Oddball_E8 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 anyone else notice that this forum has been kindof dead for a while now? might this be in anticipation of the patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I wouldn't say dead. I have been away for a week, so I guess there hasn't been much activity at the site at all. Though I do agree, the wait for the patch does slow things down a lot. There's no real news, nothing much else to discuss as soo many people have been so helpful in earlier posts that it is really easy for newcomers to find info. I just wish they'd get the Australian release sorted, that would help give things a kick in the pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropbear Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I think that interest in the game, or at least the initial level of enthusiam, will have passed by the time it comes out here, if it does at all. The keen fans will all have imported it and there won't be the level of enthusiasm from the keen fans to coincide with the local launch that a game this good deserves. What dunderhead let this happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball_E8 Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 that would be our beloved friends over at JoWood i believe :evil: i myself had the fortune of being friends with someone who owns a computergames store so i pestered him until he imported the game... he imported 2 copies just in case the game was good so he could buy it for himself ;o)i gave him my burnt copy to try it out... hope he likes it!

Biggles Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 i think the Australian release will be held back now until the US one. That way they can ride the hype wave and publicity that will HOPEFULLY be created. The games mags here haven't even seen the game yet, so any good reviews will attract a fair few newcomers.

Matt Helm Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I'm working on my Age of Wonders Shadow Magic campaign while I wait for the bloody editor manual that should have been delivered to us already. I am beginning to lose patience with the jerkoffs at JoWood/Nival. Why are they so incompetent that they couldn't have the English translation ready when the English edition went on sale?

dropbear Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 @MattHelm - I don't think its fair to criticise Nival for that. That's JoWood's rersponsibility as publisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Well the manual translation WAS a bit behind, and that was Nival... but I think they did the right thing, got the game out first. That's the critical thing, can you imagine the uproar on the boards if Nival had held the game back because the editor manual hadn't been translated??? Some companies never release any editing tools, or if they do they are usually well after the initial game release. But the delays now do seem to be at JoWood's end. I know for a fact that the editor has been in useable (if not polished) form since the beginning of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout Jane Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 I wasn't here for some time, and I see that the forum has advanced since the last tome I have been here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Helm Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Some companies never release any editing tools, or if they do they are usually well after the initial game release. Yes, and those same companies don't ship a game manual that tells me that the editor manual is available online "now" when it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
