Problem i see is that MAW is going to be the title with less new scens, FIW-1776-1812 have a solid base of custom scens, historical, variants/what ifs even covering other wars (if i dont remember bad 1776 has a full mod covering a battle between prusians and austrians... and a 2nd version was removed from download by Tiller petition years ago)... until i know MAW has 0 custom scens.

In general put the serie at ACW standard is a good notice specially when are titles laking the  zoom using mouse wheel, EAW engine is very outdated  Whistle

A little question, in 3D unit art you are going to use the ACW aproximation or the nap one??? i find nap units better, they are less detailed but soldiers are smaller and dont cover a lot space in hex, in the images i see from last ACW update soldiers have "to much leg" Big Grin2

Expect you have good luck updating the serie, i allways find it interesting specially the engine that for me could be used to cover other XIX century wars... EAW only lacks South America wars of liberation to be finished before jump to other periods and is not like the century lacks wars to cover.

I don't know that that really is a problem (MAW); if an update were to encourage revisiting the title.

At this point, I expect to be involved in this project -as I am others, and at this point I don't know if it would be best to add in scenarios from topics outside the topic of the particular title. For example I think there was a scenario for Culloden, there were some for the Zulu wars - I don't know that those are better as a mod; similar to the Spanish Civil War PzC title that is out there.  That way specific graphics can be created for those; however I don't think that JTS is going to go so far as to create graphics for custom topics.   Who knows, though, it is still early. There are other things in the queue ahead of the EAW project ...

3D -you know ideally it would be all new - but way too early to talk about that; so no specifics I can offer - apologies, sir. :)

The update is not going to be about creating new custom topics like South American Wars of Revolution, that isn't a 'no , it will never happen...' but rather I don't think that would be part of the updating process. I know that I won't be doing it, myself.

Zoom - definitely, that should be a fairly easy add to get done. The graphics will be re-done. Too early to talk about other stuff (other things in process before EAW gets to the point of being directly worked on) - it is on the horizon is what this means.
