XIII Century - Looks very promising

[MARIAN]

ehehe my teribble eng.
in history battles you already have groups with static amount. But in castom battles for a money you will be able to form itself different for ammount groups, you can form 1 group with 500 pikemen or 5 groups on 100 pikemen for example.

Oooo! Sorry. I have a really hard day....
Now i understand
40-400 men in each unit. But in editor you can make... hmm.... 1000 men in each. But it will be a quite hard to control
BTW, there is no limit of units numbers. You can take 50 units for examplre

[Rion]

So you can't take under 40 men outside the editor? That was exactly that type of information I was looking for. Thanks!

Now that's what I'm talkin bout

I'll wait for the campaign version though, I'm not really interested in custom/historic battles. Hope they're still going to release a campaign map later.

It's March, and a few weeks later it's next month, so is the release+demo close, is there no exact release day? Can't wait for this game!

what does the magazine say about the demo???? Any release for the demo yet???

[MARIAN]

A magazine said nothing about demo.

[drak10687]

yeah, it doesn't speak of any release date. At the end, they say that the game is almost finished, and that they even got to play it, but they did not give it a final verdict because (though the gameplay is pretty much developed) there are still things left to be worked out, such as the actual missions (in order to make each unique and challenging).

Also, from what I understood, the gameplay will differ quite a bit from M2TW. Here, it seems, that you will give orders at the start of the battle, while it is paused (the orders can be quite specific, for example, archers can be told to stand in front and fire, but then retreat behind friendly lines, assess the situation, and if they are safe, begin to fire again, and stop if friendly units engage the unit they are firing on... ) and when you unpause the game, you can just sit back and watch your orders being carried out. However, at any time, you can pause the game and reissue orders. Oh, at the beginning, you also assign units to serve as reinforcements, which you can bring into battle at any time you wish.
Besides things like "fatigue" and "morale" they also mentioned a skill/ability type-o-thing called "intuition", where upon certain circumstances, units with no orders, can choose to act on their own. But they said the details of how this works will be kept quite for now.

thats pretty much it.

[Pavlik the Rus]

In matter of fact, that article in magazine allmost empty. It says allmost nothing new, only that what we (Me and Marian) allready said. But soon game will be in our hands.

[Pavlik the Rus]

Unfortunatly, there was found a bug. Instead of 12 march, game will be send to publisher on 23 march. The relise will be moved on two weeks later. But i think that is a good thing.
Even more, they promise to add some things on this time.

[Illyrian]

like what???

[italiano]

Remind the developers not to be hung up by immediate sales figures, I'm sure many of us are going to wait for a campaign map.

ok i will tell it.

like what???

I hope you will see it in game soon

[Cadmium77]

Funny...M2TW is gorgeous and...and...and...I almost never play it.

I'm watching this game carefully...we shall see...

Maybe it'll have something...a piquancy...a level of detail that will captivate my attention.

[MARIAN]

All can be, time will show it

[drak10687]

hmm, well, I find that M2TW does look gorgeous, but I don't particularily like its style for the units. They all look like hunch backs, especially the units with no armor, or as if they just came back from hell and years of torture. I guess that creates a good battle atmosphere in the sence of the gruesome acts of murder, the sensation of pain, and struggle. But not for a game of strategy.

[drak10687]

so, has it been sent to the publisher yet?
