If the game shall have a significant commercial success, the 3D-Engine has to be accurate!

For us it might not be that important, but for the consumer-mass the following aspects are crucial:

- almost or total accuracy of the 3D-engine in relation to the real game-engine
- 3D realtime fighting action. Good fighting-animations, units always forming formations and firing in the right direction, falling soldiers in the very moment of hit, accurate number of dead boddies corresponding to the current battle-situation
- and me myself I am keen for divisional and brigade level orders, as well as taking command in subleader-level.

To prevent any outrageous comments: There is no need to defend JMM and his work, for I am not offending, and the game itself is already outstanding among its kind.

But I am sure that I am talking the truth, if it is about bringing in a very significant number of new players.

Greetings to the community!

As it came up on a different Forum I would like to know if the development really goes more in the direction of playability instead of historical accuracy.

If that is true I just want to say that there isn't any need to nor any way to catch up to the Total War series, HistWar should stay by its roots as a "historical simulation" because it is this what makes the game so special and stand out between all those wannabe strategy games that simply just make a show instead of really showing a gameplay with depth & historical accuracy.

HistWar keeps its initial value : historical accuracy BUT we try to improve the playability with more feedback from the game , new GUI (for HW).. and so on..
Don't worry.. I don't want to change my point of view on the game play. All initial features are kept...
The big differences between HW1 and HW2 are at the graphical level, not at the historical level...

Yes it is impressive. very impressive.

I hope this will be available and easy to buy, globally and not for just Local consumption. This game deserves more people to know this is available, not just to the wargamers but to all gamers, and enthusiasts of the Napoleoninc period.

Bonjour Mssrs.,

I Agree with Chev. Montecuccoli .... somehow HW:LG and HW:N needs to go viral to get MORE COVERAGE, it certainly deserves it after all these years of lurking in the shadows .... Facebook is OK, but only goes so far (not far enough) .... perhaps it is time for JMM to put together a homegrown, multi-lingual, digital marketing team, or seek the services of a digital marketing firm? :? .... only JMM knows for sure ;)

Je suis d'accord avec Chev. Montecuccoli .... en quelque sorte HW: LG et HW: N doit aller virale pour obtenir une couverture plus large, il mérite certainement après toutes ces années de tapi dans l'ombre .... Facebook est OK, mais ne va que jusqu'à présent (pas assez loin) .... peut-être qu'il est temps pour JMM de mettre sur pied un, l'équipe de marketing numérique multilingue cru, ou solliciter les services d'une firme de marketing numérique? .... seulement JMM sait pour sûr ....

Cordialement, DoE

Maybe some interviews to "The Wargamer", or "Armchair General", some coverage to the "cons" in other countries, here in Italy we have "Lucca Comics and Games" or "Ludica Rome" or "Play Modena" (maybe just some brochure for the "cons" to spread the word).

All should be done in a good timing "marketing is a matter of time and space"  ;)

 Is there any chance of you running a pre-purchase sale?

 Where you could get into the beta by buying the game? Or even just a pre-purchase as Ageod did for their first game after leaving Paradox. I assume it was to see how much support they would have for the game and also get themselves some working capital.

 Thanks either way. The original game was a masterpiece let alone the new one coming.
