my idea

i have always had an idea that i want to explain here!
why the games are not linkable !!!
i explain better, why is not possible to play our best strategic game and then play (if you want), the resulting battle with another game of another developer ???
somewhere as the total war series but much large-scale idea.
if you think this the arrangements are infinity, play our air engagement with il-2 or the naval battle with silent hunter.
the only problem, the two games must be linkable.
there are problems i know but the vantages are large and the market of games obtain certainly benefits as also developers.
that's all... Bye [:)]

Only if they come from the same developers.  Micropose tried to link Gunship with M1 Tank Platoon.  But that didn't push through.  LOMAC can link with BlackShark.

If I think the arrangements are "infinity"?

Well, I am sure English isn't his first language, but at least he got his point across. That is more than I can say about many forum posters who do claim English as their first.

yes it's true, English isn't not my first language (...not even the second [:(]) but i think this is a strategic forum and not a grammatical.

"...the only problem, the two games must be linkable..."

Yes that's the only problem, and at the same time it's an unsurmountable problem. People differ just too much (opinions, thoughts, insights, points of view, you name it) to make games linkable. Maybe it would work for a small dedicated company, but then the (niche-)market for it would be much too small---> too few buyers is a guaranteed no go.
So yeah, the idea might seem good, but it's not around the corner. Well maybe one day when everything is Microsoft and Google (or their successors) then games might become linkable. (gosh I hope I don't see that day though; everything MS/Google/Steam)

What does Steam have to do with this?

Well not exactly Steam, no steam bashing from me, nor MS or Google bashing, I merely wanted to point out that in a distant future everything *might* be linked together, all the "pc's" ( or whatever they will look like in X years time), all your searches, all the things you buy, all places you've been to, all the movies and series you've watched, or will watch...) all that combined in super computers. Then it will be possible to make linkable wargames. I doubt very much it will be possible to make really "linkable" wargames before that happens.

English is your third? Wow, for a third language I'm impressed. Tagalog is my 2nd and I have a hard time writing it! [&o]

Oo! Pero hindi ako mahusay. Nag-practice na ako kasi Pilipina ang asawa ko. (Yes! But I'm not very good. I practice because my wife is  Filipina.)


 I am so jealous of you guys that have English as a second language and write it better than I do. [&o]

I'm not a programmer, but I presume that making games from different developers linkable would require them to have access to each other's programming code (at least to a certain extent).

I'm not sure many developers would agree to that.
