Learn more about The Glorious Cause from our FAQ
The Glorious Cause is a historically accurate strategy wargame focused on the American Revolution. The game evolves from detailed, hex-based tactical battles into a full campaign experience and ultimately a complete grand strategy and tactical simulation of the war for independence. Players command units, armies, and eventually entire theaters of war, making decisions that shape the course of history.
Development of The Glorious Cause is structured into three major phases:
-
Phase I focuses on tactical battles, allowing players to fight historically accurate engagements using a next-generation hex-based tactical engine.
-
Phase II introduces a campaign layer, placing those battles within a broader operational context.
-
Phase III completes the vision with a full strategic and tactical experience spanning North America, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic.
Each phase builds directly on the previous one.
If you buy the game during Phase I, you will receive all future updates for Phase II and Phase III at no additional cost. Phase I represents the lowest entry price for the game. As development progresses and new phases are released, the price will increase with each phase, reflecting the growing scope and content of the game.
Players who purchase during Phase II or Phase III will pay a higher price, while Early Access supporters retain full access to all content through final release. Once Phase III is complete, The Glorious Cause will exit Early Access and launch as a full release at its final, highest price.
