Ok, thanks for answers. I guess we are stuck we a bad naval AI. Do you think the cause of this is some problem inherent to the design of the game or that most players, and perhaps the designer, are not that interested in naval warfare?<br/>
When I go to Lancers site and ...

Webizen,

Thanks, I had forgotten this. This is useful but highlighting or somesuch more visual device would help those of us with weak eyes and overall make it quicker to locate sister units.

Hello,

What Matrix games, if any, if bought today, do NOT require Steam?

Thanks

<t> Hello,<br/>
<br/>
If there is already a thread for this topic sorry to repeat and please direct me to it. I would be interested to here your results with the Naval AI in New Dawn Random games. Specifically:<br/>
<br/>
1) Does the AI build the full range of naval units or mainly concentrate ...

The ability to quickly locate all the subordinate units of HQ or all the sister units (those with same HQ) by clicking on the unit/HQ and all the subordinate/units will be outlined or highlighted.

Thank you!

There is a way to change the flag symbols on the units which I have forgotten. Could anyone refresh me? Also, is it true that the AI will now build and fight navies?

Thank you

<t> Hurray for the game designers here! I am so tired of having games that are not as good as they could be because we have to accomodate the 2-5% of players who do multiplayer. The designers of Galactic Civ II said exactly this and never designer for multiplayer and had superior games. And 76mm, I ...

<t> The developers should be thanked for the inclusion of many female characters and units. It is very nice to see a non-sexist adventure strategic game for a change. They may also find they sell more to women and girls, who can be expected to have little interest in games in which the females serve ...

<t> The new update looks very good. But where can I find instructions on how to use all the new things? For instance I see we now have generals but I don't know how to rename them or move them or assign them to specific hqs ect. Where is this officer pool you speak of?<br/>
<br/>
Is it really true ...

What is AE please? Curse acronynms. thanks

<t> SMAC was, and is, the finest turn based strategy game ever made. Among its many extraordinary features were the Social settings and their interactions with the diplomacy. If you opted to be a democracy the Religious and Hive factions did not like you and would eventually go to war with you. The ...

Sorry, I read it wrong. Now I understand. Tactical style, move by move, detailed combat is only for stacks led by heroes. All other combat is the method you just described. Excellent. You seem to be anticipating my every wish.

Thanks

<t> Much better than I expected. This amount of involment of the player in the tactical battle is exactly what is needed, and often lacking, in many strategic games. I would only question why this system is available only to the stacks that have heroes in them. Why not to all battles?<br/>
<br ...

<t> Thanks for the information Breca,<br/>
<br/>
But this is excellent! I had expected the standard sorcerer casts level 9 fireball spell and incinerates enemy army. This is much more sophisticated and interesting. I will not mind playing the game with such a magic system at all. Indeed, the more ...

Sorry,

Forgot to put the main reason I don't like magic in fantasy games. Magic is too much of a deus ex machina. I hate to have superior strategy or tactics come to nought just because the enemy has a strong spell to throw.

<t> This may seem a strange request for a fantasy game but I will explain my motives in a minute. I would like to ask the developers if it would be possible to have a setup function with choices something like this:<br/>
A) A heavy magic world<br/>
B) A medium magic world<br/>
C) A light magic ...

I did not mean that all portraits should have scars. What I am reacting against are all the pictures you see in these types of games of beautiful young women, though mostly men, who look like they just came from the hair salon. What I am really asking for is that faces ...

<t> Gray Mouser,<br/>
<br/>
Thanks for the explanation. My knowledge of computers and programs is tiny so I often ask developers for things that sound easy to me but are in fact difficult for them to do. Perhaps though we could be given some kind of progress report of the autoresolve battle while ...

Ashbery76,

I have no idea what your reply means. I gave historical examples of a serious subject and you reply something about male-female paintball. Strategy and war games and their forums is not, or should be, a boys club only.
