Thanks for the reply. Having tried this again and looked closely at what is happening on the map during the set-up phase, I have figured out what the issue is. The units I purchase do in fact appear as additional units, but in the case of the two "spearmen" units they are called "feud...

My post actually concerns Field of Glory II:Medieval so I have reposted in that forum.

I am playing the battle of Tinchebrai for the first time, as the Normans. At the start, as usual, I am given the option to purchase additional units. I think I purchased four additonal mounted knight units and two spearmen units. I am very perplexed because these units do not appear among my startin...

I can get used to that. Thanks.

I don't know if anyone else cares about this, but it really bugs me and is my main complaint about the otherwise smooth interface. :x In order to see how far a unit can move, I often select a unit, just to see where it can go. Then I deselect it by left-clicking on it again, and do the same thing wi...

I have just completed this, getting a decisive victory on my second attempt. My first attempt (more of a trial run really) quickly ended in disaster when the RAF and Royal Navy intervened. I had already figured that I needed a lot of strategic bombers (I had 4 in total) to deal with the Royal Navy. ...

I would like to second the suggestion above that a scenario should not automatically end with the capture of the last victory hex. Like (I suspect) many other players, I like to keep going until either (a) I capture every town and airfield and destroy every enemy unit, or (b) the clock runs out. Gi...

Why does everyone keep treating this as an MV versus DV issue? The issue is that if you achieve EITHER type of victory in fewer turns, you get fewer points. So a DV in 12 turns earns you less prestige than a DV in 14 turns. An MV in 15 turns earns you fewer points than a MV in 20 turns. So you are i...

Leave aside the MV v DV question for the moment and just consider this. An MV that takes you 20 turns (or whatever the limit is for that scenario) earns you more prestige than one that takes you 18 turns. A DV that takes you 10 turns earns you less than a DV that takes you 12 turns. The result? You ...

Sometimes (pretty often, actually) you also get LESS for a DV than a MV. Makes sense, because players surely need it less when they can achieve a DV! How about also giving players prestige for each objective that they fail to capture? And deducting prestige for taking objectives? Makes sense, becau...

Thanks Ian. I have sent a message as requested.

Hi. I ordered (and paid for) "War in the East" yesterday, and got the "Pending Review" message from Plimus. It said I should wait up to 12 hours, but it is already 22 hours and counting. No reply from Plimus sales service, so I guess I now have to ask Slitherine to sort this out....

It's the official patch from Akella, available here on the Akella website: http://ru.akella.com/Files.aspx?mode=patches Slitherine guys, Akella has published a correct patch for the Russian version and has told its users that the patch on the Slitherine website is not the correct patch. You wonder w...

I have created a directory specially for games, so initially the game was installed in a file called "C:\Games\Commander" When the patch didn't install, I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it to the directory "C:\Program Files\Akella Games\Commander" (in other words, the defau...

Playing the Axis, I was amused to discover that my air units in Northern France could freely rebase to Northern Ireland (Britain is still at war with me, and I haven't gone anywhere near Northern Ireland with my land units). Later I encountered a similar problem with Crete and Cyprus. I could base a...

Ditto.

There was another guy complaining about this too. I don't think anyone can install the patch
