FerrisB Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 HvS raised a very good question "Will a german basic version run with an english expansion pack?" Hubert, maybe you can offer some kind of "Gold-Version" including SC2 (eng. version) and the expansion pack for owners of a foreign version of SC2, if the expansion pack won`t work with the german basic version? (ofc for a "special price" ) Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Cater Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Liam, all extra terrain, resources and units will be available via the Editor for inclusion on any campaign/scenario as with SC2 I am trying to move away from hardwiring as much as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 @FerrisB --- Yo, don't worry about all those funny languages...Let Hubert be, stick to English! @HR --- What is expresso version you're talking about? @Hubert --- How about "Spectator Mode"? Have you considered that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retributar Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 What would be interesting for passing visitors is to have a 'Demo-Game' that could be run off of a server[iE: "A La'-Streaming"],...so that these interested one's could very-quickly give the game a try-out to see what it's all about!.

borsook Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Great news! Two questions: Is there any chance that the exp. will include an optional non-random (i.e. point-buy) tech research? It would be really great if it did... Maybe a bit too early to ask this, but I have a friend who has birthday in September and I thought of buying SC2 as a present so will there be an option to buy SC2+Exp together at some discount?

Hubert Cater Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Borskook, 1. Not for the initial release but perhaps down the road 2. Pricing is still being worked out so unfortunately I can't give you a definitive answer on that just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vveedd Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Excellent but all of this should have been in original release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
targul Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Why would you think that Vveedd? The original release is playable and moddable. They gave us a complete and good game. Now they are simply adding to that game with the first of what I hope will be many expansions. For me I am happy to see them continuing to support the game. These types of expansions allow them to continue to support the game and make it better and better. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vveedd Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I do realize that. Still, difference between first and second part of the game should be much bigger then we had in SC games case. And this is not my opinion; it is general public opinion for all PC games. Original SC2 release was step forward after SC1 but too little step. Actually if you excluded new graphic all other improvements should have been in Expansion Pack for SC1. With this Expansion Pack for SC2 it is big step forward. Of course, it is too early to be sure in this. We have to see this Expansion Pack first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old pal! :eek: Say, vveedd! Since you are beta boy for that OTHER game We know a bit about, Can you do us a wee little favor? If you please, tell us! What can be EDITED in That there other game? Details. Be specific as you can. I would REALLY like to know! (... thatta way...

