Will it support a turn-based mode?

[kabulk]

Given the table-top game is turn-based, and the success of Blood-bowl legendary edition, will this game support turn-based mode??

I hope so...

Well the game wont be turn-based and wont follow the rules of the board game but will be faithful to the universe. Its more like a tactical RTS using an active pause with some RPG elements.

Thanks for the answer:

It's a pity for the turn-based games fans as there are not many games in the gen and a Fantasy Skirmish turn-based game has been very awaited.

Hi, one more question, what does active pause mean??

it means the game is in pause mode during the decision taking?

[Velrys]

Active pause sounds more like when you want to pause the game, you press the space key just like in Dragon Age.

So would DOWII be a good comparison as far as game play, skills, loot etc?

Hi;

Speaking for my group of table top gamer around these parts, when we saw that cyanide was making a video game of Confrontation, we were all VERY excited.

Now that I am seeing that it is NOT going to be a Turn Based strategy game, I must say that I am a little disapointed, however I guess I understand why they would do that. Clearly they are trying to target a much bigger audience than just the talble top die hards (who fell in love with the unique turn sequence and skirmish mode of C3).

So if it is just going to be a RTS in the Confrontation world ... what is really going to set this game apart from all the other RTS games out there?

Hi,
it will not be a real RTS (Real Time Strategy). We discarded the turn-based gameplay and concentrated on the fluff, the graphics and the general feeling of Aarklash's background. However, this game will be a tactical strategy game, with an "active pause".
If you select your units and throw them in combat, you will lose immediately. You'll have to take a good look on your ennemies unique capabilities and skills, put the game on pause, assign stacking actions to your units (attack, move, use skill, heal ...).
You'll have to look closely at your environment, avoid ambushes, discover path and avoid dangerous places.

Stay tuned for new stuff about this game !!

Siam.

What will happen for the other players when you press the 'pause' then? Will they have to wait? Will all the players get a certain amount of allowed 'pause' time to be fair with everyone? When I read this, I wonder how multiplayer will be handled, honestly.

The multiplayer part will be different from the Campaign mode, it will be real time.

To summarize,
-you will have persistency on your account + ranking;
-Matchmaking to do 1vs1 matches;
-unlockable units.

Each player will command a warband of 4 units (Griffin, Scorpion, Orc or Wolfen), the game will be played in 3 winning rounds, and the choice of your units will be part of the strategy.
The selection of you warband will be a "Draft" mode (I chose my first unit, you choose 2 units etc...). You will be able to swap a unit for another between rounds.

We concentrate our efforts on the solo campaign mode first, to have all the good stuff ready for release.
