What players say
If by any chance you are thinking "Wow!! Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts but with sailing tall ships!" - Nooo no, no, no. This is not anything like Dreadnoughts. Ultimate General would be a more suiting name for this game. you can choose from a range of countries as long its either the US or Britain. Bought it with a discount and still asked for a refund.
An abandoned game now owned by a company that uses DMCA takedowns to attack its competition. How very sad.
Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail Not much replayability after you're done with the campaigns Pretty decent game nonetheless, quite realistic!
