Civil War Generals 2

TheNewRomance I'd still be very interested in replaying this. I haven't found anything like it covering the ACW so far, nearly 30 years after the original's release.
Flexna Getting this and the original Civil War Generals 1 to work easily on modern Windows would be a nice treat.
JonnyClegs I'd love to see this game available again. There's something about this game that a modern RTS just doesn't capture.
crow13b Loved this game as a kid, found it here. It works! www.old-games.com/download/5142/civil-war-generals-2
Kanlep Give us this game or I'll stop breathing.
truthRealm +1
none of the recently or soon-to-be-released Civil War games come close to the features this had...and few seem to care as much about getting as much of the history as correct as possible as this did!
HedonNuwanda Aún no entiendo cómo es posible que GOG no oferte este juego. Me parece inexplicable.
Luka020 My thumbs up for this game to be ported to PC and Linux! This is one of rare turn based tactical games that got just everything right! A flawless combat system and supply system, fog of war, even a perfectly thought out system for when the night falls on the battlefield, with the cherry on the top of being able to see end-of-battle statistics adjusted to scale. Modern developers are struggling to replicate a formula developed more than 20 years ago!
Navi0 This game has around 4 topics for made it alive via Gog. Could they be in ONE that all that votes can count together?
This games deserve to be alive again. And one major problem lay in gap between dos and later windows games: under dos mode is not running... so run a dos symulator do not helps as well as compatybility mode (only to win98 sp2) under windows... so probably win95 would be fit as his environmental; as well as 64/32 bit compatibility issue.
FallingBright As many have said, given the fact that this is one of the all time great hex strategy games, and that is literally the only genre that hasn't been pushed forward by modern tech (save a few great point and click adventures) , this is one of the few good old games that is truly relevant beyond nostalgia in its genre today. It's worth the effort GOG - hope it sees the light of day here.
se7ens22 The only way to make this game work (and CWG1) is using a 32bit win 10/7/xp OS. The wing32.dll only works with x86 because it was made x86. I play it all the time for win 10 via virtual OS with 32bit OS.
GOG would have a hard time converting MANY of the code for windows 10 64bit as the source code isn't available for sale or Sierra has a strict reproduction rights. The only way this game will get streamlined in GOG is if there is a huge demand for it or if there is resurgence of civil war games for 2021. Sadly, we won't see CWG1 & 2 on GOG. They can try but it will never be perfect.
Jim...S I believe I still have the files to make it play without a cd as well but could never play online after getting win7 I think it was . If any one knows how to play somewhere online and wants to play let me know. Player made scenarios by Stonewall Jackson, old sierra players will remember him as well as Ghosts Gettysburg as being most often played competitively . Tournaments with a dozen Generals mapping out strategy and then trying to execute them. Great fun till it became unsupported, The Nobunaga's ambition is another oldy people might try which would be good if it could be played on line,many hours spent playing with my brothers on wet days.
Jim...S I have the original cd,but have dled from gog before,no where to play online now though. I have dozens of player made scenarios,many even based weaponry units and forces for 2 player combat.
pageround Was hoping gog had it, looking for a legal copy.
Jiruri Would love it if this one came to GoG. The free version might work, but is definitely not optimized for modern systems and resolutions :/
FallingBright This is one of the greatest hex based strategy games of all time, I have no doubt it would hold up extremely well! Especially as modern hex based strategy games still don't rely much on graphics. Would be a wonderful addition to the catalogue!
Michael_A._Mnich I have a 64 bit system, and see there are several file versions. Which versions do I need, and where do they go?
Thanks,
Mike
Michael_A._Mnich I tried the suggestions on Wargamer, but I can't run the game in win10. It says the mss32.dll and smackw32.dll are missing. I don't remember those files being mentioned. Where do they go?
JeffStMary Would love to play CWG II again!!!
