DAG games allowing advantage to be given to one side.

I upgraded to 1.2.8 with no problems. I already had Rise of Rome installaed when I did this. On Saturday, I added Storm of Arrows. The first thing I noticed is that the shortcut to play FOG now says Storm of Arrows. When I click on the Play button, it takes me to the regular FOG screen, which says version 1.2.8 in the corner. When I hit the update button it says I have the latest version.

I have been playing DAG games against the AI to get used to new armies. I believe (unless I am dreaming) that before I added Storm of Arrows, I could play DAG games against the AI and on the initial screen, I had the option of granting advantage to the AI army. This has now disappeared both for Storm and Rise of Rome. I can shoose my own DAG army and choose an AI army and also choose terrain preference. The next thing I am allowed to do to proceed to the initiative determination.

Another strange thing is that now the shortcut says Storm of Arrows and when I hit the update button on this shortcut, I receice an error message. I am running Windows 7. Once again, if I hit play it takes me to the regular FOG screen and allows me to play any historical games, as well as set up terrain. When I choose a historical game, a screen does show up to give the AI army a terrain advantage. This seems odd in itself, as the terrain should already be set up in an historical game.

Any comments would be appreciated!

No you've never been able to give an AI advantage in DAG games.

It sounds like you have the Matrix version? I'll have to check about the update button on the Matrix version of the launcher.

Unfortunately, with the 1.2.8 update, the Update Link on the Matrix Menu for Rise of Rome and Storm of Arrows no longer works. The game now uses a different system to check for updates. You can use the Windows Start Menu short cut, 'Update Field of Glory', or the Field of Glory game menu button, 'Check for Updates'.
