It's slightly verbose, but anything is better than the uninspiring Pride of Nations.

Worse than Sim Paedophile?

It's way too long, but yeah it's better than the uber anodyne Pride of Nations.

Krasny

How about Vainglory of Nations.

Or Pride of America only for the US version of the game.

Seriously, Pride of Nations is a Liberace gay title.

Paradox isn't clueless, but the idiots running the business are. OK, they're making substantial short term profits, despite their last two games being pants, due to a large forgiving fan base. They probably spent several brainstorming sessions coming up with Pride. Imagine if instead of hiring busin...

Ageod's Americans Being Naughty

I would buy that one!

Krasny

Vainglory is such a wonderfully redolent 19th Century world. It's also a word that grabs the eye. Pride is such a prosaic, blandly positive word. Ageod sold their soul to paradix. Now they can't even name their own games! LMFAO Paradix! :mdr: Clearly the marketing/PR department at Paradox don't know...

Has VG been renamed?

If yes, why choose such a stupid name?

If you dumbed down the name even further it would be Goo-Goo-Da-Da.

Krasny

I see different versions of the game name, some with Vainglory as one word, like the title of this subforum, and some with two words, like the title in the recent screen shots.

Given that vainglory is a more precise term than vain glory, I assume that vainglory is correct.

Krasny

Sorry about the abortion bit. Way out of line.

Je suis désolé.

I sense there is a great game in there, but it's kinda hard to spot at the moment.

Troll is a bit harsh IMHO. Most of my comments on the game are justified, albeit expressed in a forthright manner.

And i don't understand why people are arguing about this issue. Is so difficult to play with a map rotated in a different way as we're accostumed to see in other PC games? No it's not difficult. But we shouldn't have to. The map is plug ugly as it is, having a non-standard map orientation for no ap...

Krasny

I don't really understand why the map has to be at the crazy orientation that it is. All other grand strategy games have North at the top, including all AGEOD games and Great Invasions. Also I don't understand why it is such a great deal of effort to change the orientation, surely you just load it i...

I don't really understand what coordinating armies does.

Would someone wiser than myself care to expound on the subject?

Thanks.

Krasny

Incredible! Le Ricain discovered one thing that I did not know!!

Seriously?

Krasny

Right click to move it?

That's nice to know.

What's wrong with left click? Right click to move something is a little obscure.

Krasny

In Tutorial 2, the battle screen is partially obscured by the tutorial window, thus making it impossible to place the corps where the tutorial instructs.

Krasny

I've looked everywhere for the 'counter' option. Where is it?

Krasny

On the siege screen the mouse pointer freezes at random intervals for random amounts of time.

Plus: Why is moving and merging so awkward?

Krasny

Would be nice. Or move it.

Krasny

YAY!

I have managed to merge units!

You have to be pixel perfect.

Krasny

The map orientation is crazy. :bonk: Having North to the left may make sense in purely technical terms, but is an esthetic abomination. Every other game I can think of has North at the top. Including Great Invasions, All AGEOD titles and all Paradox titles. The feat of pixel perfect dexterity requir...

Krasny

I'm following the instructions in Tutorial 2, and the units aren't combining.

Any ideas?

Krasny

If the two detachments are inside the same area, you can drag & drop one detachment over the second one. I mean the soldier representation on the map, of course. When doing so, a popup menu will appear, asking you which is the detachment you want to merge with. That's not working for me. I have yet...

Krasny

I have a a couple of questions: 1. How is trench warfare handled? Except in early 1914 and 1918, gains were measured in a few kilometers, not an entire province. 2. Is there any compulsion to conduct futile (in terms of strategic gain) trench warfare? If not won't the game stagnate into a sitzkrieg?

Krasny

Has this been corrected yet?

Krasny

How do I turn them down?

Krasny

Thank you

Krasny

How do I start a game with only one nation?

Thanks.

Krasny

i was in an aggressive posture

Krasny

is this scenario just a crap shoot?

also i swear i see rebel units reinforceing the besieged comrades without beating the siegers first

but the game moves way to fast for this to be more than an impression

Krasny

thanks philippe am i the only one who is suffering from this problem, or is it common to all PCs with decent specs? yeah i have AACW, but i was rather too much for me, so since BoA was reasonably priced, i thought i would give it a shot edit: i have used the option to slow it down as much as i can

Krasny

just bought the game this afternoon, worked my way through the tutorial, MUCH simpler that ACW (phew!), and played the scenario reconmended by the tutorial: carolinas 1776 lulled into a false sense of security by the tutorial, i used brown's force to try to take camden and landed all of my reinforce...
