What about games about the American Civil War? I don't recall seeing such a thing. It was a pretty brutal war. I've got an uncle in California that has an antique gun collection ranging from powder loading pistols to large muskets.
thats all good but what about people who arnt in america that will not be that interesed in ur civil war what about our civil war or the french or any of the others around the world

Very rarely, if ever have i heard someone say "World War 2 was a GREAT thing that happened", mainly the only thing i ever hear out of everyones mouth is that it was a terrible tragedy. And if your trying to say that in a figurative way that games make it seem that way, they don't, and the developers of those games don't say anything close to the likes of WW2 being a good thing either, why do you think it's "You" always killing the germans? And practicaly everyone knows about World War 2 and everything, or atleast the general basis of it, so it can allow gamers to jump in already knowning all the background of everything that happened so minimal story telling is needed, i guess it would be a good money raising genre to say the least.
Well I just said that it seems like people pretend that WWII was a good thing, because they make a lot of money off of the genre.
I do get your point though.

LOL, not trying to exclude anyone dude, chill out. There are tons of games made of subjects specific to one region or country. Did you hear a lot of Germans and Russians whining when they made Paciifc Theater games saying, "Hey, we were in WWII too ya know!"
Anyways, I did some checking and found out there have been Civil War games made but they mostly have been crappy value games.

i no about that im just saying that there are other civil wars that could be used. a large numbe rof game devs are us and they make games orientated to the us of a but that can narrow down the market.

They should make a Civil War game that goes through with different campaigns to play, each as a different nation. So say you have 10 campaigns they could have French, Britain, American, Austrian, Roman and stuff like that. Revolutions from different times periods would make the game unique, though if they did make a game like that it would require a powerful engine depending on how ranged they made the time line. The engine would have to support the older gameplay such as Romans and Greeks revolutions, and it would also have to follow 16th-20th century revolutions. They could also through in a revolution they made by themselves...
Another game maybe worth getting that follows the American Civil War is called American Civil War Gettysburg...

I used GameRankings.com and searched for Civil War. The most common ones for PC are the History Channel one, which got poor reviews on PC, and American Civil War: From Sumter to Appomattox, which rates 79% but appears to be a simple mouse click strategy game. It's also a very old game, 1996 release.

With all due respect to the Brits whom gave their lives in WWII, I would think the Russians would be even more upset that most WWII games focus on Americans because they lost more troops than any of the allied forces, over 20,000,000.
Games are always going to be slanted by those whom make them, it's just the way it is. Many of the best British battles pre WWII were short lived because the Brits had such a strong naval force, though I really don't think you'd like to see a game about the Revolutionary War, despite what dev team were to make it.
There are always going to be unsung heroes, that's why I think even WWII games haven't been fully exploited. There were very brave resistance forces from many countries that were vital to the war effort against the Nazis. Also, there were many snipers not given due credit like the Scottish Ghillies that trained the Brits how to stealth snipe and the many Russian women whom were expert snipers.
