Worth buying?

[demyansk]

I would buy this game, Toaw is a good one especially with all the players.

Buy it. We all remember all this long nice stories about compability issues of TOAW between version. So it is nice idea. And definitely buy this http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Gaming-P ... B005EWB3AU or any other 10-20+ buttons mouse. It will HUGELY improve game experience in TOAW and any game with such overloaded UI and massive amount of unnecessary clicks.

I'm intending to buy both - TOAW III in the near future and IV later this year.

Is Bob's site (Bob Cross's TOAW Site) still the best / most up to date for quality scenarios ?

There's a ton of links for info on TOAW in these forums (some old and seemingly out of date) - would someone be kind enough to narrow it down to 2 or 3 of the most recently active?

DonCzirr: Check the sPzAbt653's page, perhaps the currently most active designer, who also makes most of this scenarios good for solo playing http://www.dizium.net/TOAW

Also, http://forums.gamesquad.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=16 for scenarios, graphic mods and other files, but not very active as of late (you have to register to download the files)

Wow - nice variety in that list.

Can't wait to dive in. I have not touched any TOAW since the original release.

Thanks Meyer !

I had not played TOAW III for years.I had a downloaded installation on a CD, which is fortunate since I could not find my game on the matrix site - I initially thought it would be easier to re-download it, but when I couldn't find my download, I decided to reinstall from the CD, half-expecting it not to work....

I reinstalled it and the latest patch (only), and it works fine and it seems greatly improved. Just the graphics improvements alone make it worth trying out.There are some Youtube videos with the latest graphics, if you want to get an idea. I think TOAW III is a bit expensive considering that it is an old game. Okay, I have paid more than that for some games that I did not play for more than an hour or two, so I guess it depends on how rich you are. If you are not tight for money, it is probably worth it.

I have to agree here.

I bought it earlier this week and ran it once with the original files and then again with the latest patch.

The patched version looks fantastic - I think it's at least comparable to any "modern / recent" war game. (except for the interface which is a bit too tiny for my mature eyes)


I am eager to kick off my campaign as Leader of the Balkan League.


Thanks to those responsible for the improvements that were made !

the interface which is a bit too tiny for my mature eyes

That could be due to the larger resolutions of our newer machines. If you hadn't seen it there are some discussions and a few possible solutions in this thread:

Appreciate that info - but everything else looks so good, I don't want to mess with it.

But you know what ? Taking just a few minutes for investigation, I found that there are Menu items or hotkeys for everything it seems.


So - the conquest of the Balkans will not be put at risk due to my old bleary sight after all ...
