Just a quick question, will more than two armies be able to fight in one battle?

Great work. Now if only I could get the game.

<t>The issue, if you can call it that, with HoI is that it doesn't know what it is. It isn't a pure wargame and it isn't a political/economic one. Its somewhere in between. The problem is that the wargame section isn't that deep, even at a strategic level, while the country control is limited by the ...

This is going to sound lame, but it'd have to be Diplomacy, if you can call that a wargame. Failing that, Empires in Arms. But to be honest that isn't a true wargame ...

Well, I'll take it from the the resounding replies that WiF would be better turnbased then.

I highly doubt this game will be anything like HoI nor should you wait around to hear it will ever be real ...

- Universal release data. Us Europeans don't have to get shafted. It also means imports cost less and prices would hopefully level prices out. I could pay US/European prices for games.<br/>
- Would allow developers greater power(?). No ...

<r><QUOTE author="Firefly"><s>[QUOTE=Firefly]</s>The turn system in UFO doesn't pause and turn turn-based, though, it just pauses so you can issue orders and reverts to real-time when you press 'go'. The nearest thing I've seen is the system used in the Baldur's Gate/Planescape Torment games ...

<r><QUOTE author="Hertston"><s>[QUOTE=Hertston]</s>Now THERE'S a game that could do with a isn't EYSA supposed to operate in a similar way as an option (i.e pausing when "things happen" to change orders etc) ?<e>[/QUOTE]</e></QUOTE>

Its not just the pause option, but the way you can stack up orders ...

<t>I like it. It isn't UFO1 nor XCom, but its a good game in its own right. Yes its simplistic and yes you'll cry that it could've been so much more, but that doesn't mean its bad. I'd liken it to Syndicate.<br/>

It does have a ground breaking element though. IMHO the realtime/turnbased combat ...
