WW2: Road to Victory is the first grand strategy release from IQ Software/Wastelands Interactive, which covers World War II in Europe and the Mediterranean. Hex-based and Turn-based, it allows you to choose any combination of Axis, Allied, Neutral, Major or Minor countries to play and gives you full control over production, diplomacy, land, air and naval strategy. Start your campaign in 1939, 1940 or 1941 and see if you can better the results of your historical counterparts. A series of historical events and choices add flavor and strategic options for great replayability.

absence of info

Post by gwgardner »

I think it's incumbent upon the developers/Matrix to provide its loyal customers and forum participants an update on the upgrade plans. We were all given the distinct impression that such an update was forthcoming in March, yet nary a word has been written here in going on four weeks concerning an upgrade.

What gives?

I know, we are little late with the annoucement.
You have waited really long and it's another time we are postponing information about it.

Please, give us a couple more days.
I really deeply belive that all who bought the game will be content

Glad to hear about this myself. I was under the impression that the upcoming update has some major improvements... can't wait to see what it is.

Is this: http://timeofwrath.com/ new game, or also a patch for Road to Victory?!

Looks promising [:D]

Interesting find, IS. The feature list looks almost one to one with RtV. The graphics looks updated and different. But if it is just a patch, why change the title? I'd be curious to learn about it from the developers.

ORIGINAL: Chocolino

But if it is just a patch, why change the title?

Probably of marketing reasons - RtV was very "rough" game when it was first published, and received some (more or less deserved) bad press and comments, and I think doom and his team will try to relaunch it in "new" package [:)]

I`m curious, how does naval module looks after changes - there are no screenshots of it (nor weather effects on the map) [&:]

Time of Wrath [/align]



Welcome everybody.

At the beginning I would like to thank you all for so much support given to us for the last two years. Since that time we have gained a lot of experience and learned much more than we thought we could at the beginning of our adventure with game development. Every time I look back I'm more convinced that it was the best choice in my life. Combining passion with work is the best thing that can happened to somebody's career.

Keeping in mind that producing games requires constant improvement we are happy to announce that we are preparing for our first independent release. World War 2: Time of Wrath is a turn based strategy game made solely by Wastelands Interactive. With this release we have decided to combine simplicity of rules with deep reflection of historical military situation. We have designed World War 2: Time of Wrath in a way that will allow both novice and experienced players to find settings fitting their skills. Player can freely choose difficulty level and countries he will control during the game. Also basing on our own gaming experiences, we have decided that the game should give modders as much freedom as possible, so almost everything in the game can be changed.

We believe that World War 2: Time of Wrath can follow the path of the greatest turn based strategy games series, and assure players that Strategies are Cool!

 
And a screenie;

I welcome changes, but we can keep our copies of WW2:RtV also. I am not a graphics guy, and I have old eyes, so I am making sure I have a display that I can read at zoomed out ranges.
