Strategic level games of the ancient world are few and far between and this one promises to do the subject justice based on the excellent AGEOD engine. Imagine if this opens up a whole new realm of other ancient strategic games: Alexander and Diadochi, the Greek Persian wars, Peloponnesian war, Bibl...

I must agree with you on this. The original AGEOD forum had a unique style and look that somehow made it feel like AGEOD. The place where well crafted historical games were meticulously researched and presented with a high aesthetic value (the beautifully drawn maps and counter graphics) that set th...

I REALLY think your installation is completelly messed up :blink: ... have you edited any file?... if not, please, try reinstalling the game... I haven't modified any file. But others are also finding these population anomalies. If the installation is messed up the source of the error must be in th...

The population ethnicity is pretty messed up to say the least. There are no Romanians in Romania but there are Romanians to be found in the Baltic countries and throughout Russia and east of the Urals. Siamese are also found in Kugan and Ichim. Tuaregs are in Bulgaria and Switzerland is 100% Swedish...

This animated sequence from the 1968 film, The Crimean War, captures the essence of the Vainglory of Nations of that era. Vainglory of Nations is the perfect title for the game.

What I'm getting at is that I see very few alternative outcomes for a WW1 game. Given the weapons and tactics of the time, it's hard to see how the Germans could have overcome the French and English. So unless the French player is totally incompetent, the Germans probably shouldn't be able to take ...

This is a little strange! Can anyone think of a reason why this works? I'm blowing the fluff from my vents as I type but spraying the insides sounds a bit dodgy :sourcil: Nothing dodgy about spraying compressed air in the internals of a computer to clear out the dust. This is standard PC maintenanc...

Yes, sure, but if it depended on me, only after... :siffle: - A full diplomatic/military and production Napoleon era one - And Ancients game with Romans, greeks and persians around - A fantasy wargame with orcs and elves - The Frederic the Great game - A 30 years wars - A 100 years war - A crusades...

Personally I have never really seen a WWI PC game. The war itself IMO was the most "terrifying" war (if any war can be labeled as such) -- 4 years of basically little to no ground being taken (at least in the West), yet millions of lives lost to the horrors of trench and poison gas warfare. I am ve...

Thanks for the quick reply. The mystery is now solved. Neither the tool tip or manual seems to directly define that percentage indicator.

Does anyone know what the percentage that sometimes appears in the Stack panel indicates?
Thanks.

Got a question. Not seen this GoA. I did play a bit (around 20 years ago) Avalon Hill - WWI - Guns of August. Was not very good, but the first game I knew on WWI. Are you talking about this game? Is it been re- done on computer? please can someone put a link? edit- Oh finally i did found--- Matrix ...

Lascar

I did not mean only the graphic but the whole engine that GOA is using. Its is outdated and for me it does not provide enough information about units, technology and politics so there is no real "feel" that you are really playing a true WW1 simulation. There is a HUGE lack of WW1 games and that mak...

Lascar

Who would know that better than you :innocent: GOA is not something that I would want to spend my time playing it as it looks too basic and WAY outdated for my taste - it looks like the games I have played in 1990s .... I would be a shame to dismiss it because of it graphics. It is a far better gam...

I have been playing Guns of August steadily since it came out last August. It has a truly elegant design that gives you a good feeling for the strategic challenges unique to that period. The mechanics of the game flow with a nice rhythm that allows you to focus on the actual game play rather then st...

Ok, I'll try to give you an "official" response... :cwboy: #2 : GI is strictly compatible with DirectX 8.1 , while for technical needs I'm forced to use a development environment that needs at least of DirectX 9.0 . That's why I'm not able now even to plan any patch for GI. I noticed when recently ...

Lascar

"Vainglory of Nations" is a perfect title, please, do not change it. :cwboy: Translating it is slightly more difficult, but shouldn't be impossible. "Vanité des Nations" n'est pas une traduction exacte, mais n'est pas complètement à côté ("Vanité & Gloire des Nations" non plus, garde l'acronyme et ...

It is great to hear that all of your costs for developing ACW have already been met. Your success is well deserved not only because of great products but also for your exceptional customer friendly relations and support. It seems that Pocus has been working non-stop since BoA doing new game developm...

Lascar

Not only does AACW recreate the "feel" of organizing armies and planning operations (including the frustrations of inept political generals) but it has one of the most (if not THE most) sophisticated AIs I have ever seen (and I've been around a long time). The AI countered by spreading the Union ar...

This is very good news.

I have been wanting to purchase GI for many months, but have not been able to find an english version to purchase.
