Very true. The stock version of RTW is unrealistic with too much micromanaging, and it just becomes flat out repetitious after about 5 turns. EB is like a whole new game.if it wasn't for modders creating Europa Barbarorum there wouldn't be anything worth playing at all in RTW, IMO.

I would certainly envision that if this GB release is successful and we can keep making games, that we would do Waterloo. I cannot imagine a reason not to. We have a ton of people that play the game just waiting for us to cross the ocean. So if we continue our course, I would expect Waterloo to be on the horizon. It just makes sense.

what i like most about it -- and ultimately, what i love most about our game right here -- is the attention paid to historical accuracy. the vanilla version of RTW is like the movie version of history, while you have some serious ancient history buffs working on EB, down to the instruments on which they play the different background music.Louie Raider wrote:Very true.

On a more serious note, I cannot see how gettysburg would fail or disappoint you in sales, It is the best ACW simulation to date.

This is great news indeed. Civil war buffs have their great war simulation and now we need ours lol.I would certainly envision that if this GB release is successful and we can keep making games, that we would do Waterloo.
