To me it sounds like a lot of work tied in by a boring theme... I mean I know the American Civil War is important to Americans but outside of the country it doesn't mean much. It was an uninspiring era for a game... all I see it as is dull weaponry and ugly uniforms/mustaches.

I like (films and games) on historical wars before there were guns, I like war games with a modern setting... I even don't mind things that are wild western themed... but to me this civil war (as far as my interest in gaming goes) is like the 80's equivalent of war... just something I don't care for in the least.

I'm only saying all this because like me I'm sure there are plenty of people who wouldn't bother playing your game because of the theme alone... even if it was the best custom map out there.

If this is something you already know or don't even consider as a problem then good luck with it, I just thought I'd bring it up to give you someone else's point of view before you went full bore into development.

Yes of course but this map is created because of all the previous civil war maps I seen that were terrible. The game will fill up because of a few curious souls on battle.net but it won't be a DotA. Thats fine, I just wanted to make a map where strategy and historical accuracy is combined. :shades:
 
I would rather play map about American civil war than WW2.

And do not disrespect mustaches.
 
I like Civil War because it is very slow. :D Take a few seconds (or a minute) to reload for one shot, switch to bayonets and stab people while charging, blow people up with a cannon that only affects an area of like 3 feet. ^_^

Fun.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
