USSAmerica -> 2019 Matrix Holiday Sale is live (11/26/2019 2:49:00 PM)

Guess which game that we all know and love is on sale for $16.00? [X(]

Yep, 80% off sale for AE. [&o][&o][&o]



BBfanboy -> RE: 2019 Matrix Holiday Sale is live (11/26/2019 3:11:51 PM)

Awesome price! Let me think who I can get addicted and I will buy it for them for Christmas!



USSAmerica -> RE: 2019 Matrix Holiday Sale is live (11/26/2019 3:44:12 PM)

I already suckered one friend into buying it. [:D] Told him this sale is like a crack dealer. [8D]



Stardog765 -> RE: 2019 Matrix Holiday Sale is live (11/26/2019 4:49:09 PM)

I avoided buying this game for so long but no longer can I resist at $16 :( God help me!



Whiskey -> RE: 2019 Matrix Holiday Sale is live (11/26/2019 5:11:11 PM)

Surprisingly, I have just came across this game recently and watched some youtube videos for research purposes and decided to buy the game when it went on sale. And to my surprise it went on sale today.....now begins the learning curve of this game. Purchased the digital and boxed (to be shipped). Let the games begin!!!

BSG -> RE: 2019 Matrix Holiday Sale is live (11/26/2019 5:23:01 PM)

Yes!!! it seems like i've been waiting forever for this to go on sale but it's only been at most three weeks ! i can't wait ,are there any other games simlar in scope to this and even better than this on the Matrix store that i should look at during this sale ???



Alpha77 -> RE: 2019 Matrix Holiday Sale is live (11/26/2019 5:29:59 PM)

For "scope" this is the biggest one and for this price a "no brainer"...War In The West/East also must be pretty huge...

.. for other games I liked the AGEOD system, even if a bit outdated by now and totally different to AE. Not sure if these games are also on sale. And you can get also some games "for free" (more no brainers) especially Steel Panthers.

Edit, here a review of the WW1 game "To End All Wars" I would like to try it, as I found the American Civil War games quite good already:

Look at the nice map and the nicer unit/commanders pics [8D]



nelmsm1 -> RE: 2019 Matrix Holiday Sale is live (11/26/2019 5:32:19 PM)

Well can’t pass it up at this price. I hopefully retire in about 31 months so maybe by then I’ll have it figured out enough to play



Tanaka -> RE: 2019 Matrix Holiday Sale is live (11/26/2019 5:36:16 PM)

I will never understand why they don't sell this game on Steam like they do GG WITE and WITW. This game has such a great following and I would think would sell as well as those games do?

Bad news, even veterans playing it for years have it not figured out 100% [:D]



nashvillen -> RE: 2019 Matrix Holiday Sale is live (11/26/2019 6:09:50 PM)

I know another WW2 pacific guy who is also buying at this great price. Hope to see him here soon!

rustysi -> RE: 2019 Matrix Holiday Sale is live (11/26/2019 9:23:18 PM)

Heck, for this price, maybe I should just buy another copy.[8D]

11 years after release - pretty good record!



IdahoNYer -> RE: 2019 Matrix Holiday Sale is live (11/26/2019 11:22:01 PM)

Looks like a heck of a sale! Any recommendations for other games.....while we wait for PBEM turns to come back?

I read that. I found this bit highly amusing:

Unfortunately turns can take a hell of a long time to resolve, which can make the medium to latter stages of the game a frustratingly slow experience. It's not uncommon to have to wait a minute or two for each turn resolution.


The entitlement generation is so impatient.

I'm also a big fan of Distant Worlds: Universe, Idaho. If you're a fan of space games or 4x games give it a look. It's also on sale for $15. [8D]

That's actually pretty hilarious! [:D]



demyansk -> RE: 2019 Matrix Holiday Sale is live (11/27/2019 12:56:19 AM)

I am getting the game, 16 is good

Also, welcome to canuckgamer, who I am hoping finds his way here from the original game forum:

THIS is the best part of the review, while reading it I thought what 10 minutes or what? Then he says 1-2 minutes [X(] I need to continue my game in AGEODs Civil War2 which I bought half a year ago in a sale from another site. I mean this is somewhat smaller in scale then the whole Europe in WW1 but the waiting times there are ok.Also the AI is (with limits) among the better ones in strategy games. Sometimes it can surprise you and doing ok supplying and massing it´s troops. Annoyingly does a lot of raiding which is mostly cav being not esay to catch or contain.

It crahsed twice for me, but there was a fix found on the forum. However after so long time such a fix should be in a patch. That fix makes it run stable like SPWAW and WITPAE. Because I read from crashes in the Napoleon and WW1 game. One can hope that also an easy fix or patch exists making these also run stable like ACW2.

Well I have not the fastest PC (most parts being from 2010 or so) but it is good enough to run such "older" games better perhaps then brandnew PCs when it may go TOO FAST or does not run at all... even SPWAW (with the enhanced update that has a Win7 fix) runs fine on my PC.

And btw. there are a bunch of good games on sale quite cheaply...

Price in this case is not a problem (with some games costing only ca. 10€!) but time playing these games, with 1 PBM and 1 AI of AE I can barely manage.



Jorge_Stanbury -> RE: 2019 Matrix Holiday Sale is live (11/27/2019 12:16:32 PM)

any interesting new game out there?

I haven't buy anything in ~1 year; it might be a good idea to get something on sale

Distant Worlds has been on my hard drive for a while - I'm a fan, just haven't played it recently. That's the problem, I do own a good bit of Matrix titles....and usually focus most of my gaming time to my WiTP PBEM.

But I'm still looking for another title to get! Perhaps I'll look at some older titles I passed by - Scourge of War Waterloo has an appeal. So does Grigsby's Eagle Day Bombing the Reich, which I've thought about getting every Holiday sale. And last, Flashpoint Campaigns Red Storm is another one I've thought about, but never pulled the trigger on. Decisions....decisions....

For potential Australian purchasers, the price is $AUD 26.20 (subject to currency movement).
