Description


“My Country ‘Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty…”…

Birth of America II: Wars in America 1750-1815 is the expanded reprise of veteran developer AGEOD’s acclaimed first release, which allows players to command either side of the conflicts involved with the American War for Independence between 1750 and 1815. Apart from the engaging turn-based strategy play that has been expanded and vastly improved over the original, Birth of America II includes major new features like an improved and expanded map including the Mississippi River, new European off-map boxes (France, GB, Spain, Holland) and more.

Birth of America II also comes packed with over 100 new leaders and units, new orders, new abitlities, several new scenarios including Fallen Timbers (1791-1794), Great Lakes (1813), New Orleans (1815), and new Political, Economic and Diplomatic options!

Armchair General:”Birth of America 2 engages the player thoroughly... for the player interested in strategy this is a good choice.”

Diehard GameFAN: “Improved AI, a turn replay feature, and the inclusion of economic and social statistics adds even more depth to the already impressive historical emulation the original BoA game offered.”
