borsook Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Feature request While current research system should be the default one it would be great to have an optional non-random research, where each chit bought brings you towards achieving a tech by e.g. 5% per turn until you reach 100. For some players the randomness of the current system undermines strategy (i.e. planning). This feature has been requested a few time since Blitzkrieg came out and since this may be the last version of the game it would be great to have it as an option. I also have some questions: 1. How many players will be able to play in MP? 2. Will there be a 1936 campaign? After all war in the east did not start in 1939. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi Borsook, Unfortunately we never got around to making any changes to the research system, something I am still considering though when the timing is better, but to answer your other questions it is still an Axis vs Allied game so only 2 for multiplayer and no official 1936 campaign for the initial release.

Hubert Thanks for your answer, I am glad to hear you may take it into consideration and do something about the research later one... As for the number of players - will we be able at least to delegate running a given country to the AI? that would be a great feature, making the games take up less time.

Hubert Cater Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Having the AI run a given country is now more of a possibility due to some of the internal coding changes I've made over the years but other than that the finer details still haven't been worked out on my end.

Kuniworth Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 So any news on sc3 Hubert? 1 or 2 years away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Good question and I can't really say just yet, or even an SC3 with any absolute certainty. On the other hand, if sales of Global are pretty good, then that improves the odds significantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KvP Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Borsook's idea of an optional non-random research by accumulating percentages is great!!! So everyone can choose what kind of research he prefers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
