RE: Redeem your free Steam key!

<r> Just thought - Do we need to buy all the games again on Steam and then register them here to play them outside of Steam or something?<br/>
I thought there was a process for showing steam you only needed the "Universe" upgrade and not the full game. I just want to buy the latest expansion for a ...

RE: Redeem your free Steam key!

<t> I really don't get what I'm doing here. I go to the Slitherine site, go to the register page and it asks me to register the code for DW:Universe?<br/>

I thought I would have to register the codes for DS, RoS, Legends and Shadows in this Slitherine interface and get GIVEN a Steam code by ...

RE: Overbalanced Defence Tutorial Scenario 5

<t> Gotcha.<br/>
<br/>
I'm hardly getting "owned" though. Not lost a unit and have them all still at full strength when the 24th turn comes with about 50% of the objectives taken. Bridging unit might be an idea as several of the towns are immediately after well guarded river bridges and it would ...

Overbalanced Defence Tutorial Scenario 5

<t> Maybe my skills are dulling in my old age....who knows..but...<br/>
<br/>
In the tutorial campaign, scenario 5, I'm coming completely unstuck. I think you have 24 turns to get 7 or 8 towns. As an offensive op I'm finding myself hugely outnumbered. I have the basic units given for the scenario ...

No Serial Number for Retail Version

<t> I notice the retail version I bought is not up to date. I downloaded the 14.00 patch and it asks for a seriel number.<br/>
Am I looking in the wrong place? I can't see one anywhere. Disk, case and manual searched and no sign.<br/>

RE: Dual Monitor Problem (Windowed Mode)

<t> Steam collect data from time to time - and apparently multiple monitors is one of the fastest growing trends in PC gaming with 7% of users now having 2 or more monitors apparently.<br/>

Looking at it - it looks like it will peak at about 25% max.<br/>
Not massive - and not a problem ...

RE: Transport ships not filling their cargo holds

<t> Darn it - now I've spotted this (and it seems to be occuring in every game with every colony) It's sort of dulled my interest in the game. I like to set up a good network "early doors" It's my favoured strategy (yes - in RTS's I'm a turtler and in FPS's I'm a sniper/camper)<br/>

Still, alt tabbing should work (and does for me) so while the priority might be gone for you there is probably still some issue and ideally it should be fixed if it can be pinned down.

RE: Transport ships not filling their cargo holds

An abstaction is required. Currently it's just not quite working.<br/>
A detailed modelling of external logistics on a ship by ship - consumer by consumer - supplier by supplier basis is really not even required. The results can be completely opaque - they just ...

Ah - now that does work (I normally disable windows key - it drops you right out of some touchy aps - but works just fine here)

Thanks for the replies :-)

<t> I seem to remember that windowed mode would be supported for this game with the expansion.<br/>
Is it? I can't seem to find or access it if it is.<br/>
