Re: size of ships is too small

Thanks for the help. It was the settings. Using a much lower resolution worked.

size of ships is too small

I have greatly enjoyed previous games in the strategic command series. So much so, that I have bought every strategic command game in the last few years as soon as it comes out.

It was awhile before I tried playing War in the Pacific, and I found the size of ships, even at the closest zoom level ...

Zoom level too small

It seems to me that the biggest zoom level is smaller than it used to be. Is there anyway to make the icons and units larger, besides windows magnifier? It has been a long time since I last played the game.

I have not had this problem with other Matrix games. For example, Field of Glory Kingdoms ...

Re: Pride of Nations 1.04.5 Update

Thank you for the update!

PON was my favorite game of all time! But I lost interest in it because or the hyper aggressive AI
and other problems that were introduced with some of the earlier patches.

I cannot express how grateful I am to you for patching it and fixing the main problem!

Some thoughts on Imperial Sunrise

This is a very interesting scenario, and I am having a lot of fun with it. I am playing as the Russians, and winning. My Strategy was to build up my forces as fast as I could, including all the artillery and corps, and let the Japanese deal with a classic, massive Russian steamroller. I broke the ...

Re: Mexican war scenario artillery


Interesting ideas :)

I have accounted for the superior US artillery by giving them both Field Artillery and Mobility tech, which makes them more powerful and able to move faster than their Mexican counterparts. The San Patricios are also already in the game, though as a "Regulars" (ie, better ...

suggestions for Mexican War scenario

Greetings, all.

I posted a similar message in the wrong forum. I now realize that this is the right one for suggested new features.

I have very much enjoyed the Mexican War scenario. I do have a couple of suggestions.

Artillery in this scenario seems to be the same for both the Americans and ...

Mexican war scenario artillery

Greetings, all.

I am back, and expect to be active on this forum.

I am enjoying the Mexican war scenario, and have a suggestion.

As far as I can tell, from only playing the Americans, Mexican artillery functions in the same way as US artillery. From my studies of the war, US artillery was far ...

RE: WEGO games, what happened to them?

<t> The AGEOD games,sold by Matrix, all use a WEGO system. They cover a variety of periods, from ancient times to the Spanish Civil war. They are wargames, without a doubt. <br/>

All these games use the same basic system, though it is modified to suit the subject of the game, and the more ...

When I click on the link described as "here" in the post, I get taken to another place to log in. Once I log in, I am given the choice of downloading the June 26 patch, or the initial download.

Please advise on how I can download the community pack.

Thinking of buying, but need one question answered first.

greetings.

I am thinking of buying this game.

The one thing I need to know before I do is whether windows magnifier works with this game.

Does anyone know?

It works fine for me as well. The patch made the difference, as the problem arose before I installed the patch.

I do have the latest patch. Obviously, it worked for you, and I assume that the Viet MInh was played by the computer in your try.
I will try again.

Viet Minh do not do anything in DBP

<t> this is quite odd. The computer is playing the Viet Minh in the Dien Bien Phu sceanrio. The only thing they do is move next to French units, and launch an occasional bombardment attack that does no damage. All the French have to dod is stay put in their fortifications and the Viet Minh do ...
