Martok Colonel Posts : 4019 Joined: 4 JUN 2005 Location: US, Minnesota Status : Offline	Just read the press release on the front page. Sounds promising, at least on the surface. I'm a little surprised Kalypso is doing a 4x game, though -- I thought the genre was a little outside their wheelhouse. Aren't they the ones who did *Tropico 4?

Aren't they the ones who did *Tropico 4? Haemimont Games* has done Tropico 3, Tropico 4 and First Templar. Kalypso hired them to make these games and got the licence for the game. They did create a couple of studios (one with people from Ascaron and they have done Patricians IV and are working on Port Royal III now). Kalypso is the head...but they're not actually doing any games. They hired very qualified and experienced teams which allows them to bring out many good games. Anyway...the game is a mix of turn-based and real-time strategy...will buy that one for sure.... Thanks Martok for the info (should i be thankfull? i am a junkie and you give me a new toy!)

Nefaro Colonel Posts : 4641 Joined: 6 OCT 2003 Status : Offline	Good to hear they're doing Port Royale 3. While the Patrician series was the base they started with, it just doesn't compare to the variety and setting of the 17th century Caribbean. Frankly, I'm surprised they still even bother making Patrician games about the Hanse and not just focusing on the Caribbean pirate age. Must be some serious demand for Hanseatic trade league gaming over there in Euroland. __________________________ Are you brave enough for 640kb?

Martok Colonel Posts : 4019 Joined: 4 JUN 2005 Location: US, Minnesota Status : Offline	*Originally Posted By Kid* Looks Real Time The press release says the game is a combination of turn-based and real-time (I presume the latter applies to battles), which is just fine by me -- I rather prefer that formula in my grand strategy games. *Originally Posted By Anguille* Thanks Martok for the info (should i be thankfull? i am a junkie and you give me a new toy!) Well I'm a 4x addict too, so I guess we'll just have to suffer together. [ ] *Originally Posted By Ashbery76* Uninspired press release and screenshots is not a good start. I agree there's too little information, but I'm not prepared to be pessimistic just yet. (And I agree with Anguille that at least the screenies looked decent.) Much will depend on the learning curve, replayability, and the AI, I think.

I am a big total war fan so this may be good. It will be interesting to see if I can stand it after sins. The other thing I do not like is the seemingly limited ship chassis. It seems the more weapons customisation you get in games the less ship classes you get. Its kind of pointless. Medieval Real Time, Mount and Blade style Historical Combat.

destraex Global Moderator Posts : 6192 Joined: 8 MAY 2001 Location: AT, 3D Status : Offline	from what i am seeing it just may. It has a bit of limited Z axis apparently so you can attack ships from above and below. It has subsystem attacks with the right research like homeworld as well. Now I wonder how boring multiplayer will get though.... Medieval Real Time, Mount and Blade style Historical Combat.

Info on LoP was pretty thin at first, but the devs have since been releasing quite a few tidbits on the game...and I've liked most of what I've seen so far.

For instance the latest trailer did not look as smooth as it could have. I have been assured that the game is smooth as silk however. Medieval Real Time, Mount and Blade style Historical Combat.
