Congratulations to you and your wife.

1) by exiging low prices and free upgrades to wargames. I would add that, as everybody knows, the product has the price you are willing to pay for it and after being so often disappointed by games released in an unfinished state, players tend to think, from their own point of view, that prices shou...

So far in Gamespot there is only one critics review and is very bad, a fan of Total War series. I know Gamespot is not a reference for wargames, but anyway somebody should tell them that there are much better reviews available ;) http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/riseofprussia/review.html?mode=we...

The science fiction novel Robur the Conqueror by Jules Verne (1886) was maybe the first example of what we call steampunk fantasy.

The system is nevertheless promising but it relies on 2 synchronized cameras (25 im/s) and a software able to analyse in real time not less than 48 differents points of a moving body (the player)...and here it is the challenge.
So the long development time is finaly understandable.

Before purchasing a Wii and despite its own advantages, I'm currently following with interest the development of the "Natal project"; a new way of playing without any controller . Maximum freedom of play, it seems, but we don't know its price and if the technology will be reliable soon after being a...

Bienvenue, cher Lyonnais.
On espère que VGN saura séduire autant les amateurs (éclairés) que les wargamers les plus exigeants. Un beau challenge.

A Merry Christmas to all !

You can even enable a "grognard" mode in which you play a battle limited to the eye-sight of your army commander. You will only be able to see in 3D what Napoleon would see, and in a 2D map only what the dispatches of your subordinates tell you. I think this is, by far, the most interesting and ori...

Well, both games are already confirmed... so, there is nothing we can do about it... there will be two games about the Victorian period with different features each one. :D To clear up my comments above : Now the official announcement about Paradox acquiring Ageod is done (knowing about the discuss...

Absolutely. I tend to play so called RT games when there is no better (aka TB) alternative available. That's exactly what I said at the beginning of my post. And we shoudn't also underestimate the fact that the first game released will also create the first appeal and then the first sales and even ...

I don't think so, because even from the definition of each game, they are different. One is TURN BASED and the other one is REAL TIME... that's a HUGE difference on its own. ;) There are a LOT of people that just hate real time strategy games... and exactly the same happens in the other side. ;) Al...

Adlertag

I completelly agree... and we, wargamers, should support both so we have more options to choose from! :thumbsup: :D Exactly, but if there is a room to play or support both games, many players won't be able to buy both so in the end, having 2 nearly similar games on the same "niche" will obviously l...

At least we can already see the maps of Victoria 2 and VGN are rather different...guess which one I prefer ?

The quote from Clémenceau about Faure dying in the bed of his mistress has to be in french, typically the sentence that can't be translated : "Il voulait être César, il ne fut que Pompée" I like also very much the surname given to Felix Faure's mistress : "La pompe funèbre" as she indirectly killed...

And now, in France, with the vaccination campaign growing, we are beginning to see the first Guillain–Barré syndrome... The people are upset by the use of additive (adjuvant) to help the vaccine to me more efficient but then we don't understand why pregnant women (for example) may benefit from the v...

A somewhat famous quote of Napoleon III. It shows he is really a brilliant man. This quote below is, I'm not 100% sure, from Marshall Joffre, here is a translation attempt as I don't find it except in French : "The infantryman has to copy in each of its attitude the crab louse, this sublime animal w...

Just more proof of Holger Bech Nielsen and Masao Ninomiya's theories that the universe/God/the future/whatever is preventing us from fully operating the LHC so we don't blow ourselves up or whatever. :rolleyes: Wow! And why not also implying the Aliens ? :D more frightening, more funny by the way. ...

Adlertag

Or is it possible the problem came from supporters of the Fermilab Tevatron, the sole competitor of the LHC.

You may find also some interest to watch (or search for) the new television series about WW2: Apocalypse , programmed in september 2009 in France (France 2 channel). Critics were laudatory. Note that many images were re-colorized, it gives an unique feeling of the events of that period. Links : http...

I had much pleasure with these games : *Panzer General and Fantasy General, the best ones of this long saga. *Age of Empire, it opened a new sort of "kingdom sim" RTS games. *Medal of Honor, it was my fisrt experience of a FPS, cool. *The great Master of Orion 2. And a special award for Stars!, stil...

While your appetite for a new release of Ageod's good games is understandable, you may imagine that releasing a game each year is really a big, if not impossible, challenge for such a small company.

That said, ROP is now the best candidate for a release around Christmas.

Adlertag

Your impatience is understandable as we are all more or less frustrated by NCP for various reasons, gameplay, having or not a grand-campaign, more economy, more detailed combat report or even a tactical module and so on... This said, the game still offers a challenge on big scenarios and keeps an in...

Adlertag

I understand they are talking about historical short-medium scenarios about these conflicts that will be included in addition to the long campaigns. I bet that in a long campaign, this and other conflicts will happen or not (or happen at a different time or way) depending of how things develop in e...

BTW, we can salute Jean-Michel Mathé, the designer, for his perseverance as he was almost alone to carry this project for such a long time.

Adlertag

Surely a promising game...10 years ago. Then, if its engine is also of the same age, I wonder if it will be really attracting. Let's see.

Adlertag

If we consider NCP2 will be an improved NCP, as PhilThib said, and therefore will keep its current system and its huge work on historical details, I still think that 7 days turn is a maximum. So the job is focused on how to fit a possibly long campaign to that current system and its inherent limitat...

Don't forget to change your troops to Strategic otherwise they won't load on a normal transport TF mission. Keep them in combat to do an Amphibious Transport move/attack. Also dock your ships in port for faster loading/unloading. The ports tonnage capacity has to to with the amount allowed. Thanks ...
