FREE CEAW Grand Strategy Expansion!

What version do you have? What language are you trying to play in?

I have the latest Slitherine version using the Installer.

Trying in English! I didn't think to try (until now) a different language to see if its all text or just some. I had just assumed some 'text' was actually a graphic, for example 'Grand Strategy ' on the load page.

I will check tonight.

cheers

Maybe you are missing some other system fonts that the game needs? Do you have Impact font installed?
Just an idea.

Related question: Is there any chance we can use the CEAW Map Editor for the Grand Strategy expansion at some point in the future? I suspect that will mean including some additional files in the expansion install, because the editor won't work properly right now with the Grand Strategy scenario's.

Is there any chance we can use the CEAW Map Editor for the Grand Strategy expansion at some point in the future? I love the new game logic, but I also like to edit scenario's for more challenging solo play and currently we can't do that with the Grand Strategy expansion.

The language files are in:

*\Commander - Europe At War\Grand Strategy Mod\data

Did you use the installer? What language did you select? Have you tried deleting the settings.txt file in *:\My Documents\CEAW Grand Strategy and restarting?

ok, thats interesting, I have all the files you might expect at C:\Program Files\Slitherine\Military History Commander - Europe at War GOLD\Grand Strategy Mod\data

at C:\Program Files\Slitherine\Commander - Europe At War\CEaW - Grand Strategy\data I only have the sceanrio file

but copying the others doesn't make a difference and no amount of deleting the setting.txt file makes a difference - and yes I used the installer

its a good one as they say!

Where is the vanilla game located? Is it, C:\Program Files\Slitherine\Commander - Europe At War\CEaW - Grand Strategy ?

If so, then you need to override the default location used by the GS installer (i.e., C:\Program Files\Slitherine\Military History Commander - Europe at War GOLD) and select C:\Program Files\Slitherine\Commander - Europe At War\CEaW - Grand Strategy for your installation. But first, uninstall GS before installing it again.

so we can kill this train of thought, I have gone back a installed from the start and it makes no difference where anything is

its all where it should be (for someone who started at the begining) and I still get no text - quite frustrating really!

any ideas anyone - its very hard to play when you don't know what the messages are! (and annoying enough when nothing has a name)

A Mac version is in the works with the team.

WHICH ONE IS THE FOLDER FOR THE INSTALLATION ???????
I AM INSTALLING IN " C:\Archivos de programa\Slitherine\Military History Commander - Europe at War GOLD " BUT THE FOLDERS IS EMPTY after of installation

Archivos de programa = program files
