New to CoG & FoF
Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2008 12:25 pm
Hi all
I bought CoG when it was first published, but was put off by the bland graphics and a lot of unexplained game-mechanics. You never felt that you knew what was going on, or what the consequenses (if any) of your actions was on the strategic level.
I know it became better after patches and a lot of forum-support, but it was to late for me, - I moved on.
Purely by accident I saw some info about CoG EE, and being a Napoleonic-freak, I had to be in the know. It seemed that after maturing for 3 years patch-wise and getting a graphic make-over, CoG could be coming to life after flat-lining for 3 years [:)]
Anyway, in my search I discovered FoF and read a lot of good things about it. Against my better judgement, (I have never been an ACW-buff) I bought Forge of Freedom. That game is so much more polished and complete than CoG, that you think that CoG was only the first draft of a brilliant game-engine!
If you can bring the same (or better) elegant system and graphics from FoF into CoG EE, I will surely give the game another try.
Cheers,
