This is a mod that intensifies the colours on the BOA map. Some screenshots, with the original map first followed by the modded version: http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a434/dsfairhurst/BOA%20Large%20Old_zpssfuhsrsh.png http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a434/dsfairhurst/BOA%20Large%20New_zpsfd...
This is a map mod for CW2 that mainly changes only the woods - toning the bright parts down somewhat. The marshes and swamps have been made rather less shiny/sparkly as well. The changes are best demonstrated by screenshots, of course. First the original, followed by the new look: http://i1035.photo...
Meanwhile, I must say that I agree with those who view this bundle as a bad move on the part of AGEOD. It's one thing to offer a single game with a huge discount in order to introduce people to the company's products, but quite another to sell almost the entire back catalogue for next to nothing. Th...
I notice that several people have indicated that they will gift games that they already own to friends. Is this simply a matter of telling the person what the key code is or do you have to do something else to avoid breaking the Steam rules?
I can see the problem. :D Which faction is this? Go to the folder Aliases and open Colors2_Factions (use windows editor or any basic text program). Now search for $colXXXMain (XXX= insert shortcut/tag of your faction here; e.g. $colPRUMain = Prussia). Replace the existing colour-values of this entr...
Can anyone tell me how to change the background colours on the unit panels? http://i.imgur.com/fcRAIDD.png Here's a prime candidate for change. I've tried changing the Color files in Aliases, but all I've managed to achieve is to change the colour of the city names on the map.
This is a mod in two versions that lightens the sprites used in game. I only bought this game recently, and when I tried the sprite unit option I was immediately struck by how dark the sprites were. So, I've brightened them up a bit. Here are some screenshots that show the Prussians and Austrians - ...
The thing is that just being handed the Congo on a plate seems far worse to me that the difficulties that I've been experiencing. I don't mind it if a game nudges you in a certain direction, but there's a limit.
Are you playing Belgium as well? If so, how are things going for you?
How does this 'getting by event' work? Do you actually get a full colony in one fell swoop, or just the building blocks you need in order to build a colony in a certain area? And would Portugal simply be booted out?
Thanks for the replies. I have played EU2 (and For the Glory) and EU4, but not EU3, and I certainly don't like the complete sandbox games. I took an instant dislike to EU3 because it seemed to be a free for all, and I notice that Paradox has stepped back from that somewhat with EU4 (not much, but at...
I've now reached 1855 in my first PON game, which has mainly been aimed at learning how to play. The point I'm at now seems to be a bit of a dead end, however, because my options as Belgium are so limited. I've managed to get the economy in pretty good shape, and only some minor tinkering with this ...
After a number of failed attempts a prospecting expedition stuck in an African province in which I had 35-percent CP, but after the eight turns were up no new resource appeared in the province. Was the expedition a failure? or are some provinces simply lacking in resources?
Good grief! Is this how it always works with AGEOD titles? As far as I know, the game was only announced in May, and now it's been released with no real run-up. I'm used to Paradox, which announces games about a year in advance with a target quarter-year, and then gives you a release date several we...
Sorry guys, but I have to ask : Which came first the Chicken or the Egg?? (Groan!) Well, in this case it was the egg (look at the Join Dates). Although the key question in this particular discussion appears to be 'What did the egg come out of?' :innocent: It turns out that the second part of my use...
http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a434/dsfairhurst/PON%20-%20Militancy_zpsimy5h6ie.png I don't understand how you can have militancy so high, and yet have contentment at 95 and revolt risk at 0. As for the high militancy figure, I tried passing some reforms, but each time militancy dropped by onl...
http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a434/dsfairhurst/PON%20-%20Exploring_zpsju4vh22f.png (Edited to include screenshot). I've moved a team of explorers into one of the coastal provinces with 35-percent colonial penetration and tried to conduct an exploration mission in adjacent areas, but this appe...
Playing as Belgium as my first game to keep things as simple as possible, I've now brought the Colonial Penetration of some provinces in the general Congo area up to 35 percent. Noticing that I was unable to increase this further, I found a thread on this forum in which it was stated that at this po...
I can't see how you are supposed to obtain any new senior officers. Do they suddenly appear somewhere or do you have to actually do something to get them?
Please note - I've jumped into the deep end as this is my first AGEOD game, so comments such as ''It's the same as in game X'' won't help me.
Thanks for the detailed info. In the end I decided to buy the complete version. I would have preferred to buy directly from AGEOD, but the Steam deal was just too good. If AGEOD is offering the complete game at a discount, I can't find it. I think that AGEOD should keep a closer eye on how Steam res...
Owl wrote:The other DLCs are the smaller scenarios. If you are just interested in the grand campaign(s), then the Scramble of Africa DLC should be what you are looking for. I just noticed the complete package is on sale on Steam, though.
I notice that Pride of Nations is on sale this week with a 60-percent discount, so it costs around 9 euros. I've decided to buy it, but it appears that the expansions aren't included. (The complete version appears to have disappeared for the moment). Am I right in thinking that The Scramble for Afri...
