RTW release date

**Essex_Cohort** · 09-09-2004, 15:42

Just fingering through my latest copy of PC Gamer magazine, and i notice they have a release date of 24 September in mind. Hopefully a week earlier than the last ditch 1st October.

Also, i noticed it said, that CA were considering recently, so late to the official release, that they might do 6 month turn arounds in the campagin, rather then the usuall 1 year. Although they said this would mean adding new weather effects(snow on the campaign map), plus the fact that historicaly battles usally occured during the summer. A bit silly to be considering that so close to it's release dont you think ?

Theres a post mentioning RTW is supposedly going gold today! and if thats the case... that release date looks about right

So theres no weather effects on the campaign map?, thought i saw snow on some pics of the campaign map.

I swear I heard that currently the system was 2 or 4 seasons not one year. If u look at some of the pics there is snow on the campmap. Maybe they are considering changing it from summer/winter to 6 months?

It is 2 turns per year, summer and winter. And it certainly isn't going to change now

did you deliberately not comment on the going gold? or just "forget"

Well, i was quite concerned when i read, and i quote...."What's even more remarkable is that Creative are still deliberating over this feature so late in in the game's development" PC GAmer magazine.

At least i can rest assured that you have decided now, for definate
