Pride of Nations

[Gilmer]

They came out with a DLC for the American Civil War today.

Buy AACW. Same publisher, but better, achieved, more detailed. The PON scale isn't fitted for ACW. You have big regions and 15 days turns. between New Orleans and Saint-louis, there are maybe 4 to 5 regions. Most of the PON ACW will have the WW1 feeling or will end quickly.

Let's add the DLC begins in 1862, when AACW covers 1861 too. I guess 1862 is the starting date because the AI would be doomed in 1861 with too few units to cover all the war theaters.

Now 3 $ the DLC is very cheap. If you disagree with me, the risk isn't huge, after all.

I'd prefer it if they came out with an official patch.

I was going to say the same thing. AGEOD used to be known for releasing patches regularly, almost weekly sometimes, and they haven't released one official one yet.

[Phatguy]

its because DLC is where the money is......patches only happen if the greed factor is absent...And i'm not really talking Ageod....Im talking their big daddy Paradox, who hasnt missed milking the last nickel from any dead cow in their catalog yet...

[DuckofTindalos]

Well, no kidding. But we saw that coming the second the press release about Pair-a-dix buying AGEOD came out.

I would, too. But doesn't Paradox have a policy of issuing only three "official" patches per title? If so, I suspect the continuing beta patches for Pride of Nations is an effort by AGEOD to get around the patch limit in order to get the game as close to perfect as they can.

[DuckofTindalos]

In a sensible world, Pair-a-dix would have been out of business by now. They make shit games, provide shit "support" for them, and generally act like shit towards their paying customers. But the sheep just keep lining up.

[Phatguy]

Their games are not all **** !

[DuckofTindalos]

WRONG! They even ruin games they're only supposed to be the publishers of, by shitting on post-release support.

[Phatguy]

Thats your opinion....

[Chilperic]

If Ageod had released a better game, the question of patch rate would be less accurate.

Why are you so full of hate?I heard the reason is because PI fired you.Is there any truth to that?

Released earlier today:

PON 1.02 Patch candidate (public beta 1.01 serie L, updated Sept 02)

New features, lots of fixes. Get it while it's hot.

[ezzler]

Is the game any good. It looked promising. Demo was Ok.
But I've been burned by that company before so didn't buy.

Is it all fixed up and playable now?

[DuckofTindalos]

Looks like they took it down again, after several people reported a deal-breaking bug. Get a move on, Paradox!

[Yogi the Great]

Paradox put a game out with a bug!

Gee, whoever could have guessed that might happen?

[DuckofTindalos]

Erm, EVERYBODY!

It's up now (4 September 2011) and it has the same name as the patch I downloaded yesterday, Patch_PON1.01LPB.zip.

I didn't see any mention made on either the Paradox or AGEOD forums about "a deal-breaking bug."
