I saw that too. Checked multiple times, the large graphic definitely said 30% off, but the actual game page only gave 15%. I just shrugged and bought RTW3 at 15% off.

Ditto. My only issue is, like so many of us, my eyes can't read tiny writing any more. I know there are ways to improve the UI (zoom, font re-sizing) but I've yet to get it "just right".
Great game though.

A thoughtful and very helpful post, Nikolai. Thanks for taking the time to write it.

And thanks to all the other long term forum members for the long history of help with the game.

<r> We take multicolored clothing for granted these days, in the early 19th century many dyes were expensive to produce and not of uniform color from one lot to another. <br/>
<br/>
It was difficult to get dyes to be entirely colorfast - so they wouldn't practically wash out in the rain - and to ...

Beautiful work, quite a talent you have there. Thank you for sharing with us

<t> My understanding is that troops entering and defending buildings are abstracted: rather than spend a lot of time developing animations of sprites passing through doorways/entrances, we get 'permeable walls'. They do indeed fight back when inside - once again this is abstracted to some degree ...

Wouldn't you just want to organize a grand army and wipe out the enemy in one big battle?

There is a specific "crush the enemy" kind of campaign that can be chosen if you want to do that.

<r> Try this instead, some forum names got changed - I've got an account there and the above link didn't work for me either.<br/>

It seems that way to me too. Which means if one owns enough locations you're open to being defeated in detail.

So what do the Scottish wear under their kilt in SOW?

Thankfully the game has no camera angle that provides an answer to this question.

In the spirit of the thread title "chiming in" - I haven't bought this game, but I would if it had AI.

According to the Flyer for the convention, it was held in Mollymook, NSW.

<t> Not to discourage you from pursuing the emulation/Wine method, but if you are going to run various PC wargames I've found it's best to just run windows. Bootcamp works really well. Of course you have to actually partition your disk, and boot into windows and all that entails - but you will find ...

Sometimes I feel sorry for all the Pacific theatre guys, it does seem to be a fairly neglected wargame topic. So why not.
After that, Vietnam would be good - looking through the board games (which I'm not familiar with) on the LnL site, "forgotten heroes"?

<r> This isn't really a bug per se, so I'm not sure if it belongs in the tech support section.<br/>
<br/>
When I activate a stack and then right click somewhere to move them, say 2 hexes away, the game automatically selects a path for me. I understand that it's not psychic, so it can't always know ...

Thanks for the new beta guys. I hadn't played any maps with LoS issues, so I can't confirm that side of it being fixed. I did notice the 'drawn initiative roll' fix works correctly. cheers

<t> What a great idea! Very good start, keep up the good work.<br/>
<br/>
I noticed that selecting 'tree 2' would work once, but after that to get another I had to first select 'tree 1' then go back to 'tree 2'.<br/>
Not important, but perhaps instead of the button text "show board" and "hide ...

On the other hand some of you are so damned good at modding a system that you turn a game into what can arguably be called a whole new product or at least something that should be DLC or a new campaign, theatre etc. Any one of which the dev planned to develop on his own to ...
