RE: Time of Fury FAQ
When I saw the first screen shots with sprites it did not seem to be for me, but now I have looked deeper into the releases, I see more that looks good. I like the combination of the ToW land system, with SoP naval combat. Nice to see the modding work on maps and icons integrated into the game, there should be lots of choice.
Some games can be a great challenge to play, others can be great fun, both are enjoyable in their own way. Looking forward to the result. [:)]

RE: Time of Fury FAQ
Thanks parusski, we are doing our best to create game that will measure up all the request and will be a good alternative for more complex games with enough deep below the cover.
RE: Time of Fury FAQ
Will there be a PBEM replay where you can see your opponents units move? Thanks.

RE: Time of Fury FAQ
Impatiently waiting for this game, but I have a question that is not clear to me from what I understand reading the FAQ or the features; can you play cooperatively between human players? for example 2vs2 or assimetric 2vs3... It would be awesome.
RE: Time of Fury FAQ
It can be done in a hotseat session.
RE: Time of Fury FAQ
Thanks for the fast reply, although it is easy to play hotseat cooperative even in the absence of a specific feature. I spoke rather of PBEM, but I understand that is not possible because is very difficult to implement a server based coop... It's a pity as it would be an amazing feature, and a real breakthrough in the world of wargames (please, consider the possibility [;)])
RE: Time of Fury FAQ
That's great doomtrader. I liked TOW a lot, but TOF looks to be so much more.

RE: Time of Fury FAQ
The PBEM system currently only supports 2 players so you can either play 1v1 or 2vAI in co-op game. This I think co-op is pretty unique for this type of game so could be a very interesting option, especially for helping new players learn the rules etc.
