A REALLY Interesting Preview Of M2TW

[Perplexed]

Basically, as I recall, every turn represents two years of time but characters will only age one year every two turns - so basically they live four times longer than they ought to.

Yes, it's anomalous, but the idea is that since turns aren't numbered by years, you won't notice it.

When it comes to the point that CA hides a crucial part of the gameplay so that we won't notice the flaws in the new system, something has gone very badly wrong...

Hopefully it will all be moddable... Though the aging of generals could easily be hard coded item. Still it is hard to be overly critical until you actually see it in action...

I would hardly call the aging of generals a crucial part of the gameplay if the passage of turns won't be relative to time anyway. It's a trivial problem, albeit I am a little concerned as to what purpose this serves, but it remains trivial. And I highly doubt they would let it go unmoddable.

If they're not going to indicate the year at all () then I suppose it doesn't matter that much. However, it seems strange that in a supposedly historical game in which the starting year and the ending year are clearly indentified, that the year would not be shown...
