Strange way of doing it. I initially read it as the early access module being $20 and you get the full map later or later you pay $40 in ealry access when the larger map is available even if its still early access.

I wonder what the reason was for the devs deciding to release a smaller map first. Must be a vast area to model?

A real shame as even if players do not play multiplayer a lot practise single player knowing that one day the opportunity to playnwith friends or against them is an option. That is usually my philosophy when buying games. I want to know their is something more at the end of the single player experience with it's often limited AI.

You have a lot of competition in this area of which most have multiplayer:
Warno
Combat mission
Broken arrow

Plus a tonne of operational level games that often have multi

I will stick to warno but know that I would probably like your game better if it had multiplayer coop.

Sea Legends is finally on steam to be wishlisted.
This game has been in the pipeline for many years now and is by the same devs as naval action.
I love the concept of a more detailed ship interior than naval action, but at the same time the role of Naval Officer's closest facsimile is Privateer Captain. Because of this ship sizes will be more like sloop size or smaller probably up to a maximum of frigate.
You won't be collecting ships in this one and there seems to be no multiplayer support. I remember originally the devs mentioning originally that some pvp elements like drop in enemy players may be present but no mention of any multiplayer feature at all.

This thing after all these years is still goong to be early access and their boarding mechanics (which were a sore point in naval action) will be kept a secret until it is out of early access.
The game is now slated as a traditional no instances self contained game.

I am pretty excited about this one still because I am pretty sure they will do an amazing job with the ships over and above what naval action already did very well. I hope we will be pulling individual sails up and down because sea legends is described as a simulator.

Pre-orders are open for the Halfghanistan map. I was surprised and disappointed by some of the omissions from the included geography, but who am I kidding? I'll get it.

Apparently, eastern and northern Afghanistan are in the works. It is not clear to me whether there will be separate charges for these maps or if they will come with the initial SW purchase. Based on the store page, this initial module can be purchased for $23.99 now, or you can pay $48.99 for the entire map now. Both prices are reduced for EA.

Quote from: Destraex on Yesterday at 07:49:43 PMOk no multiplayer, although if it ever comes it will be my prefered wego style and I assume only one friend vs another. This game still will not make my list. Even cmx2 has multiplayer.

AB2 is based on the same foundation as the previous game, and the code structure (a work in progress since ~2005) doesn't allow multiplayer to be added easily. At the moment we don't have resources for such a monumental rework.

Quote from: Destraex on Yesterday at 07:42:53 PMI would love to know what the height maps are handled like this time around and if they need a separate screen to judge height with. I really hated that about the first game.

In the new rendering engine you can take the camera down to the ground and see terrain elevation in a way that was impossible in AB1.

It doesn't address it specifically, but the press release does say they will continue to support their titles, including CoH3, so it would appear they are keeping their existing licenses.
