Tactical Wargamer Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Do I have this correct. WEGO is only in PBEM and the archaic hotseat ? Man the last time I played hotseat was with Charles's Flight Commander II. Still have a copy excellent game. Never seen anything to replace it yet. Ok I digress. If no LAN in WEGO like CMx1? Really that hard to Program? If not then maybe in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Well it hasn't made it yet. There was talk of a "halfway solution" of TCP/IP WEGO but with no replay option, but I'm sure we have covered this to death elsewhere several times already. The simple answer is "CM:BN has the same network support as CM:SF". I sincerely hope TCP/IP WEGO with replay does return but no sign of it yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I played a Civilization IV game in hotseat once. That was a looooooong game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeatEtr Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I reckon there will be lots of things repeated in the new site/forum since some never followed CMN in the CMSF forum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Sure, but despite it being Christmas and all, I'm not sure why someone who contributed to the previous discussion wanted to raise it again and wasn't interested enough to post the link themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Sir. I didn't remember the WEGO LAN aspect. Secondly I do not really know how to do it. I take it just copy the link? That simple....never did this in 9 years. My apologies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPB II Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 +1 for WeGo TCP/IP even without replay from me, it was the way me and all my friends that playd CMx1 spent 90% of their time, the rest was in quick battles that are making their comeback....hoping to see TCP/IP restored to it's former glory. Also, atleast in Finnish gaming magazines it was one of the praised key features of CMx1 and something that was raised up as a serious negative concern in every CMSF review. I gave this some thought and came to the conclusion that this is one of those unwritten things. I've read Steve's posts regarding WeGo TCP/IP and I don't really see it discussed much on the forums, yet every person in real life that I've been converting from CMx1 to CMSF has brought up how great TCP/IP quick battles were in CMx1, the thing that made it reach classic status, and it's a huge bummer they aren't there anymore. Also, like I mentioned, all the Finnish reviews I have read point out the omission and substract it from the overall score. Don't know if it's a cultural thing but atleast the Finnish CM scene lived and breathed TCP/IP quickbattles. PBEM is seen as archaic and clumsy (it is if you want to do normal paced gaming!) since we all playd PBEM VGA Planets since it was a huge deal in the largest gaming magazine back in, uhh, 1991. My opinion is that if there were 2 important features that caused CMSF not to reach the similar classic status were the quick battles and the TCP/IP WEGO. The horrors of 1.0 or the modern, more niche setting are nothing in comparison. This is coming from someone who played each and every CMx1 title to death (CMBB the most 'cus it had Finns and it was the decisive, epic front of the war) and bought CMSF the day it came out, found it a wee bit unplayable, helped troubleshoot QB and ATI bugs, stopped and then came back a year or two later, bought all the modules and CMA and is loving them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can alos use the "insert link" command (the chain and globe above) if you want to copy the link and give it a nice name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 +1 to TCP/IP "without" replay, because that is what is needed to get in the replay at one point. +1000 to TCP/IP "with" replay. they day this is in CMx2 i will declare to a personal holiday day from then on every year. oh i cant wait... . multiplayer as it is now is all but fun to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
