7.0 Timeframe

**Lord Dakier** · February 20, 2012, 03:51 AM

I'm looking to start a new campaign with one of the Total War games, was thinking about going back to Stainless Steel. With 7.0 announced I'm wondering whether to wait or just start a 6.4 game up. So does anyone have any sort of time frame. If its going to be like 2 months+ I'll just do a 6.4 game but if its any less then I suppose I can wait for a bit.

I'm not part of the developing team but the announcement of 7.0 doesn't have to mean a release in the near future (TATW 3.0 was released one year after the first previews showed up). It's done when it's done and constantly asking for a release date will only annoy the developers.
Starting a 6.4 campaign won't hurt, what's the worst thing that can happen to you? SS 7.0 is released before you have finished?

Im not asking for a release date, only a sort of speculated timeframe. I'm sure someone knows whether its gonna be 8 weeks or 8 months.

Well, 8 weeks should be enough for a new campaign, don't you think?

Considering turns take an hour or so...

Guys,

As for 7.0, I would advise that you start a campaign on 6.4.

Snap, I just did the same. Heh. You've heard of cross-posting, here is perhaps the first known instance of cross-reporting.

I have not.

It's where at least two people respond to a post, normally with a similar reply (e.g. answer to how to mod something, such as linking to a tutorial) within a very short time-frame, usually within a few minutes or so (especially if it's the same time stamp in hours and minutes, with the exception of seconds).

Especially if we see that new RC/RR for 6.4 soon, right?

Yes, but hopefully there will be tools available to auto-gen stats soon courtesy of Moneybags14

Called Ninja-ing actually.

Also, you can have both 6.4 and 7.0 on your computer...so playing one and the other coming out doesn't mean you can't finish a campaign. Just install both
