Hi there!
First of all I would like to thank the admins (Steve Nevis) of this site allowing me to start a new thread about our game called Hours of War. We are developing a new kind of Massively Multiplayer War Strategy game, playable on browser. You are more than welcome to join in to our site, and if you need more information, like screenshots, trailer, and additional game info, they are available here:
http://www.hoursofwar.com/.
World War II is the subject we start with. The whole war is not covered, game starts from the beaches of Normandy 1944. The battle of Tali-Ihantala 1944 (Karelian Isthmus, Red Army´s great Summer Offensive) is also under development.
At the moment we are finalizing the beaches of Normandy, so Alpha testing phase has begun, and we are steaming towards the beta-phase.
The final version of the game should be ready next autumn. As this is a browser playable MMO game (also MAC/Safari compatible), we will
continuously bring new content to the game after the launch.
I post this thread to you, because, normally when someone is interested in gaming and also of the history of war, therefore strategy games might interest people also. Historical accuracy combined with unit amount ( all the naval, aviation and ground units, that took part to the specific battle!), equipment, supply and so on, challenge all the virtual-Patton/-Rommel to rewrite history.
If you want any kind of information, you can send me either private message, or you can send it straight to our game info address:
info.DeleteThis@hoursofwar.com
Hope to hear your reply and see you at our site also!
Best regards!
Piri

Attention Officers!
Here is a short briefing about the Hours of War:
* We have a new video preview demonstrating where the client design is heading! ( link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQAGbhDS3Ek )
* Scheduled Alpha tests have provided valuable feedback and influenced the development. Throughout our tests, the servers and client have been stable. We have had some issues with authentication and chat but working with our team of testers, we have solved most of the bugs. Currently our development efforts are focused on the client design and visual feedback. We are also working on improving the in-game chat functionality and the necessary strategy and planning tools for higher ranked players managing the battles. We are working extremely hard to complete the Open Beta version and launch it.
* We have just opened a new forum, where you are able to discuss the game in your own language: (link: http://www.hoursofwar.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=15 ). In the beginning we will support the following languages: Danish, Finnish, French, German, Icelandic, Norwegian, Spanish, Russian and Swedish.
Salute

Attention!
We have a brand new website. You´ll find out that we have also new screenshots and video (more to come for sure!). Hours of War blog has found its place at our renewed site also. We added more information about the game including info about new scenarios. You may have noticed that we have upgraded the game graphics, and due to that and many other game tech improvements we made, we´ll have quite intense internal/external tests going on at the moment, before the beta launch.
And as always you are more than welcome to browse our new site here:

I am sure I will like this game, because I have already played Glory of Fellowland, and since they are similar, this will also be a hit for me. >> Stay informed about: Hours of War |
