| Little guys working Peter Knutsen 19:41:07 |
| | There's something fascinating about seeing all those little guys and
girls working in real time, in Age of Empires II. Not so much the
fighting, but the building of a settlement.
At the same time, I want to be able to control the guys and girls
directly. I've tried Settlers 1, and also either 3 or 4 (possibly both)
and that's not for me.
Are there any games similar to Age of Empires II, but preferably with
little or no combat? Some kind of economic struggle instead would be
more fun.

| Dominions 3 - resolutions Vincenzo Beretta 23:27:43 |
| | I'm enjoying my new 24" monitor BenQ FP241WZ, and a lot of wargames and
strategy games really benefit from the extra estate. However, launching
Dominions 3 I see support for my native resolution (1920x1200) in the
options panel, but it is greyed out, as are higher resolutions (the maximum
allowed is 1680x1050, which means interpolation and stretching on an LCD
monitor).
Any ways to enable higher resolutions? I have a GeForce 7800GTX with the
latest drivers (installed a couple of days ago) and 2GB RAM.

I know this game has not been released yet, but has anyone been following
its development? I just became aware of it recently and it has caught my
interest. I've been looking for a good World War II strategic/operational
naval game for Mac ever since Victory at Sea sank without a trace a decade
ago.

| | Well I must say, this is the first time I buy a game which I can't
play directly without being prompted for some bloody patch that
doesn't download.
The first CoH was wonderful, finally a game where the publisher
trusted the buyer but this new scheme is just ridiculous. I think this
was the last time I buy from THQ - what a company of morons.

| Evil Genius: Unlock all rooms cheatcodes? Peter Knutsen 20:58:19 |
| | Is there a cheatcode for unlocking all rooms, in Evil Genius?
I've looked at the GameFAQs site, and haven't found anything.
I'm interested only in rooms, nothing else. I want to "experience the
game", i.e. get every minion type, object type and so on the "straight
way", but with the ability to lay out my base in advance, in-game

strange and can therefore only conclude that he will soon be pushing up the

| | After installing the online patch and creating a user account
the game can be played without the DVD. The graphics have been
improved, the load time has been improved, the game play has
been improved plus installation involves one DVD and not 6
CD's. If something is made fool proof only fools will use it.

| Game developers wanted: Automobile industry strategic game Roland M sl 19:47:03 |
| | The car becomes just right now new invented.
Plug-in hybird cars as the fair sensation
on the 62nd IAA 2007 in Frankfurt
http://car.pege.org/2007-iaa/
After long years of total boredom in the
automobile industry sudden revolutions.
It would be interesting to develop a strategy
game about this situation.
Many new Lithium based battery technologies.
How to mix from all this new offers cars
for the real market?
In what technologies to invest?
The project should be to pack all today known facts
into a strategic game to conquer the world car market
of the future.
Players can play old established brands or new comers
on the market.

What do you think about this game concept???
Interesting. The 3 races are rock-paper-scissors balanced like ala
StarCraft?
If you get an alpha version working, and want to market it, get with me and
I can hook you up with someone to look at it.

| game recommendation J 06:01:00 |
| | I'd like to get some game reviews/recommendations. I've been through a
long period (years, since Imperialism 2, basically) playing no strategy
games. I decided to end this, and I'd heard enough good things about
the following games that I bought "Strategy Pack 6" for $40, which
includes the games
Crusader Kings
Victoria
Victoria Revolutions
Europa Universalis II
Hearts of Iron II
Hearts of Iron Doomsday
Now I'm wondering where to start. This is of course a completely
subjective decision, so maybe instead of telling me which game I should
play first, can anyone tell me what you like or don't like about any of
them? If you've played several of them, how do they compare?
I've looked through old posts in this group and found links for
VickyWiki and EU2Wiki; any similar information would also be helpful.
Thanks a lot.

| New Company if Heroes add on won't install Bunboy 03:03:23 |
| | Tried everything I could think of which is a bunch and keep getting a
message that the installer won't work. that there already is a copy of the
game and it will uninstall it. It doesn't uninstall the original which of
course you don't want it too. Get that little protected by dome shield or
some such copy protect message and that's it.
I had big problems with new medal of honor and their web site was loaded
with others having the same problem and very similar to this. What the
heck's going on here,these are high end classy games and I feel like the old
days of DOS checking my sound card and such a million times to get a game
just to install?

| Dead group - New RTS - WIC Joey's Dad 22:38:51 |
| | Just picked up WIC. While there's nothing that hasn't been done before in
the tatctical RTS world, it does bring all the pieces together nicely.
Graphics are great.
Multiplayer is the best I've ever seen for any RTS.

I m currently playing through Stronghold deluxe s missions and am stuck in the mission with the fens (go through a castle of the pig, enter the fens, all before the main army of the pig arrives). I already searched for walkthroughs but both of those I found depend on a strategy to very accurately position your troops of archers to pick off the enemys crossbowmen on the towers while still being out of their range - and I utterly fail in that... Any other idea?
Noone? Anyone playing the game?
The mission I m stuck is mission 15.
