I'm guessing this is likely to be browser / internet issues on your ...

<t> I don't really have enough experience of naval combat in the game to comment but as far as land combat with loaned units goes there are two primary issues. Firstly the game does not seem to resolve who gets to fight and who does not according to the way the manual says it should. Secondly ...

You must all be on the same version on a PBEM game, bad things may happen otherwise (that ...

<t> The User Preferences, set under Option on the intro screen, seem to attach to the save game files.<br/>
<br/>
It would make more sense for these to attach to the local installation of the game. I can see two advantages to this, firstly when you create a new game you automatically get settings ...

My recollection (which may well be faulty) is that you cannot currently add extra leaders in the scenario editor, only amend existing ones.

<t> I second that thanks !<br/>

I think I fall into the old Grignard category having been tempted back.<br/>
<br/>
I think the work you are currently doing is crucial to progress however painful it may be. It's seemed to me as an outsider that the game code has needed 'sanitising' for some ...

Simultaneous Diplomacy should stay part of the game, this wasn't the original part of the game design, and Im glad that this has been introduced. Well this phase is a "we go" function and we at TGHQ introduce a 24 hours rule from when the ...

<r> Thanks, that's a great post, I just thought I'd make it explicitly clear since there isn't a lot of commentary on yours.<br/>

<t> Just a note to help anyone wanting to run the game on Windows 10.<br/>
<br/>
You need to make sure that when you install the game or patches, you right click on the file and select 'Run as Administrator'.<br/>
<br/>
If you don't do this the game may well appear to install OK, but when you ...

Bug. The game has long had issues with working out who controls what in slightly obscure situations. It seems to have especial difficulty with the situation above where you are besieged in a city that is in enemy territory. Very disappointed this hasn't been fixed yet.

Do not try and understand the AI behaviour in this game. That way lies madness

Such are the fortunes of war. I've seen plenty of people over the years express curses at the random number generator in the game.

My first issue is in trying to get through the setup phase (i am an EIA first timer). Of course i have run into the program reporting I need to place factors when i believe i have all available factors placed. I was aware of this confusion ...

Are you running Windows 10? I am and I get this error when I try to run the program from the Empires in Arms (Quick Start) icon. If I use the Empires in Arms Game Menu icon and then click on Play that works. Odd.

<t> Well it's nice to see you back Marshall and improvements to the game are welcome, however there are a number of fundamental bugs/issues that need resolving. E.g. -<br/>
<br/>
1. Money transfers between major powers do not work. Money is subtracted but never arrives.<br/>
2. Skipping does not ...

Unfortunately I wouldn't hold your breath. Looks like this game is pretty much dead as far as development/fixes are concerned.
