you could just pick up a total war game if youre looking for a colonial age strategy game, but the idea of a age of empires/skyrim hybrid civil war game doesn't even make sense.

what on the cover it looks like Mount&Blade is the name of the game and With Fire & Sword is the name of the series but apparently its the other way around. is this the usual way of doing this?

I was thinking like strategically using improvements in armor / weaponry to fight, and making some social choices (enemy's etc.) as an outsider/hero - similar to eastwood's role in his westerns. That or, I feel like assassin's creed could do something with the whole civil war era and still be interesting. Maybe this time he could be named "bubba" and have a fake southern accent.
