Buying the Game

Post by ArchdukeMagyar »

I'm not going to buy the game, after the triumph of the commandos series I'm really dissapointed by pyro. Who's buying it?

It is the best napoleonic game out , or will be. As much as it is wrong you can mod the game.

I'll still buy despite the flaws many people have pointed out. The stragegy looks good plus I personally like the inclusion of naval battles.

The most important thing for me is the managment - anyway in RTW I was always automatically resolving the battles ;)
But answering ur question - yes of course I will buy it ;)

Hehe maybe always is too strong word but in fact I'd prefer to gain territories and manage troops, buildings etc. Of course the battles are very important but less than managament for me ;]

I did the same thing as Raquiem. I liked the battles but my favorite part was the managment and troop movement. That was my favorite part.

I am definatly buying this game!

The only big problem I have with the game is moving my troops. I hate that they will just march someplace else, so you tell them to go, and when you finally are able to select them to go in the right way, they will just stop somewhere completely else.

Why do the cannons have only one type of shot. That is stupid , there are several different types. And Englands secret weapon designed by Colonel Shrapnel , case shot. Will probaly not be included.

I don't know much about artillery warfare, but they mentioned that at least ships would be using different types of shots, so there is always hope.

Yup. I suppose so. But that type of shell the case was the best artillery invention of the time. It blew the French colums to peices.

Well, I don't know much about that type, but in the unit descriptions, it has Britain as having a special rocket sort of artillery.

yes the congreve rocket. Hardly any used, a test project, higly inacurate. And hated by all , except the prince Rege nt who got them into use.But Englands secret weapon was the case shot. No other country worked out how to use them untill artillery had changed to much to use it. It was also the hardest artillery shell to get right. It had to go above the heads of the infantary because the sharpnel inside was compacted so it blew downwards into the enemy column .

Nasty stuff that...At least they could've made the howizters work like they're supposed to, like mini-air bursts....I wish they could add in the CSA's parrot gun, a cannon, (9lbs i think) that's the most accurate cannon ever made. It was made to target enemy generals, pretty effective for the most part actually.

No, because he was a traitor. Not because he was a superior commander- he lost many, many battles.

This is the first off topic post, brought to you by the Brit with a VERY large ego.

Washington was great. The only scum were the British who were driving taxes down our throat. We may have been rebels but we are proud of it! And don't you ever say that we, as rebels, were scum!
You wrren't scum. Your taxes were the lowest in the Empire. It was a pathetic revolution, if we're honest.

The causes is that the colonists felt their rights were being infringed upon....Washington lost battles, but he knew as long as he kept the Continental Army alive, the war wasn't lost. Even though he lost battles, he won the war by keeping the army alive. Not the greatest tactician, but a great strategist none-the-less. And the reasons might seem small to you, but to an American they seem rather large. If we were get a whole bunch of new taxes out of nowhere, you'd see a second Civil War, I guarantee it.

A second American Civil war in this day and age would sound absurd not to menttion costs like the US never saw before. I think many modern nations cant afford a full blown civil war nowadays. Urban combat would be brutal, day and night airraids which can level a city in a week.

Its guranteed to plumit a nation into the abyss after its aftermath.

Not even, besides, the Fed gov wouldn't level an American city, ever. They wouldn't even harm vietnamese cities or iraqi cities. And wars are still possible, ie China and Taiwan, its possible.

I won't buy it initially but will see how things develop on the discussion boards, what sort of patches ware issued and keep an eye on the modding scene. The game has potential to be excellent but the gameplay I've experienced in the demo is too poor and lacking in any depth or historical accuracy to warrant me spending my money on the product in it's present form. IG has great graphics but that alone isn't enough to save it IMHO.

I tried Cossacks2 recently and that was laughable but for different reasons.

Currently the only serious contender for a Napoleonic game on the PC is the mod for M:TW, and that has it's limitations because of where it's sourced from.

What you mean thye wouldn't level a Vietnese city. What about all that napalm on villages and towns and cities.I think I will still buy the game despite its faults because it will be good to learn to mod on it , and I have made a clan so bit naughty if I didn't by the game.
