Will the field of glory released on July 7 use the Pike and Shot system?

Based on Slitherine’s popular tabletop wargaming system by the same name, Field of Glory now comes to the PC in a faithful adaptation of this acclaimed miniatures wargame! Without the calculations and measurements required for a tabletop game of Field of Glory, the PC version accurately represents Ancient and Medieval combat where you make the important and fun decisions on the battlefield. This forum also supports the Rise of Rome, Storm of Arrows and Immortal Fire expansions to Field of Glory.

Post by vaalen »

I would very much like to know if the new Field of glory will use the Pike and Shot system, and if not, how specifically will it be enhanced.

I have the original and a number of the expansions, but I lost interest in them form years, as they were just too simple, and missile fire seemed ineffective.

This question is a make it or break issue as to whether I will return to the game, and order new DLC.

Thanks,

No it is not the Pike & Shot system. It is much more an update of the original FoG. There have been many enhancements though so check it out and see what you think. It will be free if you already own FoG.

Iain, thank you for the information.

I have downloaded the new version and I can see that it has many enhancements, enough to the point that I am excited about it.

It may be an expensive excitement, as I can already see a few battlepacks I want to buy.

I am off to try a few battles and see how it plays.
