Title: Eastern Front News #15.08.2009
Post by: Apex on August 15, 2009, 05:00:02 PM
Greetings.

This time we present you our new website, our new Maps Video and our new Ultimate Guide.

Major Ivan Danko. Welcome to the Eastern Front.


(http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/8521/reliccoh200908152200099.jpg)
On June 22nd, 1941, five million axis soldiers crossed the borders into the Soviet Union, beginning the largest, most ferocious and bloodiest theatre of war in history. This is the Ostheer.


Check the menu tab for the "Guide" section for a detailed explaination of the Soviet Union Faction.

And here's our new Map Video:

Oh, good major! A collar is not in Russian style, but very good! Ok! And music is good!
All very nice, but only the KB-2 in 1944 ...
Good work, in wrong direction. The main problem is a techtree and a list of units. A visual part is wonderful.

Personally I'm a big fan of the "direction" and will wait to see the Ultimate Guide before I judge the techtree, units etc.

Great stuff, would have liked to see a bit more of the KV-2, but nay mind, also nice to see the Elefant wandering about in there too.
Gah my map dint make it in, to be fair all those that made it in seem much more professional haha.

Cheers

Website looking very snazzy now guys, I think this is my favorite update, not that I really made a list or anything...

Really like the guide aswell, everything looking promising.

Just one question though, where is the SU-85?
Have you decided not to include it, or just forgot to put it in?

Cheers

I talked to a moddb guy via email yesterday, because our sites stats were frozen. He said that the mass assault on our page caused the system to collapse. They only fixed it today.

Kind of random question, but what is the music in the map video called?
Title: Re: Eastern Front News #15.08.2009

Its called 'Requiem for a Dream' or something.

i got 2 questions about the guide: will the maxim not be included and wont the soviets be able to secure resources?
Title: Re: Eastern Front News #15.08.2009
Post by: luz777 on August 21, 2009, 10:08:04 AM
Aye, I was also wondering about how they will secure sectors
Title: Re: Eastern Front News #15.08.2009
Post by: Commissar Haxte on August 21, 2009, 06:45:45 PM
actually i am kinda hoping they cant secure sectors, i personally think it does not really fit the feel of the red army and it adds another level of both variety and difficulty to the soviets

How did you make all the infantry at the end? A cheat mod of some sort? Overall, great work! Cant wait.

Post by: TheAllMihtyOne on October 10, 2009, 08:26:38 AM
well beacuse the conscripts don't take pop-cap it does not seem soo unbelivable, cuse i think it was mostly conscripts.
Title: Re: Eastern Front News #15.08.2009
Post by: WartyX on October 10, 2009, 08:57:09 AM
Obviously it was set up for the trailer. But it is definitely possible, although manpower and time would be better spent on things other than producing hundreds of conscripts.
Title: Re: Eastern Front News #15.08.2009
Post by: vengefulnoob on October 10, 2009, 10:11:15 AM
Please don't reply here, it makes me think there's another update... My poor heart just canna take any more!
Title: Re: Eastern Front News #15.08.2009
Post by: Gew00n on October 10, 2009, 02:42:18 PM
That brings me to this question..

Is there another update to be expected soon?

Question how much manpower does a conscript unit cost?
Title: Re: Eastern Front News #15.08.2009
Post by: akn102991 on October 11, 2009, 07:54:39 AM
I'd also be interested to see some of the projected unit costs for the game, just for thinking's sake.

But I also know the eruption of "OMG SO OP/UP" on the forums for everything on the list.  EVERYTHING. 
Title: Re: Eastern Front News #15.08.2009
Post by: WartyX on October 11, 2009, 11:45:41 AM
Unit costs are flip-flopping all the time as we try to find a decent balance. Even something which we think is a perfect balance now may completely change after the Beta.

Conscripts are currently around 200 MP for 8 men.
Title: Re: Eastern Front News #15.08.2009
Post by: akn102991 on October 11, 2009, 04:44:42 PM
Sweet.  Seems about right.

Oh, and the Obligatory: 
OMG SO OP SO OP THIS IS RIDICULOUS HOW COULD THE RUSSIANS BE SO OP THE (fill in favorite doc/army) CAN'T COUNTER THIS BS.

Can Russians Reinforce?  In the design doc, it did say the infantry could not retreat, so I was wondering if they can reinforce also.
Title: Re: Eastern Front News #15.08.2009
Post by: BurroDiablo on October 11, 2009, 05:35:59 PM
Russians can still reinforce, yes.  Technically, they can still retreat too, you just need to do it manually (no magical button that makes them run back to base)

It looks awesome and I can't wait for release!
Please people, finish it, even if it's not perfect yet...
Bugs will always be there, you'll fix that with few patches, but let the games begin, let the Russians in the war!
