2 things that i really wish to see in FOGII

[MrCrow]

Hi all,

I don't know how many people play in this way, but i like to start the game, go into the custom battle section and simply click on "create". Sometime i also play the campaigns, but i prefer to play random custom battles because each time is a surprise. To paraphrase a popular film quote, life is like a (sand)box of custom battles, you never know what you're gonna get

Anyway, playing the game in this way, i really wish to have a new feature in the custom battle section: the chance to set both armies on "pot luck" but setting also a specific time frame. So, for example, if i set 0AD-500AD, the game will randomly chooses 2 armies from this time frame.

But there is also something else that i really wish to see in future: a DLC that cover a time frame previous the 1000 BC, something that will have Hittite, Assyrian, Ramesses II Egypt, etc

What do you think about this 2 ideas? Am i just dreaming or not?

Thank you

This feature already exists. You just need to set the date range at the bottom of the "Own Army List" window.

This is already planned.

Thank you Richard for your answer!

Oh, sorry. I haven't noticed it. I thought that the date range was only a selector to help finding armies in the armies list. I was not aware that it could be used in combination with the pot luck.

This is already planned.

Great! This is a fantastic new!

Do you already know approximately when it will be released?

Slitherine don't like to give too much away until they make an announcement.

Slitherine don't like to give too much away until they make an announcement.

So, any clue to when there will be an announcement?

But seriously, I had given up hope for a bronze age DLC. So, good show!

I expect the announcement will be announced a few days before it is announced.

Count me as another person especially eager to see FOG II go further back in time!

Very dry. I like it.

As a software engineer, I must admit that it is a very wise strategy

Keep up the good work, this game is a true masterpiece!

Best regards,

Maybe you can answer if I put it this way: will the ancients DLC be released before all the medieval DLCs are released or after?

Yes

So, with the Swiss done, we’ve reached the age of pike and shot.
Can we now finally expect work to be done on the Bronze Age?

All that has been publicly stated is that there will be a DLC each for Bronze Age for Ancients and Balkans-India 1320-1500 for Medieval, time and order of release have not been revealed.
