There was a third party mod for WW1 that was being worked on sporadically using the DOS version. When we released the windows version we ended the practice of allowing the dates back to 1914 because it didn't fit our OOB's and we were now going to offer the game commercially. We made the offer to create a special EXE just for WW1 but nobody working on that mod responded and we totally lost what little interest we had in it.
WW1 was NOT WW2 and simply renaming things and leaving the code alone would not have made a very good game.
Every year somebody pops up asking about WW1 but the interest in it is literally a inch deep and a yard wide.
Fair points. I appreciate that it would be far more difficult than adding a few bits here and there. Its a shame the WW1 mod died a death, I guess I must be one of those few strange characters wanting to play the era!
As a purely aesthetical improvement I was thinking about a wider range of artillery guns icons. The existing stock does not make justice to a lot of guns.
If somebody was willing to do some work on this and make it available for an official release it would be great.
Probably the only thing that I miss from SPWAW is ability to record in a file the combat results (alt-L key).
Is it a code problem or is it something else?(Ex. removed to add a kind of FoW)
