Scourge of War Boards

<t>I recently installed my old copy of SoW Gettysburg and updated it to 1.61 using the download on the Matrix forum so it would accept my license key.<br/> <br/> Everything seems to work except there are now scenarios. Only two of the Tutorials show up.<br/> <br/> Is there something else that needs ...

<t>I completely agree with your observations Saddletank. Also, as a game designer I know about all the compromises that a designer must make to make a game work. I wish I had kept all my SPI Moves and S&T magazines from years back because their game designers wrote many articles on the comprimis...

<t>We try to be positive. We are always looking for ways to expand the ACWGC into other games. Our mainstay has been Talonsoft and now HPS/Matrix games because they work so well for email play. We have aready added Strategic games like AGEOD's and Forge of Freedom. Even with flaws I suspect SoW will...

<r>I hope you don't mind my copying your reply over to the ACWGC forum.<br/> <br/> I did check with the tutorial regiment and they do march faster. 3.31 min for a line to change to column, cross the open field and change back. 4.10 min for a line to make the move without changing. This appears to be...

<t>I am hoping you are correct and the modules fix the worst of this but I am not far enough along to do that type test. I have to evaluate the game first in its base configuration and then see what the changes do. Right now my review says it occurs and is ahistoric but may not be a problem in actua...

<t>I am not comparing them. They are completely different concepts. That was to illustrate something only.<br/> <br/> During the Civil War soldiers did not remain in road column in the open under artillery fire. Artillery was relatively inaccurate and could do little harm to a two rank line at 500+ ...

<t>I assume in the game artillery does have range and would be firing at 500 yards. I haven't verified this is true in this game. If it does would the AI still march through artillery fire in column?<br/> <br/> Yes they became mobs but they never became mobs in road column. Total War expects you to ...

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>If you have your regiment in line before an enemy and you march them up in line they stay that way. If you run men up in column, when they get in firing range they immediately deploy. Sometimes the firing range was less than 160 yards. It all mattered what type of terrain you...

<t>Finally got it working. The following worked but I didn't verify every step I did was necessary.<br/> <br/> 1. Ran the Uninstall from control panel.<br/> It says it deactivated the registration and does delete most of the files.<br/> 2. I manually deleted all the files on the C drive.<br/> 3. I r...

<t>I did solve my installation problem. Just took a few tries and will post what I did to get it working.<br/> <br/> To be exact it was four men marching abreast resulting in a column of men taking up about 50 yards of road for a typical regiment. If a cannon happened to fire a ball down the length ...
