For Liberty is a turn-based 18th century strategy game based on a upgraded game engine from the game 1848. Command the armies of the newly born United States or the British Empire during the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). As an added bonus, fight in Hungary, as either Rakoczi's poorly equipped rebels or the Austrians during the War of Spanish Succession, from 1703 to 1711.
The For Liberty demo features a hypothetical southern campaign from April to October 1780. You must stop the raiding Indians and must also fight a full British brigade. Most gameplay features are enabled in the demo--you can even play the tactical battles. TCP/IP and PBEM multiplayer are not available in this version, but if there is interest we will release a multiplayer-enabled demo in the future. In addition to the American Revolution, don't forget that the full game also features an entire other theater of operations: Hungary during the Rakoczi Independence War. This was the eastern conflict that occured during the Spanish Inheritance War (1703-1711). It is a completely different experience from war in the colonies and features fort sieges and much more fluid use of cavalry.
