ZONN Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Don't release this game without the same type of map editor that the Combat Mission games came with. DON'T DO IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flanker15 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I agree! A battle editor mode where you can choose terrain types and customise forces is well worth a delay! A historic WW2 RTS is nothing without a skirmish/battle mode. Campaignes only last a little while, skirmish mode can be played for years! (imagine CM without a battle mode URK!)

Reichenberg Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 As nice as it would be to have that feature......it will not be in the release version. They are thinking to release an enhanced scenario editor after the game release. Correct me if I am wrong, but there is no final word about a map editor yet. Because maps are supposed to be not as "simplified" as they were in CM - map making is not that simple either.... Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizen Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Please don't release the game before the US election day (7 Nov), as I'd like to get out and vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a history of releasing sims/games that are highly proprietary in nature and dependent on payware add-ons for additional features and content. Its IL2FB/Ace Expansion Pack/Pacific Fighters/1946 series of software packages evidences this. All are narrow in scope and lacking in "modibility." This quality of 1C's software packages is particularly pronounced when compared to other titles, MSFS for instance. In short, if you want more or better tools for expanding play possibilities in ToW, expect to pay for them later on. Likewise, if you're looking for additional vehicles or weapons types, keep your wallet open. It's 1C's game, and they'll milk it for all it's worth.

While maybe not that moddable, neither was Combat Mission, and to me Forgotten Battles came with more than plenty of content and a mission editor. Lack of map editor is a shortcoming in this type of game, but it's very different from modability (where you create totally new units to the game, not just graphics).

Shrike Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 IIRC, there were no flyable Devastator, Avenger or Kate in the PTO version!If I remember correctly, the Kate and the Devestator did not have good examples available to make an authentic cockpit. But it's been quite a while since I've was lurking around the IL-2 forums. The Avenger was a purely monetary decision. Northrop/Grumman apparently likes to protect their trademarks. My recollection of that story is that UbiSoft actually PAID Northrop/Grumman when they came knocking regarding their trademarked content in Pacific Fighters. Ubi then passed this cost onto 1C and Maddox Games. Thus, they refused to add any more Northrop/Grumman content. Don't the aviation companies pretty much throw their trademark around at model-making companies as well to rake in some fees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
