RE: Regret Purchase

<t> I was almost 99% sure I would regret buying and I do. Since people are answering questions here I will ask my first problem that came up. It was frustrating enough to cause me to quit and come back later.<br/> <br/> Did tutorial, not helpful.<br/> <br/> Start game, Schleifen plan, let's move som...

RE: Holiday Savings Comes to Strategy Gamers!

And since I'm looking at this thread already and have no better place to ask and it's a quick question...

For the games I do buy, can you download a game and have it installed on two different PCs at the same time? I've bought games before but I forget how the download works.

RE: Holiday Savings Comes to Strategy Gamers!

<t> I was really hoping forge of freedom would be sold for a more reasonable price. I still cannot pay over $30 for such an old game. Even $20 is pushing it at this point. But I'm patient and I can wait. Someday they will want my money I'm sure, and the game will still be as fun whether now or years...

Similarity to "Commander Europe at War"

This games looks (at least superficially) very similar to Commander World at War, which I own already. I'm wondering if anyone here who has played both games can offer a comparison of the two games, and what benefits there are of "upgrading" to this new game.

RE: Has Matrix ever considered releasing old games at competitive prices?

<t> Interesting discussion about which model is more profitable in terms of selling more at a discount vs. less at full price. Hard to know without Matrix weighing in on the issue, but I doubt they are getting any consistent sales from 10 year old games that still sell for $50-$70. I would be honest...

RE: Has Matrix ever considered releasing old games at competitive prices?

<t> I think if a game is still selling at a reasonable rate then of course keep the price high. But of all the games on this site, there are surely many of them that are no longer selling. I just can't imagine that are many people still paying top prices for some of these old games. I understand it'...

Has Matrix ever considered releasing old games at competitive prices?

<t> I know that Matrix has sales from time to time offering games at a discount. I have bought a few games this way. But there are lots of games here that I would buy instantly if they were priced competitively, yet I can't bring myself to pay $40-$60 for even at a 33% discount. Sites like GoG or st...

RE: Why is this game selling for $50?

<t> If the game was priced like any other game from 2006 I would have bought it already as well. It's good to see that people still enjoy the game, but you're not maximizing profits by selling the game at such high prices. It's a problem with a lot of games on this site. It's as if they don't want t...

RE: Questions from a wargamer.

<t> Well I would highly recommend giving it a try. There is still a pretty big fanbase for a game so old. And if you do give it a go you will see that the campaign system is very abstracted. You basically are playing the historical battles but with slightly different setups based on what happened in...

RE: Which Matrix game has the best AI?

Wow, some good consensus on Conquest of the Aegean.&nbsp; I'll have to check that out.&nbsp; I normally am drawn to the more grand strategy type games but if the AI is that good I will give this a try.&nbsp; Thanks all.

Which Matrix game has the best AI?

<t> I only have ever played a couple of Matrix games and the AI has been fine, but I am interested in some other titles. I was wondering what some of the more experienced people thought was the game with the best AI in their opinion? And by best I mean it puts up the best fight, doesn't make many mi...

I am looking to get one that is strategic in scope, allows for a wide variety of unorthodox strategies as op...
