Yea, I don't quite understand it myself. Most of the game forums i visit over there are fine and helpful.

Its been a very long time since I played CC.  Do they support multi-story buildings in the latest releases.  It always seemed weird that CC couldn't support them when I played it.

When did you play it? I remember multi-story buildings (up to 3 levels maybe 4) being a staple of the line-of-sight since at least as far back as CC:ABTF (or whatever the Market-Garden campaign was called).

Or did you mean distinct multi-story buildings? Like, someone could get into the 2nd floor of a 4 story church (the tower top counting as 4th), instead of the tower top or the 3rd floor, for some reason.

That engine looks very doable. Also as a euphamism.  :smitten:

I'm actually scared to ask what the whinging is about.  :wow:

I meant going into multi-story buildings and having units potentially on each floor.

It's the same as with world in flames - waiting fatigue leading to waiting rage and some poor guy been dumb enough to put dates on things - they've been promised these screenshots since at least December

I saw the basics of this back in May 2014. IIRC, although I am sure there was much more to it, the key feature is the ability to alter the view from 2d to 3d. The sample Slitherine showed me looked pretty slick. I must confess I haven't heard about this project since then and thought perhaps they'd dropped it from development.

Been waiting for news of this for some time. Interesting.
Graphics look ok if a little bland for the tanks and very basic for the ground textures, walls and buildings. Guess that is why it's called an alpha :)
Just looking at it though, I am wondering whether something like steel division 1944 could almost do the 3D infantry close combat thing with more detail?
I hope the CC detailed infantry bars survived. I don't see it there yet.
Fingers crossed, I am really looking forward to this!!!
