<t> Super excited about Shadow Empire. Obviously is starts out single planet and WW2 Tech level....but I'd love to see a version that tech's up to science fiction level.<br/>
<br/>
Vic perhaps as an intermediate step to that, perhaps you could consider providing some sort of linked campaign in ...

<t> Never played GD but as someone that has done a bit of scenario design I can say with a fair bit of confidence that there is no way any game or any scenario can prevent, what might be envisioned by the designer or players, as "gamey/exploitative" behavior. That can be frustrating for the designer ...

Really nice job. I think you have a real winner on your hands. I'm sure you'll get player interest in this.

<r> I don't own the game yet, though I am interested in it..... lots of different demands on my limited gaming time <E>;)</E>...... quick question is it possible to proceed through the campaign (though obviously at a strong penalty) even if the player fails the primary objectives? (don't know how ...

<t> What you would do is create a class of ships, say the Bismark Class, and that is the name of the SFT (Sub-Formation Type) you would create in the editor. Then you could create a UNIT which you named "The Bismark" in the editor and place 1 Bismark Class SFT in that unit. Then you could create a ...

<t> Actually now I'm kind of curious. I haven't picked up BaB, though I likely will at some point.... my gaming calender is pretty crowded these days..... but how are Forge of Freedom and Crown of Glory? I've always enjoyed games that had strategic and tactical levels in the same game, especially if ...

<r> It's in a state that I pretty much would expect for an early access game. It's not broken. It's fully playable and it can provide some fun in a beer and pretzels kinda way. I don't regret my purchase. Price wise, I feel $25 was reasonable for what it delivered. I only played a few hours, but ...

<t> I was really looking forward to this one as well, but after purchase I'm rather underwhelmed. It has some promise, but at this point I'd say it's rather weak. <br/>
<br/>
- I felt the tactical game was the most fun aspect of it. However, the A.I. does a very poor job at putting up a fight.<br ...

<t> Can you explain exactly what steps I would need to take in order to purchase through Matrix and get early access installed through Steam and then switch to a non-Steam DRM free version when final release comes out?<br/>
<br/>
I'm sure this is probably a dumb question but I've never installed a ...

<t> So it always fires at the closest, you can't direct fire at another target that might be a little more distant but more important?<br/>
<br/>
If so that would seem to be a bit of a weakness (IMO). I get that if an artillery unit felt "threatened" it would always automatically act out of self ...

<t> If the unit is an "air" type unit, then ATG will only let it move from airbase to airbase (or city). The way you could get around that (I think) is to make an SFT for the launcher as a ground based unit and then create an action card which places the missile SFT in the launchers hex when the ...

Also if the unit has taken disorganization due to combat in the previous turn it can start with less then 100 AP's.

<t> I'm looking for an Axis opponent to help playtest the latest version of ETO that I just uploaded to the scenario bank. I'd prefer to play the Allies since the majority of the tweaks I made were on that side and it'd be easier for me to see how they are working by playing them. Probably have a ...

<t> Added a new version to the scenario bank with quite a bit of bug fixing and balance tweaks based on my latest play testing. The following changes are made in this version (EuropsGv1I2):<br/>
<br/>
Bug Fixes:<br/>
<br/>
- Fixed Alpine Infantry III so that it casn be produced/upgraded<br ...

<t> My thoughts....<br/>
<br/>
1) VP system - Really the only way, I'm going to be able to enjoy WitW (multi-player or single-player) is by completely ignoring it and judge how well I did by where the game ends. The VP system sort of takes the player out of the role of Commander and into the role ...

I like the landscape one myself.

<t> For new landscape types, probably the easiest way to start is <br/>
<br/>
1) Make a copy of the existing ones.... assign it a new name, graphics, etc. in the LT section of the editor. <br/>
<br/>
2) Then you want to go into the movement type section and edit the movement points for that ...

<t> Warspite, to put it bluntly. The VP system as it stands (if you actually pay attention to it rather then ignore it) essentially scripts the players strategy (or significant portions of it) for them.... removing agency and freedom of action from the player. Rather then saying "Do X and it will ...

grumpy mel does make one good point in that post. it would be interesting to have a different (dare I say random?) set of strategic bombing objectives given the WA (and unknown to the axis side) at the start of each game, possibly changed ...

<br/>
It's certainly a fair call to say the VP system is working as designed....and I totally get the idea of not wanting to scrap a major system in a design that is already released. That's also a fair call. If the goal was to reflect the frustrations of the Allied Commanders ...
