4Newsday-Otherheadline

Once we’re past The ACDC, we’re going to start ramping up for Connections Online 2023.  The theme is “The Enemy Gets A Vote” and will focus on red-teaming.  This distributed online conference is focused on the professional/practitioner world, and brings together wargamers of all stripes to improve the art, science, and application of wargaming for serious purposes.

4Newsday-4Xgaming

We’ve also got a 4X-specific area in the forums to discuss any of these, too.

  • After half a year of development in Early-Access, the full release version of Chaos Galaxy 2 is now out.  Described by developer Han Zhiyu as a “retro-style” grand-strategy game, and claiming major influences from older titles such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Advance Wars, Chaos Galaxy 2 allows the player to wield a diverse array of units — including warships, mechs, and monsters — in their bid to wrest control of the galaxy from amongst a dozen different factions.
  • In their ongoing post-release support of the new Master of Magic, publisher Slitherine and developer Muha Games have released an open beta for the new 1.06.18 update, which is immediately available to those who have the game installed on Steam.  In addition, Muha recently sent out a newsletter, in which they include a short/intermediate-term roadmap regarding future support & development for Master of Magic.
  • Arcen Games dropped a “New Year’s” patch for AI War 2 this past week (link).  The 5.532 update includes a variety of bug-fixes and balance improvements, along with a good chunk of work done on some of the official mods.

News & notes from the business end of the gaming world

  • This week, Avalanche Press breaks down how to play their SWWAS series with their Coral Sea game
  • Wargame Design Studio gives their audience a “year in review” for 2023
  • Lock ‘n Load Publishing had their “breaking news” live update last night, including mention of bringing a bunch pre-press / preview stuff that they’ll be showing off at GameON!