vveedd Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hello Desert Dave. Nice to see you again. :cool: I can’t see how your question is related to point of this discussion but I will tell you – I DON’T CARE about editor, modders or anything related to this. Never really care and never will be. I didn’t open SC2 editor, not even once and never will. My only concern is gameplay in singleplayer and, most important, in multiplayer, PBEM especially. This other game is not perfect, (no need to tell you, you already know this as I can see) but it has potential. Guys are working hard but they made same mistake as Hubert did; they didn’t include gamer population soon enough in development. Many of Expansion Pack features me and many others have suggested to Hubert while SC2 was in development. For commercial point of view Expansion Pack is maybe good move but still many of these features should have been in original release. By the way, as I know, in this other game, EVERYTHING is editable. Not from editor, every original game files are editable but I will say again; I DON’T CARE. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 @weed --- Tokin' that bong, eh? I'm with you on the "Just say no to editors", not my cup of tea...but some of these other dude's have made some cool mods. Thrawn's megafest is interesting. I'm currently getting ready for CEAW. -Legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaric Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 maybe better games in the market are SC2 and upcoming CEAW, i are a turn based fanatic speaking for me, anyway maybe you may find interesting a pc remake of mithical "hitler's war" as freeware (i think) and can help waiting for CEAW a little, well, i are playing some scenarios on SC2 but this is just my case, not much played it for now, hope to have time this summer for play both games nice and amazing games of 2007 to my personal account... hitler's war link... http://homepage.eircom.net/~monalisa/HitlersWar/ hope you enjoy it, with best regards, alaric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Dave Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hello Desert Dave. Nice to see you again. :cool: Same here. Though, I can't SEE you, merely Hear the, ummmm... defensive tone Of yer 2D voice, ah, That's alright, Since - NOBODY really "knows" Anybody else, nope, Even if they been trading smack or blather For 5 years or more. I can’t see how your question is related to point of this discussion... EVERYTHING is "related," even when The seeker/searcher doesn't know That it actually is. Until much later in Life, usually. I DON’T CARE about editor, modders or anything related to this. Never really care and never will be. I didn’t open SC2 editor, not even once and never will. LOTS of folks do. Now, more than ever, Thanks to the most amazing! Editor you shall ever witness Thence SC2-Weapons and Warfare Becomes available... notso long From now, or So I hear, tho, as with ALL else, I could be wrong. However, I appreciate your common fear Regarding - trying some thing, ANY thing... that is new. It's what is causing so much grief And consternation In the World community, IMHO. And too, Many are the number who are like you, Well, in this particular way anyhow, And prefer to let others make those Mods for them. North Afrika, Battle of the Bulge, Air Assault on Crete, Etc, etc. Heark! I am in suspense just now! Can we make uniquely scaled MAPS, As for those scenarios Listed just above? With that other game? Just wondering. Guys are working hard but they made same mistake as Hubert did; they didn’t include gamer population soon enough in development. Where've you been the last 5 years vveedd? Parsing out the stems & seeds? Folks on this here forum have been expressing Quite explicitly, Many and multiform requests all along! What did you miss? Worse, does that worry you? :eek: For commercial point of view Expansion Pack is maybe good move but still many of these features should have been in original release. Didn't you realize? EVERYTHING, darn near, is "commercial," These latter days. That which is not - and, cannot Be bought & sold, well, Those sorts of things are THE most valuable, Ach, We save that discussion for another day, eh? As for the other comment, nope, nix nay, There ain't one single thing I've EVER heard tell of... that Should be... other That what it - IS. Could be? Sure, you bet. Might have been? Well, who wants to dwell on what's Long ago gone? Commercial? Well, they ain't puttin' much in at start, So I must presume that MOST Of what else is necessary To make a decent WW2 GS game Will come later? :confused: With what kind of price tag, No one can tell. From my readings it sounds as though, This is a pretty rudimentary version, With plenty of "basics" (... as with complete Polish sovereignty) yet To be inserted, yes? By the way, as I know, in this other game, EVERYTHING is editable. Not from editor, every original game files are editable but I will say again; I DON’T CARE. :cool: That YOU do NOT care Is well established by now, no need vveedd To lather rinse and repeat. However, I am - same as any other potential Buyer, VERY concerned to know just HOW That "file editing" might be done? Easily, And intuitively, With a few simple mouse-clicks, As Hubert has done it, One would hope? And so... the DEMO will let Whoso is actually interested (... based on fleeting flimsy knowledge thus far enumerated by, ummm, rather reluctant-to-reveal immoderaters) - finally, KNOW all about 'em nuts & bolts, As well as IF the game is balanced And has a robust AI, And whether it tends to crash & burn, And the like. Good luck! With yer future testing! May be you will do some good For the real-deal, Get it when they SEE it... gaming crowd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borsook Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Originally posted by Desert Dave: Can we make uniquely scaled MAPS, As for those scenarios Listed just above? With that other game? Just wondering. Editors are handy but most games are modded by hand, lack of an editor does not in any way prevent mod creation as long as the developer chooses to "soft-code" instead of "hard-code" enough data. And it looks as if the game in question will be very moddable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

targul Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Not sure why you continue to think the general population is unhappy with SC2. I have played and watch the boards of most of the WWII games and this one has the least complaints I have encountered. Having played it for over a month now I am extremely happy with the game. Well balanced, good AI and turn based. The mods I have tried are awesome. I really love Advanced Third Reich. I have played 2 PVP games. One with a friend and that one is fun. Played one with someone from the board which convinced me to never play this game PVP with anyone but a friend. Reason is people tend to play only to win. They do not recognize there is suppose to be a history related to their actions. That maybe fun for some but when I want to play a fantasy game I play Civ. The only improvement I would like to see would be reprecussions for ahistorical behavior so that those who do wish to avoid history must face some consequence for their actions. Anyway, of the over a hundred war games I own at the time this is the best and I am anxious for the expansion and really happy to see the developers are continuing to produce product for there old work.

mustang96 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Excellent news Mr. Cater, i have played SC2 so much that with out a doubt, this has been the best money spent on a computer game for me! I will gladly put my money down for this expansion pack! I think i read that there will be commando's, what exactly will there role be? I can wait for the release but any hints on how soon? Thanks Mustang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
