A google translation of the last JMM anouncment.
Too long to translate it by hand :mrgreen:




Citer
It is time to make a point in the future after this little twist which has slowed a little development during this last week

So to recap:

HistWar: The Grognards is now distributed by the company Play and Com, probably under the name HistWarGames to better identify ourselves.

It goes without saying, and it is better said that it will not affect the quality of the game This is not the publisher who produces, it is only for streaming.

Since we are talking about broadcast .. Initially, we will make available the game for downloading.
We will not be able to ensure early delivery of a box with CD and Manual ... Indeed, by the end we have to adjust the site (and here again I think this will be a surprise) and modify the program to establish a serial number associated with each Grognard (and not DRM) ...

However, very soon we will have the means to spread the box game in Europe or outside Europe (but there is a problem of cost of transport that will take over the buyer ...). The manual is available in 2 reference languages (English and French)

Furthermore, we will take steps to contact local distributors to reduce prices of transport .. but this may take a little longer.

To sum up the schedule by the end of the year:
Quote
a / manuals in PDF format for November 11 ... At a minimum, Book I and II ... Books III and IV deal with the general organization of armies and relations of the 10 battles proposed in the game could not be presented, these two books add nothing to the understanding of the game itself ...
b / The demo The Grognards by the end of November: we will find the basic tutorial and an additional battle.
c / pre-orders early in December.
d / play before Christmas.

We also aim to establish the official forum of The Grognards.
This forum will receive the 4 specific fora (English-French-Spanish-Italian) and a technical forum.
We will also, as soon as possible, establish a forum to facilitate exchanges for the MP game or PBEM.

About Buzz ... HistWar: The Grognards is relatively known ... for its long development, but it is known
If the trial reaches its goal, it will attract those who have few attractions for this new gameplay.
And I have no doubt that then, together, we can raise awareness of the Grognards ...

That's all for now ... we will try to make as much as possible so that you take pleasure in playing with the Machin ... It is a major objective.

Finally, I would like to thank you all deeply for it is at times a bit awkward that we can identify supporters ... and they are numerous. Thank you.

The team HistWar

Well I didn't discover this thread until today, and it's lovely that you thought of me, Miloradovich!  I've been tossing out all sorts of challenges to people, but to you, my Count, I think I should offer an alliance.  Let's bunch up together soon after the release of the game and see if we can't invent a way to do multiplayer PBEM against another couple of players.  Be my steadfast comrade and we'll sweep some distant field of the enemy!!

Indeed I had gone to Norway for a family birthday when BFC axed the forum.  Oh the fools!  Alors, c'est la vie.  I wonder if they could ever effect a rapproachment?  I checked the BFC forum briefly when I was there and got THE SHOCK OF MY (GAMING) LIFE at the announcement.  Fortunately I've been hanging about here too...   *shivers at the memory*

Either way, if we are en campagne by Xmas, I shall be as happy as a pig in clover!

By the way, I think we should continue to nourish and love this thread, with its distinguished heritage, well into the future.  Our greeting shall become...  "Any news?"    (Actually, if you speak indonesian, that's exactly what they say:  Apa kabar?  Wonderful people).

An appropriate time, too, for us to give thanks to JMM and testers for their years of hard work that brought us to this point.

Je ne vais pas répondre à toutes les questions intéressantes posées dans ce post... juste à la dernière..
L'install sera aux environs de 250 Mo... et cela devrait prendre environ 500 Mo sur le disque...

Ce sera ce WE... pas demain... j'ai encore quelques ajustements à faire et à préparer le package puis le charger sur le serveur... cette dernière opération prend environ 4 à 5 heures car le upload est toujours plus lent (seulement 10 Ko/s)

-the demo won't be released tomorrow but this week-end (surely saturday) because the upload in the serveur will take 4/5 hours tomorrow
-The download of the intall will take 250 Mo and the intallation on the hard disk will take 500 Mo

Nous allons mettre en place un serveur Torrent en plus du serveur ftp histWar.com dont le débit est important mais qui risque de ne pas supporter les débits sur les premières heures..

Nous vous en dirons plus samedi... mais si quelques d'entre vous -utilisateurs de Torrent- pouvaient laisser leur PC allumé quelques heures afin d'amorcer la pompe, ce serait sympa...

De plus, nous allons suivre l'évolution du chargement afin d'adapter notre serveur pour la sortie du jeu même... 

Nous avons a peu près terminé la définition du packaging pour le jeu en boite...
Il y aura une version en boite et une version collector... Nous vous en dirons plus lors du lancement de la pré-vente.

JMM

-There will have 2 server to dl the demo: the first one will be the server ftp histWar.com, the second will be a torrent server. JMM demanded that some users could let their computers running some hours to initiate the dl by the torrent server
-For the game there will have 2 box versions  8), the normal one and a collector one  8), he will say more details during the pre-sale.

Really easy...
Download "Install HistWar" from Torrent
Download a file histwar.md5 (a text file with a huge number; this file is on histwar server)
Download a md5 software... just execute it with "Install HistWar" parameter.. You get a huge number... Compare it with the reference number..
Even... Yep.. you get a good version

It seems that JMM is doing the inventory of the bugs/wishes of the demo.
