Matrixgames CS

[Jason Petho]

This all sounds fantastic and will no doubt breathe new life into this series, hat's off to all those who are spending their time and energies on it..... I do however have a question or two..... :soap: one of the things that has spoilt PBEM gaming with campaign series is cheating (you can deny it's a problem, but lots of people stopped gaming because of it and it used to be rife...), mainly replaying turns to get the best results, and in some cases I know of opponents who have edited the game files to change their armour stats during the game (caught by umbro during a team game - not me!!).... is it going to be possible to eradicate this sort of loophole? of couse, online gaming is the way forward, but for those of us who only have a little gaming time now and again, it's been a problem..... /:endsoap: ;)
thanks

I believe, and am trying to find out for certain, that the PBEM system will use the same cheating prevention system as TOAW III. Not full-proof by all means, but at least it is something.


Regarding altering armour stats. Unfortunately, no... not yet anyway. One of the beautiful things about the Campaign Series is how easy it is to modify, which is a detriment in the wrong hands.

I personally wouldn't mind seeing a new, easier to use, unit editor that allows the creation of new units, but forbids the altering of the exiting and new "core" units.

Take care and good luck
