Wargamer Preview Part 1 - High Res Pics - Dialup BEWARE!

Post by cdbeck »

Some people were worried/complaining that the pics at the wargamer preview were a little low-res (this is due to picture hosting constraints). I already have these posted on Image shack, so I will post them here at my full resolution. PLEASE NOTE - These pictures belong to the Wargamer.com and Matrix Games and should not be used or duplicated without express permission (well, you can use them personally as a background, I mean in an article or anything).

SoM you mentioned something very important about LE:Immortals not realizing it design goals, which I think hit the nail on the head. Although LEI was a vast improvement of the original, it fell short like you mentioned.

This is what amazes me about Elliot and company, how much it appears that they have come close/realized their design goals. Of course I may be jumping the gun here before release, but it really bears out from your excellent hi res screens.

LOL.
It must be an Ancient Greece Democracy. [:D]

Just look at modern Greece... what a mess. [:'(]

Nice introduction. Very informative, another game with 1000s of options to click and select. He, he, should be fun... just like OpenOffice Calc or M$ Excel! [;)]

Andromeda is the name of the galaxy in the picture.

Whoops, of course. I did actually mean Andromeda since we couldn't see the Milky Way in it's entirety!
