Really sorry for the poor information abou...Hello,<br /><br />Really sorry for the poor information about the game...<br />Team is very small and it is difficult to talk about the game before releasing a next version with all features finished... <br />I prefer to spend my time on the game, not on the marketing.. and I know it is not the best for the game.<br /><br />That said...<br />a) Internal engine begins to run very well after several months for fixing the major bugs.<br />b) we are working on the new GUI, new 3D models, improved AI (Great Tactical, level Division/Brigade for a better control...)<br />c) graphic engine for supporting the new 3D models, new animations...<br />d) new building<br />e) new shell for launching the game (probably release before the end of this week.. just a problem with XP)<br /><br />No really time for talking about the game. Again, I know it is not the best in this world... but I am no sure we can find another game with these features... which are beginning to run very fine.<br /><br />Scale 1/1 will be operational on a next version. We are to redefine the buildings to get the good density of houses for each scale level.<br /><br />HistWar : LG... a new patch is ready. I have to verify all files are within the "installer"... this patch will be for all versions from the initial one (1a)... and a lot of files have been modified/adjusted...<br /><br />Sorry for my English.. I hope it is clear.<br /><br />Thank you for your support...<br /><br />JMM<br />HistWar Designer <br /><br />PS: "Interestingly, many people speak about the game not being finished or having major bugs ... But I rarely see people posting about what specific problem they are referring to (?)." it is my problem... that said, the beta test team thinks it is the better release built since the first HW version...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01698364296286671201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055491912637469469.post-21513553543575577482014-07-09T09:49:36.259-04:002014-07-09T09:49:36.259-04:00Hi Doug,
One of the most overlooked things about ...Hi Doug,<br /><br />One of the most overlooked things about the HistWar series is that it includes a lot of abstractions. Showing the 3d troops in such detail and the losses in translation certainly do not help to overcome a sense that everything is modeled in a high fidelity environment. :)<br /><br />Hi Anonymous,<br />In HistWar Napoleon, the minimum ratio is 1 virtual soldier representing two actual simulated soldiers.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />J<br />JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770262108283393835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055491912637469469.post-18719464883232382712014-07-09T04:25:33.466-04:002014-07-09T04:25:33.466-04:00Hi JC quick question: Does Histwar Napoleon Now ha...Hi JC quick question: Does Histwar Napoleon Now have a 1 to 1 scale for troops?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055491912637469469.post-61484978081703618692014-07-08T20:36:11.285-04:002014-07-08T20:36:11.285-04:00Agreed JC - I'm not sure what people are reall...Agreed JC - I'm not sure what people are really referring to. Most of the video I've seen of the game looks pretty finished.

I'm tempted to get into LG again.<br /><br />Hi Doug,<br /><br />I don't know how it will work for you. I don't see any major breakthrough update coming up immediately, so why holding up? But I understand your desire of not wasting time into something you may consider unfinished.<br /><br />Interestingly, many people speak about the game not being finished or having major bugs ... But I rarely see people posting about what specific problem they are referring to (?).<br /><br />The other two games, I still don't know what to make of them. There are interesting designs and features in both. But the pace is too fast.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770262108283393835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055491912637469469.post-20430161221128208702014-07-07T21:22:06.702-04:002014-07-07T21:22:06.702-04:00I'm trying to decide if I should pull the trig...I'm trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on HistWarN - which graphically is looking quite nice, but I'm not sure if the bugs are really hammered out - or waiting for the Scourge of War engine to release their Napoleonic game. <br /><br />Meanwhile, Frank Hunter is about to release an upgrade to Campaigns on the Danube. That should really make this gem playable again. Fantastic Napoleonic campaign game.<br /><br />I'm starting to enjoy Ultimate General. The latest patch fixes a number of my gritches with it. I do find myself pausing it still, though not as frequently as I was.<br /><br />I'm really glad Battleplan was cheap. It's interesting, but seeing the entirety of First Bull Run rush by in less than five minutes seems broken. I get that they want a quick and easy game, but the current state of the game means I'm likely to not bother with it much.<br />Doug Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782846735047080442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055491912637469469.post-52929937621709102682014-07-07T13:43:18.446-04:002014-07-07T13:43:18.446-04:00Histwar LG I believe.

However, I've read too much frustration from fans in JMM's forum about the new Napoleon version to purchase it.
