Scourge of War Waterloo - data di rilascio

Ciao,

Vi invito chi ha steam ad entrare nel gruppo steam(per chi c'è l'ha) http://steamcommunity.com/groups/sowwaterloo , è solo una prova di 2 mesi ( tempo della famosa patch ) , se non attira giocatori nuovi ( internazionali ) la chiudo , poi più avanti la posto anche nel forum della matrix e del gioco per provare a raccattare qualche giocatore solitario , ma prima di farlo speravo di aumentare il numero con noi per non linkare una pagina fantasma.

Buona domenica a tutti.

 

La vendita dal gioco è attiva su Steam

 

Ciao a tutti,

in concomitanza con il rilascio su Steam, il gioco e' stato patchato alla versione 1.0043!

Qui il changelog:

V1.0043
• Patch Notes
• Fixed a bug with building “best” detail level on MP map Options settings.
• Fixed a tooltip text error on the Status item in popup.
• Fixed language errors in WL03 text.
• Fixed the La Haye Sainte occupy bug reported for WL04.
• Added missing units in the scenario introduction text for WL01
• Fixed the bug where Probe button was in an incorrect location on the toolbar.
• Added missing unit status tags in languages other than English.
• Fixed a bug where the end of scenario time for MP02 was missing.
• Fixed a bug in cavalry column reserves formation.
• Fixed the bug with some missing cavalry division ammo wagons.
• Fixed errors in about-face flags for some LVL6 infantry and cavalry formations.
• Fixed the bug that caused the “Compose Courier Message” screen to close if a courier message is received.
• Added two corps level formations per army. Corps movement is now possible through the in-game context menu or via the movement map. The error messages in SOWWL.log are of no significance.
• Added an “Additional Details” option to the OOB screen in main game. This is also used to see the unit summary at the end of battle.
• Changed the “Compose Courier Message” screen so that full names can be seen.
• Changed tooltips to dynamically re-size courier window.
• Added a courier message “Send” button to the OOB window.
• Added the full manual in Italian.
• Corrected uniform usage issues with Dutch commanders.
• Implemented a new Line-of-Sight battle starting formation.
• Increased the starting distance for LOS Sandbox battles and road battles in the Sandbox campaign.
• Restricted the advance of scripted French officers in initial stages of WL06 so they don't approach too close to enemy lines.
• Changed the scripted formation for skirmishers at beginning of certain Waterloo scenarios.
• Amended some cavalry parameters to reduce unrealistic results in cavalry vs. cavalry melees.
• Updated the Windmill model.
• Fixed the spelling of a number of officer, unit and map names.
• Reduced the stance auto-activation distance to 150 yards from the enemy for all troop types. The player has maximum control at this setting. The player must decide if and when to activate the AI full control without using TC by choosing a stance which provides for greater control over cavalry and artillery.
• Improved cavalry movement, edited attack distances and damage calculations.
• Improved infantry combat maneuvers, square formation\leaving square and unit overlap when near the enemy.
• Improved square vs. cavalry dynamics: squares can be formed at smaller distances, but now cavalry can try to break them if they are still in formation phase (when there is at least one sprite in movement) and at short range.
• Improved skirmisher behavior and reduced the maximum number per brigade.
• Some improvements to the combined arms unit strength calculations in the campaign AI and also retreat/regroup time.
• “Hold to the Last” stance now forces fewer autonomous movements by the AI for infantry and cavalry.
• Changed artillery wagon AI to auto supply batteries at divisional level.
• Updated the “Full French” mod to include corps fixes.
• Added a fix for the British/Prussian artillery wagon sprite clash.

 

Scourge of War su Steam è scontato del 10% fino al 26 novembre.

 

Ciao
Purtroppo non ho avuto ancora il tempo di scaricare l'aggiornamento di SoW e volevo sapere se ora a fine battaglia compare il report dei vari soldati uccisi/feriti, i punti guadagnati ecc. ecc. un pò come era gia in Gettysburg.
Grazie Angiel

 

Non c'è stato tempo di completarla, è in fase di lavorazione; comunque i dati delle perdite sono esportabili su un file csv a fine battaglia che si può vedere con excel

 

Grazie mitra per l'informazione, aspetterò ancora.

