Destraex1 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I noticed Theatre of War Korea and Achtung Panzer Kharkov have a strategy map ala close combat or total war. Are their any plans to do this for CMSF? This combined with Cherry picking from an OOB would be very nice. A strategy layer always gives a nice sense of overall progress and makes battles matter more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 No Strategy Layer is under consideration to my knowledge. This has been a desired feature for a long time, but implementing it would take a lot of time that would be better spent trying to improve the core game itself. I don't know if any future CM will have a Strategy layer, but nothing in the immediate future is in the works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cid250 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Considering that CM:Normandy still will need a lot of work to be in a equal level of quality and features than the old CMBB and CMAK... it's hard to think in a strategic layer. Even if they consider to open some SDK about external public interfaces and data conections to battle setups and victory results (including status of the units after battle)... it will need the interest of a good third party developer that consider something of the scope of Combat Mission Campaigns... where details like comunications links on the field by runners, wire, radio, etc... were planified as part of the proyect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destraex1 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 damn, would have been good. Talking about runners and comms. It would be great if they were also implimented. Command and Comms in game are done well in cmsf. In ww2 it will really affect things. Comms being very different for different units 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comms being very different for different units does this mean killing the hq unit, and or the radio element of a squad could have implications? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 It is a shame as a strat level would boost both CM2 and CM1. I still enjoy playing TOTAL WAR: ROME for that reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Compared to a random battle campaign the case for a full blown campaign game is pretty weak. Sure, it'd be great, but requires a whole new game to be added to CMx2. Never likely to happen. Whereas with the addition of random megatile maps (a very desirable thing on it's own btw) and some sort of experience and equipment tracker you could get something in the vein of the Steel Panthers campaigns. Anyway, I've been on this hobby horse before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's as much an enigma now as it ever was. I wouldn't count on anything until November/December. We're expecting a name and website any day now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrspawn Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I think simply improving the briefing to properly follow SMESC would be a good enough dose of "strategic" information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
