American Civil War III

I know this is probably never going to be a reality, but ... Wouldn't a new version of AGEOD's Civil War II be great? I mean there has been no real advancement in a turn-based grand strategy game in years. Yes, there have been new games, but nothing comes close to Civil War II in this genre. Just a ...

AGEOD's Civil War II

This is not a tech question, I just wanted to give these boys a shout-out. I used to play Birth of America, Civil War, and Civil War II all the time [among other fine titles], but haven't in many years. Got hung up with Order of Battle and Hearts of Iron 4. A month, or so ago, I dusted off that old ...

Why do I get this message when I try to access the Strategic War: World War II forum (as well as War in Europe, both of which I purchased upon release)? Seems to me I have received that message in other forums in the past, but I am not certain which they were. I am having trouble installing the last...

Re: Game not updating to 1.04 on Steam??

I run into this problem often when trying to update/patch one of my Slitherine games. I usually have to resort to "My Page" on this website and get it from there. Not convenient but not a big issue either.

Re: Order of Battle: World War II Patch Notes - March, 6th 2024

Thanks, Bru -- always appreciated. OOB has probably been my favorite game to play (well, along with AGEod's Civil War II). I've been playing a lot of Hearts of Iron 4 lately. Along with an overhaul MOD, it's an excellent game. Vanilla though is pretty poor. I look forward to your next project.

Re: Panzer Corps 2 Pacific DLC Shelved

As far as I am concerned, OoB has always been the better game, largely because of those first two DLCs: US Pacific and US Marines. Spent many happy hours playing those. Not a big fan of the "character" stuff either. At any rate, I am disappointed - was curious as to what they would have co...

Re: Update 10.0.0. question

Dittos. It should not be so difficult to update a game. After reading this thread, I am more confused than ever. I have all the dlcs and everything was working fine. I wish I never installed this update ... I don't even play multiplayer.

VPaulus - tried your possible fix, but it has no effect. Game still does not load.

Game will not launch after installing the new patch v/10

I have Order of Battle and all the dlcs installed on my PC. Just downloaded the latest patch [version 10] from My Page and the game will no longer launch. The launcher loads, but when I click on Play something flashes very quickly on my screen - it is an Order of Battle image, but it goes by too qui...

Re: Merry Christmas to all Empires and Kingdoms players

Merry Christmas, Pocus! Just so you know, I STILL play Civil War II & Birth of America II. Great games that stand the test of time. Thank you for years of enjoyment. Oh, and Pride of Nations, Wars of Napoleon, The Thirty Years War, To End All Wars, and AJE, on occasion. I look forward to Kingdoms.

Re: Think of HIM at Christmas

80 years ago, in Stalingrad 1942, German lieutenant, medic & pastor in the Sixth Army, Kurt Reuber, sketched this image on the back of a map with a piece of charred wood. The original is on display in Berlin. It was flown out of "Fortress Stalingrad" by the Luftwaffe. Fortress Madonna....

I have a similar issue with a different game. Try using your mouse without a mouse pad. Strange, but it works for me.

Re: Spare a thought for Pearl Harbor Day

Re: Cannot find Scenarios list

For some odd reason, you can't play a single scenario unless you have already reached it via a campaign. Once you play it one time, it will then be available. Personally, I'd rather them all be unlocked right from the point of purchase. There is a way to unlock them all that usually works. FROM THE ...
