Who is still playing UV

Post by crsutton »

I see that we have a final patch. I used to play it all the time but have not for almost two years. Is it still worth a shot with WITP out there?

There are new players of UV here frequently.  There's plenty of PBEM going on and we get visits from the WITP crowd when they're slumming and looking for a PBEM.  If you enjoyed the game 2 years ago you still will.

What he said. I like the UV version of the SoPac better than the WitP scenario.

Lopo,
Gentlemen?  This is war not tea and crumpets!  Just wait until you present me with another target in our PBEM!  I'll show you gentlemen....[;)]

I've barely fired up UV and getting the hang of things.  Had it since it came out though.

Is there only one UV scenario in WitP? Which one is it?

There are 3 scenarios that cover UV territory:
Coral Sea
South Pacific
Guadalcanal
WITP questions are better answered in the WITP Forum for obvious reasons as we still play our "little" game.

I find that playing UV against the AI is quite the tonic while waiting for WITP PBEM turns. WITP's AI bogs down too easily, but UV is limited enough that the AI can give a fairly decent accounting of itself. Thus, after so many years of owning it, I am still playing UV.

I actually prefer the map scale of UV, and am crazy enough to wish that WITP had been made to the same scale. [X(]

I prefer UV myself. I like the scale and I like the location better. It also runs faster than WitP or WPO.

So where are all the PBEMers?  Why play against the AI between WITP turns if you can play against a person?  I find that UV turns are usually fast to do unless you've got lots of assets and have a major op in the works.

Oh Yes, it is worthwhile.  There is a good bunch of PBEM fellows.  The engine is not as sophisticated as WITP but the game is more playable.

Although I do not have any games left going now, I think pound for pound UV has been the best value game I have ever purchased (picked it up for £10 on ebay a few years back). I have more or less played it to death now.

Now that Matrix has finally fixed this game w/v2.5 and others have added new ship artwork, UV gets better w/age.

Perhaps someday we'll even get a more human AI.

Muslims don't have popes, but the Islamic equivalent of that post would be caliph.
Or was that supposed to be sarcasm?

No response. Or was that supposed to be insipid?
