Warning: AGEod is about to release two new games!!!

[Korrigan]

I did it! It is rumored that he who can pass the first level of Tornado can live eternally...

What was your strategy for the Tornado? I usualy try to place a whirlwind chainer combined with a chaos fountain at the entry and I finish off the survivors with Dragon Sting/Wicked Hands.

Please enlighten me High master...

ummm, HUH?
I really wish you'd stick to English in the English language forum...

[Korrigan]

Hum... yeah, sorry.

I will stop to hijack my own thread ASAP and I'll continue this conversation in the newly opened "Wicked defense" forum...

I start with an upgraded Dragon Sting, and pray that the first wave is not of these pesky monsters that clones into subvariants 4 time in a raw.

[DON]

An English demo for Montjoie is out now.

[Le Ricain]

Ooooh tantalising!!

I am guessing the Hundred Year War

*squeezes eyes shut and dreams happy thoughts of Jehanne d'Arc*

As for 3d, well we shall have to see. the 2d engine is fine enough as it is. Many of the good stuff has been forced to go 3d with mixed effect.

Will be optimistic though.

Ayeshteni,

You will be please to note that the English version of the game is nicknamed "Joan of Arc". The French version is nicknamed "La Guerre de Cent Ans". They must have changed the name with you in mind.

[color="Blue"]EDIT by Korrigan: The game will be released in a couple of weeks, by then everything will have been translated. Arsan successfully find the name and the website before, but we are still working on it, don't worry. :[/color]:

There is an English/US flag you can click, something for the mono linguistic.

I can't help but think of Les Visiteurs when I see this title .

[Rafiki]

Checking out the Montjoie demo now; looks promising and even suitable for a nice evening of multiplayer gaming*

Any idea about what the games will cost

* I hope I'm right when I think it's "simultanous" online multiplayer?

[Gertbeef]

I really like the art-style of that Montjoie game. It looks like 3d art for a boardgame-style game done right. I'll definitely have to give the demo a try for that. I know very little about the 100 Years War and this seems like a very good excuse to read up on it!

As for the Wicked Defense, I've never played any of those Tower Defense games. I'm not sure it's my cup of tea, but good to see you guys expanding out and I hope it works out well.

[marcusjm]

Wow. This is one of the best looking boardgame adaptions I have seen. It looks and feels stunning. Fantastic.

Maybe they should aim for XBOX Arcade .

[type7]

Played the demo Montjoie scenario, it is quite a fun little game. Took me 3 or 4 turns to figure out what was going on and by then it was too late, I lost all 3 cities and England won leure:

I'll definitely give it another go and will consider purchasing.

[Fouche]

Where is the english demo link for this game?
I see on the main page...french version listed...could the demo that is listed on the order page be the English one? I would think not..but...

Merci....

This sucks, it's a French website that I can't read ... it's like those French have a different word for everything. However, the screenshots looked interesting.

Click on the US/UK flag in the upper right corner of the site. All will be revealed . . . in English.

[Queeg]

Played the tutorial in the Montjoie demo tonight and was very impressed. It reminds me of the boardgames I used to play growing up, and also a bit like the old Castles game for the PC. It looks great and seems fun and challanging without requiring too much heavy lifting. Seems like it would be nice break from some of the more complex games I usually find myself playing.

I think I'm a buyer on this one. Thanks to AGEOD for publicizing it.

EDIT: Any more definite word on when this will be released? I'm ready now.

[PhilThib]

We are waiting from some English translation work on Montjoie Encyclopedia which is late...hope to recover final works early next week, release should follow very soon after

[runyan99]

I also scratched the surface on Montjoie and was intrigued. I need to spend more time with the demo.

[Elmo]

What format is the multiplayer support for Montjoie? PBEM or LAN or both? Thanks.

[pailleterie]

when will we have some news and perhaps some screenshots about the new game for 3Q of 2008?

[Fouche]

Multi-player games can be played via a local network or via Internet.
After downloading the demo I have been having some fun fooling with the game....

Where is the demo ??

[Rafiki]

Montjoie Demo: http://www.montjoiegame.com/en_downloads.php

Not sure if there's a demo for Wicked Defense?

[Johnnie]

Rafiki:

Thank you.

J'ai testé la démo de Montjoie!, le jeu est très plaisant !

Je ne connais le plateau original que de réputation, et j'avoue être agréablement surpris par son portage informatique. La simulation de la guerre de Cent Ans est bien rendue, le côté diplomatique doit permettre d'offrir de mémorables parties en groupe !

Le scénario historique avec la France contre Angleterre et Flandes alliés me parait difficile, mais le scénario libre avec la Navarre semble plutôt mieux équilibré.

-
Au rayon des bugs, j'ai rencontré (mais pas toujours) un problème de sauvegardes corrompues qui m'ont empêché de les relancer sans planter le jeu.
En revanche, les sauvegardes automatiques ont l'air de très bien fonctioner

J'ai aussi essayé - par inadvertance - de passer le jeu en une résolution supérieure à celles supportées par mon écran : il m'a été impossible de revenir en arrière sans réinstaller la démo.
Je n'ai vu qu'ensuite qu'il y avait un raccourci de dépannage dans le menu démarrer à ce sujet, mais pas dans le dossier du jeu...

-
Au final, je pense que je ferai l'acquisition de ce jeu. Une idée de la date de sa sortie ou de son prix ?


Il faudrait également lui ouvrir son petit sous-forum, je n'en ai pas trouvé sur le site officiel.

Yeah, okay, y'all just keep on a-talking and I'll just keep on a-nodding my head like I can understand you.

I think the "démo de Montjoie!" followed by a smiley-face means he likes it.

[Bruit Bleu]

Since this forum is not "english-only", I posted in french. Moreover, developpers and editors are French, and what I wrote was at first for them.

But as I see there is some interest, here is the short translation I was too lazy to write in my first post :

I tested the demo of Montjoie! and found it very nice.

I don't know the original boardgame but it appears to be a good simulation of the 100-years war.
The diplomatic aspect may offer very sweet multiplayer sessions !

The historic scenario with France versus allied England & Flanders is hard for me, but the other one with Navarre is better balanced.

**

About bugs, I had some crashing corrupted savegames, but autosaves seemed fine.

I also changed the in-game screen resolution for a bigger than my computer could handle, and was not able to reverse it without reinstallation.
I later discovered a Start Menu shortcut about it, so...

**

I will certainly buy this game. An idea about a date or a price ?

I don't feel confortable to express ideas with it. Meanings aren't the same, especially as I lack of grammar, vocabulary & co...[/size]

[SpyralPegacyon]

Montjoie looks intriguing, if only the demo would download faster.

But... Vainglory of Nations in 2009? Here I was hoping we'd have it this year. Rats.
