Feature query on ToS II

To Larkin, or anyone else on the Dev team:

Will ToS WS have the ability to save the battle and let it be 'played back' later? It would let anyone who has the battle 'video' file see the stats on titans in that battle at a particular time and see the skill checks etc that each participant went through. This would let everyone see/verify what happened in a battle and help back up 'brag stories' :)

There isn't a video file you can make of the game.

Screenshots can be created at specific moments that may help your arguments. But I've found that most players are very honest about what occurs in a game.

There will be 9 save game slots so you can save your battles any time during your turn.

video files could actually be pretty handy for teaching noobs. rather than the vet telling the noob what to do step by step, he oculd just give him a video file, and have the noob watch the file. could save time.

Thats a good idea. You could also watch others styles of play and the tournaments could be recorded.

To help teach noobs and others, we've included a very informative and fun tutorial created by Marga.

Adding saved game replays would be nice -
but is far down my list as other topics are much more important - sorry.

Yeah, just look at Warcraft 3 adn what the replays have done for that game, and getting strategies around! It's been a HUGE asset.

But yes, I'd rather have a lot of other (more important) features first.

Any word on a release date (ballpark?), or cost? ($35 or so?)
