Anyone has seen a good Civil War game?
Perhaps like Rome or Medieval strategy turned based?

Activision madde an FPS civil war game that is just like Call of duty. But the thing is I havent played it in months since it lags so much and eventually no matter what you do it will crash AT LEAST 5 times during the first level. I havent got very far since it lags and crashes so much.

There are multiplayer mods for both HL1 and HL2 called Battlegrounds and Battlegrounds 2 respectively.

I'd go with Sid Meier's Gettysburg!.

 

[Sidus Preclarum]

on a strategical level, for grognards, there's American Civil War: From Sumter To Appomattox. A bit rough even by my standards.
for tactical level, you have Take command: second manassas, which I haven't played, but I know players who hold it in the highest regards... http://www.madminutegames.com/

You might be interested in Imperial Glory, a RTW'esque effort but based around 19th century empire building in europe. Similar style of combat.

You know, there's no such thing as a civil war...

Well, 2nd Manassas is good for the tactical bit, I've tried it but the style of warfare is not to my liking really.

Matrixgames has a number of more strategic level ones:

John Tiller’s Battleground Civil War (old classics re-released, I had Gettysburg and Shiloh)

American Conquest: Divided Nation is a pretty good game IMO.

While it doesn't have a turn-based strategic element like RTW/M2TW, it has really good tactical battles and there's a community of people who make excellent battle recreations. These guys made maps for a while and then eventually developed their own mods:

There's a game called "Civil War: War Between the States" or something like that. RTS game by a couple members from Ensemble Studios (age of empires) but it's constantly been delayed and updates are scarce.
I might be able to find a link later, though you could just google it.

I'd go with Sid Meier's Gettysburg!.

This.

There was also a pretty good TBS game from the mid 90s...forgot what it was called though.

I second Sid Meier's game. You can buy Sid Meier's Civil War. It covers Antietam and Gettysburg. I only have Gettysburg. Be aware though, it does require a little fiddling to get it to work under XP.
