Kickstarter?

<t> It's been a while since I have checked the forums for an update on MWIF. I'm glad to see it's progressing, but am curious if a Kickstarter campaign was/is considered to help with coding manpower? It's been a huge job, and I can't wait for release. I would easily pay $50 to help kickstart if it m...

Question regarding fleets in the game

<t> I was wondering how the computer was going to handle this situation-<br/> <br/> Spain and Turkey at war with Britain. Both have a fleet in Cadiz. They did not declare combined movement. Britain has a fleet in the Blockade box. Britain seiges and takes Cadiz. Do the Turkish and Spanish fleets sai...

Server questions, tcp/ip play

<t>I was wondering if it was possible, for those interested in tcp/ip play to offer a patch for download, rather than delay shipping. <br/> <br/> Is Matrix going to have a server database once the game goes gold so people who purchase it can find servers to play on? Or, will it be up to the individu...

<t>The port gun issue is one of my standard beefs lol. The guys I play with all agree that there must be a presence inside the city itself, so a corps in the same territory doesn't cut it. No idea if the PC game will reflect it though.<br/> <br/> I do know that Harry Rowland, 1/2 of the creative for...

<t>Assault,<br/> <br/> To be honest, I can see your situations ending the same as a board game. The losers would bail and the game would start over lol.<br/> <br/> I like the increased VP idea as an option, especially since in many FtF games I have played most everyone has an idea by 1813 who stands...

<t>Repo, I like you idea about being able to send your order in and having the server automatically update everything after a set time. That would be a good way to counter slow players. Snooze and lose lol. As a bonus, it seems to me that it could easily be ported to handling a standard PBEM EiA gam...

"I guess I see the initiative system as another relic, if anything worse than the supply one. Certainly it gives England and France a necessary edge but couldn’t this effect be achieved by some other mechanism more appropriate to the computer? "

<t>Hi,<br/> <br/> In reply...<br/> <br/> "That is exactly why I think simultaneous movement would be faster! Unless everyone can be on line at the same time, you are stuck doing one player's turn per day (assuming one "input" per day) or as you say, an impasse. "<br/> <br/> **How do you propose to r...

<t>Hi,<br/> <br/> To respond (sorry, it's long lol)-<br/> <br/> "The traditional sequential moves would only work for face-to-face, hotseat, or when players are logged on to a LAN or server simultaneously.

<r>A response! <E>:)</E> <br/> <br/> But seriously, if you look at my original post, I said that the "option" to turn simultaneous movement off (only in multiplayer mode mind you) would be nice. That way, if a group wants to play EiA as it was originally created they would be able to do so. Plus, th...

What would you like to see in this game?

<t>I was curious what everyone in the forum would like to see in the PC version of EiA. <br/> <br/> I would like to see;<br/> <br/> The option to remove simultaneous movement server-side in multiplayer mode, so if admins and players wish to run a standard multiplayer EiA game they may do so.<br/> <b...

<t>Thanks for such a quick reply! I have to admit it's nice to know a company actually takes the time to reply to these threads.<br/> <br/> I was thinking about the movement issue at work today, and the whole issue of playability vs. how close to the actual board game will be followed. I think in si...

<t>Marshall,<br/> <br/> If the PC game follows the board game, if players moves are simultaneous how do you guys plan on incorporating that with nations that declare combined movement? Will there be some sort of "precedence" in the simultaneous moves, or will the power to declare combined movement b...

Congrats!...and questions

<r>Hi,<br/> <br/> First, I want to say thanks to Harry and Matrix for going the distance on this and turning EiA into a PC game. It has always been one of my favorite games (second only to WiF).<br/> <br/> Unfortunately, it has also been my greatest love/hate game relationship regarding rules interp...
