I saw it today in NYC (EB below 14th and Bway). Didn't pick it up, so that one copy is probably still there...

[Hanal]

I cannot find how to put the game in turn based mode in the option screens.....that is the only way I would play this game....

[Terminus]

I think you're supposed to select turn-based or real-time mode in scenario or mission selection, i.e. BEFORE you begin the game.

Tried the demo (blindly - just hacking around) but I played Washington, put everything I had heading for the southern border with Oregon, and then declared war. Wow... screenshots cannot convey the experience of this one. Not really sure if I have the time to get into this one the way it deserves, but it has got to be in my collection!

I tried demo
and am very very impressed
Manageable complexity and logical lay out
I am very eager to get my hand on this gem
Still no sign of availbility where I am living now (Edmonton Canada)
Eb games guy told me that the game is discontineud Doh!!

Hi, I am running Montana. This game would be a gas if every state had a human running it. [X(]

[mogami]

Hi, I would like to get a practice multi player game going. Anyone interested? (The demo can play multi with other demo versions but the demo version will not work with the retail version)

[gunny]

Staples is carrying buckets of this game. For the canadians try there first. Still none at my local EB

[DamoclesX]

Ya I Saw that today when I bought my chair and fan(its +32 here today)

I was going to buy it, but I"m just WAY to busy right now and I know it will suck down a ton of time

Gonna get it eventually tho, it looks grade a

[oi_you_nutter]

lots of them in the Canoga Park Frys for those who want to visit the 90F plus San Fernando Valley [8D]

also they have a couple of HTTR at 19.99

[Bossy573]

So what's the verdict? I would have bought it without a second thought had it been in stores on time. Now that I've had time to think, I'm considering something else. Is the game good?

[DamoclesX]

IF you want something HARDCORE you will love this game, but its hardcore period. I"m totaly lost in it.

This game is definitely deep. BUT, it's not too hard to get a grip on. You have ministers you can delegate to certain aspects of your empire, or you can do it yourself. You can also let them do it but assign them priorities which is what a lot of players do.

The game is very interesting. The developers are absolutely top notch as far as customer service. They answer every question in the forums and even when someone bitches about something, they thank them for their input, and try and explain what is going on or what will be fixed in those situations. Just top notch....I'm a 20 year gamer and they have had the best customer service I've experienced. The game took 5 years and they are continually going to add units, add more features...its a labor of love.

One of the negatives is that the other AI's wont do much with you diplomatically. This is just the way most of the scenarios have been set up, more for aggression. I modded some files and was able to make alliances, trades, etc. They are releasing a second update next week to make the A.I. more ammenable to work with and sliders to make them more peaceful or aggressive at the start of the game depending on what the player wants.

Sorry to gush so much...I just love finding small developed games which have so much depth and such excellent customer service and am trying to get the word out for more people to give the game a go. [:)]

Been playing the demo quite abit. And even the demo is quite a game in itself.

There are sooo many aspects of this game to remain focussed on. For example: during battle if you want to change your production queues to a completely different unit then clicking and selcting isn't the end. You must wait for the factories to complete a retooling phase. such detail like this in everything.

Each unit can be individually trained. specializing in mountain ops, urban, jungle, or just plain manouvers to boost their effectiveness. A fair bit of point and clicks, and roster tracking. Best to rename this now elite unit cause 42nd national gaurd doesnt do it justice.

The economy and commerce covers 9 different commodities to deal with.

Wars can drag you long into a collapsed economy. Ofcourse the game is meant to be realistic this way. Nothing like having your Abrahm regiments and lav 25 battalions stall two tiles from Reno in the middle of the desert. Blitzkreig tactics work well initially but consolidation is hard to acheive as the AI rarely commits to a peace treaty.

True the forum mods answer questions quite readily. I keep playing hoping I'll get a complete handle on all these minute menu options and details.

[Hanal]

So, from what I am reading, this game is a tad more complex than Pong!......[;)]

[GreenDestiny]

This game is awesome... dude!!
I just took over Southern California. And I just love these wars between the states. This game is a must buy.

[bimbo15]

Ya, it's fun fighting state to state....in the Pac NW scenario I have to be, of course, Washington (living in Seattle) but in the default scenario the other states pretty much hate Washington and attack me way too much....so I changed the scenario files dealing with state relations so they all love me and now I can build up and attack whenever I want and teach those pansy states a lesson! [:-]

Hi, I have the economy part down fine. But everytime I get in a war it's dog pile on Mogami. I got beat up by Wyoming while I was clobbering Kansas (I was Colorado)
Utah joined in. Then Nebraska (cutting off my Army in Kansas)
Missiles rained down and I hit the "quit" button.
In the economy I went from 1.600mill in bank at start to paying off a 14.000mill bond and having 9.00 mill in bank in a lttle over a year.

I can't get the other states to sign any kind of treaty no matter what I offer.
This is an awesome game. Shows the how and whys of Nations and wars. Why Empires always need to expand and why it is so hard to remain a peacful nation if your neighbors are going without. (Beans are cheaper then bullets but if you can't grow or buy beans you will resort to bullets)

I'd still like to try a multi player online game. At least 4 humans (Lets gang up on the AI)
