To End All Wars Introduction Video

Video di introduzione di To End All Wars; la mappa è identica a quella di World War One in tutto e per tutto e molte novità sono copiate pari pari. Il sistema di combattimento mi sembra lo stesso dei sistemi Ageod normali e quindi pochissimo adatto al periodo: troppo poco astratto, troppo poco dettagliato.



Nel frattempo proprio per nascondere le similitudini ed eliminare un concorrente, l'Ageod ha chiesto a Steam di ritirare WW1 Centennial vantando diritti di distribuzione che non ha. Sono in una querelle legale ai danni di una piccola software house e dei fans di World War One per nascondare la poca fantasia di To End All Wars.

Hannibal Terror of Rome recensione

Su La Gazette du Wargamer trovate una recensione di Alea Jacta Est Hannibal Terror of Rome. La somma della recensione è che si tratta di un'espansione ben fatta con qualche pecca minore.

World War 1 Centennial Edition

Segnalato oggi in vari siti: sembrerebbe una versione improved di Ageod World War 1 La Grande Guerre. Sembra l'Ageod abbia ceduto i diritti ad una casa minore che ha deciso di migliorarlo e distribuirlo su Steam. Non è ben chiaro fino dove si spingano i cambiamenti\miglioramenti: il gioco è un capolavoro ma era anche afflitto da problemi, che l'Ageod non aveva più voglia di far correggere (anche perchè dovrà uscire il loro gioco sulla WWI), e solo la buona volontà di Calvinus aveva permesso l'uscita di una serie di patches. Un grosso problema era il multiplayer che via LAN era non fattibile con la gran campagna e il PBEM richiedeva ancora molti test per correggere i problemi.

Comunque ecco il link:

Hannibal: Terror of Rome rilasciato

E' stata rilasciata la nuova DLC per Alea Jacta Est, Hannibal: Terror of Rome

http://www.matrixgames.com/news/1450/Hannibal:.Terror.of.Rome.Released!

Hannibal: Terror of Rome is a true simulation that puts you in the place of the main commanders of the Ancient World. You will be in charge of building, managing, organizing and maneuvering armies, whilst taking into account the economic, military and political situation. The game is built on the renowned AGE engine and offers a comprehensive level of detail and historical accuracy.

The game features five historical scenarios:

The First Illyrian War(230-228 BC) sees Rome opposing the aggressive Illyrian pirates and the Greek cities of the South in the Adriatic Sea. To contain the pirate’s activity, military forces were sent by the Achaean League and even Rome. For the first time the Roman consuls focus on the East.

The Cisalpine War(225-222 BC) confronts Rome with a ferocious Celtic tribe. It’s time for revenge as these Gallic warriors sacked Rome in 390 BC.

The Second Punic War(219-201 BC) is a major campaign that starts even before the clash between Rome and Carthage; with Roman legions fighting in the Second Illyrian War, and Carthage finishing its conquest of Hispania…

Cannae(216-201 BC) begins with panic in the Roman army after its catastrophic defeat at the Battle of Cannae. The scenario starts with the withdrawal of Syracuse, Capua and Taranto from the war in Italy. The situation is critical!

Scipio Africanus (211-201 BC) narrates the Spanish campaigns of the best Roman general of the war, and his final fight against Hannibal in Africa.

Note this is a stand-alone game that does not require the Alea Jacta Est base game to play.

Civil War II patch 1.03

Uscita la nuova patch per Ageod's Civil War II. La patch può essere scaricata qui:

http://bit.ly/1guHffX oppure tramite l'updater automatico

Qui il change log:

Gameplay / Game Logic (improvements & fixes)
Development level reduction done by regional decisions was not working.
Land mine decision can now affect cities, not only forts.
Messages on decisions with tests and conditions reworked so they are easier to understand when not successful.
Ability sending command points modifier to subordinate stacks had a bug resulting in double modifiers sometime.
New option added in Menu\Options to play with ‘hidden activation’.

Database
Some abilities icons fixed.
* Added models and units for new flavor unit (USA Flotilla Bde.)
* Changed Mussel Shoals to forbid navigation up the Tennessee past the river region

Interface
Combat Power indicated on each map counter will be the sum of all combat powers of all stacks of the region.
Combat Power and the 3 gauges (hits, cohesion, Supply) only appear on enemy counters if there is at least 2 extra detection points toward the enemy stack.
Replay feature makes a comeback (experimental support!). If your current turn has a replay, then invoke the console and type loadreplay. Once the console has finished loading, you can hit space to start/pause/resume replay or hit escape to abort it.

Historical setting and events
Additional flavor units added at historical time: Cable Brigade, Texas Greyhounds, Waul Legion, Iron Cavalry Bde, Thomas’ Legion.
Sioux uprising event improved.
Fixed missing images (Kentucky)
Fixed texts (e.g. Virginia commissioned)

AI has been improved on sending supply wagons and artilleries.

Game Balance
Several tweaks for CSA and USA.
Things that would benefit CSA:

2) Add 2 more cotton warehouses to the CSA, for a total of 5 (New Orleans, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, Wilmington).
3) Add 4 barracks (New Orleans San Antonio, Macon, and Raleigh).
4) Add 6 VP to CSA production by increasing Objective value of New Orleans, Charleston, Savannah and Mobile.
5) Double troops from mobilization options
