Tides of War

I got to thinking just now what a strange name this game has I can understand the Rising tides bit but why was it decided to call it enigma?

That's one I can answer

When a few of us old Iron Wolves salts first came up with the concept of an Iron Wolves replacement, I partially disseminated the client-server protocol it used to gain a better understanding of how it worked. Cracking the code - hence Enigma.

The project became known as the Enigma Project, and since I rather liked the name, when East came around to picking a title for the game I lobbied hard for it to include Enigma.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Ok makes sense:)

I hope you dont take offense but I prefer the Rising Tides part of the name better.

I have a little story about ENIGMA. in 1923 a Polish firm started to produce cypher machines for businesses who did not want their communiques intercepted by rivals. They were reasonably successful, and, I think, an order was placed by the German Weimar Government for government work.

I would have to agree that Rising Tides would have been a more concise and punchy title. If you only saw the box cover and the title, without reading the info. on the back of the box, you would get the impression this was a game about the hunt for the Enigma machine and chasing down a sub to capture the code books.

No offense taken

Come MP, there are plans to have ciphers involved in the game.

Also Enigma is the name of of the core game; Rising Tide is the name of Chapter 1.

So what will C2 be called, Flood tide! maybe

So what will C2 be called, Flood tide! maybe

Thats all highly secret. All I can tell you is there is to be a prequel called Enigma: Global Warming
