Matrix Games Forums

Greetings great men of the forum!

I am a humble strategist compared to you chaps but I have always loved the idea of a good naval strategy game (and ive loved land strategy games) but the naval element is so rare! So finding this game focussing on dreadnoughts and other warships (at the expense of the all dominating aircraft carrier - to an extent anyway) is absolutely fascinating.

So I checked the FAQs and forum first, but i couldnt figure clear answers for some of these questions that i have, hopefully you gents can help.

1) So ships have even a primitive kind of damage model to reflect damage incurred by bombs etc

2) Is it possible with the editor to create unusual scenarios where you can change the nations sides?

3) Is it possible to add extra ships to the editor with custom graphic etc?

I am an experienced modder so im not expecting any of those features for q2 and 3 to be handed on a plate haha but is it possible?

In anycase you can always tell a good game from the After Action Reports and this looks a total winner

Yes...the different ordnance and weapons hit different parts of the ship...the different parts are rated each.

2) Is it possible with the editor to create unusual scenarios where you can change the nations sides?

Yes

3) Is it possible to add extra ships to the editor with custom graphic etc?

Yes

Oh wow, cool thanks for replying rogue, can i just ask, so,

you can make your er very own experimental battleship haha, so there is simply a data editor or such like in the editor? or is it just editing text files? In anycase, I would love to have experimented with a scenario where the UK fights the USA etc.

You can make your own...click my banner and see some of the stuff that can be done...most of it is WitP though.

There is a link to Spooky's site on my main page...he is the difinitive site.
