Field of Glory 2.0 - coming October 18th!

[nikgaukroger]

Well the iPad version seems pretty good so far

Columns - no longer get movement bonus unless on roads and cannot charge if they are kinked (9-10 on the iPad).

Hi all

Well I've given up on waiting for the printable version and downloaded the rules to my work laptop.

I've no experience of ereaders but after a bit of trial and error am finding my way round fine. The view fills the centre two thirds of my screen and is easily readable.

Just one point..............I though columns were going to be penalised in V2, anyone spotted anything?

Rob

What screen resolution are you running at? Can you use the resize button?

I noticed that the point cost for mounted Bow* was not reduced as it was in the beta version. Another major lack is that there are no change bars or other change indicators in the digital version so good luck finding what has actually changed

Hardly a surprise as it was well known that there would be no points changes well before the beta finished.

Cheers Nik

I foresee loads of arguing about whether columns are kinked or not going forward.

My laptop is currently set at 1280 by 1024.

Will try and locate the resize button.

Something to look out for and make sure it is defined at the time if it is likely to be contentious.

Rob

If you move the cursor to the top of the page, the butttons should appear. One is for re-size and the other takes you to the TOC carousel display. The latter works for me but not re-size.

Had found it but it did nothing for me.

I was not privy to the Beta 2.0; but was under the general impression that you would be awarded one brek point for killing the enemy Inspired Commander.
Can't seem to find it.

There was a 1 Attrition point loss for losing your C-in-C (whether Inspired or not) during the Beta but that doesn't appear to have been included.

PC version??

Bought the ereader/v2.0 and the Rise of Rome. ereader installed but when I tried to register I got a "serial number doesn't exist" message. In the ereader I downloaded both the rules and Rise of Rome issue. Rise of Rome loads in the ereader okay, but the rules stalls with the indicator bar at 20%.

I've been in touch with support who recommended uninstalling the ereader, uninstalling internet security software, re-booting, reinstalling the ereader and then reinstalling internet security. Did that....*grrrrrr* and still the same issues.....can't register and the rules stall when loading in the ereader. That's $25 for a duplicate of what I have - the Rise of Rome army list and no v2.0 rules.

Re-contacted support with screen shots of various stages....awaiting a response.

Hi Shadowdragon,
yes a PC version, same problem on mine as yours, staying at 20% loading, I have AVG as internet security and it seems not coming from there;
same cost for nothing for the moment
I hope the support will solve the problem before the release of the POD version
too bad .....

I thought this was left out at the Beta stage. It caused a lot of problems during games I had.

It is, however, a quick and easy way to prevent sponno troops charging.

Except it isn't - check out 9-10 and you will see that they can still charge without orders.

Bought the ereader/v2.0 and the Rise of Rome. ereader installed but when I tried to register I got a "serial number doesn't exist" message.

I got the same error message when I tried to register my MAC version - is registration mandatory? Will my install die after X days if I have not registered it?

I solved the registration problem. When you click on the register button and registration page opens up....the title in the game field is wrong. It reads "Field of Glory - Digital Version". That's the digital game. It should read, "Field of Glory Ancients & Medieval 2.0 Reader". However, you can't change the field on the page that opens up. You have to reload the registration page without game identifier info. Click on this link which allows you to select any game to register:
