Hello, I purchased this game back at the beginning of 2013 (see thread http://www.ageod-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=190&t=28300) but I have lost both the download and the security key in relation to it. It does not appear in my library of games under the Unified Log In system. Is there anything yo...

I purchased Pride of Nations on Steam 3-4 years ago and I am now trying to re-install it (along with the 4xDLC) on a new hard drive. The install process seems to work perfectly OK and I have an icon on my desktop and I can access the manual. But when I try to launch the game it tells me the game is ...

Was he serious? I understand what he was meaning, but that's insulting democracy, here he continues the bourgeois propaganda, I don't see any difference. Try: Read this but replace Lenin by other common bourgeois president... Perfect republican propaganda. Yes, he was serious. He was talking about ...

It was the bolsheviks who wanted a Constituant Assembly , they had it 2 times, and each time they were not elected, the Socialists won. The Whites wanted the bolsheviks to apply what the bolsheviks did ask! The Bolsheviks, along with the other socialist parties, were demanding a Constituent Assembl...

Yes, and those soviets, of all Russia (at least), voted for a bourgeois-like State (I'm not pleased to write that) in very end 1917, not for a dictatorship, even of 'workers'. Some anarchists, very start of 1918, asked by bolsheviks, where happy to destroy this state , they didn't see it was giving...

There was no 'democracy' since bolsheviks took the power: They wanted to legitimate the taken by the votes, but the Socialists won*. So bolsheviks cancelled the votes, and later tampered the counts (Stalin invented nothing, he just applied this in the Party too). SR soon fought the bolsheviks for t...

Yes, in 1922 Lenin had eliminated all what was not bolshevik, he didn't need any longer the badly reputed Cheka. Yes, Stalin used the GPU to clean the Party like Trotsky and Lenin did on people. I don't think it is remotely credible to blame Lenin for the situation in Russia in 1922. The country ha...

I don't think so, the difference would be on the Party, it would change nothing for people in Russia or in the world. Stalin did not invente the purges, Lenin and his Cheka made as many deaths than Stalin per year , but Stalin applied them on the party too, not just on others. The Cheka was abolish...

Another really interesting "what if" question about Lenin is what if he had lived for another ten or twenty years. I think we can certainly say that Stalin would definitely not have become leader of the Russian Communist Party and that his policy of "socialism in one country" wou...

Ok, I will buy some of those units and check the tooltips. What about the question in my first post? Do you remember playing the Ice March scenario? I won another game yesterday as the Reds without clearing the Whites out of Novocherkassk, although I had done much better in the game and had just abo...

The Reds have a number of units in this scenario that I am not sure about . . . Engineers - they can repair railways, can they do anything else? Transmission Company - what are these for? Political units - how are these used? Presumably they are political commissars? River barges - do these just tra...

Mainly anarchists. But I read them because since long I was very often said being one, so I was curious about them. Before them I had almost only read encyclopedias!, so my 'anarchism' come first from my 'rationnal' culture, secondly confirmed by the waged work. Anarchist readings explain more or/a...

I watched "Lenin: The Train" this week on You Tube. It was made in the 1980s and had Ben Kingsley giving a quite good portrayal of Lenin and Timothy West as Dr Gelfand (Parvus). It tells the story of the "sealed train" provided by the Germans to get Lenin back into Russia in Apri...

Read again what I exactly quoted and wrote. Trotsky wrote "nor I", doing like he might be like Lenin. He wants us to imagine there was a chance he might be a lenin. Stalin really broke his dream lol In my original quote Trotsky makes it quite clear that without Lenin he does not think Oct...

I have just started playing again so I am not understanding everything about the game right now. I did the tutorials and then started with the Ice March scenario. First of all I played as the Whites and managed to win the first game even though I scored only 80pts and the Reds got 200 - apparently t...

It was about Lenin alone, Trotsky wants to make us believe he might alone have decided this coup. Trosky was not as a political genius than Lenin (if he were, he would be later in place of Stalin..) No, I think he is saying the opposite. Trotsky did not think that the revolution would have occurred...

Russian provisionnal governement, who was to continue the WWI with the Entente, had a real good reason to prevent Lenin return. The main reason why the Germans helped Lenin to reach Russia is that he was one of the very rare European Socialist who was for ending the WWI with a White Peace. The aim ...

Long after the revolution when Trotsky was in exile, he wrote: "Had I not been present in 1917 in Petersburg, the October revolution would still have taken place – on the condition that Lenin was present and in command. If neither Lenin nor I had been present in Petersburg, there would have bee...

How about this for a really mad idea? A Wild West game to fill in all the gaps between "Wars in America 2", the American Civil War, and World War One? I have no idea if it is feasible but what if half a dozen or so scenarios or campaigns were designed around various themes? Themes such as Davy Crock...

Sorry, but I am fairly hopeless at this game. I know how to move things etc but I have no idea of an overall strategy other than to try and reproduce what actually happened in real life. I think I will stick to single player for the time being.

Hello Wodin. Thanks for your reply. Yes I will give the game another try in a few months time. I have printed off the manual and I agree that the detail in the game is incredible. There is plenty of time for me to learn the game because I purchased it as a way of getting into WW1 now that the centen...

Hello Chris. Yes, I have just started at the top of the list of scenarios (Pequot War) and I am slowly beginning to work my way down them. I am looking at the large campaign for the French and Indian War now. I am a very slow learner of these type of games because I end up with my head stuck in vari...

I shall start looking at it after I have finished the Quebec series. I also noticed in the second episode of the Quebec series that th...

The Paradox model is great for single player, because you can pause as you wish and take your time. Yes, I was just thinking about that. Something like Europa Universalis IV, when it appears, would not be off-limits to me and would appeal to me primarily because it fills a great big gap in my histo...

IGOUGO is when you complete your moves on your own PC (move + combat) and then send the completed turn portion to your opponent - or hand it over to the AI. There is usually also a turn resolution element, but in effect, you move/fight etc with no interaction. A good eg of this is GGs War in the Ea...
