Time of Fury FAQ

Time of Fury spans the whole war in Europe and gives players the opportunity to control all types of units, ground, air and naval. Not only that, each player will be able to pick a single country or selection of countries and fight his way against either the AI or in multiplayer in hotseat or Play by E-Mail. This innovative multiplayer feature will give player the chance to fight bigger scenarios against many opponents, giving the game a strategic angle that has no equal in the market. The game uses Slitherine’s revolutionary PBEM++ server system.

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. [:)]

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.

Will there be a PBEM replay where you can see your opponents units move?  Thanks.

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.

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 [;)])

That's great doomtrader. I liked TOW a lot, but TOF looks to be so much more.

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.
