American revolution video game?

I’m thinking of making a video game on the American revolution and want some feed back and want to know if anyone would be interested in playing a game like this so I was thinking of making it a fps game following a soldier serving under Washington and having all the key battles of the war the goal is to be a more campaign based game rather than multiplayer due to reload time being slow and have it be extremely historically accurate I just feel it would be so sick having a game were u line up and see cannon balls taking legs off of people next to u and smoke building up as the battle goes on all from a first person perspective the goal would be to make it almost like playing threw a history documentary and showing the true grim reality of napoleonic warfare while also teaching history in an entertaining way all in all just want some honest feedback

    any game where you have a gun or cannon and can knock off peoples bodie parts and buildings with physics would be in instant classic i think..!

    I don't know how great of an idea hard core historical accuracy is with this. The deadliest thing in that war was smallpox. Many times more soldiers fell to that than died in battle. True, "grim reality" may focus more on avoiding a coughing soldier in your own ranks than avoiding musket fire.

    I do think it's an interesting time period and viewing it from a single soldier's perspective would be a unique take, but would muskets really be enough action for a FPS?

  • ther'es quite a few on that subject, 2 i can think of straight of the top of my head..... ultimate admiral Civil war,    and    a really old game, which is just being re-released...North & South....

    there's always room for quality games,as long as they are not platformers lol  (joking), and i'm sure you have heard of total war napoleon..one of the earlier total war games
