IronWarrior -> Should I buy? WitE 2? (2/24/2015 6:55:49 PM)

Hey all... wondering if I should pick this one up. WitP:AE is probably my favorite game ever made, and so far I enjoy WitW. I know there are issues with the air war in this one from browsing the forum, and I keep seeing mention of a WitE 2- is this something in the works or just some wishful thinking? Been searching the forum, but can't find answers. Trying to decide whether to buy this one and am a fan of 2by3's games. If a WitE 2 is planned, I might wait for that though. Cheers and thanks for any insight/help!

If I understand the comments about 2*3's plans then WiTE2 is some way off. They seem to want to do at least 2 more games based around the WiTW map/game system first.

With the current beta, WiTE is in good shape. Some things will frustrate, esp after WiTW (such as the much simpler supply system), but its still a great game and very engrossing

Thanks loki- I've been enjoying your AAR's btw. Been very helpful and great to read. :)

Too bad I killed it [:(]

Great game, really enjoying it so far. Really tough on my old red/green colorblind eyes though- especially the rail damage toggle and sometimes the soft factor info. :D
Any mods or ways to change this? Inconvenient on the smaller scenarios, but wanted to start a GC. Without this info (rail damage), just seems like it would be impossible to attempt.



RedLancer -> RE: Should I buy? WitE 2? (3/2/2015 9:09:28 PM)

Jison's mod has different rail damage display.

Thanks so much!

Now, to go see about one for WitW... :D

Edit- thanks again for below! Will give that a shot. Cheers!



RedLancer -> RE: Should I buy? WitE 2? (3/2/2015 9:39:31 PM)

The overlay art is compatible (RailStatus-zXX.tga files in ART/UNITS) but in WitW you won't be able to see the rail usage shading. Jison's mod will help with the soft factors too.

Make sure and use the 'RainyDay' mod to the Jison awesome map mod, it makes it just perfect. See the main map mod thread at the very end of it...
