[griffon]

C'est un des trucs que j'aime dans ce jeu !

Sorry doomtrader if i offended you. I rewrited my post in order to explain properly what a think.

I played as you know with Time of Wrath. First game against the AI, ToW was a little but enjoyed game. AI was a good partner.

But as i think that a one-man game agaisnt IA could be only a training session, or a game for learning to play, my second game was a multiplayer game, pbem.

In my opinion, it was a disaster.

- Only the first player, german player, had the naval battles report. So, he destroyed the Royal Navy with the Luftwaffe and the U-Boots unless i realize anything. The game does not allow tho cover a fleet with figthers. The U-Boots are very too powerful, against Destroyers, and British CV are too weak. The naval game is strongly unbalanced, and Kriegsmarine can take control of the seas so easly. In fact, allies will never can to land in Europe. Incredible, The US Navy had only few ships, easly to be destroyed.

- Second the german player choose to attack France so early. But the events (like BEF) was launched with historical dates. When the BEF appears in England, France falled since few month ago.
During the Battle of France, it appears that surrounded units can escape a pocket with strategic mouvement.

- Third Bararossa was lauched so early too. Of course the russian army had a poor aggressiveness, and of course the events intended to do a powerful red army was programmed with historical dates : Too late for save Moscow or Leningrad, too late for save USSR.

- In Africa, i realised that i can build british units directly in Egypt. I was not obligated to built it in England, and transfer it in Egypt by ships. Infantry, but mechanised units too.

- And i don't forget how Axis was powerful economic countries with lot of production points, comparing with the poor United Kingdom, incapable to product planes, to repar ships during the war. Cairo was a present for Axis, like Moscow, like Atlantic sea. In Mediterranean sea the Royal Navy was easly destroyed by the Regia Marina and U-Boots.

I would have wanted to explain more and more, but my english is too bad and it's difficult to be more precise. I don't forget report sessions badly writen.

A very unbalanced game, with serious bugs. Impossible to play it in a multiplayer game, sorry.

This is far more better than the previous one.

A good feedback and constructive criticism is always welcome. I do agree that the PBEM was a weak point.

Which version your experience are based on?

Also please remember that we have learned a lot since Time of Wrath was released.

I agree, my first post was stupid. I did not want to hurt you. Sorry again.

Je vois que le débat fait rage ici

Perso, j'aimerais bien me faire une idée, mais sans démo c'est dur. Par rapport à Commander Europe at war, mon petit chouchou, c'est quoi les différences au juste ?

Hi,

It is hard to say for me, as I didn't really play a lot in CEAW.
However the Grand Campaign in Time of Fury lasts for more than 400 turns as each turn is one week long. The map is over 250 hexes wide and over 150 hexes high, so this changes the scale to divs and corps.
Also the naval part of the game is based on the sea zones rather than hexes.
From other important aspects there are:
railroads,
supply system
convoys
country specific settings
to name just few.

Hum, after these precisions, I am convinced by this game and I will try it. As you know without doubt, I am a international modder, I could say, The french modder , and It's sure that if I would be enjoyed by the game, I would create some little graph mods with, to improve the material game. So, if you could send to me a key licence, I am sure it would be great for the game to be modded by me (I am very serious : It is not a joke, you may ask information about me on this forum : I am a the unic french crazy serial modder
(bon, arrêtez de vous marrer, je le sens bien ce coup là )

Drop me an email with to doomtrader[at]wastelands-interactive.com with some reference links to your creations.

Ca va bien lui prendre la nuit de compiler toutes ses références

[griffon]

je ne vois pas trop l'intéret de modifier la version originale

( à moins de construire un scénari avec l'éditeur )

car les options d'affichage sont déja nombreuses et souples ?

je progresse et l'armée adverse est "la tete dans le sac"

Field of Glory (Ris eof Rome - Slitherine) ="Napoleonic mod" and some other graphs mods

Actual work : to change the very old Civil war general 2 in operationnel classic wargame (graph improvments)
viewtopic.php?f=42&t=10650&p=343299#p343299

If a game enjoys me, I am a crazy modder for it (graphs, parameters modifications, etc). But if the game does not enjoy me, I say it also, with justification at my modder point of view

Griffon : ce que je vois de ton screen n'est pas mal du tout (tons pastels), mais j'ai quelques petites idées sur de possibles améliorations graphiques pour donner vraiment un véritable look "classic wargame" au jeu, s'il me plaît.

You still need to write to me on my email.
