  1. American Conquest is a solid RTS that will entertain many a history buff and the casual gamer alike. Though it does have its share of issues, the game is still worth checking out.
  2. Get this if you're one of the elite who already love the franchise. New to RTS? Start with "Starcraft" or "Dawn of War," then move on to this.
  3. A mediocre real-time strategy. Unfortunately, the game seems to be based on the old American Conquest engine instead of the newer and more refined Cossacks II engine. [Feb 2006]

    American Conquest: Divided Nation's steep learning curve, dated mechanics and overly demanding system requirements are likely to prevent all but the most dedicated war gamers from enjoying its take on 19th Century warfare.

    Besides the lousy scroll function. This game is pretty fun and there is much replayability. However, U need to go through the manual to perfectly understand this game. This is a gem, and they dun make games like these anymore. Those cursory reviews by the professional reviewers will do this game injustice. Expand
