Enough of the graphics for COG:EE are finished for us to be able to start posting some. I'll start off with screenshots showing the overview screens, the completely new strategic map (new look, 75 new provinces), and the new zoom feature on the strategic map (we also have it for detailed combat, but those screenshots will have to wait).

First, here's the English Channel zoomed in all the way (= the view you're used to).

And now for three of the "Overview" screens. First, the one showing military groups.

I'm playing England, and am uncertain about France's forces in the north, in terms of their strength and/or location.

Last one for today: the diplomacy "Overview" screen, using both colored lines and tooltips.

Beautiful, beautiful!
And I didn't even know (or had forgotten) that you were doing a zoom-feature, both for strategic and tactical maps - wonderful!

Now for the questions

:

The battle history screen looks beautiful. I assume there is a unit screen too, looking just as beautiful (right?!). My question is, is it possible to sort by the different columns? I really missed a sort-feature on the unit screens in FOF.

The flag icons for armies are pretty and they worked well in FOF, but I always thought the small men and generals on their horses added so much atmosphere to the map. Have you considered doing a "humanoid" army-icon? Like three men in line formation or a soldier/general holding the flag. It would really add to the atmosphere of the beautiful maps, I think.

Again, I have to stress, the zoom-feature is great and the full zoomed-out view of Europe is to die for. And when you're done with COG:EE I assume you start to implement the zoom-feature (and other cool innovations) into FOF, right?

And last question:
What are the chances that you will make Denmark a playable faction if I promise to completely spam the forums with requests and partitions regarding this over the next few months?
And what are the chances of it happening if I instead promise to behave myself...?

It's already possible to sort by unit in FOF, but you have to turn off the "hierarchy" button to do so. COG will also allow such sorting.

We'd like to do that at some point. No promises when that would be.

Save your energies for some other cause: we're looking into adding scenarios in which one replaces Sweden with Denmark, Portugal, Bavaria or Poland.

Looks fantastic. Being able to zoom back on the campaign map is something I'd always hoped for.

Can't wait to see the new zoom features for the tactical map.

Thanks for the preview.

Sorry, should have been more clear - I meant the unit statistics screen where you see various statistics on all your units, including kills/losses so far in the campaign. The columns here are not sortable as far as I remember.

Great news about the possibility of having Denmark replace Sweden! Although historically, it was more like the other way around...

Ahh, now I understand. We're close to wrapping up coding on COG:EE, so I don't think it will make it in -- or, at least, not into the initial release -- but you should add that to the FOF Wish List thread, as well as the COG:EE one if/when the time comes.

HiHi

Looking good Gil, one very minor point you may wish to look at for accuracies sake, on the map of England you have what is the River/estury Humber marked as the Trent R. In reality the River Trent is a tributary of the Humber flowing from roughly Nottinghamshire (marked as Midlands on your map) into the Humber about 1/2 inch (... on the screen shot that is

) in from the sea on the Humbers southern shore.

As I say a minor point, your call

All the Best
Peter

Outstanding! Can't wait - I finally had enough time recently to fire up the "old" CoG and play a little bit, and was reminded of how much fun the game is to play.

With these enhancements and some other tweaks and changes I've read or heard about, this promises to be great fun!

Thanks, Peter. In our defense, as the Humber is in fact an estuary, not a river, we felt it more appropriate to label that piece of water by the most important river whose waters flow through it, hence "Trent River", rather than "Humber". "Humber River" would have been inaccurate, and since the blue thing we drew on the map :) flows all the way to the Pennines, it represents more river than Humber. Looking more closely at the map, calling it either the Washburn or Calder might have more accurately followed the course of the blue thing--however, the Trent formed a historical division (and players of Kingmaker will recognize the name) so we felt it was more important to call it that. Redrawing the blue thing might have been possible, but many of our geographical divisions are schematic in nature (just take a glance at Germany) so we felt it was no great sin to leave it as-is. Nevertheless, we appreciate the suggestion.

These are some of the most stunning maps I've ever seen for a war game. The terrain is gorgeously rendered. Well done.
More, more!!

More soon. Pixelpusher is now working on the ships for detailed naval combat, and as soon as those are ready I'll share. And perhaps one of the testers or I will even do a naval combat AAR before too long.

Can't release screenshots prematurely. Would you believe that there are still FOF beta graphics out there on the web? Some gaming sites just run with the first screenshots they get their hands on and don't bother to replace them. (This also explains why I'm using that nifty watermarking program.)

I'll just have to find something else to do in the meantime.....

Very nice of screenshots... I would like to know how it goes... and soon to sell/update the game "Crown of Glory: Emperor's Edition" to us

Oh yes, do this require normal CoG "Europe in the Age of Napoleon" to install Edition?

Thanks.
