Hello JMM, I do apreciate your work and understand your effort, but...I am totaly confused about development of this game. I bought this game as SINGLEPLAYER game due to its declarated "GRAND TACTICAL AI", "doctrine editor features ", "control of corps in Ai vs Ai" etc. as it is described in manual and these features was the reason I decided to buy HWLG. I bought this game one and half year ago, beceause of AI, discovered it is not still implemented so i calmed down because of my enthusiasm of the napoleonic wargaming. Everytime I checked the forum for news, AI was announced to be in patch 3....I understand you would like to have more eye candy product for better sales so you proritize graphics changes, but as I said above. I bought this game due to its AI and fetures described in manual and your interviews. It is not my interest to play it online, I have my friends and miniatures to have fun with.
I read manual manytimes but till this moment I don`t even have clue what some features means (rebuild corps for example), what is implemented (for example playing as corps commander in Ai vs Ai), what is not. Sorry but I don`t have a time to dig in forums I am just customer who bought your product even in unfinished state.
Before community crucify me I would like to notice - AI WAS announced, HW LG wasn`t announced as multiplayer only game an I am not interested to join community in online battles. I don`t know what to do know, I payed for features which was announced more than year ago and it seems they don`t even be implement in the near future, despite of fact I am losing my interest due to waiting. I don`t even know what in manual is truth or will be the truth sometimes in future. JMM I don`t wish to offense you I am grateful that you are involved in development of wargames from my favourite historical period, but it still not game I thought I was buying (for the full prize) and I think as "normal" (not grognard, not online player but common father of two children with very little time to spend) customer I have the right to ask - will it be finished sometimes (as I can see TACAI is STILL not implemented in 3.x) or can I ask you straightly to refund my order? Thank you very much and sorry for negative feedback but I have enough of waiting. Without good and responsive grand tactical AI, playing against AI is very boring even with nice graphics. Thank you and have a nice day! Martin
