sorry, but no way I'm going to buy it without a demo. I want to see the changes between this and AACW firsthand

beatoangelico

I hope that the AI can handle all the systems, that's my biggest concern. As for the new players, I think they need an improved interface compared to the previous ageod games.

beatoangelico

this is not unexpected, just see Cities in Motion, another recent game published by paradox: priced 20 € but with the preoder goodies and dlc that we are gonna see for PoN. paradox clearly is taking a gamble with this pricing model, wich is very different from their usual one (40 € as in...

beatoangelico

since all paradox games are on steam it will be surprising if PON won't show up there

beatoangelico

Hope for a Standard Edition (grayscale manual) or a Collector's Edition (full color)?

none, matrix never "upgrades" the boxed copies.

beatoangelico

It will be available at least from us online (and this stays the best way to show your support to us, because other distributors take their cut on the price), it will be available physically and online from Matrix, and it will be available at least online from Gamersgate (don't know about a physica...

beatoangelico

a physical copy should be available from matrix

beatoangelico

I've read that RUS will be available through Matrix, are gamersgate and impulse being considered for distribution too?

I love the map too, even if not as much as AACW and BIA ones (which are absolute gems). The artist is the same the made the RoP map, right?

beatoangelico

the map looks impressive, but I have a few remarks and questions: can you click on a icon and jump to the corresponding stack? can you zoom the strategic map? it looks a little tiny it would be nice if you can get the name of the leader in addition to the name of stack in the tooltips also I have to...

many thanks to both of you

hello guys, I'm in the middle of my first AACW campaign, I'm playing as the Union. In early march 1862 I get these 2 events, "General War Order Number 2" and "Nothern papers push for an 1862 offensive". I need "12 units adjacent to Washington DC" and "10 units within 2 regions (of Richmond)" to full...

I'm not a marketing guy, but I'm skeptical about the potential of the timeframe. The little I know of the wargaming world is that a lot of people, when choosing a game, looks at the subject first, and gameplay second, and that's partially true also for the more mainstream strategy audience. And even...

the spanish civil war is extremely close to WW2 and it's still undoubtly a very niche war (outside spain, of course).

beatoangelico

russian revolution? I'm the rare kind of wargamer that doesn't really care about the historical subject as long as the game is good, but this is really a niche period...

beatoangelico

yeah! brazil's out!

beatoangelico

So now, who to support?

it's much easier to root against

now that england's out I just hope brazil goes out too, then anyone left could win and I'd be happy about it

wasn't VGN the very first project of AGEOD, started before you shifted all the resources on the "smaller" Birth of America?

beatoangelico

my game was non-standard (had the bad idea of switching between 1.06 and 1.07, and it was also my first game, with a fair amount of reloading to understand what was going on) but I virtually beaten the USA without a lot of sweat. Took NY without fighting in spring 1776 while staying on the defensive...

beatoangelico

I guess passive posture doesn't block anything while defensive and offensive postures works the same in this regard. Just my guess, I can be wrong

beatoangelico

The risk I'd see is that if Victoria is no good it could put people off buying another game about the period. If it is good it will likely raise more interest for VGN (especially with people like a bit more emphasis on war than economics) imho is the opposite...victoria 2 will get a decent amount o...

beatoangelico

The more I play games and the more I'm convinced the perceived complexity of a game is made up 50% by the actual gameplay complexity and 50% by the quality of the interface...and a good UI has also a good graphical quality. I'm actually thinking of suggest a bunch of interface tweaks in the VGN foru...

first read about AGEOD in an italian mainstream PC games magazine: it was the one page review of BoA

I thought "hey nice map" but it ended there. Then I seriously got involved when AGEOD was bought by paradox and the first stuff about RoP come out in the paradox forum.

thanks mate, it worked...and now I see that it was already mentioned in this thread

I'm feeling quite stupid right now

beatoangelico

ok it wasn't just one crash...I got CTDs every time a battle happens. I've tried a clean install and fired up a small scenario but no way, still crashing

. I didn't play the game much before this week but 1.15 worked fine.

got a crash during the resolution phase of turn 2 of the july 1861 campaign with kentucky. What's the email address to send the files?

beatoangelico

it's going to be 2011 guys: http://www.paradoxplaza.com/press/2010/5/paradox-interactive-updates-2010-release-dates

In unrelated news, I have the bad feeling that victoria 2 will be half broken at release.

beatoangelico

I haven't a lot of experience but IMHO the best one to start is BoA or BoA2. While I agree that the smaller scenarios of AACW are very good, the leap from these ones to the full campaign is really big: the map is HUGE, railroads add another big strategic layer which of course is absent in BoA, and y...

You want your wargames cheaper? Try Naval Warfare online shop....hps games are $29.99 rather than $49.99. http://yhst-12000246778232.stores.yahoo.net/ As a scenario tester for Squad Battles I can highly recommend this game. Great tactical turn based system..all the games in the series constantly ge...

Anyway I think the problem is finding new blood. Not one of my friends have ever heard of or even know what a real wargame is. I say I play mainly wargames on the PC and the usual reply is "What Call of Duty or Yeah Ive played Command and Conquer"... I think there are no easy answer for that. My be...
