Planned Version 0.01 of VEM

**pevergreen** · 02-04-2009, 13:56

Changelog to do:
Make all factions playable.
Extend number of turns.
Rebalance ships (build time/cost upkeep)

Suggestions welcome, it looks really bad and small right now.

Just a question to get you started.

Do you plan to extend the number of turns by increasing the number of turns per year, or extending the time of the game?

Both seem desirable to me, but the second might prove a bit harder…only wondering.

**pevergreen** · 02-04-2009, 15:08

To start with, the actual time of the game. 100 years just does not seem right to me.

Most likely until 1820-1850. Something that works. 2 turns a year gives you 300 turns or so. With the increased province count coming with the map, hopefully you'll need it.

Given that most countries are represented by between 1 and 3 provinces, I'm not sure the province count will be that much higher than in RTW/M2TW, even while counting in India and the Americas.

I wonder how moddable the technology tree will be?

Because if it you are able it might be nice to incrase the number of technologies in the game. I'm sure people here at the Org can dig up loads of interesting historical tech to include.

It would also make the extra fifty years you plan to add on more interesting.

Perhaps you could also add more 'naval only' trade theatres into areas if you extend the map.

There certainly is a lot to do, but not much I can do without the game.

Keep the ideas coming!

By Make all factions playable, do you mean for both custom battles and the campaign, or just the campaign?

**pevergreen** · 03-07-2009, 02:08

As of now, doing either will be very very hard.

Most likely just for campaign, but we will see.

Am I the only one who finds everything as too fast? The infantry run like horses, and the cavalry are as fast as race cars!

Please, the speed...

**pevergreen** · 03-09-2009, 21:42

I havent found issue with it, when they run, they run, but they tire fast.

Its more realistic than RTW, thats for sure.

IMO, the Native American's run like horses. I understand they don't carry much but sometimes it seems as if they can out run my cavalry. And even if they do tire out quick they still fight with quite a ferocity.

**richyg13** · 03-10-2009, 09:24

They do seem a little fast on the whole, more so when you consider they're trying to keep formation...

I think they need to be moved to around 80% to 90% of their current speed.
