as the game progresses. The American army must avoid venturing into the regions of Fort Miami and Detroit as this will activate and anger recuperating British troops. The Battle of Fallen Timbers historically ended with the signing of the Treaty of Greenville, leading to the formation of Ohio as a modern day state. However, Birth of America II gives players the chance to change history, implementing the best attack and defence strategies in order ensure a victory for their side. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Game News :: home page |
