The other Games :-)

You're welcome Conscript.  

If you think of an other question you can post it on this forum but not necessarily on this topic since this is "The other games" topic.

As the new moderator I will try to answer all questions on this forum so that JMM can focus on getting the game ready. Off course if I don't have the answer I will ask JMM to back me up.

P.S. No question is annoying as long as they are on topic.  :wink:

Hello to all: This is my first post.

I have been playing American ConQuest: Fight Back, which is a Cossacks style Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game covering the colonization of the americas up until the American Revolution. (So, right on up until the time frame stipulated for Grognards!). CDV is now planning a release of Cossacks2: Napoleonic Wars; which I WAS eagerly anticipating until I found THIS site.

Pros:
Beautiful uniforms (though limited number and types)
Beautiful animations
Ability to use formations and infantry / artillery / cavalry more-or-less-historically.
Morale rules

Cons:
Not really a great simulation, more of a strategy GAME.
Kind of a click-fest to maintain control.

The artwork is fantastic, though.....

However, I am really looking forward to the progress of THIS magnificent project!!!!!

One request - make an ability to view the dead soldiers and destroyed houses, trees, wagons, artillery, etc. as the battle progresses. If it's not too much trouble, being able to see the hoof tracks, wheel tracks, and footprints of the battlefield would be GREAT eye-candy!

I won't ask for vultures, that'd be asking for too much! :wink:

Bienvenue

yes

wagons, artillery

There are some wagons on the roads, near the Communication lines...
There are 4 kinds of cannons : 12 / 8 / 4 pounds + howitzers.

the hoof tracks, wheel tracks, and footprints of the battlefield would be GREAT eye-candy!

  I have to finish Les Grognards with the present design.. but why not some tracks in the next version.. But today, the more important is to draw a lot of 3D animated soldiers :wink:

I won't ask for vultures, that'd be asking for too much! :wink:

Why not some birds.. (no need a lot of PC ressources)
