RE: How can I find a summary of trade routes?

If the developers are reading this, a trade screen would be a GREAT addition.
Many 4X games have this as an option.

How can I find a summary of trade routes?

Is there any way I can find a summary of my active trade routes?
which systems are involved?
how much money is generated?
what is being traded?

disappearing fleets?

Im trying to learn this game but having a bit of trouble.
Most everything is automated.

I created a fleet of 13 ships, and sent it to a system.

But now it has disappeared. Nothing in the log about an attack, etc.

Any ideas what going on?

Gettysburg games

<t> I'm looking for a Gettysburg game that most closely matches the old SSI "Gettysburg, the turning point".<br/>

2) HPS Tiller series<br/>
3) Sid Meiers Gettysburg<br/>
4) Mods for Take Command<br/>

RE: Recommend reading?

<t> For a short (900 p) one volume history, you simply cannot beat "Battle cry of Freedom" by James McPherson (no relation to civil war general of the same name).<br/>

And if you're mostly interested in the conflict itself, you can probably skip the first 250 pages, which is basically ...

So the hexagons are not supposed to be perfect hexagons--the horizontal sides are supposed to be longer than the other 4 sides?

RE: Window mode

I have a new 22 in widescreen (16:10) monitor.
AT is "stretched" in this resolution.
Is there any way to set the resolution to a 4:3 aspect (say, 1600:1200), with black bars on the side, so it does not appear "stretched"?

RE: Window mode

How does one set screen resolution?
It isn't documented in the manual, nor in any of the readmes, nor can I find an icon within the game.

Attack, or combat "help"

This seems to be a pretty important modifier for combat results.

But its not explained in the manual.

Anyone have an explanation?

Every time I alt-tab out to look at the manual, the game crashes when i try to resume. I just get a black box in the left upper 2/3 of the monitor.<br/>
