i prefer to buy from site myself, and then get a steam key also for that reason.


I usually do the same, but as I had the chance to get me all the DLC for "Order of Battle" for one third of the price in the Slitherine Store, I had to jump over my shadow and bought them on Steam.
All other games ...

Snapshots (snapshotx.png) were taken, but all showed only a black screen.

Looking forward to the "special version" so we can play "Drums of War"

Hi !

Did as you told me (renamed music folder and replaced settings.txt)

But still game freezes if the "S" key is pressed or when "Options" or "Help" is clicked.

The only difference is that the game starts now in windowed mode.

Sorry for the bad news


Martin

Will try the behaviour of the "S" key this evening and will report back to you.

==>> After starting the game I'm in the topmost menu and pressing "S" will also freeze the screen - same as clicking on "Options" or "Help"

Martin

Same here - "Options" or choosing a campaign freezes the screen.
Gave the DrumsOfWar.exe admin rights through the compatibility mode, but still no gameplay possible :(
OS is Windows 7.

BTW: game_errors.log tells me:

ERROR in
action number 2
of Alarm Event for alarm 0
for object o_cntrl ...

If a unit has a special ability, then there should be a short notice at the end of the unit info (like "Bridged Movement", "Airdrops", etc.) and maybe a longer description via mouse over or right mouse click.

Martin

Yes, they are explained in the tutorial, but if you look at the units in-game, there isn't any mentioning of their special abilities (only the attack, defense, movement, etc. values) !

They should be listed in the unit information somewhere.

Or are they already there and I'm only to dumb and blind ...

Maybe a noob question, but where can I find the special abilities of the different units (like Brückenpioniere) ?
Haven't found any description when I select the units (in the units upgrade or units buying screen).


Any hint would be appreciated;

Martin

Is there anything in the game design/concept which rules out the implementation of an always visible turn indicator ?

Even in scenarios without any turn limitations at all I would be happy to keep easily track of the already played rounds.

Please keep this in mind for a next patch because I really ...

No counter here, too !

Would be nice, if there would be a counter in every scenario (custom, campaign, multiplayer), because it is a turn based game and I want to keep track of in which round I am.
And when I replay the scenario I maybe want to try to beat my previous attempts and win faster.

Like ...

Interesting and good game concept/idea !!!

So you can concentrate on winning the scenario and you don't have to worry about loosing your upgraded elite unit on the last turn.

Are the battlefield promotions and their effects covered in the manual ???

And will promoted units be available from one scenario to the next ?

I'm in the first campaign but found no clue what the promotions will do and if the experienced units are available at the beginning of the next scenario ...

Hello again !

The renaming of the movie folders worked (and I'm a guy who skipped the ingame movies most of the time).
Now I can get into the battle and hope that this was the only problem (or that you guys will have another ultrafast workaround for me :D )


Thank you very much,

Martin Nedermeier ...

Hi there !

Bought "HISTORY™ Great Battles Medieval" today, installed it and patched it to version 1.01

the game starts, but when I click on the green ok-button after selecting the starting province/battle in the tutorial, I get the following message:
***Unhandled Exeption! ExpCode: 0x0000005 ...
