Desert Dave Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 JPW, and everyone: From this point on... Hubert will be providing almost ALL of the details for this truly amazing game. There may be some exceptions down the road, as with AARs and the like, and so, we'll see. As you can well imagine, there is a VERY good and compelling reason for this. ONLY he knows what will be included. And, HOW or even IF any features will, or will not be implemented. I am not intending to avoid any further questions, but pzgndr and I ARE bound by a NDA, and from here on out, since there will be a transition from Alpha to Beta, we have to be, ummmm, more... circumspect. But, we can and will elaborate on those "general aspects" (... and I am not referring to giving Guderian a rating of 9, which he DESERVES, IMHO) of the game, BUT, as I say, Hubert truly should be the only one who is forthcoming, since he alone knows what is relevant to discussions... and, naturally, as he has the time. I feel this is important enough to create a separate topic. Thus far, Bill and I have commented on some aspects of SC2, and occasionally... perhaps, been slightly premature with a couple of the comments we made. I know this to be true in my case, anyway. We have done it because we are, as everyone else here, VERY excited about this new! game. **HOWEVER, As stated above, we are NOW in a position where we must be more careful. I only ask that everyone will appreciate this "exacting status" and please, do NOT ask either of us, or any other added beta-testers to reveal DETAILS of the game. Hubert will do that as he deems appropriate. Nonetheless, we can continue to participate in any and all discussions, and even offer some "general" comments. Thanks for understanding!

pzgndr Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 we are, as everyone else here, VERY excited about this new! game Roger that. We've had a chance to play with the new editor for a while and see the potential for customizing this game. Most ALL of those SC1 "issues" are being addressed and resolved. While SC2 will be "new" it should not be radically different for most veteran players. Just a bit more refined here and there, with the flexibility for making additional adjustments or even a brand new game! A few highlights are worth mentioning again: - Enhanced politics and diplomacy will provide a bit more variability and excitement - Map/resource editing, industrial technology, scripted events, force pool limits, and a few other things will allow better economic modeling of the war - New unit types, new combat target types, adjustments to the combat target tables and new options for Air Fleets to toggle intercepts/escorts and for Subs to toggle Run Silent will all contribute to a much more interesting game We'll share more information as we can. Hopefully we'll have some game AARs one of these days. Let's give Hubert a chance to get the game up and running first so we can start moving icons around! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Aptly taken guys. Let me be the first in this thread to offer a great heaping of gratitude for the information you all have divulged, be it accurate or not, to us so far. Your excitement is infectuous and here's toasting (tapping beer can on monitor) that SC2 is an outstanding success. Thanks Dave, Bill and HC.

Desert Dave Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 Yer welcome SeaMonkey! This is an ongoing process. Much yet to do. We will all get there, following Hubert's Exceptionally gracious lead. Eventually, there WILL be AARs with screenshots, have no fear. Until then, Bill and I are equally as interested and excited about all the new! and accomplished features, as you are. Keep on making suggestions and offering up EVERY little detail you care to. I read these informed comments and... USED to believe that I knew a little something about WW2 gaming... ha-ha! Not so fast, precocious Hopper! Well, just... keep on keepin' on! :cool: [ May 27, 2004, 02:18 PM: Message edited by: Desert Dave ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
