Accessing data between turns? - 1/21/2012 3:59:51 AM

Hey guys,

Long time admirer, (almost ) first time blogger.

After a turn - is it possible to either export the CR, or review turn data? If we could do this, it would massively increase the time available to think and plan and scheme. I'd say the down time between turns is obviously the best time to do this (and fair on your opnenet as well)? Is this available or in the pipeline?

Cheers

Don

If you play a PBEM game instead of a server game, you can save your turn and plan to your heart's content. Alas, the server games do not allow that and I'm not aware of any plans to change it.

You could however take a few screenshots before the turns end.�

Blu,

I agree about the screen shots - I do that already.

The core of what I was really after was the ability to do 'research'. I would like to take advantage of that great volume of data - on production (and hence SU/unit planning), on command and control (allocation of units and SU throughout the chain of command), on eosteric factors like morale, fatigue, and combat issues that you can glean off the CR.

And yes, I do mean achieving this when playing a server game. If we had this, I could still get my turns back quickly, and at the same time between turns enjoy access to the data for better knowldge and planning.

This has been requested many times. The devs have acknowledged that it would be a good thing, but I haven't heard whether they are planning to implement it. I agree that it would really speed up turns, which would be a good thing.
