RE: Realism

<t> First I would like to thank you ... for taking the time and responding to my post.<br/>

RE: Realism

<t> Another problem that affects gameplay ... is that when in Tactical combat... you are unable to move the screen North, South, East, West ... you must wait a few seconds... then try again, and again... and then it finally moves the screen ... however it is very sluggish.<br/>

RE: Realism

<t> A few other problems Im encountering<br/>
<br/>
- The Rebels seem to always have massive amounts of troops. As of mid 1862 I have less forces than they do. I have camps in many cities however none of my armies ever increase in size. <br/>
<br/>

Realism

<t> One problem I need to post. <br/>
<br/>
The game is excellent, however I noticied during Tactical combat the Confederacy has a strong advantage at Normal or Easy level. One example is during a battle I was conducting in Fredricksburg... My forces outnumbered the Confederates almost 2 to 1. I ...

RE: Blockade

<t> I see...<br/>
<br/>
So blockading a enemy port will reduce the European resources sent to The Confederacy... Will it also reduce European support for The Confederacy?<br/>
<br/>
And also ... blockading does not reduce the income and resources generated by The Confederacy?<br/>
<br/>
Thanks ...

Blockade

<t> In the real world... we know blockading Southern ports killed off a large part of the Confederacy, however in Forge of Freedom... whats its effect?<br/>
<br/>
Does it reduce income, labor, horses, iron, etc?<br/>

How many ships is required to execute a full blockade of a port. Can you ...

<t> Thanks for the link... brought back some old memories. <br/>

I just cant believe that no developer or publisher has yet to make a sequel to Liberty or Death. The game was amazing... combining Strategic and Tactical level of gameplay, as well as providing historical education. <br/>

RE: Forge of Freedom

The problem with The Blue and The Grey is that there is no Tactical component in the title. Without a tactical interface and playability... a great deal of the 'fun factor' of the title is lost.

RE: Prices

<t> Matrix games may have high prices for their titles, however they are a indie game developer and publisher. They do not produce mainstream FPS 3rdPS that we commonly see on the market. These titles are produced for 1 - 10 million and these titles are too repetitve and are without ingenuoity. They ...
