April Update

Post by StCyr »

If someone feels like being "redundant" or is a playtester and free to post some info about the game or anybody who feels that his EIA-April-input should be in appropriate place.... you are welcome [:)]

Hello all:

We are doing some rewrites on our surrender code and diplomacy code to help streamline these processes. Essentially this minimizes messages in the PBEM game.

No release date yet.

What to do:

Finish diplomacy rewrites.
Finish up testing.
Release.

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you Marshall. This is what we need, this sort of short AAR. So that we can see the progress. THX again.

Awesome. It sounds pretty close, at least not too far. We should have it by the end of the summer. I feel really excited now, which I haven't felt in awhile when it comes to EIA.

Short news, but excellent news [:D] [:D] [:D] (perhaps beacuse they are short: less work each day to release. The short things sometimes are better, isn't it?)

Near to celebration:

Courage and go to for them, that are few and cowards (the bugs), Marshall

I don't even want to imagine what these forums will be like when the game comes out.

I can't wait till someone constructs a scenario for all of the different campaign start points in the EIA manual.

Man, testing can last for months so please all of us (including me) just stay on the ground. Even though tjis era is probably not as popular as WWII I hope these forums will surpass WitP's (my other big love) in number of messages meaning they are buatling with life.

Ursa,
You could always start a 'Thread' in this forum. If you are in WITP a lot, you know what I mean.

When the game comes out, I will be to busy playing to visit the site. I will want to do a campaign with each nation, so free time will be limited.

Negative. I have too many time consuming addictions already. WitP, wife, kids, real life, my own enterprise, university. Not particulary in that order.[:D]
