Default Re: Graphics Poll

Andrew, I think much depends on the advertising. If Shrapnel's ads portray Salvo! as a fun, playable, beer & pretzels-type game, then the graphics are fine. If you present the game as "realistic", then details of this sort are significant. There is a lot published on the period, and many wargamers are quite knowledgable about it.

Many of us have been hoping for a realistic simulation of naval combat in a 3D evironment. Age of Sail 2 and its many patches & sequels promised this but failed (miserably) to deliver. It would be nice to think that Salvo! will fill the gap. However, I don't read the current ads as making any particular claim to realism.