 

Signori, vi metto sotto l'elenco un po' piu' dettagliato, rispetto al changelog ufficiale, delle modifiche apportate da Mitra all'IA nell'ultima patch. Ha fatto un lavorone per aggiustare non solo alcune storture ma anche per aumentare il realismo.
Sicuramente oro per chi conosce il gioco ma interessante ai piu' per capirne la profondita'.

Campaign AI

• After retreating from a battle there is now an 8 hour delay before the next action can happen (reset from the start of a battle)
• AI decision to Retreat or Fight changed - AI now takes into account the composition of opposing forces - for example a mixed unit comprising infantry, cavalry and/or artillery can now decide to attack a stronger force composed of only infantry; or a cavalry force is now less likely to attack a similar sized infantry unit.

Divisions & brigades

• Divisional deployment orders no longer force a fortified brigade to leave the fort.
• Correction divisional play problem.
• Stance activation at brigade level reduce to an max of 150 yards from the nearest enemy: more control on the units until the last especially for the artillery, to the player the decision to give a stance in advance to the unit in order to activate the AI control
• If the squares are ordered at brigade level, the battalions of brigade will not leave this formation automatically in any case

Ammo Wagon logic

• Ammo-Wagons will now automatically search-for, move-to and refill its divisional guns.

Movements and Overlapping for the infantry (note: part of these actions are processed only with a stance assigned)


• Inside the 200 yards range from the nearest enemy, the path is checked if the unit has a friend ahead of it: angle and distance of check are variable according the unit formation and distance (line is under a heavier control than column).
• Check of path for line or LOS blocked unit inside the fire area.
• If a brigade has at least 1 unit engaged, then the other units will naturally form their stance placement orders.
• A unit in line overlapping will progressively move back 10 yards or make a lateral movement left or right
• A unit in column overlapping will try to move 50 yards left or right or behind according to where it finds space.
• When an enemy is close, the distance to check for friendly units in front has been increased. In general this improves control of and close by friendly before a movement is authorised.
• The enemy distance modifier that controls deployment from march-column to line/attack-column has been increased.
• A unit will try a get away movement (avoiding S movements) when a critical situation develops:
1 At the end of a Fallback movement at place of run to the destination like before
2 overlapping, blocked and flanked at the same time
• The possibility of a unit stopping on-top of a friendly in a fire area has been reduced.


Infantry Tactics

• When attacked by a stronger force at bayonet the possibility of a runaway effect has been increased.
• Unit aggressiveness increased, especially against skirmishers and artillery. (More chance of a column attack).
• Short-distance approach works better if the path is free
• If there is space after a melee, a battalion can reform in-line.
• A square will break if it is charged when not fully formed (at least 1 sprite in movement).
• A square can try to form at shorter distances from cavalry
• Square will be not formed for long distance danger (>150 yards) if the unit checked is not in movement and it is not the direct target of moving cavalry
• The space checked around a square has been increased to 60 yards to reduce overlap possibilities.
• If a unit cannot form a square the following possibilities are available:
1 Search behind for the best defensive ground to run to.
2 Retreat or getaway after different types of morale tests or if still in march column and the enemy too near or charging and not possibility to deploy
3 If in line and volley ready, wait for release of volley.
4 Start running back if enemy not too close.
5 If charged when in column, then retreat.
• More flexible leaving square logic.
• Infantry that are near the enemy but cannot directly attack, will reform an assault column if the stance permits it.
• The action area of a brigade officer has been restricted (battalions sent less distant from the officer).
• Priority has been given to forward advance.
• The possibility of a more aggressive advance at short distances has been increased.
• Added the use of: lateral, lateral advance, pivot rotation in particular restricted cases.
• Columns, if no advance is possible because of friends ahead, can try, if the space is free, to move right or left of actual position for a range of 80 yards (at the condition they’re inside a range of 150 yards from the brigade commander)

Cavalry Tactics

• Attack range has been decreased to an average of 250; experience, horsemanship and edge-weapon increase this distance while fatigue and morale decrease it.
• More aggressive
• More fluid pursuit\melee routines.
• Cavalry can try and attack squares if the square is not completely formed and near to the attacking cavalry (50-60 yards at the moment to decide the charge).
• Checking for stop when friend in-front before an advance is improved (skirmsihers are ignored also if they're in the path).
• The sequence for a cavalry charge and getaway if charge not possible, has been improved.
• Improved melee results for cavalry melee

Skirmishers tactics

• During a pursuit, skirmishers will not move too far from the parent unit, if they do they will return closer to the parent unit.
• The number of detached skirmishers from a brigade has been limited to a reduced number defined from the stance (from 1 to 3-4) at the same time.

