NEW FEATURES for next Patch



1) The automatic victory conditions may now be over ridden. In games of less than 365 days, the player must play until the number of turns in the scenario has been played. In games of greater than 364 days, if one side achieves an automatic victory, a new option is available on the end game screen, “Continue Playing”. If selected the game will then continue to the number of turns in the scenario have been played.




Bodhi -> RE: Great News! (9/4/2004 12:58:14 AM)

But what can we all argue about now?[&:][:D]




wepwawet -> RE: Great News! (9/4/2004 1:02:12 AM)

But I want a toggle to be selected at the beginning of the game!

Just teasing! You asked......

Great news, by the way. Now I can prepare my outer defenses against those yankee imperialist dogs who come to destroy our culture and pollute our gene pool by forcing themselves on our women!

So what game are you playing that models the 8th & 9th USAAFs in Britain during WWII?[:D] Just kidding.[;)]




RUPD3658 -> RE: Great News! (9/4/2004 1:15:39 AM)

Thank you for listening to customer imput, even if some of it was down right rude. This will be a nice feature to have for those who want to use it. Now get to cover before you and the patch get blown away by the huricane. [&o]




joey -> RE: Great News! (9/4/2004 1:20:38 AM)

Thanks Kid. By the way, I hear you have some rain coming. I hope all turns out for you.




Brausepaul -> RE: Great News! (9/4/2004 1:35:37 AM)

Great support, thank you.




pad152 -> RE: Great News! (9/4/2004 1:43:19 AM)

I really don't see why the victory points can't be changed with the editor, set the odds 3 to 1, 5 to 1, 20 to 1, etc.

Possibly because the victory level criteria may not be stored in the scenario database files? Apart from that it could well be that some thought has gone into the setting of the VP points for all the bases so that the victory levels give a good reflection of a game won. A toggle has been added to allow players to continue if they so desire, any players that wish to play to different ratios could always try a quick calculation, couldn't they?

GBirkn -> RE: Great News! (9/4/2004 2:50:02 AM)

Many thanks, Kid. It's great to see how this game keeps getting even better.




Reluctant Kamikazi -> RE: Great News! (9/4/2004 3:05:54 AM)

Hmmmm.... By continuing the game will we be able to control the Viet Minh and fight against imperialistic France. Maybe re-fight Dien Bien Phu in '54?


















No, I am NOT serious!




FirstPappy -> RE: Great News! (9/4/2004 3:50:38 AM)

I saw the title and I thought you just saved a lot of money by switching to GEICO!

Caltone -> RE: Great News! (9/4/2004 2:23:06 PM)

Although not a feature I would be interested in, nice to see how the team responds to the community. Nice job guys.




scout1 -> RE: Great News! (9/4/2004 3:39:44 PM)

Kid,

It is nice to see a gaming Co. that actually adjusts things for the user community. Hats off to all.

I also have to say its refreshing that a gaming Co. actually is willing to discuss a feature
that will go into an upcoming patch. Others treat it as a trade secret for some reason that has always escaped me.

I regularly surf the WITP Wishlist. If I may oversimplify, of all the various suggestions, I believe they fall into four categories.

1) User Interface/Information Flow (Presentation)
2) Game Play
3) Map Enhancements
4) Other (aka, everything else)

Given the depth and scope of this game, it can and will take a long time to play. That's both good and bad (mostly good though). However, I think part of the bad can be mitigated by many of the suggested improvements concerning in the first category.
Navigating the informatiobn flow would greatly reduce the "cycle time" of the frustrating part of the game and permit more time to the fun part (thinking and planning).
So, all that being said, has/is/will MatrixGames post a listing of the features likely to be introduced in the next patch. This doesn't have to be a definitive list/cast in stone. Wouldn't trust it anyway, things happen. But could be broken down into listings of

a) Probable incorporation
b) Want too, but may/may not make this cut
c) Want too, but won't make this cut
d) Back burner (haven't decided)

See I didn't ask to hard question which nobody is willing answer (When ??????????)
Because I already know the answer ...... It depends !

Keep up the good work !
