Advanced Tactics: Gold Is Now Available!

Post by SeanD »

The much improved and expanded version of Advanced Tactics is hitting hard drives

Matrix Games and VR Designs (www.vrdesigns.nl) are thrilled to announce that Advanced Tactics: Gold, the sequel to the award winning World War II strategy game by the same name, is now available for purchase! For people who are already addicted to the acclaimed Advanced Tactics, Matrix Games has announced that owners of Advanced Tactics: World War II will receive a $15 discount off the price of Advanced Tactics: Gold! Follow this link to obtain your discount code.

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “The principle behind Advanced Tactics: Gold is take an already highly praised game and make it even better! Anyone who enjoys a fantastic combat engine with near limitless scenario creation and mod possibilities should give Advanced Tactics: Gold a look.”

Building off of the enormous success of Advanced Tactics: World War II, the Gold edition gives players a more powerful game editor, much improved random game engine, many new features and abilities, and more. Advanced Tactics: Gold also comes with an updated manual and ever-changing and expanding wiki, a freshly revamped scenario bank, new graphics throughout the game, more troop types, as well as some new scenarios. VR Designs has also been hard at working listening to player feedback, so Advanced Tactics: Gold also comes with many incremental changes and improvements based on community feedback!

But perhaps the most exciting feature in Advanced Tactics: Gold is the near limitless potential for replayability. The strong mod community will be able to create engaging, rich scenarios with the vastly improved editor, and players looking to hop straight into the action can enjoy a much improved random game experience that comes with many new rules, actions, and gameplay mechanics.

Just a few of the many features include:
  • Versatile Engine – The Advanced Tactics: Gold engine is capable of modeling a wide variety of warfare from historical and modern battles to science fiction conflicts and warring fantasy realms!
  • Improved Scenario Editor – The scenario editor is very powerful and allows the player to edit almost any aspect of the game in great detail.
  • Expanded Random Game Mode – Many new features and game mechanics like more unit types, unit fuel, climates and seasons, and more.
  • Many incremental improvements based on community feedback
  • A whole lot more!
Get more information on Advanced Tactics: Gold from its official product page.

Got the game! I was checking every few hours while playing old saved games when I saw that the game was available. I immediately ordered it and to hell with the discount - I am not going to wait another hour! It installed fine and I looked at a few of the scenarios. There are a lot of old scenarios and a few new ones. It is not clear to me if the old scenarios have the new features like oil and steel.

There are old and new random scenarios. I created a new one, and there are a lot of options that I will havge to check out to understand them, although most are fairly obvious.

My favorite scenario WaW is not there, so I am going right now to the scenario place to download it - I hope that it has the improved graphics and new stuff.

330 Kb/s sooo not exactly slow not fast either. Thing is.... the game is soon on my HD [:D] 
 
What I don't understand in the buying proces however is that normally I'm rerouted to another security check (via my own bank ING). Not this time though, filled in all the appropriate fields, clicked on... "submit" I think and *poof* everything has gone, all the windows closed. So I reckon I might have clicked the wrong button, but to my suprise 2 seconds later I get the d/l link from Plimus. D/L as we speak, but still it has been a bit weird [&:]
