EPG Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Remind's me very much of the old SSI game storm across europe... Any one remember that....? Will you be implementing Airborne assault's aka Crete...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straha Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Sure I remember that one. The AI cheated like hell, and the interface was clumsy and unforgiving, but it nevertheless was fun back then in 1989 (my biggest gripe was that you could only play against the computer when you chose the German side). I remember that it already had the option of investing in research and that the atomic bomb could be researched, too. SAE is often labelled the "grandfather" of WW2 grand strategy computer games, and that is not totally off the mark in my book, even if there was at least also "The Big Three". Consider, though, that SAE was a province based game, whereas SC is hexbased. In the end, this alone makes it pretty incomparable to SC from a design and gameplay point of view (apart from the quite obvious differences in interface, sound and graphics, of course).

BloodyBucket Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Well, ST, There ARE airborne troops in SC, just not as seperate units. It is my understanding that the game scale does not permit a seperate, functional airborne unit. But, when you invade Festung Europa, you are free to close your eyes and imagine little parachutes floating down on that coastal hex.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 BB, In another thread, you said: Glad you got a laugh out of it Hubert, but I'm afraid that they have the right dosage for my meds almost nailed down, so I'm not posting as much nowadays.I want what you're taking.
