Blast.

Ten minutes later and I've lost Paris.

Must be something wrong with the PC after all.

Taillebois

Only 7 years late.
Thanks for this loki

I've got PON working on an old laptop and it curiously seems to run OK-ish.

Taillebois

Happy New Year Pocus.

I've just update my Field of Glory Empires and it seems much kinder to my poor laptop - at least there is less smoke coming out the fan grill .

Best wishes.

Would I be right in assuming most of the others are also bots ?

Taillebois

Yes - at least on my Lenovo laptop with integrated graphics.

debug assertion is something to do with C++ so try searching for that.
Various solutions have worked but not all the same for all people.

I hope that points you in the right direction.

That translated by machine as: " I just bought it, and well, the tutorials good, wanting to get started by slitting King Charles's throat and then stuffing Cromwell into a buttered barrel and filling it with cloves and throwing it around." I don't think the manual allows you to do that, ce...

Taillebois

Well another year slips by so I had a quick play of the Nathaniel Greene scenario.

Score victory, but not a proper victory.

I actually have a physical copy of the manual and looking through it just now I see that my generalship is on a par with Gage, Webb, and Murray ; i.e. - No Abilities

Taillebois

Well I've still got lots to play - I re-downloaded Rise of Prussia today - I bought it in 2012 and have still only played a few turns. RUS and PON also are still almost untouched. ---- Seeing the above posts - do you St Petersburg people know each other? ----- Best wishes to all, and thank you again...

This is the patch link I got it from today - which I happen to notice is Armistice Day 11th November (spooky huh?):

I kept getting the 1.08p sign come up even though I tried the q patch numerous times. Eventually I did a new install and before playing for the first time added the q patch and then on starting it showed the q. I hope this may help any lost souls wandering through here in 2020 and beyond. PS - also ...

I played a bit of ECW on an old XP laptop the other day and it played really well. I'm still only half through reading CV Wedgwood's "The King's War" and it's nice seeing places like Lyme Regis and Basing House in a war game. But then I still fire up AACW and AJE just to drool at the maps.

Taillebois

Hi Pocus, Thanks for replying. On most Ageod games I play on medium delay - otherwise as I slowly move the cursor across the screen all manner of things are popping up to distract me. ------- Maybe experts and game designers are too driven by what they think players should be doing and how they shou...

Taillebois

Ain't nobody here 'cept us chickens.

I couldn't stop the instant tool tips either.

Why do so many interfaces seem designed to annoy. Even as I write this there's a block on the right with those flickering jumping smilies.

Taillebois

I saw that there is a sort of AI v AI feature for some Ageod games mentioned in the RUS forum that is little talked about. Am I right that: You can run up to 9 turns automatically. I've tried it a bit on CW2 and AJE Is this correct: 1. Go to options, system, Error Logging - and set to on; then selec...

Taillebois

And thank you for many hours of historical enjoyment. Even though I'm not very good at the games they have given me much pleasure. I tried calling in at the Meylan /Grenoble address a couple of years ago when I was driving through France hoping to catch one of the Phils at work - but they must have ...

Taillebois

Not really an answer I'm afraid but by coincidence I just read Robert Graves's "Lawrence and the Arabs" It was published in the 1920s about the time Lawrence changed his name to Shaw. You can probably get it for almost nothing - my copy cost £5. Coincidence No 2 - about a month ago I stopp...

To get flavor of er, Paraguay, I recommend The Tomb of the Inflatable Pig by John Gimlette:

Taillebois

Thank you Pocus and all others who helped with these games. They bring history alive, like when this morning when I read: "In January 1815, a last humiliation was suffered by the British Army at the Battle of New Orleans, where General Andrew Jackson imposed a bloody defeat, indeed a massacre, ...

Taillebois

Leibst, Thanks for your games. I only scratch the surface but they stimulate me to learn more history. Espana - got me to read Beevor's book And ECW - to realise how little I knew of my own country's civil war. (And so nice to see Lyme Regis, near where my house is, in a war game !) Best wishes for ...

Taillebois

I spent an enjoyable couple of hours playing this - I used patch 1.12a which some say is the last good patch which I got from a place called patches scrolls de - a German site. I imagine for casual play the legacy patch 1.13 from here would be fine for most people - myself too really. Short scenario...

Taillebois

Well I just spent a couple of hours last night playing this and Birth of America.

They run smoothly on my low spec Win 10 laptop.

Durk wrote:I find France to be the Goldilocks faction to play, not too hot, not too cold, just right. Lots of colonial action and internal development, but not difficult challenges.

And as Goldilocks was a trespasser and a thief - I suppose it is quite appropriate

Taillebois

I've never got beyond the short scenarios like the Franco Prussian War because 1600 turns of solving 27 simultaneous equations or whatever to decide on trade goods just overwhelms me. So I fire it up, look at the map, think I must learn to play one day, and move on to something else. Anyway Loki if ...

Pride of Nations has a scenario on the Boer War doesn't it?

Taillebois

I agree Temgesic. Numbers of soldiers is how battle reports and campaign reports are written. This, I've just looked up Cannae: Armies: Carthage: 50,000: 32,000 heavy infantry, 8,000 light infantry, 10,000 cavalry Rome: 86,400: 40,000 Roman infantry, 40,000 allied infantry, 2,400 Roman cavalry, 4,00...

Taillebois

I imagine most of you who are fans of this game and era have come across this - but I have just read the chapter on Sertorius in Plutarch's - "Makers of Rome" - about 25 pages and a cracking read.

Taillebois

Hooray 1.03 and I finally get a victory as Rome in the Epirus scenario.

OK, it was on easy but I still feel my life has now been worthwhile.

Taillebois

Well done. I'm really pleased for you that the launch of this seems to have gone so well. I hope it does well and the new engine can be used for more games. ----- Hint if you jumped in to the small Rome v Epirus scenario - and got thrashed in three or four turns several times on Easy setting. :) Sta...

Taillebois

Well I've still got lots of AJE to play. And I have EU:Rome but have barely touched it. I'll certainly hold out for a while as my recent experience of buying new games has been bad (with the exception of Armored Brigade which been fine for me from the start). It may well be that my ageing body and c...

Taillebois

Thanks for the tip Leibst.

I was only thinking of playing this game again last week when I drove through Lyme Regis where the Parliamentarians held off a Royalist siege for 8 weeks in 1644.