Turjake This classic needs to be here, just like Sid Meier's Gettysburg.
rcirillo YESSS
I AM TRYING TO INSTALL IT RIGHT NOW! I'D PAY 10$ RIGHT NOW TO PLAY THIS WITHOUT THE HASSEL OF FIGURING OUT HOW TO PLAY IT
Tophappy Agreed, played this game a little as a kid (could only win battles when I had numerical advantages way back then) and found it again online and actually learned to properly play back in 2015... but between computer crashes and weblinks to fixes going offline I haven't been able to play since, but still have all my original save files backed up. Recently joined here cause I saw Homeworld: "Emergence" on here and had never gotten to play that one before. So lets get some CWG2!!!!
StevenThomasGaming This game is needed. I have the save files for a full campaign that I need to finish on my YouTube Channel. Lets go GOG! Please.
Geaux5094 Try this. www.wargamer.com/articles/war-game-compatibility-win-10-vol-2/
Geaux3188 Hey y'all. There is a website that has CWG II as a full download that works great on windows 10. Been playing it for over a year now. The bad news is that I can't remember the website. I got it by goggle and asking for CWG II tpplay on windows 10. I'll keep looking for it. I've had no problems with the game and it runs without the CD.
jpanside Come on GOG. This game is worth it!!!!!!
jkershaw Also would buy CWG 2 in a heart beat
bwit43 I'd pay a good amount of money to get this up and running on my laptop.
Gapeagle I don't care how old this request is, we still want it on this site.
rouge1701 Please, GOG, I need this. My 20 year old CD gave up the ghost.
grislte421 I have played this game more times than I can count. Now I'm listening to history podcasts and craving the chance to play this again. It's been years, but I still think this is one of the best civil war Sims out there.
GrudgeBringer_ I found my old game in a move. For all you REALLY old gamer's that perhaps played on Ten or the Sierra game rooms...I am/was GrudgeBringer. I took the game to Computer shop that I use for my business. They somehow made it come back to life and i am still playing against the computer (if anyone knows how to win at Chancellorsville as the South...lol, let me know. If anyone knows how to set up a one on one link (I am not a computer whizz) let me know!!!
ObiKKa Not sure if this option will work. But the free game data files for this game are available at one website. Not sure about how well they, with the available patches being applied, would work on modern computers, though. www.cwg2.org/
drewbian loved this game growing up, played my demo more times than i can remember! would love to play the full thing on gog!
Dan4GS Come on, GOG! Get this one ASAP!
GusTheWriter Let's get this classic on here already!
Geaux5094 Question. Years ago there was a site to download many, many new battles and scenarios. Does this or one like it still exist?
Geaux5094 at old-games.com you can get a copy of civil war generals 2 that works on windows 10.
FallingBright Would pay any price for this GOG *come on*
zkconover This game was phenominal, the sheer number of scenarios and easy to learn game play still hold up today. Would love to see a reboot.
Rommel_41 I'd love to see this title updated to work on a modern OS.
I've got my CD still, but I know it (like my Panzer General 2) it won't work.
With the brilliant success I've had with their copy of PG2, I'd love to have CWG2!
VinasSolamnus Near perfect game that GOG needs to get!
jamiller89 I would pay a lot of money for this
sandman1110 I bought the original on CD, when that quit working, I downloaded it from Old Games.com. that version won't work with Windows 7 and higher. I will definitely buy it again if you folks can make a workable version at GOG. It has to be the best strategy game covering the American Civil War ever. It has infinite re-playability and branching campaigns that cover a thousand "what if's". This would be well worth the time and effort to convert and devleop.
babisili make it work for windows 10 and i will buy it 10 times.
Donaldo1968 It was and is one of the best strategy game ever.
sarge42 Please,ignore the low voting on this.This is one of the greatest turn based strategy games in history,and would be instant buying for many of us.
mannedmoney Please. Just please.
tchamblee67 Would buy this, no question. Please GOG, just do it.
Dieudonne Fun Game. Triggering of AI is simplistic, but remains fun, and potentially a great game for multiplayer. Infantry bumps, rather than shoots, & my daughter met Obomber, but no one - no game is perfect.
Overall; one of the best - fun - and what are games for? pc games ever crafted. At one point, Impressions announced their intention to create a Civil War Generals 3, but shortly gave up on the idea. To improve on CWG2 would necessitate some serious improvement work on the AI Triggering.
Having a working CWG2 (on windows 10), would be a great step forward for man/women kind.
