<r> In my opinion there is enough change to call it a completely new game, although it is very similar to the original. I am perhaps a bit biased, so don't quote me. <E>:)</E><br/>

I want to be careful with what I say, but a number of things I'd always wanted to have in a Napoleonic computer ...

As I was saying earlier in this thread, I don't want to be putting all my hard earned dollars in a bunch of onlime subscriptions to MMORPG that I may never play, but the feedback from warhammer does sound very intriguing. Never actually ...

I'd like to see a 3d wargame "sandbox" that allows you to set up a table and place terrain and ...

<t> I've played Planetside, EQ2, DDO, EvE, WoW, DAoC, Anarchy Online, Age of Conan, City of Heroes/Villains, WWII Online, and LOTRO, honestly, I found most of them to be boring or a major let down.<br/>
<br/>
City of Heroes grabbed my attention the most, and I'm not a real superhero genre fan. I ...

I pick the withdraw chit on this whole thing.

I'd like to have options, as a player. Let me and my opponent(s) choose which options to use or not use.

So we'll need to each get the backup file and then reload all our setups one after another again?

I can load Russia's and Turkey's setups with the .sav file (we're calling it "firstgame").&nbsp; I already did the initial startup, waited for Russia and Turkey's files to be sent, did my setup, and sent it out.&nbsp; I just can't go back and reload the game, to get past ...

<t> I am in a PBEM game with 6 other players.<br/>

I've done my setup and sent it off. It's now diplomacy phase, but I can't access anything beyond point where I need to setup my forces...again.<br/>

I start the game and from the main menu I load "[thegamename].sav" As it says to do ...

For my first game, post reading the rules, I chose to play GB. The game is currently in the summer of 1809 and GB leads the VP race with FR ...

<r> I'm wanting to play PBEM as well. I've never played the board game, but I read the heck out of the rules years ago.<br/>

I'll stick with a game, even if I am getting my rear end handed to me, because I want to learn how to play it well.<br/>

I am glad the game is finally here.<br ...

Umm, I need to refresh my memory too but isn't the scale different? I seem to remember CoG used a divisional scale as opposed to a brigade scale. I think this would be important in determining what kind of attributes a unit would have. I'm not ...

<t> In both FoF and CoG we have the friction of battle mechanic where a unit will sometimes become confused as to where it is supposed to go and decides to go elsewhere on its own.<br/>

Now, I recognize a real need for this as the player would otherwise have absolute god-like power in ...

<t> I do like the unit upgrades (traits and abilities) in FOF, but a straight port from FoF to CoG2 would be less than desirable.<br/>

Being that FoF is a brigade level game and CoG2 is division level, we're really not comparing the same functions. The upgrades appear to be (in FoF ...

In 1805 scenario a number of French divisions have a 50% or less chance of changing into a line. WTF!<br/>

Sure, we need some friction in the game so the player can't get everything he wants, but come ...

I did use cavalry screens in my multiplayer games by splitting my light cavalry into two groups -- perhaps we could allow cavalry to split into more than 2 groups?<br/>

How about a toggled action ...

I'd like either a scenario where all the starting units, except legendary, have no special traits or add-ons.&nbsp; Either that or a way to get rid of brigade artillery (or any other upgrade) without having to turn the brigade into an artillery unit.&nbsp;
