When I bought this game i loved it my computer fit the profile perfectely but when i was playing the game would freeze up it froze up and the computer froze up all the time.However it could of been the drivers in my computer but im not sure it might not do it for all.But i just know I have a highly upgraded system and it was doing this.On gameplay Ide give 100 stars but if it didnt have that bug i would of gaven it full 5 stars.Other than that very great game.

First of all let me just say that if you liked cossacks you'll like this game to.
Personally, I hate 'build-fest' games where the number of units you build is much more important than strategy or tactics.
I much prefer Medieval Total War to this game.
Multiplayer suffers from horrible lag, I don't know what the deal is with that.
Indian units have rediculously low morale: I am affended by this because the Indians were defending their homeland, and they were brave warriors. They would not run in fear. But what can you expect? The developers was made by a german company. Issues surrounding customer support for english speakers abound, as they do not make patches for english versions of the game.

the game is too realistic to produce any fun. there are lot of things which the computer knowns and the players don't. unfortunatly the computer gets a head start at things. the realism takes the fun things out of it. unreasonable things also go wrong in this game. characters don't follow what u tell them to do, it should be that way!

I first looked on Amazon and thought American Conquest was a cool game, I even found a discount for the gold edition. It looked like a good game right? Wrong! I threw some money right down the drain!

Pros
The game has an awosome campain.
You get a great variety of civs.( Though they basicly just look diffrent.)
You get a ton of units.
The music wasn't terribly annoying

Cons
The game laggs way, way too much. (At the time I had more than half my memorey, which is 37 gigs.)

The game was way too realisic.(As in if you run low on recorces all your millatry units would turn on you, or out of fifty freacking guys only one acually hits the guy and it takes like three minutes just to reload.)

When one building or ship is hit it keeps on taking dammage even when your villagers repair it.

The second you build a guy recorces start depleting( There for you need like 150 guys just to be working on one recorce to stop it from going down at break neck speed

AND FINALLY THE THING THAT IS NOT JUST STUPID BUT IS MY FINAL PLEA NOT TO BUY THIS GAME IS THAT IT DESTROYS YOUR COMPUTER!!!!!
My dad and I are complete computer tecno wizards and it took both of us a month to un-do every all the damage American Conquest did to me.

Greatest Love of All

If your wondering why I didnt mark down the # of stars I would give this game, there is a simple explanation. I haven't played it yet. But this game is nothing short of candy for your eyes.
I have been waiting for 5 years for a game of the revolution to come out (well one that didn't [disappoint me]). I have waited for this moment since Age OF Empires, Age Of Empires II, and Age Of Empires II: Conquest the expansion. I was watching an invisible clock count down to the one game that hit this great part of the timeline that is computer game scenarios.

A REFERENCE TO COLONIAL HISTORY

By George! This is the game a historian waits for! It is accurate in reloding, accuracy of weaponry, uniforms, and much more. If anyone is interested in America's beginings, this game will place you as a struggling, powerful cheif, new to these strange "advanced" people. Or a Royal Favorite, granted land from the King! An arrogant Brittish General, Burgoyne, Clinton, Howe, Cornwalis, Gage, or someone else. Also, this game is very fun, too! If your in school, you will remember famous history terms and dates, and it was cunningly taught to you by this game. (Of course my first resource would be a book). Enjoy this game buyer!

Wow!
