New player (Question about the forum)

[dolphin]

I am periodically getting the Windows Network pop-up box asking me for name and password particularly when I try to access a posted link.


Here is the cut and paste of the message in the log-in box.

The server http://www.ageod.net at Website deactivated, password required / Websider deaktivert, passord kreves requires a username and password.

Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).


Can anyone explain how to get arround this as there are many links posted in the message threads and I can't access due to this problem.

If you can't answer that question maybe you can help me with another one I have more game related.

When you are assigning leaders one of the options is to give them a divisional command which I notice actually has a cost.

I am also noticing that the assignment to command the division seems to only last one turn and then you need to keep reassigning the leader as a Divisional commander continually paying the cost each turn you want them in command.

Is this normal; and also what advantage does doing this give your leader to justify the expense.

Due to Spamming, new registrants have some restrictions for a bit. Sorry about the inconvenience. It's not possible to separate out new legitimate registrants immediately from idiot Spammers. These restrictions are necessary to slow down the Spammers from immediately using behind the scene ways of spreading SPAM and MalWare links thru the PM system.

Then its a WAD. (Working As Designed) Thats OK then. Thanks for the reply.

I can assure you my only interest here is in the game and possibly playing a PBM with someone down the road when I finally get a handle on how to play.

Just purchased the game last night after playing the tutorial.

Just assign a leader and you should be good to go. This is from the Manual.

I'm glad to see you're cool with it. By posting 10 reasonable posts concerning game issues or comments it separates the bonafide registrants from the fly-by spammers who don't know squat about the games.

Well I am an old hand at playing war games. Started back before computers with the Ole Boxed versions. Avalon Hill, SPI etc...

I have played my fair share of computer war games as well.

Grand Strategy types are my favorite genre.

OK; I see now there is more depth to it than I was able to discern playing the tutorial scenerio's then. I can preume then you don't have to assign the leader of a division each and every turn and continually keep paying the costs.

During the tutorials I was primarily useing my x1 Star Divisonal Generals merely as subordinates to my Corp Commanders to increase Corp CP.

I have the latest 1.6 patch installed and will be starting my first full campaign in a little while to get my feet wet after I finish reading posts and making some notes which is what I have been doing now for near about 6 hours total on and off since I downloaded the full version from GamersGate last night.

For me learning how to play the games has always been half the fun.


I plan to focus as a Southern Player. I hate the Union with a passion.


P.S. 7 posts down and 3 more to go.

AND 3 days from your registration date. No way around that, but they go quick enough... By the way... Welcome to the AGEod forums.

I should have regiustered when I started the tutorials two days ago darnit.

Oh well. Thanks for the welcome and you will be happy to hear I am not a "WHINER". Yes I read that little exchange between you and so and so and your spat over corps not being able to be formed in the first 3 months of the war.


P.S. 9 down and 1 to go.

Regarding divisions, you must actually put the units in the division. Just hitting the division button doesn't turn the stack into a division. You have to hold control, select what units you want in, then hit the combine button. I think that's what you were running into.

That very well may have been my problem.

I was just hitting the button thinking it was supposed to
somehow increase the Generals CP. When that did not
happen I was left wondering if maybe it gave the General
certain one turn temporary combat bonuses simulating
Offensive Supply. I did not know what to think.

Krec is right. You only should have the patience to learn from your errors and understand the internal workings.
