Re: Old topic, still confused (missing campaigns for Gold)

The DLC Steam keys have disappeared from 'My Page' of the shop. They were there when I bought the Gold package, and I only activated the first DLC, thinking I would activate the others as I would get to play them, but later they were gone from the page.

When was your last visit to the forums?

You can see it at the Board Index, top right, above the forum list.

Re: Order of Battle - v9.1.4 update

I 'bought' the base game for free in the Slitherine shop', together with one DLC (Red Star), but I never got a serial number for the base, and while the base game is listed on 'My Page', when I go to the downloads, it says that I don't have a valid serial for the downloads. It probably put the base ...

Re: Food amount needed for population increase

The population limiter goal is not to force a kind of manifest destiny, as done by Paradox (from what you say), it's to be sensible about how the population can develop depending on the fertility of a region. As such for Kingdoms it is still there but is being revised, and hopefully, it will please...

Re: Panzer Corps Gold - Where are the Grand Campaign 42-45

I bought Panzer Corps Gold here at Slitherine when it was offered as the final Panzer Corps 1 wrap-up. I think it came with a separate Steam key for every DLC, but I only registered the base one and the '39 campaign, thinking I would register the other DLC as I would play them. That 'My Page' is not...

Re: Cannot build Salt Marsh in marsh

I don't know about the rules in the game about this, but in order to win salt from a marsh, in the real world that has to be a salt water marsh, which means it has to be at the sea coast in a moderate climate. Only in a dry hot climate will a fresh water area evaporate enough over time to become sal...

Re: Why this game?

So I couldn't help myself and took the Steam sale for the complete OOB collection. Now this game, and its whole family of General derivatives (and most RPG's) have this dilemma: I like to play blind, because, obviously, why else would you need Fog Of War? But you will make unfortunate decisions that...

Re: Why this game?

I played the first tutorial battle some time ago, on easy mode. Started over yesterday, but at normal difficulty, and I played the same way, expecting to easily run over the opposition. That was a nasty surprise. Yes, I won, but not without receiving a mercy new tank unit, because my old tank unit d...

Re: FIELD OF GLORY KINGDOMS

How can this game give the Church its historical power role? Excommunication could bring down the greatest warlord. In Western Europe this period is dominated by the power struggle between Pope and Roman Emperor. Local conflicts would escalate into Crusades. I am curious how Pocus will incorporate t...

Re: does speed impact accuracy?

A related question: when firing guided missiles, is offensive or defensive stance taken into account for accuracy during the moment of fire, or the moment of hitting, or both? Often, you fire in one turn, and hit (or miss) in the next turn, so if you change your stance between those turns, which sta...

My PC has the Windows Vista O/S. Perhaps you need to try to "recreate" this problem using a Vista ( or older ) O/S ??? One cannot expect companies to support Windows Vista (or even older) when not even Microsoft itself does it. PC's with Vista ought to be upgraded or retired or the user m...

Re: Quick Play Strategy Guide

I would need to see that particular situation, but it seems like someone else (another player) owns that one tile, no? You need to conquer that tile to be part of the city range. No, everything was in my own possession. Maybe it was a turn one anomality. But here I have a similar anomality: a templ...

Re: Quick Play Strategy Guide

Thank you. Another question: I saw city areas that were asymmetric like this (size 5 city)

00100
01110
11111
01110
00000

There was no other city to the South, so why was that central Southern region outside the city range?

Re: Quick Play Strategy Guide

I stick my quick beginners question in this thread:

In a new world game my cities revolted when I built new units or improvements. Their happiness was fine in each of those occasions.
Is there a way to see whether a build order will stress them too much beforehand?
