<t> One thing I always take into account with programmers. I will apply here with David also. "His Game, His Rules"! Whatever he does he will do it his way which may be why we see the split from Matrix. Control should always be in the programmers mind since they are the ones pouring blood sweat and ...

I am 100% with you Borner. Also it is somewhat disturbing seeing Marshall state "When / If it does, it will be in a different scenario with counters and maps for EiA." That is bothersome seeing that a port to EiA may not be 100% certain in the future. HMMMM!

<t> lol. Market based input? How will matrix respond to this. Of course though if you do push for this please make them optional and not part of the games main mechanics. Also it would be best to start with an original version of the EiA game for those who only want that along with the scenarios ...

<t> In reality though that is what a wargame is played for. The "Can you do better than Napoleon did?". Wargames to me are designed to give players a chance to rewrite history in their own image knowing full well that history was different. If in reality Austria and Prussia were at odds, then you ...

<t> yes every time I as Austria declare on Bavaria Prussia declares war. In every FtF game I ever played Bavaria was always a non issue and really is within Austrian Realm space of influence. It has happened every time. If you could somehow lower the need for Prussia to declare on this minor it ...

<t> Yep it is probably happening over Bavaria. In FtF games, bavaria was always a given Austria Minor unless France goes after it aggressively which is not often. I also ran it Not DOW on Bavaria as Austria. Prussia never moved on it and it lapsed to France. There needs to be some reclamation of ...

<t> OK to start I started as Austria in all 3 games I tried. In each game first turn Prussia declared war on Austria. Also in all 3 games Napoleon was killed in first combat action. <br/>
<br/>
Conditions were the same in all three games as far as what I did with Austria. Austria was human and all ...

<t> If you choose not to move and are foraging, then there is no maintenance until the eco phase when you pay for counters. The relative way to look at this is you feed your troops, you move your troops, you fight battles. The first two can be looked at in a different order but it is all the same ...

<t> A possibility would also be the diplomacy phase. Since in the FtF game that was the time when people stepped out of the room and discussed terms for surrender or possible alliances, or even just used it as a smoke break. Since the options are check boxed anyway, you could check the boxes at any ...

So Jimmer under that Logic, are we going to have to pay for that version?

<t> pzgndr no matter what you have to have some sort oversite in a project like this. Look at what happens when a company listens to a few people and enacts that, rather than taking what the overall majority wanted and still wants. EiA became EiH because of a few and it was few people made the ...

<t> I frimly believe this is the best thread this board has. It allows the customer the chance to voice their opinion and offer when made some constructive criticism that Matrix should take but I realize they care very little. As we have seen the last week how companies run rampant when they are ...

well never they won't say bad things about the game, but they sure will attack and judge their fellow man. That must make them better than you.

<r> this is the quaote from Erik in the is this game playable thread.<br/>
<br/>
FYI, in this case TCP/IP would have added much more time to the development than PBEM. It's such a major time investment and we've found its usage to be fairly low in other releases, that I doubt it will be feasible ...

if you go by what Erik Rutkins stated in another thread, tcp/ip play is not on the list for anytime in the near future.

<t> I would put that as a big fat NO. If Marshall added lan in a patch there would be a few who would scream because he was "wasting time" on something other than PBEM. That seems to be the largest focus, that and fixing bugs that seem to never end although less than in the beginning. I could see ...

<t> Erik I have a question for you. Why do you keep calling it as adding a classic scenario? Does that mean it will be an 1805 Classic campaign, or just an implamentation of the classic rules? Why not just add the classic rules as rule options and leave it at that. The things that would change and ...

<t> The sad thing neverman is this will not change. If you do not worship what Marshall has done then some people on here will berate you because they think it will hurt Marshall's feelings. If you question the practices of the company Erik will show you the error of youor ways and then place blame ...

The moral to the story is not so great product, Consumers fault for not researching enough. Does that about sum it up?
