RE: Not to be too critical but....

Murat,

No worries about your english. I apprecaite the assistance. Unfortunately I dont think getting reduced leaders at a lower cost makes it better. I am still having difficulty getting past the scripted nature of the game with very limited "what if" possibilities.

What an impressive game!!!

<t> I just bought the game and have been "learning" how to fly, then combat, etc. I tried the campaign to see what theat was like and it seems very intense with some many options, etc. I can see that there is a steep learning curve but looking forward to it. <br/> <br/> The graphics are wonderful as...

RE: Not to be too critical but....

Okay, looks like the file to edit is leader.txt and leader_eng.txt. Not sure what the difference is, perhaps Johan can tell us????

Hmm, I also noticed that some generals dont appear to have a cost.

RE: Not to be too critical but....

<t> Iain,<br/> <br/> Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, and as I stated not being too critical, for me it makes the game a historical reenactment, one in which I know the ending without it would seem a lot of variation. <br/> I still would like to know the justification for England keeping...

Not to be too critical but....

<t> Okay, I have some observations and feedback regarding the game.<br/> <br/> 1. It seems too scripted. You begin already at war with Poland, France and England. Both the Soviets and the US join the war at predetermined points. Its pretty much a foregone conclusion at that point. It’s like letting ...

RE: history or not history, that is the question

<t> In my humble opinion, what I believe people want is a historcal simulator with options and not a reenactment. With that said, creating a simulation of any war is a daunting task with all the possible variables. As I posted in another thread, creating a simulation of a battle is fairly simple sin...
