Pike and Shot

They can even recode ancient warfare Field of Glory into this and dump the old FOG computer game.

I would prefer 7 Years War or Great Northern War. Ancients, Napoleonics and Civil War were already played to the dead

Naaa..

We need more of everything Pre-Napoleonic.

Has the Great Northern War been mentioned as a possible expansion to this?

Based on an Historicon conversation a couple years ago, I see an opportunity for DLC in the P&S era, but they surely want to use the "already in the can" FOG:Napoleonics rules in the near future.

17th & 18th centuries first, plz?

Mainly the 18th, I suppose.

By-the-by, if you haven't found it, pressing shift-3 gives a lower-angle view of the battlefield.

Solved one of my larger gripes during the BETA.

A 'Wot I Think' review from RPS. Curious of what you guys think of it.  This is a game I'm considering getting.  Thanks.

Overwritten (then again, who am I to judge), but pretty well spot-on, I think me.

Also, you can get the views he refers to with the shift-3 I mentioned earlier.

Battle visuals don't include corpses or lowered pikes.

That's what killed it for me...these strange looking block style units with their pikes straight up in the air all the time...no...I can't stand that

A link in the comments of the RPS review of the game had this clip

That really sets the scene for the game, if you like jazzing up your enthusiasm before playing.

Ugh.

Yet another review with way too many Panzer/Tiger references that have nothing to do with WW2.  ::)


Maybe some of these people should just go fap it to Tiger porn before writing and get that nonsense out of their system?

[Cyrano]

I'm more a Panther-porn fellow myself, but your point is taken...

 Is this the French version of "The patriot"?

I always thought Conde won the battle.

The graphics are specifically intended to reflect period woodcuts of battles. The battlefields do indeed look very much like contemporary illustrations. Combined with the watercolor style terrain its a nice, albeit different effect.

They said that they are going to try and insert battle debris and casualties in a future patch.
