I like the canvas one best.

<t> 1700-1740 gets my vote. i'm interested in the great northern war and many of the other conflicts you just dont hear about much. we all know about napoleonic era, roman era (except eastern roman which is sooo interesting), medieval era, and ww2, its over played. thats said, i still love playing ...

im running on vista 32 and no problems outside the mouse lag and general lag on map and detailed battles when on advanced economy which is apparently not a vista thing

Has any progress been made with regards to the lag? I have the same issue and have been waiting until it's resolved. I havn't tried hadberz's trick yet.

I was planning on buying both TW and COGEE but I'm having so much fun with COG that I'm not planning on buying TW for now. I've owned all the TW games since Sho Gun but I may end up skipping this one (at least until I find myself bored again and ...

Dreadnaught - one thing that helps alot against Artillery is to place Infantry in Skirmish mode. They take less damage and thus less morale loss, and are a little more effective in their fire against Artillery. Also, note that ...

Max 86 is probably right. Which scenario are you playing?

1805 standard. I noticed my arty is not as powerful, so i assumed the superior french morale, training, etc. was part of it. It still seems over powered ...

<t> Having a great time playing my first game as Prussia in standard scenario. However, while playing detailed battles against France, I consistently lose battles to their artillery alone. One volley to inf or cav typically kills 1k-1400 men and sometimes into 3k! Well, that one volley effectively ...

Thats pretty cool. I haven't messed with making too many treaties yet. Just trying to learn to survive the French hordes as prussia ATM

I see.... If we could have cavalry screens AND elephants though, that would be awesome! Game is great though, just thinking about 'wish list' ideas. I'm a long time paradox gamer and I'm used to a world wide theater.

Would it be possible to to have a full world map with this engine? I'd love to be able to play Japan or whoever during this period. Plus it adds much more replayabilty and much more 'life' to the game. I'm guessing the systems demands to do that would be much too high though.

I'd like to have a larger map and the ability to attack an enemies over seas holdings. Also pirating overseas supply lines would be great.

I love it so far also. FoF was my first ACS game and I though it was great. CoG:EE is better and I enjoy the period better than ACW. Great job all at ACS!

Since I am not sure, I'm gonna ask this as a question first [;)]<br/>

Is the direction of the wind taken into account when the retreat roll is made after a naval battle? <br/>
Just had a naval battle with me (France) vs Britain, and ...

Well, I'm buying CoG:EE right away (like right now) and I will wait for E:TW. The TW games are great, but the fun ends quickly. CoG:EE sounds awesome, and it will keep me occupied long enough for decent mods for TW to come out.

I purchased FoF long after it's release, and not being a real big wargamer, I loved it(although i am a paradox fanboi). I do not own CoG, but I am off to purchase CoG:EE right now as I see it's released!

Awe yeah! Just in time for my girlfriend to be away for the weekend!

<t> The load times are long. I just built a new system, not a monster, but new: <br/>
Intel Core 2 quad 6600<br/>
New EVGA mobo, forget which one exactly<br/>
Nvidia 524 MB 9800atx (no sli yet)<br/>
WD velociraptor HD<br/>
4gigs ram<br/>
vista 64<br/>
<br/>
With that setup, I have some long ...

I've been playing WW2OL since the third patch (Nov. 2000?) I play axis, nick is 'beeznees'. The game has really improved, but updates are still soooooooooooo slooooowwww to come out. I'll look you up if I see you.

thanks for this, it saves so much time! i just reinstalled FoF, always loved the flag mod, but it's a major pain adding the flags to the correct units. now its done for me, thx much!
