This all seems rather strange - why have an option in Preferences if the game cannot cope with the setting being changed?

I just assumed lowering LOS setting would result in faster turns, as the game actually advises doing it during turn resolution. So the game is wrong on advising that?

That´s what I thought too, and that´s why I lowerd the setting...

The game(s) defaults to a LOS of 7.500m. So is that the correct setting as default (7.500)? Or should we set it to the mentioned 30.000m, and where did you get that from?

30k would make sence from a elevated view like a plane so yeah, but just curious to know.

Your more then welcome!

One of the main reasons Iam doing these videos is precisely because of that. Same thing happen to me when I first found out about POA2, I then searched but just a couple of videos on YT that didn´t show much at that time.

Glad you found it helpful [;)]

That video is quite a project. Congrats. And already got 65 views.

HPS really needs a marketing manager if they expect to survive, although survive they do. I am the worst when it comes to adapting to change, but business is business. I think they should hire you and Wodin.

Based on this discussion I just purchase TU. I like supporting people developing things like this [:)]

i did find the vids helpful - PoA does interest me more now , but its a toss-up at the moment, as i am also interested in Tacops 4 - do you have Tacops 4 - i would like to see a video of that game too

how many scenarios does PoA have, what is its replay value with scenarios - any randomisation?

[Red2112]

Hi,

Regarding TacOps, I have the demo version and I might do a video later on as there are no videos on YT. I did see a AAR on YT with frame by frame, but that´s about it...

You can always try the demo, but IMHO PoA is in a world to it´s own. Here´s an old Matrix thread...
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1049460&mpage=1&key=tacops􀍴

With regards to PoA2, there´s 12 scenarios which each has 2 versions, a pre-made scenario and a free-setup scenario. The pre-made scenario is as you would imagen, everything is already set-up for you, so you choose which side you want to play and start from there.

The free-setup scenarios you do the the set-up which includes the level setting and other settings that have to do with the game. I can´t speak much with regards to how the free-setup works as I havent touched that part of the game yet, and I would think Wodin would do a better job in explaining how that works, if he so wants to. I will get to free-setup later on, but for now Iam focused on putting out the next PoA2 video that deals with targeting/DF and arty.

Been very busy with work this month but I hope I can put up the next video up by next week.

As for replay value, well in the pre-made scenarios things work the same way most of the time, but as you move on (advance in turns) things do change as the variables change. Also there are multiple ways (tactics) that you can use in the same pre-made scenario, so there´s always a change as the AI will react in a different matter with each situation. I can´t say how the free-setup scenarios replay values is as I havent tried that yet, so sorry I can´t help you ther for now.

thanks for this information 0 very helpful for me on these two games

Why don't you guys take this conversation to HPS' forum? Oh yeah, they are too lame to have a forum. But you could take it to Gamesquad, which has a (very dead) forum for these games.

[rico21]

I agree with you but if Matrix buys HPS, the forum will already be there [:D]

I agree with this too. Matrix is nice enough not to say anything but it´s just not fair for them. I guess it´s ok to give a heads-up to some news regarding other none Matrix related stuff but another thing is having long threads. So yeah please refer to "Gamesquad" for TSS related topics and everybody happy!

Hi all,
Where is it possible to download the latest patch for Tigers Unleashed? I can't seem to find the page on the HPS website...

[rico21]

Hi, alone.

Asid, a player, player maintains the TU patch download page:
TU Patches

It is beyond sad that neither the developer or HPS maintains the patches, and Asid had to pick up the slack.

Another patch was supposed to be released a year ago, but since then, crickets.

[rico21]

Sometimes life is full of surprises [:D]

[Red2112]

I don´t think you guys are looking hard enough. Main page top "Updates" then "Tactical Studies Series"...

TSS Updates and Patches

A new patch is due soon [:)]

[76mm]

For anyone who cares anymore, there is a new beta build available on Asid's thread on dogsofwarvu:
TU beta build

Asid provides updates much quicker than other sources, so you are best to check there first.
