Ageod, thank you for continuing to develop and perfect this system. Please, whatever you do, get Clovis involved in the AI for PON.
Cat Lord and team, Great Job!

Well done Agoed
Florent wrote:I agree here. Very good IA.
But the map, counters art (infantry, artillery, tanks...) are also awesome. The level of detail, diversity for the uniforms and weapons is fantastic. A terrific immersion as well as gigantic theater of war. Beautifull songs.
All is Epic. I will have to watch Dr Jivago again soon !!
Very few big issues for now.

Clovis, I am so happy you are taking part in PON. I am just stunned by how good the AI is. I just completed a Finnish campaign as the Finns. I thought I was winning easily. Until I ran into the three surprises the AI had waiting for me, which resulted in a humiliating defeat for my deluded Finns. I cannot remember when I have had a similar experience in a computer game.

In terms of lack of supply I can tell you that it was a reality. I have many stories about that.
One thing by the way which really killed a LOT of soldiers was typhus (he himself almost died of it).

I was reading about the typhus epidemic - also affected Red cities too, and if you look at the old photographs you see a lot of the Communist forces having shaved heads - main reason to stop the typhus and lice. Probably the same for the white cadre too.

Alexor wrote:You think ?! The only photo I have of him from the civil war is with completely shaved head too.
He was telling stories of soldiers or officers shaving their head and you could see the hair moving on the floor with so many lice in it!
Talking about attrition....

I find I get random CTD's, but the auto save is a big help here, and they are not that bad compared to some games I have played. For a version 1.00, the guys did a great job, I don't think anyone has released such a workable version out of the box for years.
Franciscus wrote:Yes, this game is surely going to be a classic.
I just barely played through the tutorials and the Finish campaign, but it's really great. The map and the graphics overall are probably the best ever in Ageod's history so far. I think they give a true feeling about the period.
What's more, as I had/have only a superficial knowledge about RCW, now I just bough Orlando Fige's "A People's tragedy", as per the author's recommendations - a great book, in more than one sense of the word .
That's what love with Ageod, they make games that entertain me a lot, they teach me History and they feed my "other" addiction" - reading about History.
Thanks
