Sharing my gameplay experience

<t> I bought this on Friday. I'm glad I did. It's really cool.<br/>

(I then bought 4 other games in the sale, but that's another story...saved about 150 bucks buying War in the East, War in the Pacific, and Command: Modern Naval/Air)<br/>

RE: Concerning the AI

<t> seems to me the easy solution is to have multiplayer. the game seems cool enough and easy enough to pick up that multiplayer would be a no brainer.<br/>
<br/>
it's definitely better than Steel Panthers, Close Combat, and FC:RS in my humble opinion. It's like a mix of those but superior.<br ...

RE: Runs fine in wine on Linux

I bought TOAW IV in the same manner not knowing if it would run well in Wine on Mac. I do regret that.

This report is helpful, I may get this if it turns out to be fun for people.

I can't figure out what this is

in my game there is a red circle sign (like the Non-Smoking sign) red circle with a diagnal dash

it's on the edge of a hex and I can't seem to move through it, costs 100 AP just to move through. can't attack through it either.

what is causing this?

I am really bad at this. Need advice.

<t> I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on the game.<br/>
<br/>
I'm kind of horrible at it and I find myself losing so badly that I can't comprehend how it's even possible anyone could win in the first place. To the extent where I feel like the game really doesn't explain which ...

RE: playing on Mac with Wineskin?

<t> honestly I'm really happy to report that after fiddling and being a little more patient, I have the game running somewhat satisfactorily.<br/>
<br/>
the loading is a bit irritating but I think I was overstating how bad it is. it's more like 10-15 seconds here and there and it doesn't happen ...

RE: playing on Mac with Wineskin?

<t> Yeah Wine isn't really a sure shot. Some stuff doesn't work well with it.<br/>
<br/>
That said I figure there has to be a solution because the game does open up, it runs. I can get into a game and move pieces. And I can run much heftier games on my computer, even in Wine.<br/>

So it ...

RE: playing on Mac with Wineskin?

bummer. I figured there would be something I could change. it makes no sense why there would be that much of a CPU issue when moving a unit or clicking a menu button... but idk. I guess I'll try installing it again when i get another computer at some point down the road

playing on Mac with Wineskin?

<t> I am trying to get the game running in Wineskin.<br/>
<br/>
I can install it, open the game, and get it running. But the problem is mouse clicks and different actions take FOREVER!<br/>

I mean it clearly basically works but there just seems to be an issue with really long delays after ...

<t> Matrix prices are justifiably high. I think these games are worth the money but I just don't know if I can really justify it in my current place. I am ready and willing to spend 40-50 bucks if I can think of a good reason to invest in this. I really want to learn strategy and tactics, and ...

RE: should I BUY Flashpoint Campaigns or TOAW IV? (and why?)

<t> it's a hard choice, believe me. Flashpoint is so god damn fun to play and I'll be sad not to experience more scenarios in it but 50 is just too steep.<br/>

OAW seems to cover more situations and a more broad strategic approach which is good. was hoping for someone to attempt to hard sell ...
