Rules-Editor?

[pzgndr]

From the Wargamer interview:

The game also includes a map, scenario, and rules-editor, and an easy download/upload system. It allows players to get new maps, scenarios, and rules from the internet.

Could we get some more information about this rules-editor feature and other editor capabilities? Computer games generally have rules hard-coded but perhaps selectable, such as Space Empires where players can toggle a variety of rules on or off. And most games have selectable options for different gameplay. Will EOS actually allow players to create their own unique rules-sets?? THAT would be cool. :cool:

The game rules are stored in a single file. This allows players to have several different rule-sets on their computer, let's players pick which set of rules to use, and, yes, the game does come with a rules-editor. The rules of the game define the technologies, units, buildings, initial units, etc that are in the game.

So, the short answer to your question, "Will EOS actually allow players to create their own unique rules-sets??" is yes.
