so very very exciting!!

The LOS seem brutally unbalanced.. GaJ has never seen anything before Bill. Wouldn't you think the defender should get some kind of advantage here???

I seem to recall something about him putting 90% of his points into a single massive naval artillery bombardment... Likely he's hoping you'll bunch up a bit more.

So it seems like armor is considerably more useful and commonly used in CM2.... However, in reality the relative inexpensiveness of ATG's meant there were A LOT more of them in static defenses in actual warfare. I don't know if the way they're modeled or their relative costs being off, but I find that they are not cheap enough (or armor isn't expensive enough) to warrant their purchase given their massive differences in flexibility in game. Thoughts? Javaslinger

Except most in the thread are reading the other thread....

Did anyone buy some of the new AA's?

I think you should give him and extra 600 points and give yourself a challenge this time!!

OK smarty pants... So it would seem that the amazon app store version which i purchased ages ago is still 1.3? Will that be upgraded or do I need to buy it again on Google play?

I'm sorry, but I don't feel like the Android version of Touch has received the usual high level of TLC from Battlefront as the rest of their products... However, I don't care too too much because frankly I'm much more interested in your PC products. It's just a little disappointing.

For many months the android version has been behind the Iphone version. Now it is available on Google Play with a new version number but it is entirely unclear if this is the same 'old' version as before or updated to be inline with the Iphone version. Definitely would appreciate some clarification....

GreenAsJade seems to be 2 or 3 minutes behind in the updates... I need him to catch up before I can keep reading yours!!

Doesn't CMFI have all kinds of map making/scenario design tools that CMBN doesn't which supposedly make it a bit easier?

Bought it... Someday I need to actually start playing these games... I've spent enough money on them and their ancillary products...

I meant 'battles' and campaigns... I don't see any mention in the description.

Any leaks on the battles+/campaigns?

This is pretty much exactly what I was hoping someone would do! Very much appreciated. I can see that it's quite a time commitment to go back and narrate it after the fact. I suppose you could cut the time in half if you could narrate as you manage each turn but I see your point in the difficulty of doing that.

LOL!!! I know! He's finally active on the forums on a minute by minute basis defending the honor of the companies programming and QA but still mute on what 99% of us actually care about... Stop pandering to the tightass, whiny 1%! We are the 99% and we want some Road Map details!!

My god.. are you people still arguing about this??? I had always assumed that this company line that 'spending time on the forums takes too much time away from programming' as being a bunch of hooey... But now that I see it in action, I have to agree...

So I was under the impression that the 2.0 upgrade would also considerably upgrade the terrain graphics and what not. And it looks to me that it did. So I guess the question is, do I still need the famous terrain packs of Aris or are the redundant? Or do they somehow work in concert with v2.0? Thanks, Javaslinger

Can't we block these asshats? Do we really need to go through this bullsh%t all over again???

(Fighting every impulse....) Yes.

Might I suggest doing the Let's Play in turn based mode rather than real time. Problem solved and much more suited to doing a Let's Play... I hadn't even considered trying to do it in realtime....

It was not your problem I had little empathy for... it was your presentation of the problem... ie.. 'how to lose a customer...' I might say another appropriate title would have been - 'How to lose empathy from fellow fans of the game'

Many of these youtube video's are worthless from a perspective of learning the game. The brief ones and the ones with no recorded audio specifically. What CM needs is a good let's Play style video AAR. Where someone has recorded not only the game turn replays but the setup of each turn. In addition, discussing strategy, reasoning, etc as it is done. There are thousands if not millions of excellent examples of this with other games on youtube. Some of my favorites being exhaustively done for Europa Universalis III, Hearts of Iron, and Crusader Kinds II. These are excellent ways to learn the game, get strategy insight, and marketing tools. I think BFC should consider commissioning some of the grognards here to do a small series. Hugely informative when done well. However, they are time consuming to do, require video editing skills to be done well, and are really a labor of love...

I agree completely with the sentiment here... (if not with the fact the Steve only comes to the forums when we piss him off)
