Mark my words: ETW wont have dates but "turns"....

**ColdFire** · May 20, 2008, 12:48 PM

Well sa think about it the 2 turn discsion make much more sense, I have only compleat one or two full campains of RTW of M2TW. Thats stupid, the main reason is I allways want to try a new faction. So I think I agree with 2 turns per year, and no, I don't expect CA to add a 4tpy toggle, it would men they have to spend twince as long blanceing the timmings and cost for things.

Very good post Canterbury, I really like the first idea, both of those would be better than what is currently in place in M2. My biggest dissappontment with 2 tpy is that that means they might cut out logistics and supply in the game as well... oh well.

Of course democracy is a compromise!

People will always have different views so a system of control will inevitably be a compromise. I think CA have done well with this one and I don't understand why you guys are getting so worked up about it. In previous games, it has taken, what, 1 minute to change the timescale and I'm sure ETW will be just as accessible.

I love reading the posts from Lusted and Thamis. I've been here since before RTW's release and from what I've seen (this is probably old news to all of you), this is the first time I've seen real interaction between CA Dev's/Testers with TWC community members. Good stuff guys, thanks.

Thanks!

I would say that the previously lower forum participation was not because CA was uninterested in its fans, or anything like that. I think it's just because Lusted & I are of the "new generation" who is more online, and on top of that we both were modders (me on civfanatics.com) before joining the company.

Koei games like Nobunaga's Ambition have a highly developed campaign interface and options, and includes realtime movement on the map. It is quite possible to maneuver or engage several armies on the map simultaneously. Of course they lack the grand RTS battles of TW, but I'd love to see some of their ideas used in the TW campaign map.

I would really like to know if youre including a "get off my land!" option for diplomacy.

To answer the question of foreign armies on the players land would be to talk a lot about diplomacy, which we haven't done yet. You'll find out in good time about what diplomacy is like Empire.

Alright, but I'll hold you to that

I don't really care if the generals live long (unless they are worthless!!!

) some mod can change that around after. Plus if I have a really good general then I love it when they live for like 120 years.

If they have 2 turns a year and the generals age by 1 year every 2 turns (like in all other total wars (from Rome and Med 2)) then they wont live for like 100 years.
