New Shogun readme at the com

[Mongoose]

well, like i said, i will buy it once there are mods like EB out that will add dozens of factions....not really trying to whine

[screwtype]

Oh, I agree. It will be better to wait until the reviews are out, better still to wait for the mods.

I see BI not so much as something to look forward to in itself but as (hopefully) better raw material for the mods to work with.

The vanilla version really does not do justice to the games engine, i just wish more could be modded...maybe the xpac will have less hard codeing

[screwtype]

Hope so :)

Q. Which things that are currently hardcoded do you plan on changing (e.g. number of men per unit, faction limit, number of factions that are controlled by the Senate?)

A.None. The way factions are managed is more flexible now, but that's something that most people won't notice. Actually, the Senate is gone in BI; by the late 300s they were no longer a significant force in Roman politics, so they won't be 'controlling' anyone

Ok I know very little about programming but something tells me hardcoding factions numbers is probably one of the easiest things to change.

You guys might not be aware of this, but this updating of FAQs is caused by a TWC boycott threat and a subsquent Shogun promising us more updates and info.

Thus,

This is better then before, but it does sound rather evasive.


Why not just only answer the questions that they have actual answers to?

is because we told him to under the point of a sword.

huh? i don't recall anyone saying, "give us weekly updates, regardless of whether you know the answer or not".

and re" "infantry behaving like cavalry", CA don't have to trawl through every thread to know what this is about, just the "bugs" list thread.
