Thanks for putting that in such detail.

Hi, Straight Arrow, what settings did you use?

Taillebois

Sorry, but that might as well be Chinese to me. Can some kind person redo the links so they work with the new forum and post it after this if the top part of the thread can't be edited? I only came here because I was about to boast about getting a Union win on the Seeing the Elephant scenario with M...

Taillebois

Well perhaps you can edit to say there are decisions that may lead to war supplies, or give a spoiler alert.

Taillebois

Please don't give the game's secrets away. I enjoyed finding a decision I had overlooked on earlier plays. It'll become like other games where they say "wait for the "XXX" event, then declare war on Y". Fortunately I only read part of your post before realising what was happening...

In England some people are calling for the removal of Nelson's column.

I think that is an insult to Nelson Mandela who could have changed the Nelson bit of his name if it actually offended him.

The world is getting dafter.

Taillebois

I've started playing as the Confederates in my games as a protest against this protest.

Taillebois

Yes, and it seems the troops had a tendency to go home when they felt like it.

Taillebois

All seems quiet here for a bit.

Anyway I had a quick play of Naseby as the royalists - there's some typos and odd wording on the first two info screens - Northampton is written as Nothampton I think.

Taillebois

I just tried it a couple of times - only defending Floyd - all units on HAAC. There were three battles in the 15 days, confederates won the first two, lost the third. The next turn the confederates were all across the river but so were the Federals. Now I seem to recall that Jomini, among others, di...

Taillebois

Me too.

I have a DVD - "Military Strategies II" with PON on it.

First attempt did the update but it wouldn't work - flashing screens and freeze on selecting a scenario.

So, I uninstalled, and now it won't accept the serial number from the DVD .

Taillebois

The latest beta patch is from the first post on the thread 1.03RC Patch You have to check it will install to the correct directory as it is not the full final installer package. It seems to work OK for me albeit still with a couple of typo errors. Some people say there is an issue with automatic rep...

Oxford and London have STC_NAM label issues. Playing Naseby as Parliament.

Hi Vaalen, My screen size is mostly 1600x900 and 1280x800 on laptops. Actually, writing this reply on the Ageod forum I am finding it hard to see the text as it is grey on white to me! I've driven and hitch hiked around Scotland a few times. May and June are the likely to be the best times unless yo...

Taillebois

They are white on black to me, with the numbers a sort of purple! (Did you ever play Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri with the Alternate Color patch?) I think all games should include something like this because whenever there are those occasional items in the press about the color of items I see them dif...

Taillebois

Yes, it seems horribly realistic.

Small armies, and troops that slip off in the night.

A castle near me was apparently beseiged in the Civil War. An initial attack was repulsed so the beseigers settled down.
The beseiged colonel slipped out in the night to see his mistress in the nearby town.

Taillebois

I managed to play a complete game and lose to the Royalists by 6,490 to 642. I tried all I could to get my morale down to below 25 to trigger a sudden defeat but couldn't get it below 58. I even put Cromwell and several other leaders on a boat and had them bobbing around in the North Sea for a coupl...

Taillebois

1. I seem to have only two scenarios now - Naseby is no more. Probably me borking something. 2. But I get the new map with Surrey replacing Berkshire, however I have noticed another map blip. Is Reading Reading or Newbury and if Reading should the region between it and Surrey be labelled something e...

Taillebois

Well I've just got back from holiday in Spain (Catalonia. not Madrid - sorry Liebst !) and there's been no posts for almost a fortnight. Is the war over? Why wasn't I told?

Taillebois

From Wikipedia on Bradford During the Civil War the town was garrisoned for the Parliamentarians and in 1642 was unsuccessfully attacked by Royalist forces from Leeds. Sir Thomas Fairfax took the command of the garrison and marched to meet the Duke of Newcastle but was defeated. The Parliamentarians...

Taillebois

That's a great review for you. Just make sure the next patch clears up as many of the niggles that people are spotting and the game can get widespread recommendation.

Can you consider producing a demo version with just one scenario so the game can be tried without commitment?

Taillebois

I've had a complete run through all 106 turns of the full campaign with no crashes. This was on a low spec XP laptop - 1.6 ghz, 2 gb ram Intel graphics. It ran really well. I think there is still some funny arithmetic on the money and war supplies calculations - sometimes it seems right other times ...

Taillebois

I'm playing the Naseby scenario as Royalists, all options set to default. There seems to be some strange results for the money and war supplies display in the top left. Sometimes it seems to add up correctly and display the final amount, other times not. Can somebody else try it and let me know if I...

Taillebois

I play on a really low spec laptop machine with 1.7 ghz and HD graphics and it works fine when I turn Windows Defender off. This makes it scroll OK. So I do this and turn Windows Defender back on when I want to go back to the internet etc. There's a thread else where about this and you can make the ...

I agree. There seem to be some real nit pickers over on the Matrix site. It isn't only there and about this game. It seems some people rush to get a new thing just so they can immediately find an error of some sort and shout about it. I don't think I could stand it if I had spent months of work maki...

Taillebois

For the time being given the newness of the game and its small team I would suggest following the manual page 13:

"We believe the best historical feel is achieved by using the default settings."

Taillebois

Well over the years I feel I know Normandy, the Ardennes, Gettysburg and Berlin. But now, Lyme Regis - my house is about 5 miles from there. And Gloucester; about 10 miles from where I write this. And I am amply supplied with apostrophes for the myriad of forces I command. Well done for making this ...

Taillebois

Me too. Says 1.00 Incidentally, I posted a massive copy of an article on the ECW from Britannica 1911 on the Matrix site. I think it is interesting but others may not. I must admit the inclusion in the game of places like Basing House, Lyme Regis, and Selby and Nantwich just shows how little of my o...

Taillebois

Thanks for trying - it's a niche within a niche.

What's Calvinus up to now? I admire him and those like him who do these solo or almost solo projects.
