Chaplain2 -> CORE mod (10/29/2003 4:39:10 AM)
|
CORE is an ongoing mod by a worldwide team of serious historical wargamers. It is currently in 0.62 beta and played by hundreds of gamers. It adds numerous technologies, political events, nation-specific AI's, equipment designs and models, etc., to the basic HOI (1.05c) engine. It adjusts the counter-mix to reflect WiF colors (the design of the game is WiF-inspired) and dramatically enhances the historicity of the game. There are specialists working at every level worldwide on the CORE mod, and each iteration is fantastic.
Honestly, if you've never bought/played HOI, you're missing out. I share your intense dislike of "real-time " games, and yet HOI is as far from an RTS as it's possible to be. I think the catch-phrase "real-time" was simply inserted by the marketing types.
Well, anyway, I won't belabor the point - but as someone who is just as passionate about turn-based historical wargaming as you seem to be, I would hate to think that you're missing out on a great game.
And just in case the moderators drop in - I have UV! I love it! I'm planning to buy WitP and Empires in Arms! matrix is wonderful! (There, did that do the trick?)
