The no-opponent-move-replay thing would be a negative in my book, but it wouldn't kill the game for me. One thing I've learned as I get older and moldier is that very few things in life are exactly the way I would like them. Hell, I've even learned to tolerate things I really didn't use to like. So if the replay movie turns out to be the cauliflower of SC, I'm not going to let is spoil my meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Thanks Hubert! I was going to buy it anyway just to end the frustration of the demo ending right when the game was getting interesting. But like Aacooper, PBEM is the way I have to play due to time constraints. This will be a great help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Dave Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 ... just awoke to a terrific thrashing noise, and what do I see? :eek: This collective sigh of relief -- has blown over A HUGE old oak tree, Which had survived -- berserker woodpeckers, And early freezes, And hurricane breezes, Since the year -- 1563!

rleete Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Hubert, you da man! This is very good news. After playing my fifth PBEM, the lack of a replay was getting to be a major handicap. My opponent was learning my strategy (Allies), but I was having a hard time of it, because I was playing blind. Hard to do much, when all your units are right on the front line, and his can operate a few hexes back. I was planning on getting two copies right off the bat anyway. But this will definitely increase my appreciation, and therefore my praise to others. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert, PBEM replay is my ONLY reservation about buying this game. If PBEM replay is included you can definately count me in for a purchase or two!

Immolator Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Thanks for including PBEM replay, Hubert. I consider it a feature which greatly enhances the FUN of the game. You've made another sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magyar Khan Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 as i am not mistaken in the Warlords series the pbem recognizes how much uploads/retries from the original sended file have been made. somehow the info is stored on disk. so w eknow it can be done, i am surprised even that it aint implemented in every pbem game. and ofcourse it can be cracked/hacked but i am a gamer not am hacker (as with most serious gamers) as for what i have seen from the 2-turn demo this game looks like the old ww2 game about 10 years ago. (i forgot the name but still have the manual upstairs somewhere). anyone know what game i am talking about? this game aint revoltutionair in scope and design, but still could be fun. but the pbem things must be solved.

vonManstein39 Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Thanks for your open-mindedness and respect for people Hubert. Not many overworked game designers can match that - you're the best I've seen since Oleg Maddox (creator of Il-2). It's easy for people to forget that you've worked your butt off on this game for two years. No-one could blame you if you were absolutely sick to death of SC by now - many people would be like "for God's sake lets publish this damn thing so I can have my life back!"
