Why are there no good Civil War games? I want a awesome rpg or something

Because they would be hamfisted "ALL SOUTHERNS ARE EVIL RACISTS WHO DESERVE TO BE SLAUGHTERED LIKE ANIMALS AND HUMILIATED FOR GENERATIONS TO COME" type of games.
I'm very grateful that there are not many games based on the civil war.

>implying American media and literature hasn't had a boner for some delusional "lost, romantic Southern way of life" for most of American history since the Civil War
>>344589531
Yeah you're probably right

What's wrong with telling the truth?

There are dozens of Civil War strategy games. I'm actually surprised they keep getting made. I don't know who is buying them.
Ultimate general Gettysburg is fun but it only got on map but you can play both sides. I gues they are a few wargames about the civil war but these are Nintendo tier in term of pricing.
>"The Civil War wasn't about slavery or secession, it was about states' rights!"
It's true.
States' rights to decide wether or not to have slavery or secede, primarily.
Sid Meier's Gettysburg was amazing.
I haven't tried the one that is basically an updated version of it yet.
Didn't the dudes who made Hinterland make a Civil War one?
There are also a few Civil War grand strategy games. Also, you have the expansion to Victoria II that adds civil war stuff.

Probably because-- like world war I-- the American Civil War isn't really that interesting unless you take massive liberties with the equipment and way it was fought.
Outside of a strategy game, it's just not that good an era of history for vidya.
funny how people still think the civil war was about slaves, and how Lincoln was this great anti-racist slave freer when he was racist himself and northern abolitionists was freeing the slaves way before him
