War in the East or West is a very good example for a very good game support.

This game is great and SOWW makes history alive. I hope the devs will support this game so well like SOWG.

This game have several bugs, this is normal for a new realeased game, but to clean out this bugs is always the first thing what other game developers do an then !! switch to other things what the game enhanced.

We reworked our system entirely for Waterloo so people needed a new SDK to mod it. This will allow modders to make much more free content for the game, cater to specific tastes, specific eras. We had alot of requests for it early on and after we released the beta patch we started work on it. People are cranking out mods on our site already. These are different maps, battle types, OOBs all available for free - we do not release the SDK to fix game bugs. As ETF rightly says we are also providing a free-of-charge scenario and OOB editor that will also lead to far more content.

I think it's a good approach to have the beta patch out there for players to hammer at while finishing up the SDK. It should give a chance for a much larger group to test and make sure critical things are caught before releasing official patch. And it allows those that want an opportunity to have the critical fixes.

Thanks
Rick

The editor is not free I've already paid for it as it was meant to come with the game.

Let's face it the game was released far to early & it should have had weekly updates to fix the bugs which are plaguing the game. I would never have brought Scourge of War: Waterloo if I new it was in such a state. It's 74 day's since I brought the game & no fixes which is pretty poor. Maybe Waterloo will be a great game in the future. I must admit I don't think I'll be supporting NorbSoftDev in the future.

I don't see an editor listed in the game features on the product page. Where did you see this?

Plenty of people modding data files here, might be worth going there to get some pointers

Well it isn't perfect but wow our groups has logged 30+ hours with it! Great enjoyment. Looking forward to mods and the scenario editor.....Patches are also very good. As long as the developers are moving forward I'm happy to be part of the process. I will take this product as is over many of the matrix games I have purchased over the last decade.

If by, 'my question', you mean your last post, then I hope that our work in 2 short months on releasing the:

1. Beta Patch
2. Scenario Editor
3. SDK

Has demonstrated that there is actually excellent patch support.
