  • Field of Glory II

    From Big Salad@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 4 13:15:00 2017
    This past weekend, I stumbled across some screenshots for Field of Glory
    II on the Matrix site.

    http://www.matrixgames.com/news/2278/Field.of.Glory.2.Reveals.new.Screenshots!

    (points for exclamation point in the url)

    There have been some false starts involving attempts to bring Field of
    Glory up-to-date. This time, the developer is Byzantine Games, who
    created Pike and Shot and Sengoku Jidai.

    The first, and I assume the second (I don't have it), both also use the
    Field of Glory miniatures rule-set for a basis. As I've posted here
    before, I love Pike and Shot but am ambivalent about Field of Glory.
    This could really turn it around if they bring the magic of the former
    to the latter.

    While the original FoG (the PC game) had expanded to cover quite a lot
    of historical ground, FoGII is aiming for the period between the Pyrrhic
    Wars and the Wars of Augustus. That is still enough for me. This is an
    period of PC gaming that cries out to be done right.

    Very interesting. I can see myself pulling the trigger on this one.
