Mr.Dozer, Vic is doing a fine job developing a computer game from scratch all by himself. Can YOU do that??

Rather than trolling, you might offer to help playtest and improve the game? If you're willing to work, that is. Whining and complaining is just too easy and accomplishes nothing.

ok im sorry its just compared to sc it just didnt copare.
No need to apologize, Mr.Dozer.

If you don't think it's worth a tinker's damn (... as I surely didn't with that much bally-hoo'd piece of junk... GG's WaW), then it's perfectly alright to say so. ;)

You'll discover that just about EVERYBODY on this board has strong opinions, and ain't so shy about making them very well known, IE, LOTS of testosterone circulating, 'round & 'round it flows, with no particular place to go... LOLOLOLOL!

I've been playing these WW-2 GS games for a long, long time, and I tell you now:

SC-2 has got them ALL beat.

Bad.

It's a bad, bad game, Mr.Dozer. :cool:

Just so there's no mis-understanding here, though, there rarely is, eh? ;)

I haven't had the chance to try out People's Tactics but some things we should all consider:

a) it is not that easy to make a game... believe me I know smile.gif

B) from the looks of it Victor has made a substantial effort and although it may not appeal to everyone I'm sure he would much prefer that you offer constructive criticism.

Yes it is free... but as Bill mentioned, he does have an open forum so don't hesitate to drop him a line and offer ideas for improvment.

At the end of the day, we all have to remember that this is still a niche hobby, i.e. the more games the merrier, and even SC1 started as a little *experiment* just to see if I could make a game... so who knows what might become of People's Tactics (with the right direction/feedback) down the road? ;)

Yes!...now that ive gone to the Peoples Tactics Web-Site...i remember the game!.

I did play it for a bit...It was difficult to figure out the instructions/rules etc...but, what i did play seemed to not be too bad!.

I believe the fellow who made this game...was posting at this SC2 Discussion Site around a year and a half ago or so!.

His game has promise...as far as im concerned...but i would like for him to greatly SIMPLIFY his game rules and instructions.

@Hubert,

Thanks for redirecting Mr Constructive to my forum ;)

Looking forward to seeing SC2 soon! Happy coding.

@All,

PT was never ment to be like SC. It is ment to integrate tactical and strategic gameplay into one game. Anyways i am working hard on PT2 and am trying to move it towards a beta version. Still half year to go for that happening though.

@Retributar,

I fear the rules will not be simplified. I just like it to add somany rules to a game that playing it correctly becomes more a way of intuition than cold calculation.

Kind regards,

Vic

Heres a decent game kinda boring after a while since there is no Ai but its ok.

Thanks for the link Mr.Dozer.

Have already down-loaded and taken 'er out for a spin and... well, it's a bit... incomplete.

Here's hoping the developer can fine tune that thing... maybe one day when I get some free time I'll sign in on the forum and offer up some ideas.

Avalon Hill's board game of same name was a lot of fun to play, and didn't take very long to set 'er on up and complete a full campaign... recommended. :cool:

Try to give people something for free and they will find a reason to insult you.
In MY opinion, it sux.

Wow, this is an unusually rude thread.

Work on thise people-skills, mmm...

In MY opinion, it sux.

______________________________

First comment: I was referring to the worst war game ever made, by anyone, since 1674 C.E.

Hearts of Iron ... any version, now or in future.

(... it wasn't free, but, it should have been)

Second comment: I was referring to the second worst war game ever made, by anyone, since 1746 C.E.

Grigsby's World at War ... any version, any patch, any time.

(... neither was this free, but here, I would think they'd have to PAY you to try it?)

_________________________________

See guys, that's ALL I need to tell you.

It is MY personal opinion.

I do NOT have to offer ANY reason why these two games suck.

I CAN explain in some detail if I WANT to.

Just now, for reasons of my own, I choose not to.

So?

If yer gonna roll something out in front of the public, whether a new game or, let's say a new excuse for an old, old, trumped up War, well,

You better be able to stand up and take it, eh? ;)

Ha, I spent some hours playin peoples tactics, and I esp. like the WWII pacific scen.

The gameplay is solid although the A.I. isn't much to speak of. Art. is somewhat quirky but better then the way SC represents it.

All in all, I think if Vic takes PT and fixes most of the problems, then PT2 should be one amazing game. Good luck

Ya know, Mr.Dozer,

Ya oughta go into every forum,

Around 'em War-game towns,

And sign on up, and

Start a thread entitled"

"What a crappy game!"

I'm sure Vic would appreciate it. ;)

(... and all 'em SC Cats who love

that game oughta go on over and sign in

there and offer advice and maybe even

get a free game for beta testing? Once Vic

commences charging real monies? ;) )

First a true life tale, then

Some advice, which you ain't gotta

Even listen to, nope,

You never ever do. ;)

It's like when I went out to Big LA

After the Army let me loose

And I turned in that plastic Mattel toy,

In the late 60's it was, see, uh huh,

I wuz gonna be the liveliest Jive Cat

To hit them star scarred boulevards, oh,

Since James Dean roared into La-La Land

From outta back-roads Indiana,

In 'is chopped down, back-firing jalopy, LOL!

And so, I wandered 'round ogling

The palm trees and all them California

Girls the Beach Boys had moaned

Over, and finally... auditioned for a part

As a Hell's Angel,

Side saddle Pal

Of grungy 'ol Dennis Hopper, yea verily, only

Trouble being,

They finally had them a huddle

Of befuddled dipsy doodle Hippies, and

Cut out that bit part

Altogether! LOLOLOL! :rolleyes:

Anyway, my high-rent Agent - such as 'e was,

With his bifocals and crooked hairpiece and

This striped AND checkered vest what

Had cigarette burns all down the front,

1, 2, 3, anna 4 - I counted 'em all

While standin' and a'starin' at 'im, hell

It's all I could do,

I couldn't git no word

In edgewise, and so, tra la, finally

He'd said to me

(... kinda outta side of 'is mouth):

"Kid! Git yer name OUT there, however

It is that you haffta do it."

"Rent a billboard

On corner of Sunset and Western Ave,

And stick yer ugly mug up there, or

Pick a fight with sotted Jim Morrison

Out in parking lot of Whiskey A'Go'Go,

Anything!"

"'Cept, maybe, don't murder nobody."

"... Hmmmm, wait a minute,

on the other hand... "

LOLOLOLOLOL.

And so, Vic got his name

Up in 'em bright BF spot lights,

Hooray for Hollywood, how nice. smile.gif

I'll bet you a crisp new five spot

That NOBODY ELSE will be so

Gracious and helpful

As Hubert has been?

Wanna bet on it, Kid? LOLOL!

________________________________

BTW: You don't wanna be seen hanging around me

So much.

You won't be popular 'mongst

The various cliques and tree house gangs

What hang around these here parts.

LOLOLOLOL,

Ah, well, what the hell, ALWAYS stand up

For yerself.

Always always always, always.

Say what YOU think,

And NEVER... just go along... to get along.

EVEN IF the rest of Crowd

Smacks you, ignores you, or

Climbs on 'at 'er sway-back

Hoss what brung 'em on in,

Don't be a'ridin' after no

Bad Cat phantoms, yes? :cool:

Well, DD, guess I've declined your advice, or don't care much about being popular etc & so on.

I'd like to say more but Belmundo and ImmerEtwas and myself are in a bit of a hurry to get on the NM desert for some serious ice fishing before the Sunday rush exits from the churches.
