What is this game?

**PapaNasty** · 08-27-2007, 06:28

And with a brand-new game engine.... hopefully with none of the draw-backs or bugs of the current M2TW version hehe.

I'm really looking forward to this game, but after the release-state of M2TW I won't hold my breath for a miracle (I hope I am happily surprised by what they produce though).

Hey papa nasty, what part of nz are you from?

**PapaNasty** · 08-27-2007, 08:24

I live in the Bay of Plenty, Tauranga to be exact (anybody around here able to pronounce it properly? hehe)

Whys that Bopa? You visited NZ before?

**Xehh II** · 08-27-2007, 09:22

Bay of plenty, never been there, too close to Auckland for me, is it a nice place?

This new game sounds pretty cool, what's the seven year war though? I haven't heard of that.

Seven Years War.

I beat Omanes to it...for once

Or in my words... The basic First World War, fought between most major Euro nations and their colonies. A main Prussia verus Saxony and Austria in Europe, a Britain+First Nation Tribes verus France in North America, and real good Spain verus The Dutch over here near Aus.

Personally, the 18th and 19th Centuries are my favourite times.

btw Bopa, Pikes were a major player at the start of the 18th Century, as they were there to protect the Musketeers, but were outclassed by new muskets in the times of the Austrian War of Succesion and Seven Years War.

No they were not. The musket had long made the pike obsolete, where were they in the war of Spanish sucession? Nowhere. thats right at the begining of our period.
They had not been used for quite a while. Exceptions are Sweden and Russia, but by 1700 the pike was basically gone.

@Papa
Nah, I'm living' in NZ too. The Capital, to be exact. So obviuosly we get the best weather.

we've got a holiday home up in the Bay of Plenty, possible the nicest place in NZ. With the exception of Otago during the 500.
