Stainless Steel 7.0 Preview II: Gameplay Features II

[Ultimus]

These features are all great. CA should hire you for the next game (I wonder if the developers are amazed by the amount of work implemented in this mod).

Probably cussing at all the lost DLC money they could be making, heh.

[Ferdiad]

I seriously doubt that.

[Plumo]

IMO some factions should reappear as rebels almost always. Especially once mighty factions.

[Duck of Death]

Looks great. Though I am a bit concerned that I still havent seen any mention of where the dragons will be spawning

[Ferdiad]

That's why the FOW is on in the minimaps.

they're already working on the next part of the francise, even before the shogun 2 DLC's were released

[Emperor of Hell]

Ah, those are some great new features. Shouldn't this be a sticky BTW?

[Ferdiad]

People overlook stickies alot, he could want more feedback.

[Judeman266]

Seeing as the first preview got almost 40,000 views in less than a month, that might be not be a good reason to not make it a sticky.

[Ferdiad]

Ill just say I have no idea then.

[MaximusTheGreat]

I actually like the idea of not being able to autoresolve battles with your faction leader (I think that you should always play your battles, but that's just me). I would think that if you have your faction leader out in the field then there is no reason why you shouldn't fight with him...

[Ichon]

I don't quite get what is wrong with auto resolve with faction leader? Does he get some bonus or something? Since usually in my experience the auto resolve gives way more casualties than actually fighting the battle that is punishment enough.

[MaximusTheGreat]

I think it's more just to force people to fight because I think you can say that most people get in a habit of just autoresolving everything, and even sometimes using the cheat "autoresolve win" just to make the game more quickly... I mean in Napoleon they even made an acheivement on Steam called "

The Bronze Armchair of Comfort - Win any campaign by auto-resolving battles" so I feel that goes to show that a lot of people just resort to auto resolve

[Judeman266]

Sometimes I have to auto-resolve battles where there are over 6000 troops because the battlemap would be too laggy, so I think the fighting with the FL should be optional.

[Sanderlicious]

Yes. That is the concern I expressed earlier. But if it isn't optional upon release then somebody will step up and mod it to do so. Maybe even me... if I were less lazy...

[Ichon]

Even auto resolve win is bad and gives more casualties. Especially to valuable units that would normally be untouched.

[Judeman266]

Yeah, I could probably figure out how disable it myself anyway so it wouldn't matter.

apart from sieges (in my experience at least )

I'm one of those players who autoresolves most battles. I prefer the strategy on the campaign map. Battles take a lot of time, I like to move on.
