Fantasy General II is coming soon DRM-free.

Fantasy General II is the reimagination of the strategy game classic from the 90s!
Armies once again draw battle-lines on the war-torn land of Keldonia, and a new generation of commanders will test their bravery and tactics against each other. Fantasy wargaming is back!

True to the tradition of the original game, Fantasy General II is all about turn-based battles. Lead over 75 different unique unit types, including powerful heroes.
Take into consideration terrain, weapons and armour, magical effects, morale, and the balance of forces, make a plan, execute it, and vanquish your enemy, forging your reputation as a savage war-leader.

Well, there are different publishers involved. And in 20 years companies go bankrupt, break up or are purchased. Also there are cases where some rights go to the specific developers who handled that part, who may die in the meantime, then there are those nasty cases where for example music rights go to some other party, and the even nastier where some rights expire sooner or later than others.
No idea of this particular series, just saying in general.

BranjoHello: Wouldn't get my hopes too high for this one.
If they manage to keep that "feel" of the first one, count me in.

BranjoHello: Reviving a "series" (well, now it can be called that xD) after so much time usually doesn't prove to be in the upper part of quality ladder.
Usually. But hey there's a new Bubsy game and it looks pretty awesome! ;P
No joke!
Favourite topic... Loved the first one, I think I rescued that knight and haven't revisited. Wonder what they can do to improve on the first apart from some better graphics and sound effects. Really happy to hear about this and will look out for it.

Loved the menu music on the first one.

RogueXanter: I wish GOG would get the rest of the 5-star series, Panzer General I and III, and People's General before getting sequels to the 5-star series games they already have. I never understood why their selection of this series is so haphazard. Yes to Panzer General II and 3d Assault but no I or III. Yes to Pacific General but no Allied General, or People's General. Include Fantasy General but don't get Star General.
You won 't see the original Panzer General or Allied General here until the legal issues are settled. They are in legal limbo rigfht along with the No Onr Livrd Forever games.
You might want to give Panzer Corps a try; it's pretty much a remake of the original Panzer General Game.

RogueXanter: I could see copyright issues with Star General which is basically The Fleet, an old scifi short story anthology series, the game. Maybe even some of the aircraft, ships, and vehicles in People's General. But how many units appear in Panzer Generals I and III or Allied General but not in Panzer General II, 3d Assault, or Pacific General?

mecirt: It's not about the game being similar to other games, it's about distribution rights. If GOG can't get distribution rights for any reason, then it cannot release these games - whether the game is similar to others or completely unique is irrelevant here.
Distributions rights are why the No One Lives Forever series is not on gog.

Radiance1979: Not the point? your the one talking about total warhammer as a light game... that can be only said from an easy low res perspective. I'm correcting you good sir that is the point
avatar
eric5h5: You're not "correcting" anything, and continue to miss the point. Total War: Warhammer includes integrated graphics in the minimum GPU specs. This is a fact, it's not something that can be debated. Obviously it's not going to run at high settings at 120fps on integrated graphics. Again, not the point. Since you seem to be having a hard time, I'll spell it out: there doesn't seem to be a good reason why Fantasy General II should be limited to the last couple generations of discrete GPUs, when other games with comparable or better graphics run on a much wider array of hardware.

avatar
gmx: Also what are "minimal requirements"? That game will run at all or be playable on totally subjective level by devs?
avatar
eric5h5: It's what the devs support for running the game. If you have hardware below min specs and write to them complaining the game doesn't run well or at all, you can't reasonably expect anything other than "too bad" as a reply. Some of it is technical (running at all), some of it is subjective (running well enough to be playable in the opinion of the devs).
Well if you spell it out like that you seem to be completely ignorant of rendering tools and worldbuilders used by developers
The fact that stating it is oke for : ..................... without any form of testing

anyway

i do have to admit that i was talking about Warhammer 2 and then specifically with the Mortal Empires campaign in mind. Just started up the wood elf story campaign and even on high/ultra settings antialias times 2 it reaches 60 fps with ease with about 50% powerconsumption on my 1060 3 Gb gpu and between 20 to 50 % cpu use ( ryzen 5 2600 at 3,9 ghz and 32 gb's of ram )

Is minimal playable : yes
do you want to avoid playing at minimum specs at all costs : yes

so once again... you can reject my correction but in the end what truly matters is how does it work for you and i can garantuee you, because this sits high with me ( mainly because of the unseen factors at work here, such as system maintenance, comfortabel feeling and like it or not ... the load of the game that changes, grows with every new addition. don't forget the games specs reflect the specs during first release )

So i do hope you understand my problem with your way or reasoning. I'm sure you have your own experience from which you base these statements and perse want to reflect your problem with others. I'm also sure that you are right from within the boundaries of what is stated ( specs )

To give a minor example from my total war rome II experience

When i upgraded my gpu from a 770 2 gb to a 1050Ti 4 gb ( not really an upgrade i know ) i noticed different behaviour with pikemen which in turn became a reason to use pikemen differently

Radiance1979: So i do hope you understand my problem with your way or reasoning.
I do not; this has nothing whatsoever to do with my opinion about what's playable or not. Since you can't or won't respond to the topic, you can kindly drop it.
on the whole issue - we have now tested with win 7 and integrated cards like the 960 and 940 and it works in principle. We will add options to decrease some graphical features (such as tree density) to decrease VRAM space requirements further.
I am confident we will get down the reqs further, we just were not comfortable with giving system requiremenst that are not based on tested setups.
