I wish we had had time to do a tutorial for camp mode, but we were still flushing out everything close to the end. It is all documented in the manual. Not that hard once you understand, but should have put in a few popup help screens for new camps.

That doesn't bode well.

Anytime you add something completely new, it's never quite done. Everyone wanted to put their thoughts into the camp game, but I had to keep it on message. It easily could have gone over the top and never made the release. I think there's a lot to come in the camp game. It should be moddable, but not as much as I really want it. At this point we've played all we can, tested, changed, so we just wait for feedback. Can't wait to hear what everyone thinks. Even if it's 'this sucks'.

Oh, I wasn't actually being serious. I was just making a joke on what I assume was a typo where you said flushing instead of fleshing.

Unless you indeed were flushing out the game, in which case I obviously know less about development than I thought.

I'm buying it on Monday when I get my pay in any event and I'm hugely looking forward to it. :D

Norb & Co. Not bought the game yet, but I've been a big fan of SoW since the early days and will buy this no doubt. I'm just in the middle of the Witcher 3 game and going on holiday soon. Well done on yet another game, hope it all goes well for you. Can't wait to purchase & play!

HQ Brussels,

MOVEMENT OF THE ARMY

I have reports of the French moving on Charleroi. If I can not stop them there then I will stop them here, at Waterloo. To your commands!

The desktop shortcut points to "wherever you game is"\ autorun.exe, I needed to change this to Win7: run as administrator to eliminate the black boxes.

The Win 7 compatibility fix should eliminate the blackboxes and you wont need to change the shortcut setting. Run as administrator and that should sort you out.

We've know about this for a while and had hoped that they could have put something in the installation script to set this up automatically, but I guess they couldn't find a fix. Bummed about that.
