Re: resolution and Multiple monitors

Open the path to the cw2 executable and in that folder you'll find
AgeSettings.exe
I own the non-steam version.

RE: Maps

I would recommend a freeware program called IrfanView:

It can read PCX files and has a print option.

RE: How to get 1920x1080?

This is what i've tested:
select 'Preferences' and check 'Window mode' (not full-screen).
Apply and restart the game. Make your selections (scenario etc)
and once on the map, maximise the window. Worked for me on 2560x1440,
but the scrolling was a bit slow :-/

RE: Why I would not buy this game again!

<t> You didn't understand what is simulated in this game: the higher your command, the less<br/>
you order individual units. For example, as a corps commander, you give orders to your division<br/>
commanders. And in grog mode, you are limited to sending couriers and command by HITS.<br/>

RE: Problem , move foward ,backward map

There is a file 'sowwl.ini' in your 'documents\SowWL' folder with a parameter named 'camfwdspeed'.
It was set to 100, but i changed it to '999' and my forward camera is now racing over the battlefield.
Worth a try.

RE: Scenario 11

The high score list shows a possible promotion or the required score to be promoted
(i.e. finish the scenario). #7 shows a score of 3500, a major victory.

Edit: #7 -> #11 is also a "carry over" scenario (manual page 14/15).

RE: scourge of war gettysburg will not play

You did set the compatability mode for SOWGB.exe or the autorun.exe?
If SOWGB.exe, then right click on it and select "Run as Administrator" - worth a try.

RE: On sale

Nothing wrong with the interface, just mouse clicks and hotkeys as usual.
There are a few tutorials on Youtube to overcome the somewhat steep
learning curve.

Absolut great game.
