Napoleonic?

Sun Dec 10, 2006 4:32 pm

There are several games in the works or proposed; AACW, Vainflory of Nations, Rise of Rome; but I find it odd that a French developer hasn't jumped on the chance to use their excellent game engine to plan a Napoleonic game. Surely you have thought about it. I think the engine, with many diplomatic additions of course, would make for an excellent game. Has this idea been considered or is AGEOD really a bunch of closet Monarchists? ;)

Yes, Ageod with this game design and engine has really hit something big here. So many time periods can be played using this design.

Speaking of BoA's map design, at first I was actually neutral about my opinion about it because I had never played a game with a map looking like that. But now, I think it's fantastic and actually have problems playing other strategy games with less visually appealing maps. It really looks like you're looking at an old fashioned map. I have a book about the French and Indian War and it includes many maps from that era and the similarity of BoA's map and the book's maps is striking. :coeurs:

This will certainly please Sandra and Robin as this is precisely the effect they wanted to achieve. :cwboy:

I live in Grenoble, the birthplace of Champollion, the man who "translated" the Egyptian hieroglyphs...and part of Bonaparte's 1798 Egyptian expedition... :cwboy:
