RE: Changing screen resolution

After playing Commander: The Great War I just had to try Europe at War Gold. I just bought it today and am very disappointed at the screen resolution. I expected better from a fairly modern game. 1024x768 hasn't been the standard in may years now. I guess I'm stuck with it now. [:(]

RE: Legion Gold on Windows 8

<t> Thanks.&nbsp; It works in a DOS box.&nbsp; I'm an old fart who spent 45 years as a computer tech so I remember DOS very well.&nbsp; I did try it before but, being impatient, I tried skipping the intro video which really screwed things up.&nbsp; When I let the intro video play through the game ...

Legion Gold on Windows 8

I just purchased Legion Gold since it looked good and it's on sale.
It installs okay and the intro video works but then the screen goes to 640x480 and the color is horrible.
I've tried several compatibility settings to no avail. Have I wasted my money?[&:]

RE: Victory conditions met but game continues

Thanks for the quick reply. That's a very strange way of keeping track of the victory conditions. If a manual for the game existed it would contain this information.

Victory conditions met but game continues

I've just completed 2 games with Science victory conditions checked. I achieve over 75% research completed but the game never ends. Am I doing something wrong?

RE: Editing existing Scenarios?

<t> Thank you for the advice and information. I have a lot to learn about tactics but was finally able to win the Partisan scenario by giving myself an extra rifle squad. I still can't figure out why the Soviets seem to hit every time while most of my shots miss. Oh well, like I said, I still have a ...

Editing existing Scenarios?

Can the existing scenario's be edited to create a new scenario? I get my butt kicked constantly on "Easy" level so I would like to add a few troops to my side.

RE: Very difficult for novices

Thanks for the tip. I modified the xml file to give me a small improvement on unit stats. After a couple of tries I finally succeeded in beating Eidelweiss. I still get beat a couple of times first but I'm having fun again.

RE: Very difficult for novices

Don't get me wrong. I do appreciate the assistance. I was just getting very frustrated and decided to take a break and play with something that I can beat occasionally.

RE: Very difficult for novices

<t> I keep running out of time. It seems impossible to eliminate enemy troops blocking my path and make it to the objectives before the game ends. Even when I get a break through I run out of time. In the second Axis scenario (Eidelweiss?) the game ends about 2 turns before I can get the final ...

RE: Unity of Command always wipes me out!

Thanks for your suggestion. I didn't know what forum under the Unity of Command would be appropriate. Anyway, I posted it in the After Action forum. Hopefully it will get a positive reaction.

Very difficult for novices

<t> Okay, I'm really a novice at strategy games although I played Panzer General and all the sequels. I recently discovered Panzer Corp and Battle Academy which are great and have an experience level. I bought Unity of Command expecting to have fun but after the tutorial and 1 easy scenario I just ...

Unity of Command always wipes me out!

<t> Okay, I'm really a novice at strategy games but I love Panzer Corp and Battle Academy. I bought Unity of Command expecting to have fun but after the tutorial and 1 easy scenario I just can't make any headway. I've just finished playing Eidelweiss for about the 10th time and I never get even ...
