COG2 features

[Spechtmeise]

I have recently re-discovered CoG and love playing it. In the forums I have read a lot about an upcoming expansion. How would the expansion be different from the original game? Would somebody kindly sum up the main features? Thanks.

Well, the plan is to incorparate some features from FoF into CoG as well as introducing detailed naval battles. But you will have to wait for more details as the expansion will not be released until summer, probably even later.

The areas we'd like to address are:

1) Adding detailed naval combat
2) Modifying the strategic map
3) Adding historical events
4) Adding a simpler-economy mode
5) Tweaking the AI to give it more historical flavor

There are a handful of little interface improvements I hope we have time to make. There are also a few specific rules I'd like to modify / implement, such as making passage through Switzerland and Lapland much harder to do, and to put harder limits on the overall number of units. I'd also like to add "special abilities" (as we have for the units in FOF) to units if we have time.

Sounds promising. I'm signing up.

There are one or two threads just below this one with more detailed discussions of this.
