Llyranor Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Since Doomsday is everything HoI2 is with more features, I would wait. The features are the primary incentive. The price is just a nice little bonus http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=srmr&pa...PC&title=872786 (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanschu Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I was intrigued with the editor as well. Though I have already learned the basic scripting language for the events. I'm curious what else it will do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Of course if a whole bunch of us were interested in playing I wouldn't mind an MP game either. Though I'll probably contribute as much to it as I do to the Civ games " Though MP games of HOI can sometimes be silly without some house rules. Germany doesn't really stand a chance if a human is playing both USSR and UK. A ton of metagaming can occur if people want to be like that, but it can hinder the Axis pretty extensively. Nothing like having the US join the Allies in 1938 to ruin Germany's plans for conquest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new scenario starts in October of 1945 as the Soviet and Western Allies first clash. Soviet attacks against the Western positions are countered by nuclear attacks launched from Turkish air bases. From here, the outcome is pretty much up to you. ... Sounds brilliant.

Llyranor Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 1936-1953 should be a pretty fun session to go through, especially through coop. I also love the fact that you can switch nations on the fly whenever you load the game. Makes for very cool situations.

alanschu Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Yeah, you could give yourself a really good challenge by building up a country in a particular way, and then right before the conflict starts up, load up the other side. I've never tried the coop same country though. I can imagine it'd be very useful for many of the majors, as the UK has conflicts on the home front, as well as Africa and India. Germany has a two front war, as does the USA. It sucks to miss some action on one part of the world while you're taking care of the details of an offensive in the other part.
