Cool to see there is still life in the old game

For all newer games there is only a single forum on one site or the other, the links on the other site simply shortcut to the actual forum. Some older games did have dual forums, which was definitely an issue. But now there is just a single forum per game. I'm still not sure I understand. Personall...

Unfortunately it would still need us to do an update to the game, which we are not allowed to do without the impractical step of changing the internals to work on pure 64 bit. Sorry

The game requires DirectX 9c to be installed. It may be that you need to uninstall your current DX9 install to get it to work as it may think that you already have it installed when 9c adds quite a lot to prior versions.

Thanks a lot for taking the time (on a Sunday) to put this out! :D I just thought communicating more (i.e. providing more information about the game to the community on a more frequent basis) could help reduce/limit the continuous questioning of what is actually going on… I look forward to the twit...

I don't think that is a valid email. Try co.uk and you should get better results.

Did you send to support@slitherine.co.uk? They will generally respond within 24 hours. Is it possible that your email provider could be filtering responses before it gets to your spam folder?

Do you mean back to the launcher (e.g. out of the fullscreen game and back to the smaller windowed launcher)? That sounds like something it shutting down the game - do you have any antivirus or firewall software running which may be misinterpreting the login information as hostile?

IIRC the saves are binary blobs, so editing them is unfortunately not practical.

You can already download the permitted content directly ingame. I am not sure asking people to pay for it as well would be eagerly received

Campaigns should show up on the list if they are in the appropriate folder (CAMPAIGNS in Documents/My Games/BBCBA). Check that they have appropriate names in the TEXT1.TXT file in the campaign. I don't think we have seen issues with campaigns not showing up before, though not you may need to scroll ...

It's not actually a turn-based game. It is WEGO which means hotseat (while possible) is much less straightforward than for IGOUO.

Unfortunately we have no plans to update BA on iOS, mainly because we would also have to update all other live versions to maintain the multiplayer community, which amounts to more than a dozen SKUs to rebuild, test, and release. While the constant hassles with Apple have somewhat soured us on iOS v...

Save names are not restricted to ascii characters and so the filenames are not what you type. There is a human-readable version of the user filename at the top of each file (they can be opened in Notepad etc).

When in multiplayer go to My Games->Create->Create Skirmish. You can then change the Player Side and Enemy Side with the arrows for the 4 sides that are available if you have all the DLC packs.

Unfortunately the game design means that Sanctus isn't as mod-friendly as other games on the engine. So while there are a few great mods out there, the number is not huge.

IIRC the DLC sides are only available in MP in Skirmish. You cannot play prebuilt MP maps with the new sides.

Something like that is one of the solutions we have been thinking about, but we want to make it a little more robust if we actually do it - otherwise it rapidly becomes of limited use given the relatively high frequency of updates.

Empires supports all screen resolutions, including 3440x1400.
