Seeing this brought on a wave of nostalgia, and of playing the Emperor of the Fading Suns video game, which appears to be the source of the graphics. Would be fantastic if Vic could somehow work out a Fading Suns variant of the game, especially as he moves forward with his development plans.

How best to manage new zones? It seems that when I make these they become hotbeds of unrest, even spawning rebels. They become difficult to make happy through QOL improvements since low number of workers production. I have figured out how to colonize, but overall there doesn't seem to be the rate of ...

I can better manage the air-force, at least in terms of moving AOGs forward. Still struggling to dominate the air in a meaningful way. Seemed to lose bombers at a staggering rate, but have ensure that they don't fly unescorted. The Soviets seem to just have an endless supply of aircraft and material ...

There is definitely a lot more to this version of War in the East compared to the first. The panzer ball, headquarters build up made things fairly easy, once you figured it out.

Going to have learn how to pace better. HLYA had a very informative post on his Axis Turn 1 GC with Rovno pocket. I ...

Have figured out how to relocate air groups. But still struggling with proper air force management.

Had fighters brought forward but they failed to escort a ground attack mission, end result two KGs shot up so bad as to be combat ineffective for the rest of the scenario.

Have been learning some ...

I finally had to read the manual...still struggling though, with other aspects of the game.

Have watched a couple of Matteo Bosso videos, his seem to be most informative. Strategy Dojo is more of a streaming personality/entertainment, also seems to ramble.

I'm having a hard time with rail ...

So, picked this up over the Steam summer sale. Have watched a ton of videos, finding some are okay, others seem to run to long and are more so a platform for the video maker to monetize views.

Anyhow, have been gradually figuring out manual air-mode. Can get decent first turn strikes off, this is ...

I have spoken to the developers yes. It seems at first they will plan for tactical side of things because, well, that's the focus of the game and with their budget and manpower all that's realistic for the first volume. They do have plans if ...

Getting close, about a year to go

Anyone remember that old game "emperor of the fading suns"? It was pretty fun I still play it every now and then. I think shadow empire is going to take its place though hehe.

Does the original WITP work properly on windows 10?

Surprisingly yes, I manually added the game to my Steam library, not sure if that is helping with drivers. The only drawback is no screen resizing.

Go ahead and take the plunge. Not only is AE much better but there are some exceptional mods out there. Scenarios, Grand Campaigns, Maps, even improved AI. I doubt you'd be ...

There are no plans to make a new version and I doubt there ever will be. GG himself said he was crazy to ever make the original. The team required also needs to not just be technically competent, but passionate and knowledgeable of the history ...

<t> I'll admit I purchased HOI IV. It can be a "fun" game, but it is borderline hysterical if you read their own marketing on what the game is advertised to be "Authentic real-time war simulation." So sure battleships for Bhutan. I didn't make up what is in quotes it's straight from heartsofiron4 ...

This is fantastic, if you could possible discuss the air base set up in the prior post, it would greatly help those of us getting back into this monster game. This is in reference to Telemecus graphic of the staging principle.

As someone who was just in a similar position as yours not long ago, i may dare to give my two cents.<br/>

1. Never move air groups in the airbase. Always use air transfer to save miles and fatigue.<br/>
2. Use stuka exclusively to ...
