Computer Gaming / Re: For FRIDAY

Last post by Destraex - Today at 07:26:10 AM

Board gaming - finishing off an excellent game of Colonial Twilight then the difficult choice of whether to establish Great Britain as a republic with Cruel Necessity or just blow shit up with Panzer Command. Decisions, decisions...

Are these all solo games or are you attending a home to play with a group of friends?

All solo (though Cruel Necessity is the only designed as a solo game) - there is a game group fairly nearby but they tend to play mainly Euros. I enjoy playing games solo as much to explore the history as anything else - they all play well solo (CT has an AI Bot, though I tend not to use it, and Panzer Command is chit pull which always works well) - I'm lucky in that I have a dedicated game room so can leave a game set up & go back to it as & when I get the opportunity - I think my Colonial Twilight game has been spread over about 4 weeks.

Nice.

That should work and is a pretty low cost solution that allows them to keep AD on the front lines
Id say both sides have an innate sense of ingenuity around this war that NATO and others should take note of

Yeah as you can see below from the example I posted, even on the weekend the devs seem very active. Blair Fraser is one of the original ironclad devs from sins1.

 Most game devs use discord these days as it is favoured by the younger crowd. Personally I think forums are much better for structural reasons. Discord is very hard to find anything on usually. Even when the devs make special areas for feedback and try to make things more forum like.

No, it should not have broken saves.
Blair Fraser — Today at 10:23 AM
Saves should be fine.
Send me one of your save games and I'll verify, otherwise fix it.
it should zip up nice so it can be sent to me here on discord via DM.

same as with rpare, send one to me as a zip via DM. this should not be happening.

sure one moment, thank you!

(to be clear, send me one of the ones you can't load, not a new one that works :P)

we screwed up and will make a hotfix for loading save games. however, here is a work around.
first, your recent save games are safe and will load with 1.21.6.
you need to go to "%username%\AppData\Local\sins2\settings\settings.json"
change "front_end.enable_strict_saved_game_filtering" to false instead of true
then restart the game and you should see your save game show up in the load menu

Thanks! I do not do the Discord thing, so anything there passes me by. The regular forums did not seem really active.

All that is good news. I am hovering over the "buy" button.

Dominions 6 MP game. I think Asphodel is my favorite nation now they are a lot of fun after the changes made finally. They used to suck so bad.

Also SCACW for my ACW fix...Need more practice after the Colonel gave me a lot of trouble:

Shadow Empire.  If I can assimilate two nearby large minors (90k pop each) I may be able to put up a fight against the giant major that is currently friendly with me but is theocratic.  Who knows when their god will demand my head.
