I bought this a few days ago and have put a few hours into it. There are certain aspects I like such as the Corps/campaign management but the actual battles I find a bit....dry. I don't know, I guess what I'm really looking for is Total War: ACW.

I guess the nearest you can currently get would be TW: Empire?

Not at all. Empire has an extensive economic/trade/building aspect while Ultimate General: Civil War does not. It operates at the tactical level for the most part but you can purchase weapons and equipment upgrades for your brigades in between battles.


The graphics are also much less impressive even compared to TW: Empire and Empire came out almost 10 years ago.
