Just kickin' the can, and none of you good folks know me, but I am one of the oldest members on the "sister" Matrixgames forums, and have always tried to contribute (when possible).

Old, ugly, and retired now, I am a former army Ranger, (U.S.), and come from an army family.

Just learned recently SLINGS did not always hurl rocks, but many of the pellets were the size of a finger joint and shaped like a large bean, and often bore a stamped inscription!

The slings had a range of up to a hundred yards, and the metal ones could pierce flesh, like a bullet!

Sorry, had not noticed!

After reading some books explaining the tactics and abilities of the day, I have learned Light Troops were used for recon and skirmisher-type roles very effectively, and had the ability to avoid a superior enemy force by being able to "pass thru" friendly line units, just as artillery units can do ...

I set my shadows to "Low" and the issues went away...Thank you..

Truly addicted to the game already, lol

I have tried the windows screen as suggested, no help..Will continue to tinker...

Thank you guys for the quick responses...Will try both.

Field of Glory II..Love the game.

I have a new 6 month old HP Pavilion CPU with all the bells and whistles, with a "ball-less" mouse.

Please consider some of the earlier armies for the editor, in time, like Egypt, Assyria, etc...
