Relegated to a subtitle is better than a total loss of the distinctive name Vainglory (plus we can refer to it by the subtitle).

Just do a google search with "white pride" and you know what I mean.

What, like Gay Pride?

Ah what about VICTORIA 2 that is coming out. Don't get me wrong both these companies are awesome. I do though think they certainly will go head to head. I doubt any will be crushed. I would though give Paradox the nod as it will be there second go at the time period. Time will tell. I wish lots of ...

If it means you have more time to work on the game, by all means, work and let the goodies slide. I would rather have a good-playing game in (say) 12 months than 11 months worth of goodies, followed by a half-finished game. Just my opinion, of course :D That sounds reminiscent of what I'm hearing a...

Palisadoes wrote:I think one of the big downsides with Vicky was the lack of an interactive tutorial with the game. Such complex games need a tutorial really. So, will VGN have a tutorial?

Previous AGEOD game tutorials are very good, so I'd be surprised if the one for this game was any different

Tutorial 2 Step 6 - Detaching Forces I can't seem to get the two Cavalry units (VIII Cav & I Cosak) into the same group. I don't receive the popup menu asking me which unit I want to place the second Cavalry unit into, I end up with three units (HQ + 1 Cav + 2nd Cav) in Mlawa instead of two. Can so...

Is that an officially sanctioned moderator 'stop it', or is it okay to continue being silly?

Evans

I wonder how many of us aren't 'from' the Paradox fora?

Evans

Excellent stuff, I'll try and chase up some of these books

Evans

Do you ask for the total size of military establishments, or the size of field armies? Field armies remained relatively small for a long period Both, I'm interested to know how many powers were supposedly able to field on paper, how many they could field, and what proportion of these were actually ...

Evans

I just wanted to ask (as this is the kind of thing you'd probably have found out for the game), what were army sizes of the Great Powers between 1848 and 1914/18? And how did this sit relative to population, reservists etc? I'm just wondering about the balance of power, because although I'm reading ...

A very interesting and new approach - I like it

Evans

With more control you really eliminate the issues of poor leadership, or awesome leadership, as you now take the role of Robert E Lee and George B McClellan. Very few players will play like McClellan, so the Union will win in the first few battles (one of the reasons why AACW is good, because you a...

One thing I like in Victoria is the differents flags. They change according to the political regime or to historical choices. Will there be such a thing in VN? I must say it's a very appreciable thing, a sign that details are important for the developpers. If you need some help regarding flags, I'm...

Maybe my memory is playing up, or maybe I'm referring to old news...

i still havent bought ww1 and will wait a while longer, i should hope that vgn would not be released untill it is ready to play as an aside to the earlier comments about china and the boxer rebellion, i recently visited canaerfon castle in wales, a truly amazing castle and well worth a visit if you...

Evans

AFAIK he said he didn't have the time to invest in a project based on the source code. At least, that's what I seem to remember anyway. If I had any skills and any idea of what it meant in terms of what one could do I'd love to dive in there! Game design has always interested me, but unfortunately I...

Evans

Sounds excellent - any chance of a beta test?

Evans

Is there any kind of modifier for colonies regarding manpower (i.e. racist rules regarding who can join up) and restrictions of how/what troops can be raised where then?

Evans

Sounds promising. Paradox sadly went down the TW / war craft route of build a church here and a school here and a barracks here. Stupid stupid piss poor game play. Only victoria looked to break that mould with an excellent private development of industry model and they lost their nerve after the th...

Evans

Does it have to be named "Turtledove"? :D No, 'Turtledove mod' must run through at least 5 incarnations - and each time it dies it must be suggested as a brand new idea ;) Quite how it differs from a Confederate Victory mod I've yet to determine, but I know that Turtledove mods have their own rules...

Evans

Of course there's an obligation to make a Confederate States win the war mod too

Evans

China might be challenging to play, but you would lose quite a lot of the other interesting aspects of the game: colonization, industrrialization, technological research, even quite a few elements of the Victorian age diplomatic activity... I would say Ottoman Empire should be a bit more 'interesti...

Evans

So if I'm reading right, I need to have an age of 2 and >4 provinces to voluntarily change, and an age of 3 and >6 provinces to force a mandatory change? That makes sense, as the Alemani start at age 1 :) In that case I'll just try as best I can to plunder my way through Gaul until I can set up a ki...

Evans

My point is that say in the modern world, Iran is not going to have -150 relations with the USA and +200 relations with France just because they decide to give the French a few gifts and things - France may be less hostile to the Iranians, and has some scope to deviate from the standard NATO/Western...

Evans

be sure we've been- staff and playtesters - working on it for some time - it's one of the main focus of the era and my personal main interest there's of course a balance to find between the desirable and the possible, but be sure that, whenever the cursor will end, you sure won't be disappointed ;)...

Evans

Hopefully he'll see this thread

I'll try waiting 5 years and see how that works out for me!

Evans

This is another help thread for a newbie, but it's a question that I can't find an answer for (i.e. yes I know why the tutorial anchor was grayed out ;) ). Basically my problem is this - I have a barbarian tribe, the Alemani in the main campaign. I find it very easy to take a sizeable chunk out of t...
