Re: Master of Magic Complete

One question, and forgive my ignorance as I have never played this game before. Is it sufficient to install the newly-released Master of Magic, or must I also install any of the classic versions or DLC? If so, which ones? Thank you for your help, Ken B. The new game is stand-alone, you don't need t...

Re: Sorry I bought it

Thank you Actrade for your post. But I am not running the game through Steam, but a short cut from my laptop Desk Top. I am happy to wait for possible solution to my problem. Thanks again If it's the Slitherine version you can follow the last 5 steps in the sticky post to try the same fix: - Locate...

Re: Sorry I bought it

Personally I have no issues, but I do feel the chosen price point brings expectations of a more modernized game.

I don't understand why the steam version is working ok and slitherine's isn't? Just a guess, but I would...

Re: Any unofficial info how well this runs on steam deck?

Trying it out now myself. The first boot failed, but after booting once in desktop mode it works fine now (not sure if desktop mode was needed or just an inital boot). 1280x800 was selected by default. I've only played a few minutes of an actual game but so far it seems to run well. Using default Pr...

You need to generate a Steam key. You do this in MY PAGE right here.

Any unofficial info how well this runs on steam deck?

I'm sure a lot of us would love having MoM on the go, and the UI looks like it sould be fine on a small screen.

Re: No Guts, No Glory

Being a long time fan of the movie and indeed the animated show (so good!) Oh yes, Roughnecks is some of the best war storytelling in any format if you ask me. The early fully 3D animated style hasn't aged well, but soon enough you're too engrossed to care about that I've found as I've dusted off m...

All skirmishers target the same unit (latest beta)

I'm playing a new game as Arverni and both times I fought two unit opposition all my skirmishers targeted the same unit (5 or 6 skirmishers). This is within the first seven turns. I'm expanding west. This hasn't happened when fighting more than two units. Edit: happened again against a two unit oppo...

Re: Tracking metal usage

What is shown is an estimate of what will happen during the turn. So perhaps one region wasn't able to produce as expected for instance. A negative difference of about 8% of your entire military upkeep seems fairly significant though. Have you checked the message log for the turn?

Re: 2D option ?

I agree with Philoumg, I want to play the game like a 2D boardgame such as Risk, moving units from area to area, and wish there was an option to disable the 3D tactical battles. That would've been a completely different game though. This isn't a grand strategy game. Check out Sovereignty: Crown of ...

Re: 2D option ?

Hi, I'm not very happy with 3d map and unity... 2D option will be good for old school player :-) I had somewhat similar feelings when I first saw screenshot. But Unity seems to have gotten a bit better performance wise. And so far I haven't felt a need to rotate the camera or change the pitch, whic...

The msinfo file you provided has your computer model. You search for that on the manufacturer's website if they don't have an automatic service.

Windows has default drivers that these days are usually OK, but I noticed that your manufacturer provides chipset drivers for download so I would recommend you grab them and don't rely on Windows.

Now I'm curious, how do you stress test a computer and what numbers are you looking for?

You just run suitable stress test software for a while that gives your ...

Re: Athens Income Bug

Keep in mind that what happens during the turn can change the actual outcome, though seeing the same thing and such a big difference for several turns does seem weird. If you hover the mouse over your gold, does it seem like something might be missing such as the mercenary upkeep for instance?

Re: game freezes

For now I'll just say thanks for the help, and if the game should trouble me again I'll reinstall windows. Right now it seems not to be necessary as after the game was updated it hasn't crashed at all, and that is for over 40 turns with two different nations and 4 hours of play. Let's hope it stays...

Re: game freezes

Too bad it didn't help. I assume you've tried ctrl+alt+del when the game freezes? If that gives you no response it is highly likely to be a hardware/driver issue of some kind. Unfortunately those are hard to troubleshoot. One easy thing you can test is moving the game to your other hard drive. Other...

Re: CDR Question(s)

I believe it's a running average of your culture from the last 25 turns that's tallied against your decadence score. The culture value is the average of: (your current culture + the average from the last 25 turns). So this means that your current culture has a larger impact on CDR than 1/25, but it...