Artillery Tactics

• An artillery piece that is limbered but the battery is in action will search for a more open location if it is not possible to deploy in perfect line without overlap (stance related)

Hold to the Last tighter control

• Hold-to-the-last control is now much tighter, being much closer in operation to the unit being TC'd (please note that hold-to-the-last and all-out-attack are the only stances where the AI has no autonomy). The following changes have been implemented:
1 No automatic movement when in enemy proximity but out of target range apart from reforming the brigade line.
2 Squares will remain in formation even with no cavalry near, only returning in line if underfire.
3 Wheeling while under fire is not permitted unless flanked (valid for units in brigade player controlled).
4 Cavalry will not attack until the target is under the 100 yard charge range distance.
5 Advancing fire and other offensive movements are blocked when in musket range.
6 Volley fire will only be released at the perfect distance or until the unit is not under direct fire.
7 No skirmishers

 

Ma dove lo hai trovato sto elenco?

 

Sul forum NSD.
Mitra l'aveva preparato per l'uscita della patch.
Con le mille cose che fa probabilmente si e' dimenticato di postarlo qui.

 

Il prezzo in download e' 44,99 euro, e' già scontato? E' meglio aspettare il Black Friday e gli sconti natalizi che di solito Matrigames effettua?

 

Non so Sven puo' darsi.

In questo momento e' scontato del 10% per l'uscita.

La promo termina tra circa 24 ore, domani alle 19.

 

Quali sono le migliorie (se ne avessero fatte), rispetto ai vari SoW della Guerra Civile Americana? Ovvio che l'epoca e' diversa e quindi anche qualche meccanica lo sarà, ma intendo proprio al motore, all'Ai, alla grafica ecc. E' cambiato qualcosa?

 

Ciao blubasso, per quanto riguarda il motore di gioco credo sia grossomodo lo stesso di Gettysburg con le opportune e ovvie modifiche alle meccaniche di gioco.

La grafica è stata migliorata rispetto al predecessore rimanendo pur sempre basata su sprite in 2d su mappa in 3d. Hanno fatto un lavoro enorme sulle uniformi e in generale i soldati sono meno squadrati rispetto Gettysburg. Anche le animazioni mi sembrano più fluide ma non so se dipende dal cambio di pc che ho fatto o se da una miglioria del gioco stesso.
Tieni presente che siamo comunque lontani dalla serie Total War come animazioni ed effetti.

Così come siamo lontani come prestazioni dell'AI. Stavolta all'opposto però.

Diciamo che la base di partenza era già ottima e in questo titolo è stata ancora migliorata e affinata, sempre secondo mio modestissimo parere.
Quando gioco partite in multi faccio fatica a capire se sto affrontando un giocatore umano o magari una divisione comandata dall'AI e questo credo sia tutto dire.

Poi, come si dice in questi casi, tutto è perfettibile.

Ciao

 

dal primo punto del regolamento

cioè no topic spezzatino
un topic lunghissimo in cui si parla di qualsiasi argomento riguardo un gioco non è utile per il forum perchè risulta difficile o impossibile poi cercare informazioni specifiche in un topic di decine di pagine. si deve creare un topic per ogni questione.
non abbiate timore di creare un topic anche se per una sola domanda, ogni nuovo topic riguardante una richiesta di informazioni su un gioco arricchisce il forum

chiudo questo topic in quanto ha terminato la sua funzione, che come da titolo e open post riguardava il rilascio (allora prossimo) del gioco, vi esorto per il futuro, come dalle motivazioni sopra scritte, a creare tutti i topic che volete su questo wargame.
