...Well worth $180...

For the Alpha, or a Civil War uniform? 

You can access the Alpha now for $69 at Captain tier.

That's very expensive for a video game.

Yes, but I had to be one of the first. And I just love this game.

That's just for alpha access. I believe you can pay ~$20 to get a copy when it fully releases.

100% well worth the investment. You'll be happy you supported an independent developer with a uniquely mindblowing IP.

 

[Adorno]

I realise it's to support the developers, I just hadn't seen the concept before,
except in Kickstarter pledges where you get all kinds of bonus stuff.

 

[Bluehawk]

For $180 I better be getting shares in the company to go with it. After Oculus Rift, I ain't "pledging" nothing to nobody unless I get some of that thick juicy titty milk from Grandma Facebook, ya feel me?

 

[Austupaio]

Another 100% serious and sombre post from Bluehawk for ya, Rabble.

Good man.
And here's a small video of a 'drill session' demonstrating the variety in stance and reloading positions. It's shaping up very well, and being updated on a regular basis.

 

[Hinkel84]

A small update, this time DiplexHeated featuring some Drill on the Union side!

This actually looks really nice. Seeing detailed finger animations really does it for me--for once the voices actually sound like they're coming from the battlefield and not some teamspeak server.

If I didn't hate the dependence inherent to MP I'd be all over this.

 

[Leifr Eiríksson]

In game VOIP is surprisingly crisp and, as far as I can tell with my **** headphones, 3D based.
Great video Hinkel.

 

[Horcerer]

That it is. It's pretty immersive, if not slightly annoying when somebody is standing 10 feet or so away and the sound fade makes them hard to hear.

 

[Rigadoon]

I noticed that the recent gameplay has a strong grey filter. It makes the game look much worse than before. I hope the devs are just experimenting and it isn't here to stay. Compare the difference between Diplex's video and this one from May.

[Horcerer]

Honestly have never noticed no such thing myself, and I haven't seen any patch notes for it, or any people on the WoR forum noticing it either. Might just be you/that video.

 

[Rigadoon]

I first noticed it on the 'Day one of the Confederacy' video on the WoR channel. Every video preceding it on that channel had more vibrant colors.

Spoiler

But now looking at the CSA Drill Session video from a couple days ago, it seems fine again. Maybe it's just varying weather effects.

 

[Kentucky 『 ＨＥＩＧＵＩ 』 James]

Or it could just be varying youtube uploads, or graphics settings (the "greyer" one just looks like it's got HDR switched off)

 

[Horcerer]

And they just released the Company Tool. We might even have skirmishes within 6 months, if lucky.

One would hope so.
It's worth noting that you currently do not need a Steam key or forum account to use the Company Tool. You are free to sign up and enlist with your respective choice in nations for the moment, although there will be a time (likely a few months ahead) where the registration of your character will be tied to a Steam key. As the tool sits now it's very nicely made and a definite boon to this kind of game.

And if I may be so cheeky as to plug away; we're currently looking for folk to join us in the 19th VA. TaleWorlds folk (mostly Víkingr and Deluge), some beer and some Reb hollarin' - what more is needed?

19th Virginia Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company A.
