<r> Yeah, I know I overpaid to get the manual printed. I wasn't sure that the hard copy would come with a manual. In fact, I purchased Crown of Glory and it didn't come with a manual so it just isn't clear and I would say that Matrix isn't making a great effort to let buyers know exactly what the ...

<t> I recently purchased this electronic d/l.&nbsp; Then, I went to my friendly neighborhood FEDEX Kinkos to have the manual printed, for $30.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
I really like the game but I can't imagine making another purchase unless Matrix reconsiders there pricing structure.&nbsp; Seems like ...

If they ever issue another thing for this game they need to issue a finalized manual.&nbsp; V 1.2.26 is ok as is, but&nbsp;I paid $40 or $50 bucks for this game (can't remember) and then I had to pay to get the manual printed and that manual was far from sufficient.&nbsp;

Don't get me wrong, this is a great game and you will be able to entertain yourself for at least the next year with it.&nbsp; &nbsp;

<t> don't count on it. why would they put anymore resources into this game when AoE is coming out soon and now they have people who plunked down $$ for FoF and want that game supported. <br/>
<br/>
CoG is a excellent idea but I think it has fallen victim to Father Time and other factors.<br/>
<br ...

<t> Is there really much chance of another patch coming down the pipeline?<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
Why would they put more resources into this game&nbsp;with AoE&nbsp;coming out sometime in 2007?&nbsp; I'd love to see&nbsp;this game developed more&nbsp;but let's face it, my big decision now is whether to ...

<t> start simple...<br/>
1.&nbsp; are you running the most up to date version?&nbsp; they are on 1.2.26 beta right now & that seems to be pretty stable.&nbsp; I think it is safest to run all the updates in order.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
also you should be in 16-bit resolution<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
keep ...

Somewhere on this board I saw a request for a "no time limit" patch. After playing about 4 hours to progress 2yrs last night I can say that there is no need for such a patch.

<t> Thanks mate.&nbsp; I suspect that they were actually just refitting during the winter months.&nbsp; We were allies and I believe the rule book says something about ships recovering strength points while in ports (it doesn't say they have to be the ships owner's port).<br/>

I have ...

<t> The situation: December, 1792:<br/>
His Royal Highness, George III inquires as to the reasons for the docking of the Austrian Merchant fleet at the Royal Naval Yard at Kent. While November & December (1792) are not the most hospitable months to plow the English Channel, this uninvited intrusion ...

<t> Sarge, the screen looks good (I'd lose the whale myself though). Need any assistance? I am eager to give this game a shot of steriods to beef it it. It is an excellent engine but I find it lacks the punch necessary to give me that true Napoleonic experience.<br/>
<br/>
I'm looking into adding ...

<t> I'd like to add some more "period" music to the game. Do I need to overwrite the original music files or can I add on by sticking to the naming conventions in the various music and sound folders?<br/>
<br/>
Also, anybody have a data dictionary or an explanation of the sound & graphics files ...

<t> I don't intend to offend here, but how did this game win an award on 8/8/06 when the beta patch for version 1.2.26 wasn't released until 8/7/06? <br/>
<br/>
This game essentially didn't work until that patch came out and it isn't even final as I type today.<br/>
<br/>
Also, how did the ...

After upgrading to version 1.2.26, the "power" option in the start up menu has vanished, but it is still described in detail in the updated manual.

Any Explanation?

Ok, I upgraded to 1.2.26 but I don't see the upgrade to the game manual. So I question if I have successfully upgraded or not but the game says I have. Any way to get my hands on the manual upgrade?
