Yeah. Chess engines are at 3000+ ELO now. Carlson is 2860 or so. You are not regularly beating Fritz 14 unless your in sparring mode and its handicapped in some way. The above poster says I seriously doubt. I'd go further and say impossible.

It says I need an investment rights treaty on p 44 of the manual. Not sure why it's not an option though.

I believe you need at least a commercial agreement with holstein. Possibly passage agreements?

Crimguy

A factory I own has shut down because I apparently do not have investment rights with Holstein (I'm Prussia). Looks like I get that via treaty, but it's not an option as far as I can tell. It's my first campaign so I'm only a couple turns in.

Any help appreciated.

Well, it seems no one is taking responsibility for the Mac version. I checked the credits and it's 1.01. The credits only mention Paradox and Ageod. A lot of their titles are done by virtual gaming and they are mum. Phil - lets patch the Mac version! If you didn't do the port directly, can you at le...

Crimguy

There are a lot of titles that are ported by 3rd parties, and yes they can suck. Valve and Blizzard are two exceptions. The game doesn't have the same load screen I've become accustomed to with AGEOD titles, so I didn't initially see the version number. On checking out the application (Get Info) it ...

Well, PoN was on sale on Steam so I decided to get it as well. Two purchases of Pride of nations for $10. Not to shabby. And it gave me an opportunity to confirm my suspicions. The Windows version of the game runs significantly faster, in a virtual machine, than the so-called native version does on ...

Crimguy

Hello all - I've been interested in purchasing PoN for a bit, and decided to jump on a sale gamers gate had. I've been using macs for a while now so I bought the Mac port. The performance is horrible. Really shocking how slow scrolling is. So, out of curiosity, I installed my copy of AACW in my inst...

I like the dev diary Shannon is doing with MWIF.

Only with a little more progress ;-)

Crimguy

I'm having a blast putting all of the french into google translate. I know it's missing something ;-D

Crimguy

I guess. . . I have never had a problem spending a small mint for a good game because I know it will give me hundreds of hours of enjoyment. Thousands of hours in the case of War in the Pacific, so I guess I got my $70 worth there :-D

Crimguy

I'm wondering if Real are done. If they're splashing that kind of cash around, and make some key trades to create a solid back four, they will have an unstoppable force. Are they trying to stretch another year out of van nistelrooy? That guy is a great player, but he's also a fossil. Van Persie hasn...

I'm from Abington, PA, which is just south of Doylestown (on that little road between Philadelphia and Doylestown). I'm assuming that road is supposed to be Rte 611.

And my current home is probably next to the cactus in the upper-left portion of the Southwest box.

Crimguy

I should point out that the reason I started following it was because of a soccer game on the playstation :-D

Crimguy

I am a die-hard American football fan, having worn Eagles green my whole life. I used to make fun of soccer even though I played it as a kid. But I started following the EPL around when Wenger took over for Arsenal, but it was tough to follow when you couldn't watch the games. Mostly listened to fix...

Crimguy

They're on a bit of a weird run right now. Did you catch the gunners today? Crap performance, but Arshavin was clinical with 4 goals. Torres is a stud, too. If he wore white I wouldn't even be able to utter a compliment about him ;-D

I started up a new game with with the 1.13b patch. When I click on a tab for one of the containers it brings up a "Rename" dialog box. Cancelling and hitting a tab doesn't help. Also I can't seem to make any divisions. Not sure what's happened. Any help appreciated. I should point out that I'm not h...

Meant to ask -- what is BFTB and WIA? COTA? Are the only AGEOD games available now, BOA, AACW and Napoleon? COTA - Conquest of the Aegean. Panther Games pausable tactical game. Hex gaming without the hexes, and without the turns. One of the best games (and AI's) ever. BFTB - Battles for the Bulge -...

IIRC, the developers who work with Matrix are allowed to set their own prices. I guess they think it's the War in the Pacific of Civil War games.

Crimguy

Markshot, tell me they're not actually paying you money over here ;-D BTW, I own both and enjoy AACW more than FOF. I just can't get into the tactical battles, which seem way too slow for my liking. If they threw in Take Command: Second Manassas for the battles, it would be a godsend. CWNut77, FOF i...

Thanks for the title Drakken. Always wondered what that tune was, and assumed it was from the era. If you watch the Ken Burns documentary, you'll be whistling it for weeks.

Crimguy

AI is definitly better, protecting Capital, concentrating forces. It doesn't raid endlessly with cavalry against fortress. I think I witnessed a more conservative AI (on medium), but let me share an experience I had last night. After patching AACW to 10c, I resumed my game. Late 1862. I had just sw...

In the game the union rate of replacement is 1/2 that of the confederacy. Personally, I think it's too low and should be 1/3 or possibly 1/4, forcing the Union to have more green units by having more new units. I can see room for other penalties, such as having a victory point cost for the North. No...

Crimguy

Never noticed that. Agree with your thoughts though. I rarely click on the Nato symbols on the right box. I find myself moving through them by clicking on the Nato symbol on the container pic on the bottom.

Crimguy

Did you read the message about re-downloading the patch? Sounds like he released a buggy one by accident . . .

One other thing I'd add (I like both McPhearson and Foote, but am only up to Volume 2 of Foote), is a set of audio books from the Great Courses series. Gary Gallagher (UVA?) does the lectures, and he is terrific. Wish he taught at my university. 40+ thirty minute lectures. Very well balanced, and th...

You guys are all hitting the pipe. Joe Johnston is overrated as is, IMHO. Rosecrans is probably about right as is. He was by no means brilliant, but was a capable commander overall. He also led from the front, unlike Lil Mac, who was frequently out of touch with the goings on in the battlefield (Mal...

not gamey at all. Had he survived...He'd most likely have been sent out west to command the Army of Tennessee in my humble opinion. If you've got a 3-star Jackson...it's a waste NOT to use him as an Army Commander. Although i've heard he picks up a negative ability once he gets that 3rd star...not ...

Es porque su computadora no entiende Ingles o Frances :p leure: I´m having big problems with the new patch over a newly installed game. Its very strange: upon launching the game, an error message appears followed by others (couldn't find several files) and finally installation aborts. And a new fold...

RE Lee is going through Civil War Game Overload(TM) these days. He's just ordered AACW and is waiting for Matrix' WBTS. I'll forgive his exuberance. . .
