Dimitris,
Thanks for the intro and video, very cool. Several months ago I took advantage of the free 'tutorial' offered and ran into what I would describe as movement snafus. First several turns went very smoothly but after about 4 or 5 turns I had units refusing to move and ships disappeared. Not all, just a couple. I never was able to complete my tutorial. Not sure if it was me or the results of early design issues.
Having said that, I loved the game, the potential, the strategy, the detail, the scope and opportunity for major diplomacy and interaction the game system promises. At that time, the tactical field battle was hinted at but not ready. I did engage in a couple 'strategic' battles which I was happy with.
So I'm guessing the game is out of Beta and running live. I realize that they have only recently began running commercial, can you tell me how many games are up and running? 1,2,3?
Several questions about 1805.
Has the tactical field battle replaced the 'strategic' battle? I'm assuming the tactical field battle is between players? If so, possible between more than 2 players should the situation call for it?
Is the tactical field battle ran between strategic turns?
Are nations chosen as players join or are they randomly assigned after you get 17 players?
What happens to a nation when a player drops? tactical field battles? etc.
Do you ever start games without a full 17 player compliment?
And, what is the cost of playing 1805? Any additional fees? field battle fees? etc.
I am a big fan of the Napoleonic era and was happy to see a Oplon Games offer.
thanks in advance,
tony
