Once I restarted it was ok. The Load Game screen does take a long time though when there are 20 save game files though.

RobC04

Yes, thank you very much. Your posts have clarified the way some of the game works. I appreciate your help.

I have been alt-tabbing out of PoN to read the manual, check the forums, etc... After about 12 turns (but several hours of running), the UI became so unresponsive that I had to shut down PoN and restart it. I would click on buttons and the window would not open. I saw people mention that they alt-ta...

I do thank you for the information and the reply. By the time I realized I was out of manufactured goods, the factory that used it as an input was already closed. So I guess I did have a building that used manufactured goods, but it didn't show up in my expenditures since it was closed. The UI you i...

I'm playing as Belgium and can't manage to get manufactured goods. To build something that produces manufactured goods you need 26 (which I don't have). It appears Luxemburg is producing 2 manufactured goods, but according to my Industry and Commerce window 2 are being used for unit maintenance. Is ...

Yes, thank you. That is the one I have.

RobC04

Thanks for the replies. I like to try and get a decent understanding of the mechanics before I jump in, so I guess I will try the tutorial and start looking at the manual. Maybe I'll start a learning game to just try stuff out as I read. What country would you recommend for just learning the mechani...

RobC04

Hi, My first question is, does the manual for PoN explain the systems clearly enough so you can understand the game just my reading the manual? My biggest problem with some of the Paradox titles is that reading the manual explains the UI, but doesn't really touch the mechanics enough. They rely on t...

Does Rise of Prussia start with an overwhelming number of units on each side in the grand campaign, like WIA 2 does? I know the number of units in WIA 2 probably isn't overwhelming to most of you here, but it is to me. I'm not talking about the number of different types of units, just the quantity o...

... You have to decide if you want to enjoy the challenge of a reasonably good AI or play something more simple like checkers to get your instant gratification fix. . I am glad the long turn times don't hamper your enjoyment of the game. There are a lot of good computer strategy games out there whe...

People can chase sales all of their lives, pinch pennies, and never get ahead. I really think that a sale on an object that is $20.00 is not the end of the world. If you are good with your money on a regular basis, this is no issue to have spent $20.00 on a game that is now on sale for $10.00 (i.e....

For me doing 50% to a game just released one and a half month ago is disrespectful for : 1 the developpers who worked so hard to create such huge games. 2 the customers who bought the game at release 20 euros. I can't imagine the same situation with a car, say, you buy it 20 000 euros this month an...

I find it much more annoying that I have 10+ games on my steam account but I am only allowed to play 1 at a time! So if I have my nephew and niece over I have to choose do I play a game or do they play a game I bought and paid for. I can understand that I cannot play two copies of the same game. Bu...

RobC04

Yes but what I am saying is that I brought a actual hard copy from Amazon in the (vain) hope that I did not want to use Steam to actually play the game. I still needed that internet access to install and play. I know, I was mostly agreeing with you. It is the same with the games I mentioned that re...

RobC04

Well I had to have an active internet connection to install Steam and register King Arthur. I brought a hard copy in order to prevent this. It became irrelevant. Yes, that is true for games that decide to require Steam (King Arthur, Civ 5, the more recent Total War games, etc). It annoyed me too wi...

As the prior reply said, DRM is Digital Rights Management. There are lots of different ways publishers implement DRM. Even some games on GamersGate has DRM, it is just that GamersGate doesn't put their own DRM on top of the games they sell. To play Steam games in offline mode, you select 'Go Offline...

RobC04

Why exactly wouldn't you guys buy it at steam? Just a general hate or is there a problem with the steam version? I tried the game with my brothers version and fell in love, but as everyone is bashing steam, I'm not sure where to buy it. Some people just don't like Steam on principal because it is a...

RobC04

Just where did I imply that people should stop making suggestions? Go back and reread my post. I stated my own opinion of where I think AGEod's limited programmer/developer resources should be better applied for now based on direct statements made to me in the past by Pocus in regards to GUI change...

RobC04

Maybe everyone ought to take up a collection for the costs necessary for the AGE studio to pay a new artist to redesign all the UI screens for Pride of Nations! It's been stated by Pocus that the UI graphics are the most difficult items to have designed and integrated into the game design. Myself.....

RobC04

Thanks for the advice. They are games I really want to like. I am sort of compulsive too in my need to feel like I understand everything and not overlook something. I'm sure that doesn't help my case :) . Strategy games have always been my favorite from when I first saw Civilization in the early 199...

RobC04

Perhaps you guys are right. I don't know where the bulk of the work lies when making a game like Pride of Nations (the engine or the historical research). Maybe some of the smaller campaigns would be more my speed, but in general I like managing a country long term. I own Birth of a Nation 2 and Ame...

RobC04

I know that the game isn't even officially out yet, but here it goes. I think it would be great if the first DLC / expansion would add a grand campaign with an earlier starting date. I really prefer games where you start smaller. By the time the game starts, Britain has land all over the world. To m...

Unfortunately we won't need the demo anymore

I do! I need to see if it is worth buying! I haven't been a fan of the other AGEOD games but this one looks very interesting.

RobC04

I can't get into Birth of America 2 or American Civil war but I am still excited about Pride of Nations.

RobC04

Maybe I'll just buck up and try the smaller scenarios and AACW. It is a game I want to like.

RobC04

Thanks for the replies. I don't know why I find WIA hard to manage, but I do. I do play games like Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, Civilization, but I usually start small and build up to a lot of units and land. Perhaps I will try again and try and find the smaller scenarios to get my feet wet. ...

RobC04

A while ago I tried to get into BIA 2, but you start with so many units and such a large number of regions it is too overwhelming. I had also purchased American Civil War, but didn't even try it because of getting overwhelmed in BIA 2. I don't really have trouble with the concepts of the game, just ...

How do you get manufactured goods?

Premature suggestion :-)

How many units / provinces to manage at start of game?
