The problem is with windows 7/vista but not with any ageod game. Since most people will have moved past Windows XP, then it really is an issue for AGEOD, in my opinion. As you know, several people including me believe that the default installation path should be changed so that it is NOT in C:\Prog...

I have no technical assistance to offer ... although it does sound like Bob needs a 24/7 hot line number to Best Buy's Geek Squad! :) Just want to say "Howdy" to the two of you. It's been a while. Hi Mark! Good to hear from you. I just sent you a private message. When we last wrote to one another, ...

I got this instruction from another thread (remember, I have Windows 7, 32-bit): ***** 5. Reinstall AACW, but change the default directory box to read "C:\AGEOD\Rise of Prussia" [or any hard drive you wish] 6. Download the latest patch 7. Extract the patch file and run it [it should automatically go...

Hi, I am starting a pbem game. I followed the manual's instructions by starting a game (the short "1756 Invasion of Sachsen" game) and gave it a title. I did not issue any orders yet (as per the game manual) but saved it and exited. When I saved the game, a tool tip said that I had in fact saved tha...

*pulls pocus in a dark corner* "Then open your heart son, before than longing overburdens you!" A good response! However, the deepest longing in our hearts cannot be found in any game or any battle or any other thing we can purchase or possess, but only discovering who one truly is - an unassailabl...

The VGN map will be the biggest we have done so far, because it represents the world, but actually you'll get less regions to play the ACW on VGN than in AGEOD's ACW, to give you an idea of the scale. I think I counted 7 regions between Paris and Berlin last time I checked. You have extended the ma...

AGEOD has just launched its new website. Point your browser to http://www.ageod.com/ and let us know what you think! :) I have looked at all three versions (France, European, U.S.) and I was highly impressed with both the aesthetic appearance and the functionality of the site. The person/team who p...

Whatever it's name, I'm interested in buying it. I hope a decent manual comes with it even if it is a text file. Nappy's Campaigns (NCP) came with a .pdf manual that was posted on the user forums. I don't believe it was part of the game's download. I don't know if it was part of the CD version rele...

We have not balanced the scenarios to favor the historical outcome. We tried to be the more impartial (fair) possible, expecting that the realism of the engine is high enough to reproduce the historical outcome most of the time, given 2 players of the same playing level. It sounds like, as much as ...

Hi Everyone, I am in the midst of the Austerlitz campaign (as the French) and both my opponent and I have wondered if the campaign is perhaps unbalanced due at least in part to the excellent leadership capability of Napoleon. To be truly historical, Napoleon's brilliance would presumably be reflecte...

Ok, so I am playing the Polish campaign as the Russians. I freely admit, I am not that great at this game, and I am still getting the handle of the game mechanics. But, I feel like I made some sort of MASSIVE mistake as the Russians, and the only thing I can come up with is that my mistake was goin...

Does the command posture of a cavalry unit have any influence on its ability to interfere with supply? For example, does a cavalry unit have to be in an offensive posture? Thanks.

I am starting a revision of the PBEM rules for your consideration, before I forward it to Pocus for review. I am working from the latest Instruction Manual (Version 6.2 for NCP 1.03). [color="red"]Right now, I am looking at the basic sequence only[/color] (not fully entering the text of each step ye...

A very important element of Victoria are domestic politics and the social evolution of your nation...if VGN doesn't do that, I don't think I'll be tempted to buy it. So, the question is, are there domestic politics and social revolutions to deal with? :p I haven't played Vicky, but I have read many...

Of course, USA was a (if not The) major player in WWI. Arrived just in time to halt the German 1918 offensive after the Russians folded. This war was a close call for civilization!! :p apy: Please correct me if my memory is wrong, but I do believe that in spite of Woodrow Wilson's best efforts to a...

That's correct, for my understanding the opponent needs to create a subfolder with the exact file name. At least I did, the only time I didn't host. :) To go back to an earlier posting: I need someone to type out blow by blow directions on how to play PBEM with NCP. The game directions leave many h...

I appreciate your assistance, I was in the process of writing a review for this game and assessing the multiplayer aspects was part of it.

I believe Paradox Vicky is one of the best computer-grand-strategy games ever made. I wish you can add as much of the good ideas these great paradox boys have done. However, it is hard to master, several long-time-wargamers friends of mine didnt ever tried. (They played CK/EU or HoI, as they are no...

At the risk of being old-fashioned, I would think that if you wanted a German translation of a famous Biblical tag you would try to use Martin Luther rather than a machine translation. Luther has the same kind of resonance as the King James, and for similar reasons. Yes, I would think Martin Luther...

Sorry. I translated "Pride comes before a fall" (a Biblical saying, I think - Proverbs?) into German using http://www.freetranslation.com .

basically you are translating german into german ? :bonk: Sorry. I translated "Pride comes before a fall" (a Biblical saying, I think - Proverbs?) into German using http://www.freetranslation.com . It is a good site for a quick (and dirty) translation, but not for real accuracy, that is for sure. A...

Heldenkaiser wrote:Are you kidding? Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall, as you know.

Stolz kommt vor den Sturz. Would that be a decent translation (http://www.freetranslation.com)? It is only too painfully apparent that I don't speak German.

Hi Cyt, I noticed the link to this AAR from November on the Armchair General Forums, where I am a (very inactive) member. I got there by direct link, in turn, from another gaming forum: Gamesquad.com (which changed names and/or owners not too long ago). Did you use Paint to add lines, movement paths...

Again, congratulations to PT and PM and the AGEOD team. As with the awards given by the French game magazine, this award from that large and well established newsgroup should go far in advancing the name of AGEOD amongst the worldwide strategic gaming community. I am so happy for this small company!

bbriley

I think this is wonderful news! I am so happy for PT and PM and their AGEOD team. This is quite an accomplishment, and it should add significantly to the "brand recognition" amongst the worldwide gaming community.

See, if someone can pull out a sentence like that, then he don't have to look into the dictionnary for the definition of vain or vainglory. ;) Amen. I cannot speak to the French commentary or translation of "vainglory," but Lascar's succinct statement referred to by Pocus was excellent. Vainglory d...

Can't use this (Birth of Empires), was used already by previous games... :p leure: I have already heard some earlier, catchy titles. Also, how about: Rise of Nationalism (not Rise of Nations, of course) The Move to Nationalism The Developing Conflicts (i.e., culminating in WW I) A World of Ambition...

In that case, how about 'The age of Imperialism' or 'L'âge de l'impérialisme' since that is what the era from 1850-1914 is usually called. The Age of Imperialism is catchy and yet summarizes the era. It is true that it led to the shock of WW I, but I'd hate to focus on the negative. So Chris's titl...
