Hell - new TBS game from Matrix/Slitherine

[Staggerwing]

[
JH said it had S for Slitherine for the prefix - so I "humorously" guessed the engine what called "Holistic Integrated Terrain Engine?"

? No?

Now I get it.  ^-^

Easier for Americans to get it if you realize having the word Engine at the end is redundant :P

Hey, we can't help it if we are thrifty and don't waste extra vowels on curse words. Think of how much profane energy could be saved and channeled into good works!

So....how is it? Either you guys are so taken by it you haven't posted here about it or you're already off playing something else.  :P

[-budd-]

yea i'd like to see some game play vids.

Ahhh,  Legion II.  It's our White Whale!  Trying to build something that really moves it all forward is a pretty huge task :(

That said, I've just put a new set of functionality specifically designed to allow for campaign layers on the current battles out to some developers.  In theory it would allow the building of pretty complex layers that then feed in to either prebuilt or skirmish battles.  I think we'll see some cool stuff built with it.

I know...been asking since Spartan  ;)

Hope dies last.

Anyway, while i will purchase this game i am sure, it would be nice to see some ancient wargaming with this engine...

Oooo!!  YES!

Legion 2?  Sure!  Spartan 2?  Even more so!  O0

Some Ancients/Classical stuff along the lines of P&S/BA2 would also be welcomed.

Hmm, I wonder just how much is moddable in this game?

I'm doing a Sengoku Jidai mod.

It it easy to mod? Graphics, stats, etc? For example, instead of Hell units could I convert it Civil War battles?

You should probably get Pike & Shot for that.  Less modding required than Hell.

Just to add. When you want to make Civil War battles out of Pike & Shot, you just need to change unit skins, unit stats (men, equipment, quality, morale), OOB,  and make the battles. No need to really change the rules as opposed to using Hell as your base game.
