Classic Mode

[Nigel]

This seems to come from a discussion about the new features of capturing certain building on the battlefield map, which will then give your army certain buffs for as long as you hold those buildings (more ammo, less fatigue, etc.). Some players were highly against this as they feared it can lead to "building hugging" and mess up the tactical aspects of a map.

So I think "classical mode" just means that you can choose to play without effect of buildings, without allowing special units (which you have gained by experience over long time) and just offering the standard set of units to choose by the player for equal amounts of money. I would not expect it to mean, I am afraid, the classical STW1 battle with the units which were there, with all the unit stats as we had them and basically the STW1 engine.

That may be hoping too much, but you can always hope......
