Can we preorder already

Marc

Throw us a bone now and then

Marc

Yeah, i got a copy as well.....Great game, some very minor diplomatic issues to be resolved, but nothing that common sense and good play pals would have trouble with.

For me, best Napoleonic game ever so far!

Marc

Why leave them out? Why not make the minors have more or less randomized political ambitions ( and perhaps an historical setting as well )

I know it would make this game longer in the making, but i rather pay more and wait longer for a better game myself

<t>Well i agree with the principles...<br/>
<br/>
Sadly however, often it seems that it is easier for people who have fought eachother in a war to embrace then for people who have a misunderstanding and didn't fight yet. Strangely enough, the human race insists on fighting heavily once every couple ...

<t>Well, to be honest, there where plenty more nations that felt liberated at least for a part. The dutch were happy at the time when the french came, and installed a revoluntionary republic. Then the dtuch revolutionariesmadea mess,a nd Napoleons brother Louis came to the throne in the Netherlands ...

Hi

Well, i think that they should be active. EU gioves us great examples of how minor nation scan be active, and it increases the reality if they are not just dummies waitint to be taken over

Marc

Legal issues. Apparantly Frank could not do a 'strategic nappy game for anyone but a certain comapny, wich did not cooperate with him.

We will never see Frank do a strategic Napoleon game, but he makes excellent games still, see the Adanac site.

Marc

<r>Well, If you think i thought that, then you clearly didn't play Frank Hunter's excellent game <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
It's a free download form Adanac games, you might wanna try it to pass time waiting for this game <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
You'll find that leaders abilities are slowly reveleaded, can ...

<t>It would matter if you could leader stats hidden. You are not sure if you have the right person in the right place then, until he wins or loses battles.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
In the game i referred to, more battel son a leader also revealed his hidden stats more and more, so you would find out who was ...

<t>Hi,<br/>
<br/>
Willthere be an option to have the leader qualities randomized?<br/>
<br/>
An option where you would not know immediatly wich general is huge ( apart from perhaps Napoleon ) and wich is not.<br/>
<br/>
Each Nation could get an average rating for it's leaders based on historical ...

<t>Well, I have been looking forward to a Napoleonic strategy game for a long time.<br/>
<br/>
After Frank Hunter s game got cancelled by legal matters, i was pretty dissapointed.<br/>
<br/>
Can't wait to get my hand son this one!<br/>
<br/>
Hopefully we get a chance to betatest the game. I know ...

Heck, i would pay double to get into playtest and be able to make the best thing possible!!!


Marc

Great news....the look of the maps is somewhat familiar though? Same map artist as the last outing?

Hope this one makes it...a good strategic napoleonic game is long overdue!!!

marc

<t>Hi<br/>
<br/>
Eu 's release date is set in oktober, but it will just be an scandanavian/German release for now. They are still looking for a American distributor...<br/>
<br/>
As for Pax Brittanica, I love that game. However, I f i can get matrix to do a computer colonial strategy games, i would ...

<r>Well, We'll use that one next time <IMG src="http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/smile.gif"><s>[img]</s><URL url="http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/smile.gif">http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/smile.gif</URL><e>[/img]</e></IMG><br/>
<br/>
Jim, can you subscribe to the egroups adress in the log? Then we can ...

If you are interested in the earlier european wars....Europa Universalis!!!!

Great game..and they still seek an american publisher!!!

Marc, the Dutch guy

<r>I was also thinking of a game in two levels....although slightly differnt....I was thinking of a strategic game in the Colonial era, in wich you would fight the battles on an operational level.<br/>
<br/>
The colonial era is perfect for a strategic game, and by inserting really well done battles ...

<r>Well, i am game as well.....although I still think the whole thing needs more refining, to prevent it ending up as a monstrosity, it is something that might work.<br/>
<br/>
Well, Matrix guys, do you think it is a good idea? and if so will we get a special room to continue the discussion?<br ...

<r>Hi,<br/>
<br/>
Although this is a very interesting idea, i doubt that having a few hundred gamers combine their wishes will result in good game. Probably it will end up a monster of a game, ranging from roman times to space opera warfare and from single soldier scale to movement of armies <IMG ...
