Spine Posted October 25, 2000 Share Posted October 25, 2000 I'd love to see them do this period in history! I played Age of Rifles to death. I only recently deleted it from my hard drive. The Napoleonic era would also be nice. And maybe CM9 could be 18th Century warfare! CM's scale would work well with many French and Indian War engagements. Oh the possibilites!

jackson44dday Posted October 29, 2000 Share Posted October 29, 2000 You would have to consider the thought, "is there going to be a cm 9." Also i thnk it would be nice to see a civil war cm. Or maybe even a braveheart type of era. ------------------ He who conquers the past, cammands the future, he who cammands the future, conquers the past.

Scortchus Posted October 29, 2000 Share Posted October 29, 2000 I would also love to see all eras of warfare potrayed with this superior 3D platform...perhaps as BTS grows(inevitable), and is picked up by a big league manufacturer/distributer...they can afford to hire additional programming teams for these projects. ----as for the kilt remark above...i would imagine it would take more of a man to kill someone face to face with a metal stick, kilt or no kilt, than plink them from 300 yards with a rifle, or bomb them from orbit...but anyways knowing BTS' penchant for historical accuracy, kilts should be no obstacle, cause they werent actualy worn untill several hundred years after the Braveheart period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Rock Posted October 31, 2000 Share Posted October 31, 2000 I had a dream last week that the CM engine was adapted to Napoleonics. The scale was changed to 10 min turns and the units were regiments, but it was still CM. It was also true 3D. The players were playing it on a tabletop like a miniatures comp. You can do that kind of weird stuff in dreams, but I doubt that even Charles will be able to code that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MantaRay Posted October 31, 2000 Share Posted October 31, 2000 Well dream your dreams folks. I think they have mapped out their plans for games for atleast 6 years or so. The only themes outside of WWII I think they would do is CW era, as they have already done them with another company before getting tired of the corporate life and writing the manifesto. For them to range into other eras of war, it may give them too much to absorb in their brains and they may explode. While they are most capable of doing any type of wargame, the time it takes for them to research it will be a lot of downtime for them...and us too. They seem to be a tad bit of perfectionists, so who knows. Personally I think it would be great to see this game engine with Major H's TacOps. Imagine Tac Ops with the look of CM...only the maps would have to be quite a bit bigger. It is good to dream, but my dream is just of them getting CM2 completed.

It might seem a long time to sit and watch your orders play out...but this was a slower-paced war, and if the scale was large, there would always be something interesting going on. I would much rather have a Civil War game than a Napoleonic one, I have to mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
