While i have contact to many of the socalled Oldtimers ;) Im sure, that many wont come back, even if the game would fit our style better again.

Like u can say, i dont say the current game is bad, for some it is and for other not.

The problem is, i mentioned that already, that the basic mecanics didnt changed from 2000 to now! U still have an army, u still got some opponents and u still have all the factors around, hills, trees, fatique, shooter, melee, cav....

While other games improve more and more, simply as the better computer allow a lot more things now. STW in 2000 was already a top product, there were a few things which could have been improved, but nothing what the performence of these computer at this time would had limited or not allowed.

TW is stuck, this said... I doubt many of the older guys will come back, no matter if the game gets a lot better or not.

I like to look forward and not backward all the time. Im sure, once a different TW game which fits my liking, i gonna play 1 or 2 days in the week a few games, but i doubt i ever again will play with the same intensity i did back in STW. There are many other games, which are awesome.

Blizzard announced the Starcaft II.... hell, this game will have more tactical deepness as any of the latest TW games ever had.

Yo man :D i played geddys with mag some evenings, its pretty old game, all i remember are slow movement and a lot less speed than i was used to from STW...


Back to topic.

Wishlist ;)


the com is far from interesting, i know people who was wellknown in the community and left as mod the com forum...

I just can agree with puzz, CA know what the problems are, if they want they could change a lot, what would satisfy like 5000 Mplayer.....

There lay the problem again, they had to spent endless cash to solve the problems for just a handfull customer.



I wish a game based on the engin we had with STW, the great bonusses, the routingpoints, the penatlys.... the whole feeling.

Now add, some improvements like:

fog of war - introduce new kind of units = scouts
Fatique points on the map, points where ur units can regain fatique

just think outa the box, if u limit these points, u would have tactical points where u have to fight about, there wouldnt be attacker/defender anymore, unless someone sit on such a point :D

Ammo reload points..

Unitrefreshing on Kaserns maybe

Rankbonusses for player, like u win 1000 games, and u gain a special unit, not too big bonusses, just some small....like a scoutunit with some increased speed.


There are tons of systems, how u can make the basic game more interesting, not just for people who already play it, also for new people who never player a TW game online before.

But first ofc, CA need an own server! the current system is terrible. Not to mention the lag or the computer u need to play this game properly.

Some great ideas there Koc,

I agree I mean look at BF2, just add some medals and you'll have people hooked till they get all the virtual medals at least - I mean gaining medals for heroic victories is right up TWs alley, and to the people who say pfft who would want virtual medals - well clearly looking at BF2 - a load of people - you could get cav/inf/ranged you name it, and then yeh some very small unlocks that give just a small tac advantage...


bottom line is these things havent been thought of at CA cause they dont care to think of them... other than graphics the game itself in its entirity has regressed.

well, ur right ofc ;)

But it was a "wishlist" ;)

In all the years, we had many ideas, most was good some was superb. Im not the guy, who is able to say what is easy to implent and what is a problem...i leave that to people who are smarter than me...

I just know that the current TW idea is old. Leave out the current engin and the current game, i speak about the generall idea of TW.

Imo u have to go around and look at other games and take some of these ideas and make it ur own kinda. Fog of war is nothing new, but it could be some more spice in this game.

The medails, u call it, u can gain ranks, u can get some special units and u will see much more people hugged to the game, yes...thats the whole point.

The current game has 1 very weak point and thats the completly missed competition! I miss the laddersyestem, it had its problem, but the basic idea was insane good.

Get Tourneys up, made on own CA server... There has to be some kind of "must play battles", means if u wanna gain a certain unit or rank u have to win a certain map 5 times as attacker....just example, but u can see the point.

Force people to play certain army setups, make em play certain maps...

There is a huge potential in this game, i dont really care about the socalled "imbalances" this can be changed, once this is done the whole game is only about the entertaining factor. People leave this game much easyer, since they cant find any challange.

There has to be goals, like in any other good game.

Mag and me made so many nice questlines back in STW, we used a mod to analize/count the stats and made u play 7 games in a row, where one of us played the defender and "u" (or whoever) had to attack and win without many losses....than we counted all 7 battles and u got an overall score...

We had bridge battle, we had also a castle battle. It was hard to get the armybalance right, but it was hella fun and a great challange.


Just an example... but u see the big point.

PLaying only "battles" where u won or lose, but noone can really compare how good ur is against human nature. We wanna compare, we wanna /flex and brag and we wanna be best!

Ofc we also want to have fun, but u need to fulfill the basics to get people love the game...

Anyway, CA cant even fix lag after 6 months... There hardly ever will be any improvements concerning online play within CA ;)
