Best wishes to all.

A wet grey November day so I'm idling around the web not doing admin that I should be doing. Hi Loki, glad to see you around, and thanks for the mention of SGS games. I'll look at them. I think I've got all the Ageod games. I don't think the system got out of date so much as the size of the games go...

Taillebois

Thanks Nikel.

I wandered past these empty corridors and realised I was on 1.10a

Taillebois

Yes best wishes to all.

I had a quick few turns of the Sibley/New Mexico scenario - why? - because he is mentioned in the spaghetti western movie "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly." - which was on telly the other day.

Hi Hobbes, I just happened by and saw you mention you tried making a mod for AJE. There is a Charlemagne mod for AJE: http://www.ageod-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=316&t=53090 ---------- PS - I can't even win these games on the easy settings let alone understand how to install a mod. I tend to play...

You have my sympathy Pocus. Making historical wargames is more a labour of love rather than a money spinner. Last weekend the Times had an article on the amount of money some people are earning from designing Roblox games. The link below will at least show you the beginning of the article which summ...

Welcome back. The old order changeth, yielding place to new. I've never got much further than the Finns or the Fall of the North. I'm reading a book on Moorish Spain (by Richard Fletcher) he points out the Moors conquered in 4 years what took the Romans 200. That at least inspired me to fire up AJE ...

Ca va Lockdown? Are you guys allowed out or is everyone at home playing old games or making new ones? The other day I bought a secondhand Toshiba Satellite laptop - originally Win7 but updated to Win 10. Only 4 gb ram - but all my old Ageod games play and look really nice. (PON and WON excepted on s...

A dismal episode: "The year 1756 was disastrous for England in America, and indeed upon all fronts. Oswego, the only English fort on the Great Lakes, was lost. The campaign of 1757 was hardly more successful. The fortress of Louisburg, which commanded the Gulf of St Lawrence, had been taken by ...

Churchill's book of the above name has some chapters on the British blunders that led to US independence.

It is well worth a read and shows how good this game is with the aggro of winter. Remember, half an inch of snow and England grinds to a halt.

hi Calvinus - thanks for the game Hi Pocus - thanks for the games can either or both of you make the latest link for 1.08q be on the first post. PS I hate trying to use an old iPad, it's too exhausting to try and fix missing capital letters above. PS I only occasionally play this game and even then ...

Blast.

Ten minutes later and I've lost Paris.

Must be something wrong with the PC after all.

Taillebois

Only 7 years late.
Thanks for this loki

I've got PON working on an old laptop and it curiously seems to run OK-ish.

Taillebois

Happy New Year Pocus.

I've just update my Field of Glory Empires and it seems much kinder to my poor laptop - at least there is less smoke coming out the fan grill .

Best wishes.

10:40 UK Tuesday 29th Dec - apparently there are 4 registered users as below (including me !) and 117 others.

Bing [Bot], Google [Bot], Majestic-12 [Bot], Taillebois

Would I be right in assuming most of the others are also bots ?

Taillebois

Yes - at least on my Lenovo laptop with integrated graphics.

debug assertion is something to do with C++ so try searching for that.
Various solutions have worked but not all the same for all people.

I hope that points you in the right direction.

That translated by machine as: " I just bought it, and well, the tutorials good, wanting to get started by slitting King Charles's throat and then stuffing Cromwell into a buttered barrel and filling it with cloves and throwing it around." I don't think the manual allows you to do that, ce...

Taillebois

Well another year slips by so I had a quick play of the Nathaniel Greene scenario.

Score victory, but not a proper victory.

I actually have a physical copy of the manual and looking through it just now I see that my generalship is on a par with Gage, Webb, and Murray ; i.e. - No Abilities

Taillebois

Well I've still got lots to play - I re-downloaded Rise of Prussia today - I bought it in 2012 and have still only played a few turns. RUS and PON also are still almost untouched. ---- Seeing the above posts - do you St Petersburg people know each other? ----- Best wishes to all, and thank you again...

This is the patch link I got it from today - which I happen to notice is Armistice Day 11th November (spooky huh?):

I kept getting the 1.08p sign come up even though I tried the q patch numerous times. Eventually I did a new install and before playing for the first time added the q patch and then on starting it showed the q. I hope this may help any lost souls wandering through here in 2020 and beyond. PS - also ...

I played a bit of ECW on an old XP laptop the other day and it played really well. I'm still only half through reading CV Wedgwood's "The King's War" and it's nice seeing places like Lyme Regis and Basing House in a war game. But then I still fire up AACW and AJE just to drool at the maps.

Taillebois

Hi Pocus, Thanks for replying. On most Ageod games I play on medium delay - otherwise as I slowly move the cursor across the screen all manner of things are popping up to distract me. ------- Maybe experts and game designers are too driven by what they think players should be doing and how they shou...

Taillebois

Ain't nobody here 'cept us chickens.

I couldn't stop the instant tool tips either.

Why do so many interfaces seem designed to annoy. Even as I write this there's a block on the right with those flickering jumping smilies.

Taillebois

I saw that there is a sort of AI v AI feature for some Ageod games mentioned in the RUS forum that is little talked about. Am I right that: You can run up to 9 turns automatically. I've tried it a bit on CW2 and AJE Is this correct: 1. Go to options, system, Error Logging - and set to on; then selec...

Taillebois

And thank you for many hours of historical enjoyment. Even though I'm not very good at the games they have given me much pleasure. I tried calling in at the Meylan /Grenoble address a couple of years ago when I was driving through France hoping to catch one of the Phils at work - but they must have ...

Taillebois

Not really an answer I'm afraid but by coincidence I just read Robert Graves's "Lawrence and the Arabs" It was published in the 1920s about the time Lawrence changed his name to Shaw. You can probably get it for almost nothing - my copy cost £5. Coincidence No 2 - about a month ago I stopp...

To get flavor of er, Paraguay, I recommend The Tomb of the Inflatable Pig by John Gimlette:

Thank you Pocus and all others who helped with these games. They bring history alive, like when this morning when I read: "In January 1815, a last humiliation was suffered by the British Army at the Battle of New Orleans, where General Andrew Jackson imposed a bloody defeat, indeed a massacre, ...

Taillebois

Leibst, Thanks for your games. I only scratch the surface but they stimulate me to learn more history. Espana - got me to read Beevor's book And ECW - to realise how little I knew of my own country's civil war. (And so nice to see Lyme Regis, near where my house is, in a war game !) Best wishes for ...
