Will the new research-teams be a great improvement?

[Tormodius]

I don't know much about it, but I suppose it might turn out more ahistorical than HOI... I guess that mosty because of these teams could be hardcoded and not moddable. Perhaps not a problem if these team qualities and their composition are event driven, which is moddable. And more importantly if AI-teams work in historical ways. here is an official statement from pc.boomtown.net :

”Research is going to be a lot easier to understand and handle, for instance research is going to focus on what you want – not the components needed to get there. The teams will develop these components automatically and you’ll be given a graphical presentation of all research, giving you a good overview. Each team will have a specialist that will speed up development of certain technologies and units much faster, too,” he says.

So how do you think it will improve the game?

they´ll prolly be modable as most stuff in paradox games

perhaps you have scientists working on projects, like Einstein and stuff!

perhaps you can give Einstein priority to design a time machine and then go back in time and plant a bomb in Hitlers brain - when he starts WWII - you build a time machine and you send someone back and then you just detonate the bomb in his brain and you've won the war!

ps = you can't just kill Hitler after he went back, because that will destroy the time traveller(there won't be a WWII if Hitler dies before he takes power and there won't be any time machine and no time traveller),

amazing !

ok, ok, ok....
I break my nda now.... there´ll be no time machines in hoi2, sorry....

Damn!

*Maximilian I get e-mail*
you brake nda we sue
from who ever sends it


Einstein worked on the nuke bomb right so i bet he would be a bouns for that

Stick it to the FAQ thread...

Ha! He's trying to fool us, he'd never really break his NDA! So, obviously, the only possible explanation is that time machines will be in the game!

I'm looking forward to the new research system, the old one is most of the reason I'm hesitant to play HOI 1 much anymore. It was just a pain in the butt to manage, but maybe that's just me.

 

[Tormodius]

At first it was really enjoyable sitting and read about techs and planning what to research, but yeah, after a while it's a pain. The worst is that oneway-priority- micromanagement-clicking-forever stuff. Arrgh!

OMG he has put it in it

yupp.

come on Max, consider what the possiblities could be of such a time machine! Why not?

Suppose Hitler finds out about the time machine and makes his own time machine and sends a robot after the time traveller! That robot should be a strong guy - and should have a German accent!

wait a minute !

 

[Maximilian I]

pff...I already have a *strong* german accent

 

[Spruce]

Doctorplague, sorry for having hijacked the thread - o

 

[Tormodius]

NP. I wouldn't care, it was fun...

I have just returned from the future (January, 2005) and I tell you that time machines ARE in HOI2, but you can't confirm it here and now due to the fact that it runs on DriectX 10.0.

It's spam galore.

hey your not the only one how did you do it i used a Celebi (read my aar and you should figer out what it is)

Actually, your Celebi was something I made possible when I altered certain events in the future which have now affected the past.

Additionally, I will be dropping periodic hints about HOI3, so if the Fluffy One wants to sticky them at the top of the discussion boards, we can all start speculating, obsessing, and complaining right now, even before we know what we're talking about! (Shouldn't be hard - we've been doing it for months.)

how do you know i am not from the future in the first place

and do you even know what a Celebi is
