Campaigns on the Danube v3.0.4 out

[-budd-]

Thanks everyone, i was had at" there's nothing else out there quite like it"  It probably helps me that i wont be controlling all the units because i know very little about that's era's warfare and would for sure screw up. I forgot this was a Frank Hunter game, haven't tried his stuff yet...........SOLD.

I was reading the product page, is the resolution still fixed at 800X600? might give me pause being fixed at that resolution.

[panzerde]

No, Frank added in higher resolutions.

...If you read John Gill's 1809 trilogy, depicting one of the two campaigns in the game...

John Gill, the 23rd century historian?!?  :o
And thanks for the info, panzerde. I'm going to have to buy this now.

You are all welcome....I would like to see the "happy dance" though....  8)

Well that was weird. I hadn't installed this on The Presence before -- the game is so old (by Matrix standards) that the installer requires you to provide not only a name but a company, it won't take a blank company space for an answer  :o -- and so naturally after I was done I dl'd and ran the patch.

According to the patch, when it ran the scan, the game was already patched up to the current patch version.

I ran it anyway. But still. Weird.

I actually bought this the last christmas sale and haven't really played it.  The goal was to use it as a campaign tool for histwar because it has an import function for using a 3rd party tactical battle game to resolve tactical battles.  It was originally designed for minis, but you could use histwar or even scourge of war Waterloo with mods. Never got around to it though.

[JasonPratt]

I was thinking Scourgealoo, too.  O0

Not that I have that yet; and as you say, mods. Also, I feel like going to tactical would sort of defeat the purpose of the game, which is to sit in your well-apportioned tent and try to figure out what the heck you're supposed to be doing.  :))

Thread bumpty to remind people who recently got the game that I'm working on a DAR, which I'd still be capable of turning into a multi-player game if anyone is interested. You don't have to write a parallel DAR if you don't want to: this game is ALL ABOUT the fog of war, so having the other player permanently behind that screen (until game end perhaps) would help illustrate what the game's about.

Strangest thing...can't get the original setup file to run regardless what I try....I know it worked a couple of years ago, maybe a Windows 10 thing...

No, I installed it and it runs fine on Windows 10.

No, I installed it and it runs fine on Windows 10.

Guess not sure then....did you try installing after Windows 10 installed or just converted over?

[bbmike]

Yes, I've had Windows 10 installed for a while now and just install Campaigns. Can you download the original setup file from Matrix again?

[Grim.Reaper]

Yes, I've had Windows 10 installed for a while now and just install Campaigns. Can you download the original setup file from Matrix again?

I was looking for my original email with link, but couldn't find it....and appears I must have purchased after they implemented the ability to redownload from their store.  Oh well....not a huge deal, was just curious to fire it up again.

[JasonPratt]

It installed fine and runs fine on my Win 8.1 system, by the way.

It looks kind of like the new patch features the whole game as a reinstall, so if you have your disc code that may work...?
