Announcement from the development team!

Post by Marshall Ellis »

Hello all:

Just a quick update!

We're in the final stages of testing and have a few graphical touch-ups to do then we'll be ready. I'm telling you this because I feel that our release is very close! I cannot tell you in terms of days but our testing is actually ramping down a bit. We're finishing our PBEM testing as we speak.

I'm excited that our journey is closing...

More news to follow SOON!

Thank you
Thank you

Thanks Marshall. I'm still anxiously awaiting this release as well. Seems all the games I want are in production or have been in production so long I've given up on them. Hope everything turns out great.
WE/I WANT 1:1 or something even 1:2 death animations in the KOIOS PANZER COMMAND SERIES don't forget Erik! ;) and Floating Paratroopers We grew up with Minor, Marginal and Decisive victories why rock the boat with Marginal, Decisive and Legendary?

Since release of EiA appears imminent, what are the chances that the manual could be made available for everyone to see?  I'd like to be as fully prepared as possible, befor the game is released.
 
Thanks,

"Soon". It's such a relative term, eh? [8|]

Great news, I am thrilled that we are now speaking in terms of days ^_^
I am going to make myself a gift list for x-mas now putting cEIA on top of the list.

Great news. It's been a long wait. I've had fun with Crown of Glory in the meanwhile, but I prefer EiA and am looking forward to it, as I have been lo these many years.

Not to be an impatient goon, but in a few days, the "any day now" pronouncement of the release of EiA will turn into a week.  Then the announcement might read "any week now": days cannot be used.  :)
 
Seriously though, I can wait as long as the next person, but it's not the brightest idea to claim "any day" unless it's an absolute. 
 
But how about another update-- a comment about the possiblity of an early manual release and some newer screenshots while we wait?  We've waited this long, a little more of a wait, though discouraging, is not going to do us any harm.
 
 
Thanks,

Wow, it's actually going to be released before we finish our current EiA game! That means we can play MEiA concurrently with over-the-board WiF.

Whilst ruminating on the length of time this game has taken in its development, I realised
that this length of time exceeds any one of Napoleon's campaigns bar the peninsular war.

Thus causing me to ponder the saying "It is harder to build than destroy".

Surely there is a lesson in there for all of us

Somewhere

I think.

Damn Ive gone senile with waiting. :-(
