Re: Field of Glory II: Medieval is coming soon
Yes, although people have successfully run FOG2 Ancients on Linux and WINE, so it will probably run on those. We don't support them directly though.

Re: Field of Glory II: Medieval is coming soon
I'm really curious whether Polish Winged Hussar will be available in the later periods of FOG2: Medieval. It might be an awesome unit (+400 Impact POA, quality: elite, armor: superior, special ability: ignores enemy ZOC .
Re: Field of Glory II: Medieval is coming soon
Those are outside the time period of the game I think?

Alright Richard, thanks for the info...rbodleyscott wrote: ↑Fri Nov 13, 2020 3:59 pm Yes, although people have successfully run FOG2 Ancients on Linux and WINE, so it will probably run on those. We don't support them directly though.

The Medieval Castle: Four Different Types
https://www.historyonthenet.com/medieval-castle
Within an Existing Roman Fortress
The earliest medieval castles built by the Normans were either constructed within an existing Roman Fort or were Motte and Bailey castles. These were soon replaced by Stone Keep castles as they offered better protection from attack. Concentric castles developed during the 12th and 13th Centuries and were virtually impossible to conquer.
Motte and Bailey Castles
Motte and Bailiey castles were the earliest form of medieval castles built completely from scratch by the Normans. As their name suggests they had two parts the Motte and the Bailey.
The Motte was a large hill made of earth on which was built a wooden keep or lookout. The outer edge was then surrounded with a large wooden fence called a palisade.
The Bailey was separated from the Motte by a wooden bridge that could be removed if the Bailey was occupied by enemies. The Bailey was the part of the castle where people lived and animals were kept. A large castle might have more than one Bailey.
To give added protection to the castle, both the Motte and Bailey would be surrounded by a ditch, sometimes filled with water. A drawbridge was used for access to the castle.

Re: Field of Glory II: Medieval is coming soon
It seems that there is still no anti-aliasing in FoG2: Medieval. Is it possible to add anti-aliasing option in the future?

Re: Field of Glory II: Medieval is coming soon
There is anti-aliasing in FOG2: Medieval (also in FOG2: Ancients). It is off by default to help the game work on older machines, but there are 3 degrees of antialiasing that can be set in the Settings menu.

Still waiting to hear about "at least" a couple of new mechanics/feautures regarding combat/battles...Athos1660 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 07, 2020 8:08 pm Suspense...
I too guess that the general mechanics will remain the same with some refinements and that the main changes will concern what is specific to the period, ie the units (such as mounted crossbowmen. Knights...), their 'traits' (capabilities, APs...) and their interactions (relative net PoA...). For example, a fragment of code in FoG2: ancients showed that the devs had considered at some point in the past that Impact PoA of Knights when rear charging keils "was 200, but needed to be 300 to encourage knights to charge keils in the rear. However, this may make other types over-aggressive."
But there might also be a few major changes in mechanics, e. g the secondary ZoC or the new flank/rear charge mechanics the devs added to the Pike and Shot system when developing FoG2: Ancients.
Looking forward to seeing the actual changes (as you are).
Re: Field of Glory II: Medieval is coming soon
I guess you know this Steam thread where Snugglebunnies gives "a couple" of indications about the beta.
I don't know whether you know Richard's other games such as Pike and Shot about the Renaissance but, more than just adding a few "new mechanics/features" (such as the field fortifications in FoG2: M), he knows how to tweak his game system and the stats of his (new) units (AP, PoA...) to create new battle dynamics that feel specific to the period of the game.

Re: Field of Glory II: Medieval is coming soon
The game would likely run OK provided you had a decent amount of RAM (at least 8GB, ideally more), and a decent discrete graphics card (nVidia or AMD). If you provide your detailed spec we can be more certain.Andorius wrote: ↑Mon Dec 14, 2020 5:34 pmI have an Intel I3 will this work with my PC ?rbodleyscott wrote: ↑Fri Nov 13, 2020 3:59 pmYes, although people have successfully run FOG2 Ancients on Linux and WINE, so it will probably run on those.
