Replay battle turns while waiting for next turn?

Post by RyanDG »

So, I just purchased Field of Glory PC yesterday and have enjoyed the quick (and brutal) learning experience that multiplayer is offering. I do have one question though - is there a way to review or replay previous turns while you are waiting for your opponent's next move? Or how about a way to replay the turns up until the point you are at in the match once your turn comes up? I glanced around for some options but didn't find any... I know you are able to do the replay of the last turn of your enemy once your new turn rolls around, but I would think that in a long match it may be nice to be able to rewind a couple of turns before to see exactly what you did wrong to cause your right flank to collapse and be rolled up like a burrito under the weight of a full blown cavalry charge.

Just a thought at least.

Great game though. Can't wait to get my hands on my Parthian army in game. :P

Great question! I've often wondered that.

While waiting for the opponents moves I often find myself wondering what might happen and what might I do in response.... but without being able to peruse the final position it soon becomes frustrating :(

If the replay option (like at the end of the game) was available it would be wonderful! :)

Even if you could not do it during the game - I would like that option for after the game is finished. As is - once the game is finished - all you get is the last two turns. In some of my other PC games you can save the battle and go back and review the whole thing. I would love to be able to do the same thing with this one. really helps to see how the whole battle developed and what the key event(s) were that decided the battle. :D

It would also be nice to be able to skip the replay of your last move and of course to send a final comment to you opponent.
