Challenging AI ... but some bugs, Mar 22, 2007
by Sean Geoghegan (Perth, Western Australia)
A relatively abstract user interface requires the player to have an imagination to enjoy the General. The AI is challenging - I didn’t win one game after nearly a hundred attempts - which can make the General frustrating. A player has control over the economy and population: peasants produce food, scientists develop technology (improving production, population growth and density, military strength, finances and research output) and soldiers go to war.
The most important part of going to war in the General is having enough generals to lead your troops. A general has a skill level that can be improved by experience or training, a maximum age of 100 years and a speed rating. The more a general defends or attacks the lower their morale reducing their abilities, so rotate your generals. Without a general the player can only defend.
Shortcomings are that there is no tactical game play and there are a few bugs causing errors and crashes from time to time.
Good idea, but needs fixing.

With this game, you can only see your actions and play just as you see this. Everything is typed and there are not any graphics.
The game could be fun, if you have a nice imagination, but other than that…for free…who cares!
