New WiP 2 ?

Post by Czert3 »

What do you think, It will be a new game WiP 2 or not ? With new enhancements like free building of new units as e.q. in HoI and others tweaks not posible in current WiP.

If there is, it will be a separate product.  Not a free upgrade.  But I wouldn't exactly hold your breath.

I thing if it will be a new game with new scenario (chinese campaign in 1938?) and few new features and if will be sold at half price of original game (similiar to HoI2 and HoI2 DD), then this approach can bring up lots of new players to this game. I not sure with numbers, but I thing DD have cca 60% of original sales of HoI2 and still increasing and before end of year, sales of DD can exces sales of HoI2. And lots of players have booth HoI2 and DD (including me).

And HoI is infinitely less complicated, not to mention balanced on a knife edge, than WitP. The two games can't be compared at all...

At least an expansion with some tweaks and improvements seems reasonable to me. This game has still lots of players. The community is one of the most active on Matrix forums. IMHO it would be a commercial mistake to let this game fade away.

No doubts about that, but I think it's better to take care of this game, then create vol. 2 [:)]

I think GG and crew read Shattered Sword with all the emphesis on elevator cycle times and said "We can model that!@!" Now the Zero bonus will include faster folding wings[:D][:D]

Well I don't think it's weird particularly. Many people have expressed a desire for more control over carrier ops. Carrier Strike (or whatever it was exactly called) looked like it did that when I played around with it.

I do somewhat dread to think what might come of mixing the two re-hashed and ancient code bases though [;)]

WWII all world strategy with use of WitP system would be my choice.

Only if some staff officers and a personal adjutant are included. Imagine how long it would take to set up turn 1...
