Among all, now there is no activation cost for moving Generals, the strategic AI has been drastically improved and Russia is more aggressive than before! Take a look at the full list of changes below! Liked the game? Leave a review! Changelog: - Generals' names appear on their tiles - Generals may now move for free on their own (no activation cost). - Players may discard Event Cards when their hand gets full and they can accordingly draw a different card if desired. - When a nation's capital is taken, there is a percentage chance that it will surrender every turn that it is occupied. This means that nations will hold out longer and have a better chance to re-capture their capital and to receive help from other nations before surrendering. This applies to the ‘General’ and ‘Emperor’ levels of difficulty. - The Friendly Neutral period has been extended from 6 to 9 turns (‘Corporal’ level of difficulty only). - Improved strategic AI on re-taking capitals - Improved strategic AI for Russia: Being more aggressive in driving more armies into Austria and Prussia - Improved tactical AI - Adding a combat bonus for Cavalry vs. Disordered Cavalry. This means that attacking infantry with cavalry is more dangerous if there is enemy cavalry in the same area. - ‘Passing’ in the advanced battles. When the player ‘passes’, the AI automatically wins initiative for the next move. - The 1800 scenario now lasts until 1815 - A few small improvements in the strategic AI dealing with Russia and the Ottoman Empire. - There is now a small political cost when France declares war. The exact cost depends on the level of difficulty. - A few minor reliability fixes. - Improvements in user control over the game’s hardware preferences.

The Flare Path: Black Berets, Red BearskinsMar 25, 2016 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunHorsa gliders slithering to a halt outside Hougoumont’s gates. StuGs burning merrily in the sandpit at La Haye Sainte. Arnhem Bridge littered with the corpses of cuirassiers and their mounts… Anyone with any sense will skim-read today’s Flare Path. The berm separating the Assault on Arnhem words from the Victory and Glory: Napoleon ones is very low. With luck you’ll fail to notice it and depart convinced that someone has finally produced that era-splicing Universal Military Simulator sequel you hallucinated in a hospital recovery room in 2006. … The Flare Path: Topical TitbitsMar 18, 2016 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunNice try Shambler Soft. No doubt you thought naming your new Boer War wargame ‘Aasvogels Overhead’ would guarantee you the top spot in this week’s alphabetised news round-up.

Glenn Drover is a well known name in the world of boardgaming, having created the boardgame adaptations of some world famous strategy games such as Age of Empires III and Age of Mythology. Victory and Glory: Napoleon will be released on March, 17th Q: What is, in your experience, the main challenge a game designer has to deal with in a new project? A: The main pitfall is falling in love with your original design and ideas. At the beginning of a project, a designer is usually extremely excited about the new game, and thinks that they know how it should work. Once the reality of the first playtest kicks in, the designer’s assumptions are usually sorely tested, and many issues appear. A good designer will remain flexible enough to immediately throw out what is not working and make the necessary changes. If they are too in love with their original idea, they may not be open to that and their design can become stuck and never progress. Q: You did great tabletop adaptations of famous PC games like Age of Empires III: The Age of Discovery, Age of Mythology: The Board game, Railroad Tycoon, etc. Now you had embarked yourself in a contrary enterprise: to make a PC version of a board game. What are the differences you encountered in this process? A: This game was actually a PC game from the get-go, but one that was designed with board game sensibilities and mechanics. It’s actually far easier to create in the electronic rather than in the physical medium because the computer allows the designer a great deal of freedom to create mechanics and systems that can be handled quickly and seamlessly by the computer. Board games require mechanics that are easy to understand, easy to execute, and do not become tedious for the players to perform over and over. This often requires streamlining a design and abstracting complex elements to a point that gameplay can flow more smoothly. PC games sometimes reward the opposite: the kitchen sink approach. PC gamers often want more detail and more complexity (since the computer can manage it anyway). Converting from PC to board game is challenging because you have to know what to eliminate and streamline. Converting from board game to PC game is challenging because you have to know what to add to enhance the experience. Q: In Victory and Glory, can the player play as Great Britain and her allies, or just France? A: We wanted to focus the game on allowing the player to play as Napoleon. His task of defeating an ever-changing alliance against France, re-organizing the patchwork of antiquated states and principalities in Germany and Italy, modernizing their political, legal, and economic structures, and building France’s power to ensure her security made for an interesting and complex game, even when streamlined and abstracted.
