<t> Again I agree that PCO should fit the right mould - at least that's what I've been telling myself since Winter Storm. "Simple" rule- based game mechanics, WEGO playing style, continous time and 3D environment should please most people. <br/>
<br/>
Actually, I'd think PCO would be an OK game if ...

But this is a game about how well the AI plays.<br/>

I couldn't agree more. The less abstracted the visual, the more refined the AI needs to be. If the AI does something stupid, you will notice it ...

Whoa, now THAT's a forest.

Thank you very big

Well... Can you post a pic with lighting so we can compare with your AAR?

<t> We’re allowed to dream of the future, right? I have been waiting for the release of the map maker since Stridor starting his wandswinging a long time ago, and while waiting for the patch to be released, I seem to have had a lot of time left to dream of things to come. Here are a couple of ideas ...

Sounds good. I think a lot of people wants this.

Thanks for the reply. I just have to wait then...

Be patient.. Have faith...

<t> I'd like to ask a question about something Zemke_4 originally mentioned in the CM Vs PCO thread. He called it the need for "fuzzy orders" or "uncertainty of command and control" to better simulate real situations. If I should describe it I would say "friendly AI" or "reactional AI": The way your ...

Just use the time necessary to do it right. There has been a lot of new releases lately to keep us busy, anyway.

<r> Agree, impressive stuff.<br/>

But I couldn't help but smile at the post dated april 6th, 2007, declaring "The next expansion of Panzer Command is almost complete".<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
Hrm, april 2007?? If they have been refining the game since then it must be as ...

<t> Excellent thread!<br/>
<br/>
Now, all we need is a game capable of modelling stuff like that!<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
We all know that is a mighty task. Not only should the IA be capable of modelling sane, rational, order - abiding troops, but also confused, misled and downright stupid ...

<t> Hi All, my take on what I really want improved in the Kharkov expansion<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
- Friendly AI. Big time. What's the point in having all the formalities right (like section size, equipment, graphics, etc, etc)&nbsp;if your units behave like boneheads?&nbsp;For instance, moving ...

<t> Eric, <br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
- and I thank YOU for a very detailed answer. Sorry for writing that long, but that game made a big impact...<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
And I still think making orders&nbsp;too detailed is a wrong path to take. Recon units, for instance, should by themselves avoid firefights ...

<t> Hi guys,<br/>
<br/>
I've been lurking around in here since I bought PC-OWS a couple of weeeks ago, and I have to tell you this: <br/>
<br/>
Dudes, you're not getting the point! <br/>
<br/>
Everybody talks about waypoints and using cover to move units, and that is irrelevant. What this game ...
