Hi guys,

I bought this game several years ago. Great game that I really want to love but am having great difficulty with one aspect of gameplay.

How do you make money in this game? No matter what country I pick it seems that my income is in the red severely. After one or two turns I have no cash ...

I got my copy to work after uninstalling it and re-installing the game with the new version (April 2021). Wish someone would have responded to your thread earlier but here you go.

Has anyone created a modern day world scenario set during today's timeframe? (i.e. today or past 10 years?)

<br/>
Are you the same GaryChildress from CFC? If so you are awesome! To this day I still use many of the units you created for CivIII: Conquests in my homemade scenarios. <br/>
<br/>
I'm known as Moff Jerjerrod over at CFC. <br/>
<br/>
If you are not the same ...

I've been playing this game again the past couple of days. I forgot how fun this game really is. I also love the fact that you can hotseat play it.

IMHO this game is much better than AGEOD WoN.

AFAIK battlegroup will receive a penalty in combat. Or at least it happened around release (1.0) version - that's why I never ever tried to make them again <E>:)</E>

How much of a penalty is the question ...

<t> I don't want a pull system for my logistics otherwise I'll just play other boring games that have this system. The original out of the box logistics system in Shadow Empires is an enigma but once you get used to how it works it is so refreshing compared to other games. <br/>
<br/>
I really ...

<t> In my current game, which is my fifth attempt at Shadow Empires, I've run into problems where units on the front line far from the SHQ are not receiving supply despite around 18000 logistics points to play with. When I examined my bottlenecks I could clearly see that there just isn't enough ...

<t> So using his example from either of the screen shots, if we look at Logistics Usage I see that under SHQ > Units 2658 points were used to send supplies to units. However only 2371 units of logistics points were allocated. Because SHQ > Units used more than what was allocated it subtracted the ...

I installed your mod last night and I love this new interface! Can't wait for your update with the improvements you mention above.

Infantry units cannot be replaced as far as I know but you can upgrade them. Vehicles can be replaced with newer models as long as you have the new models built inside your SHQ.

<t> Be careful when setting units to 'Obsolete'. If you set a model to obsolete and there are still a lot of those models in the field the very next turn they will all show up at your SHQ. This will leave you with a lot of empty shells on the front lines. I only obsolete a model after I have ...

In my current game I met Mutants. Makes me think of an old Planet of the Apes movie for some reason.

<t> Which means he's got a hex selected out in the middle of nowhere. Try selecting the capital city, or the city where the SHQ is located, and perform the 'Replace Troops' command again.<br/>
<br/>
Edit: I just noticed in his screenshot that the hex he has selected is indeed not in the city where ...

The only thing I can think of as to why you can't build those units despite having all the required resources is because your mouse cursor has selected a hex that has zero logistic points in it. Do you have the city hex selected before you press the 'Raise Formation' button?

<t> I believe that a leaders loyalty is influenced by their relationship with you. If you hover over the relationship and the loyalty stat in the leader info display the tooltip will explain that.<br/>
<br/>
The last thing you want is a leader with good semi decent relationship but low loyalty. It ...

<t> Excellent work Justus2 and thank you for sharing your results. The two take-aways I gather from your experience is:<br/>
<br/>
1. The zone where the 2nd SHQ is located should be self sufficient in material needs and LIS points.<br/>
2. One SHQ is eventually going to be overburdened by ...

<t> There are many variables that I have seen that influence food consumption. I've seen my armies eat food like crazy during prolonged hard fighting. Another thing I noticed was that if you set your zone to hire colonists you will need to feed all those people who are waiting to colonize something ...

<t> I seem to remember about being warned (by the game itself) not to build more HQs in ATG. There would however come a time where a supreme HQ just couldn't handle moving supplies, unit components, population, etc. by itself no matter how many rail lines you had setup in your empire. <br/>
<br ...

<t> I know that sometimes the routine sounds can get annoying if they are too long in length but I kind of like the longer time sound effects. It's part of the immersion for me. <br/>
<br/>
There is something about the lingering sound effect of troops marching even after the unit visually has stop ...
