Collecting resources

First game but played the old MoM extensive but not for a very long time.

I've got resources outside of my cities catchment area. How do I access them?

Can the catchment area be increased and or can I mine farm them etc.

No very start of game. Can't you speciically order it to?

Ship roles

A full explanation on how they work would be appreciated. I worked out it's something to do with fleets but how, what, why, when, anything would be appreciated. Another example of no writen infomation.

Fight formations

Nothing in the manual (yet again another poor manual).

What are the pros and con of the various fight formations?

Controlling what the population does in a city

All I want to do is tell a farmer to farm a hex with +2 not +1. How the heck do you do that???? Very, very frustrating.

NO MANUAL and can't find it in the compendium!!!

Poor game manuals

This a general beef on the quality of game manuals. The example here is from Polaris Sector but it is by no means restricted to that. Revisiting Polaris Sector after more than two years meant going through the tutorial again and it was only then that I realised just how bad the manual is that comes ...

One wish

Stop using the automatic train/truck movement for some units. Number of times I've not paid attention to rail/road and found myself moving where a train/truck should not be. OK my fault but I bet I'm not the only one.

Re: Interenet connection

I'm going to eat humble pie here, not the internet but graphics. Used task manager to see what was going on and after monitoring performance the GPU goes off the scale when streaming and playing the game, even on the opening screen. Never had a game so hungary for video before. I have a 4GB, not ove...

Interenet connection

While watching the Giro d'Ialia on my computer I flashed up OOB WWII and suddenly the stream became jerky. Minimising the game or closing it completely got rid of the problem. Now I know the game wants access to the internet but to want to connect when it's not needed i.e. playing against the AI sho...

Re: Specialization Points

As far as I know you can't unlock everything, and difficulty gives you zero bonuses. All the special bonuses happened in real life following roughly the timeline in the game so you should be able to unlock them all during any campaign. Thinking about it, why are they there at all in a game based on...

Specialization Points

Just finished playing US Marine campaign. At the end I still had not uncovered 6 of the still remaining specializations despite winning all the scenarios

Does playing at a higher difficulty give you more points?

Help what am I missing

US marines opening scenario.

One secondary victory is to destroy the seaplane base on Tulagi. How's it done. Once the unit on it is destoyed by any means you can only capture it, you can bomb it, blow it up or do anything to it. I must be missing something obvious.

Left click intermittent

Wierd. Playing Morning Sun lastest patch. I'm using one mouse controls and have not changed any controls since installing. This is intermittent but more likely to happen as the scenario goes on without loading. The left click stops working. I can get it to go if I select a unit then right click some...

Undeploy units

Can you undeploy a unit once the scenario has started? For instance swap a fighter unit for bamber once you realised the fighter is needed more than a bomber.
