I can't get the 75 number serial number for my WIA game to work. It is 8:05 AM in Cheyenne WY. PS: Why would I want a Freddie the Great game? PS: I would not. I am looking for a downloadable line for WIA patch/game!! Please get on to WWI and VGN.

its easy to be smiling Raf if youre surrounded by gorgeous norwegian women in your job, but for us here in lil ol czech republic, some more info would be a nice perk to the day. especially after paradox announced (yet another) HOI game. i thought with arma, the topic was covered sufficiently.

arsan · Thu Aug 21, 2008 9:12 am

WWII is never sufficiently covered!!
Two million WWII games are not enough! :tournepas

Luckily AGEOD has resisted (still) the urge to do ANOTHER WWII game :siffle:

True. But I am sura that many of us would like a grand WW2 game based on the NPC/VGN engine. But one day... :siffle:

Yes, sure, but if it depended on me, only after... :siffle:

- A full diplomatic/military and production Napoleon era one
- And Ancients game with Romans, greeks and persians around
- A fantasy wargame with orcs and elves
- The Frederic the Great game
- A 30 years wars
- A 100 years war
- A crusades game maybe with some cool "Reconquista" scenarios with Spanish Christians and Muslims
- A south American independence wars
- A wars of the worlds VGN expansion
...
And then the WWII one! :niark:

Duckman · Thu Aug 21, 2008 3:32 pm

I guess that it will have to be November 11th as we have passed July 28th.

What?!

We have the same interests, but been spanish I suppose you meant the conquest of America :niark:

Pizarro, Hernan Cortes,... with a few horses and men vs The Aztec and Inca empires :indien:

Now seriously, a exploration and colonizations times game (XV-XVII centuries)

Not sure if that we'll make a good wargame theme. :siffle:

But, as a historical strategy game... why not?? after VGN betters Victoria, AGEOD could try to do a better and turn based EU! :nuts:

Add Ghenghis Kahn and the Mongol empire. How could such a significant and fascinating subject have been neglected so long by computer wargame developers?
AGEOD is just the one that can do justice to this subject. Imagine the potential customer base that would be interested in this: China, Japan, central asia...let alone Europe and the Americas.

Don't forget Tamerlane, either.

Adlertag · Fri Aug 22, 2008 7:00 pm

WWII game is definitely the one the Philippe(s) have dreamed of...

Clovis · Fri Aug 22, 2008 7:09 pm

Vietnam. Both wars. Frankly, most of the tools are yet working in the AGE engine. Some additional work would be needed of course but would prepare a WW2 future game. and commercially, I'm pretty sure of the success.

Don't forget a possible "Space 1889" game based on this engine.
But I know one thing I would buy blindly any game from AGEOD based on an AGE-engine. :coeurs:

I would gladly develops a Vietnam one. I played quite a lot the superb 'Vietnam' from Victory Games (if memory serves). I do indeed think that the engine is near ready for this kind of conflict: guerilla war, mostly continental (well at least only one side have the sea), 2 sides. I can see fairly easily how to implement airmobile transport and air operations, in a semi-abstract way.

No, this is not an official declaration, just loud thinking.

You could add the chinese Three Kingdoms era somewhere there, so far pretty much ignored by game developers...

Ah, AGEod as the new SPI--covering every war from every era. Would that it be possible! :siffle:

Sango2 and Romance of the Three Kingdoms are recent games.
