Hi there, what do you guys think ? will the "new engine" be a real 2.0 or rather a 1.1 ?
Discussion's open !

hmmm .... Did the devs released some information about the new engine ? Or nothing at all has been made public ?

Definitively a 2.0, all brand new!

What a great news!
September?... October?

Cool !!!

Probably in late September, we have our annual convention 'Hall of Wargamers 2018' in mid-September, then I believe the communiqué will be issued.

So, just rapid 15 - 25 days
It is not a big deal, gentlemen, hooray!!!
For sure I will be one the first buyer as a brand Ambassador

Hi Pocus!
Is there any news?
When you`ll give us some new details about the brand new game / engine?
The facts are already known :
- "arrows era";
- "a lot of economical & political stuff - the second after PON in this style"
- "release in 2019"

Crossing my fingers heavily for a Pax Romana II

It might not be - "arrows era". Pocus said - "there will be arrows"

but it might be that there will be some gunpowder as well ( like north america in 1700...)


for me the big question is not when but where - so not about Era but about Location

i guess Ageod might try to enter asian market - so maybe "Romance of Three Kingdoms" - chinease history....

Ageod engine is perfect, just a bit slow but what about real ingame tuto 2.0 for new players who can't read thousands of manual pages in english only ?

One of the first post about new game mentioned about "... before powder era", so we may tell about "arrows era"
Agree "Where" is important too! My suggestion - ROME is "when & where" answer.

are you sure that it was "before powder era"?

whell, i would love a great game about strugle for dominane in mediterenan 280-180 BC

but it seems there is some competition now with Agressors Ancient Rome Title....

Not me, but Pocus

Pocus wrote:The first game won't have gunpowder. And that's an information. Now I don't read the future and probably all subjects can be considered for games to follow the first.

But at the moment Pocus keep silence and tell us nothing
My dream is medieval Era (1100- 1400 AC). There is a gap in AGEod`s games timeline exactly here.
But it will be Rome (just my feeling )

I am sure it will be a real great Game anyway!!

Agree SMikh!

Sorry, the forum was down when I wanted to update you on that. The announcement is delayed a bit, for various reasons I can't discuss, but it does not in anyway postpone the game schedule and release date.

I can't tell you more about the topic, sorry. To atone for my mistake of having you waiting for the official announcement, I'll say a few more things on the game format: WEGO turn based, with regions. Like the previous AGEOD games.

Thanks POCUS, you do what you can... My bet would then be a game based in antiquity, sort of AJE2 but with the possibility of also playing hellenic times.

Pocus, thanks for this feedback! I understand you can`t tell us more.
That`s reasonable and clear. The most important that you're up to schedule with the game release.
And I hope your team will have enough time to finish this project on time and in a good shape

Kind regards,
Sergey

keeping my fingers crossed

i hope new game wont be to arcade though, i like being nerd and history geek

Well given that among our few alpha testers we have Altaris (maker of To End all Wars) and Loki101 (who did some awesome AAR on PON) and that they enjoy the game, it should be ok, even for grognards.

I've been enjoying it too! Most fun since WIA development!

Are there new ideas like replacements of different experience level just f.e?
Will it be old AGEOD but with new paint? The old gameplay is getting somewhat old because the engine quirks which have been there since the ancient versions of the engine.
WOS is the greatest game yet by you guys but it looks abandoned sadly. I tried to look at modding but there doesn't seem to be a guide?

I am not encouraged. This is taking too long.

Well, it is a new engine.

sound good to my ears

Neither am I, but let's see. If even if I am not encouraged, the fact that I still come here almost 3 years after WON was released speaks volume about my secret hope for a great game.

I do hope it is moddable

Since its based on the same underlying game engine as Field of Glory 2, you might find this re-assuring:
