An upgrade

Frank Hunter's Campaigns on the Danube is an operational study of the campaigns along the Danube in 1805 and 1809. Campaigns on the Danube's system focuses on trying to present the player with the same sort of decisions placed on their historical counterparts; how to feed an army and move that army according to a plan, all the while trying to fight a campaign. There is also an option to allow players to play out the battles with miniatures and input the results.

ORIGINAL: Citizen Emperor

Having just finished reading John H. Gill's incredibly detailed, three-volume, 1,000+ page study of the Fifth Coalition war (1809: Thunder on the Danube), I am very interested in checking out this game... especially if folks believe it's worthy of updating 10 years after initial release.


best Command & Control on the market for Campaigns of this era. Looking forward to the upgrade.

I uploaded it to Matrix so when their production guys get the chance they will package it up as the 2.0 update.

Because its a older release, Im on the fence to buy this. Can someone who played provide some review of this game?

I like Franks design and games. i have his new release too. With the upgrade coming, i want to pickup. I have vista and 8.1 though...a little uncertain it will work.

any input thanks..

cheers

Here's a few old reviews of the original game you may wish to check out so as to have a better idea if its the kind of thing you'd be interested in.

Matrix has to package it up with their installer, test it, etc. It can take a few days from when the developer uploads their software to Matrix before Matrix makes it available. This is also an older game and it sounds like the update wasn't something Matrix planned for, so they're going to have to fit it into their production schedule. There are several new games and updates being released right now which probably have higher priority than an unsolicited upgrade to an older game.

tl;dr - Hang on, Matrix has to do their part first and then it'll show up.

Hi Frank,
How about 1600x900 resolutions on your games?

I have 1440 by 900 and 1600 by 1200. There's no reason I can't add another. Is 1600 by 900 a popular res?

Which is why i have been holding back on buying the game untill now, or at least very soon ( much to the relief of a mate who has the original : ).

Oh ye guys @ matrix plz upload this soon, i know you are very busy but someone might die of anticipation here," honestly" :).

BTW could the old reviews that frank posted be pinned, the one from gamesquad is very insightfull, and like the rest not easy to find.
I hope this new version gets some fresh reviews also, there will be many ppl out there needing to know about this gem.
