I hope the 30 years war one includes the ECW.

Still searching for a release date for Sovereignty.  I'm starting to wonder if it's being pushed back to 2015.

More specifically, here's what one of the developers posted on the Matrix board yesterday"

QuoteFirst of all, the tutorial needs to work properly. Then the game needs to be enjoyable to continue to be played by beta testers. You can sign up when we feel a beta is feasible if you want and test it.

Therefore, we don't have a release date yet.


I wouldn't count on it this year.

Thanks guys.  Yeah, that pretty much confirms what I was already starting to suspect.

From Space Spector:

"Sovereignty: Crown of Kings is still in Alpha with an expected release date set to Q3 2014."

I will take this as gospel and request time off from work now.  ;)

One of the developers posted that there will be an announcement and an application on the Matrix site when they are ready to start beta testing.  I wouldn't mind getting into the beta on this one, but given that we're 2/3 of the way through the 2nd quarter of the year, 3rd quarter seems very unlikely.

Agreed.  That, combined with all the delays Sovereignty has seen already, gives one a strong sense that releasing it in Q3 would be rushing things. 

I know that they can't delay the game forever, but I *really* don't want to see them push this one out the door too soon.

Maybe Q3 2104 will be the release date, after all it is the official estimate. I did, however, gain the clear impression from the Developer - Tim van der Moer (Lordz Games Studio) that he is keen to get the game "right" before release. Personally, a later release wouldn't worry me. I'd rather see Tim have the latitude to get the game "spot-on", or as near as, before release. He is creating a game with some really interesting ideas. I'm excited by it, and like you too I hope he is able to get it to the standard he is hoping for on release.

Definitely up for a 30 Years War game. I'm hesitant about it using the BA engine but I may be judging it too harshly. I've only played BA for about an hour once before deciding it wasn't for me.

FC: Southern Front and a AGEOD game about WWI that is less complicated than their current offering are pretty much definite buys for me.

I came here to say pretty much the same things. I simply could never appreciate the BA games, but I'd love to see what they do with the 30YW and that engine. And I'm stoked about the WW1 AGE game.

Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Found this on the Strategy Core website about Pike and Shot.  It includes a single screenshot. Not sure if it had been posted before or not.  http://www.strategycore.co.uk/news/of-piercing-discharge/

On a purely academic note, I'd be interested in what put off those people who couldn't get in to BA. Always looking to improve our games. Feel free to PM me if you don't want to wander OT.

Cheers

The more I see of this the more I want it. Hearing that it's the core of a system rather than a one-off is even more encouraging.

I didn't care for the cartoonish graphics and the fact that the missions all appeared to be scripted.

So you prefer procedurally generated missions?
