I am considering purchasing this game and was wondering if anyone can tell me how it compares to the old Space Empires series.

Thanks

I am looking to upgrade to a new pc with Windows 10. I saw the windows 10 compatibility chart and was happy to see that most of my games will work, but was also wondering if any Matrix games require STEAM as I am trying to avoid using it. Thanks for any info.

Gil,

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
I was referring to the following file:

"ai_data" located in the Data file.

Thanks,
wayne

Can anyone give me info on the values in this file and how modifying it might affect ai building decisions. Thanks.

<t> Gil,<br/> Thanks for continuing to respond to the board.<br/> I am trying to get the ai to stop overbuilding things like mansions and be mor likely to build more UNITS.<br/> I have niticed on the ai file that at times the ai will build multiple mansions on one or several turns.<br/> I am trying ...

please check my post in the Support area, i probably should have posted here first.

thanks

<t> i have noticed in the ai file that my USA ai opponent seems to produce repeated unneeded mansions in 1 province-Annapolis. i have seen several earlier posts re this issue with no apparent solution. i was wondering if i can use the bldgs file to reduce this by changing the usa_ai file, if i reduc...

I guess I could edit the amount of iron needed to build a gunboat to 600.
Am I correct to assume that with a max storage of 500 Iron, this would stop both players to build gunboats?

Is there a way to mod the priority that the AI pits on building certain units?
I specifically would like to reduce the liklihood of the AI overproducing gunboats and siege weapons.
Also, any way to make the AI more likely to use amphibious actions?

Thanks.

Which # is the one I should be changing the x100 or the 15?
Thanks again for the info

Thanks for the reply.
What in your opinion would be suitable numbers to use to slightly decrease the reluctance interval figure and to strongly discourage ai to leave it's theater?

<t> I have several questions re ai modding through the constants area<br/> <br/> 1. out of theater multiplier- does raising this ie x100 15 to x100 50 raise or lower the likelihood that the ai will leave it's current theater?<br/> <br/> 2. reluctanceScalex100 500-does lowering this to say x100 100 i...

sorry if this was previously covered.
1. How exactly do i load troops onto ships?
2. Can troops br placed on gunboats for river transport?
thanks

<t> Thanks for all the info.<br/> I was also wondering about comparasions of leader importance between the games.<br/> Also, can the games continue after 65 or is there a finite end of campaign?<br/> Lastly, is there are modding or editing possible or avaiable for them?<br/> <br/> thanks again.</t>

<t> I was looking for info on the 3 civil war games listed- Ageod ACW, FoF, War between the States.<br/> I enjoy grand campaign strategic games such as the old Sumter To Appomatox game.<br/> Tactical battles are not as important to me. Ease of use is also a consideration.<br/> Any comparasions, sugg...

How realistic would it be to continue to play without being able to get more reinforcements?

Thank You

I downloaded the patch and now i can not start the game- components missing error keeps flashing

diesel,

If you still play ACW, what version do you have and where might i find any late patches for the game?
I still love the game and hope Frank is able to get us a new one.

<t> Frank,<br/> <br/> Thanks for the response.<br/> I can not find any Acw patch info at matrix.<br/> Any info on where else to look would be greatly appreciated.<br/> The latest i have is version 2.62 from 11-02 but it seems to have a very bad attrition leak for AI.<br/> Was this ever addressed?<br...
