Matrix Games Forums

We will be releasing Napoleon's Campaigns here as well as we did with BOA and AACW, but there will likely be a delay as we are still working out the production details.

That is good news Erik, I was confident that AGEOD and Matrix would continue their partnership. It is a great match!

Thanks Erik for the reply. Will it be available in time for christmas?.....

Cool!!

Bill Trotter over at wargamer have put up an almost embarrassingly glowing review of NC.

Congrats to agoed on what looks like yet another winner. Stunning track record.

Anyhow, maybe Erik can give us an estimate for Matrix distribution. No rush here, just bought AT last week...but I like to plan ahead. For some reason I can never successfully buy through ageod's other distributors, something to do with my bank (although I think it is some Matrix conspiracy)

Immersion... a so evasive concept [:D]
We never wanted to add a tactical engine into our games. This detract from the other focus, which is acting at the strategical and operationnal level. This also mean for the dev team to pour a good amount of resources to make even an average tac engine, so less AI coding time and less sophisticated map, OOBs, events and chrome rules. No, we prefer to focus on one thing and do it right! [:'(]

Is that what you did when you were programming "PAX ROMANA" POCUS?

Once again, you're wrong.

pocus never programmed Pax Romana. Another team was in charge of this one.

Bad try. [:-]

If I had programmed Pax Romana, it will be first turn-based [:'(] and second you would have gotten the necessary patches for it...

Did anyone notice that focus ryhmes w/Pocus?

Many new war games try to do everything to appeal to a broad spectrum of players, but these games end up appealing to no one because you can't get in all to work in the same box.

WEGO w/operational control and maybe a running (battle) commentary would be welcomed as AGEOD's "Battle Meter" does leave something to be desired. Otherwise, don't mess w/success.

I can't remember a single game that I have enjoyed that has both strategic and tactical combat. I think it could be done, but you would need a lot of time and money and the right developers to pull it off. (Somebody like Pocus working for Microsoft without interference - well if I win the lottery ....).

Cheers, Chris

Conquest of the New World and Imperialism were excellent games that did both.

Any news yet as to when NC will be available? Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat.

Any update on this, Erik? Might we hope for still another "Christmas present"?
