Bonsoir Gents,

It is good to see some old compatriots from ANGV... my mysterious absence has now been discovered...

As for the Canons.. they are beauties, are they not?.. as soon as JMM & Laurent brush some proper paint on them... we'll be ready to rock'n'roll like old times... hahahahahahahahaha

Bonjour all mates from the BAG forum,

I loved WNLB and ANGV for it's game play but there were things that we gamers asked for but never got.
Those things will we get in Histwar.  

I'm thinking of:
-The soldier’s ratio (1/40 in BAG's games 1/3 in Histwar).
-Camera that can be lowered to ground level.
-Oob and map editor.
-Campaign mode.
-Walls that breaks.
-Etc, etc... (This list can be made long)

Even though BAG was quite responsive to gamers I think JMM have taking it a few steps further.

Bonjour all mates from the BAG forum,

.... I'm thinking of:...
-Camera that can be lowered to ground level...

I think you must understand that in LGAA 2.0 (and HistWar 1805 - 1806) the 3D camera may not be lowered to the ground level in all circumstances like it was in LGAA 1.3... I am kind of sad for this, but it is not that bad..

Usually, there will be a minimum distance above the ground  for the camera when you are using 3D view... maybe 15 - 20 meters I think... maybe more.. but this 3D view will be satisfactory...

Also, sometimes you may be able to go below this minimum camera distance.. and see from the ground level view by selecting camera lock on a Leader unit...

P.S. JMM, please insert corrections here Today, I can't say the minimum distance above the ground for HistWar! We have to make some tests to define it! And maybe, it's possible to be under this 15/20 meters.. Only a constraint : the FPS!  

BUT for LGAA V2.00, the minimum distance is like V1.X :wink:
hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Bonjour Lars...

A small comment about the ratio.. I am no sure I can get 1/3..
The objective is around 1/5.. (better than 1/40 )

Merci Lars for this list...

You have an idea to increase the HW behaviour... Maybe it's possible.. the Evolution Forum is opened...

Bonsoir gentlemen,  

About the ratio. Sorry, my mistake I was counting with 1200 troops per regiment and with 400 animated elements but of course if a regiment got 2000 troops the ratio would be 1/5. Still a significant difference to 1/40 ratio.  :wink:

The ground level being 15-20 meters is still a lot closer to ground than BAG's games that couldn't lower the camera angle at all.

Sorry for not getting all the facts right. I was drawing this up from memory alone and apparently my memory fails me.  
Luckily you guys sorted it all out.
