<t>Well with todays tech I estimate i could make the internet multiplayer game work for about 3 or 4 dollars a head per month(gotta pay the bills, if not I could do it for free). <br/>
<br/>
civ 3 is nice but not quite there yet. <br/>
<br/>
Oh well. i guess i will have to keep buying what is out ...

<t>Did we even decide on a type of game. We have to figure out the game first. <br/>
<br/>
I think we should each make a description. Post it on various discussion boards then run a poll the winner gets created. <br/>
<br/>
After we have a game we elect a project lead. His word is gold. He will then ...

<t>yes and no. There is close combat series from microsoft that is a RTS style game. Although some of the campaigns can get very boring. <br/>
<br/>
As for a strategic level WW2 game. Well nothing like that exists anymore. Especially not an online version. Now if you are looking at just an ...

<t>Personally If you are looking for easy coding I am thinking square grid based as opposed to hex based. computers first off are easy to code with grids. one up, two left. <br/>
<br/>
Did anyone get the bulletin board up for the descussion? <br/>
<br/>
I am I still in the group?<br/>
<br/>
will ...

I think Jeffery has a good point. Maybe try something small then move up to something larger.

Also for the real game lets go with a non-hex based. what do you guys think? Personally I think it owuld be easier and more realistic to porgram in X-Y then in hexs.

<t>I think he is right. Hexs are left overs. idealy lines actuall intermingle with each other in real war. So here is an Idea grid like game play were you plot the center point of the unit or the shape of the unit. Then the further it goes out form that center point the less control over that point ...

<t>Tried Clash of Steel<br/>
I got bogged down in Russia and was unable to gain anyground after the first two months. <br/>
<br/>
I was thinking more along the lines of Shadow President. Ever play that? Great game but needs a speed up or jump to next event button. <br/>
<br/>
More Depth then "Third ...

I have made board games (personal use)and I currently program for a living. i pretty good with sketching out concepts and flow charts. I am really good with VB so I don't know how much programming use I can be if you end up doing this in C++.

<r>I have programming experience. Albeit all business applications. I have made my own board games and I have worked out logic flow charts for various things including A.I. <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
So where do we begin and what is the concept. Email me at <EMAIL email="Danscan@danscan.net">Danscan@danscan ...

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s> Granted its not quite playing a specifically 20th Century earth geopolitical economicalmilitary game. But then again I dont ever expect to see anyone waste there energies making that game either. <HR>[hr]</HR><e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

Maybe thats the problem. Perhaps if there ...

<t>I have always been fascinated with Poltics and world wide warfare(not the same as world war). I have not seen a game that does this effectively in a long time. HiCom if you remeber that one was pretty good but you could exploit it. Another one was Civ2 but that lacked the military aspect ...

<t>The patton is not available for the campaign that comes with the game. Only the pershing luckaly I remebered from past SP games that the pershing was only slightly better then the sherman so i lookied for some german tanks. I had ten pershings in the begining of the battle. four tigers and two ...

<t>Can I take out the rarity thing so that I can have more then that? Making a fictious campaign in which a seprate peace is made with western alliance and the germans hold off the Russians long enough for a summer offensive in 1945. <br/>
<br/>
Also can I create other units to be edited? like a new ...

where is the maus located in the scenario editor. I could not find out how to load the maus.


Thanks
