Matrix Games Forums

Well,

I swear to God.... I really wished to play the game.

So I bought it during sale on Matrix Website.

Learning the game will be difficult.


But, For God Sake - scroll lag is killing my Wish to Even Play this game.

Please if there is a simple solution.

Win 11, i5, 16 GB....

I really want to sink some carriers

Looks like you have not set switches in your game shortcut.
Did you read that section on slow performance in the tech section? It's an old game engine and it needs the switches to be able to talk to modern computers and Windows versions.

If you did set switches, show us your entire line in the shortcut properties.

I will... Just cannot play game right now.... But, as soon as I can I will....

I will have further questions once I setup the game.

It all looks like "Chinese Villages with Spanish People", no clue at all. And I like very complicated games like TOAW and WiTE 2 .

I like this period of history so I will put an effort to learn the game. Maybe on weekend I will have more time to get into this game, this game needs dedication.

Too much work these days

This game is far more involved than any other war game I have seen because it includes logistics. You can't get much done if you don't have supply and fuel to get your military moving. But although the scale is daunting you will be drawn in by the constant small rewards like getting a ship of supply into a base that is nearly out, or cutting off the supply to an enemy unit.
When you do get the game running well, start with the small scenarios so you can learn what all those buttons and hypertext options do. Also read some AARs to get an idea how to think ahead six months, six weeks, six days. That will guide your plans for each ship and unit.

Game of logistics.

Everything is fine now. I followed instructions and there is no lag anymore

Very nice music.

I will try to learn this game slowly. Excellent game.

I go through this every new computer. And just because the planets aligned the wrong way. And sometimes just because the name of the day ends in y. And all I have to do is to check the command line.

And I eventually do this but usually I first have to make strangled noises, avoid throwing something, take blood pressure meds and apologize for waking my wife up. The neighbors have not complained yet, so maybe they don't hear it.

It takes a while to get the game mechanics down. The map size is also daunting. But it will become second nature with time. Different people will have different ways to learn. Mine was simply playing the game for a month {game time} and restarting.

Welcome to the longest lasting game I've ever had. My wife would say welcome to the madness.

I was going it hard way....

Lets go straight to Grand Campaign...it'll be fun.

Had to restart few times....
