Brother against brother

[Rayfer]

I'm very interested in this game. There is just so much gaming greatness out now that some titles can unfortunately fall through the cracks. Some of us picked up titles in the Matrix Easter sale...for me it was War in the West, a huge and very deep game. New titles will just have to wait awhile.

And if you want to see how this battle can be fought in Brother Against Brother, you can read this detailed AAR http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3835927, in which Zakblood – one of the most loyal Beta Testers of the game - plays on both sides using historical guides to better show you how accurate and challenging this game can be!

LOL.. well I loved FoF, but the fixed resolution was a bummer!

Agree.

Did some searching in Matrix forum but didn't come across an answer --

Is Brother Against Brother still locked in FoF's low resolution? Can't recall what that was offhand -- 1024x768 perhaps?  The screenshots sure look that way, and it's discouraging.

[JudgeDredd]

I hope it's not locked. However, the screen shots I've seen are so similar and rather pixelated (unit sprites) that I fear it is locked. Perhaps not to 1024x768 like FoF

As I said - I do hope not.

Erik - is this going on Steam? This isn't a deal breaker - unlike the fixed resolution - but just asking.

I don't believe it is locked... look at the screenshots on this AAR:   http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3835927

I see screenshots at 1920x1080.   That said, it would be nice to get an official confirmation.

Screen shots are nice and big in the aar!

[Gil R.]

No, not locked.  Normal resolution!

I'm glad someone asked, because last night I made a horrific discovery:  in the Matrix forum I began a FAQ thread five years ago in which I said the game was likely to be in fixed resolution, and I didn't update that when the resolution issue was resolved.  Also, at the time I posted Windows 8 didn't exist, so I didn't list Windows 8 as one of the OS's that can handle the game.  So, if anyone has been left with the impression that the game won't run on Windows 8 or at normal resolution, that's not the case.

ok - I'm in!  O0

there is just too much gaming goodness coming out lately....need more time :o

[JudgeDredd]

So is this going to be released on Steam?

[Rayfer]

Agreed...but for me it's a need for more time and $$$$$$$$.  :-[

[GJK]

It appears from the AAR that turns are 20 min's in length.  With that, it also appears that orders can be created, distributed and implemented (without fail?) within that time period.  Is that accurate?

[JudgeDredd]

I actually won't be in on day one. Funds.

But in the words of a terminating governor - I'll be back  ;)
