What (Empire) game are you referring to? :confused:

I have more money in computer games than I will admit to. Yet this demo of EoS has me hooked! I love this game and I can't wait for the final release. This is the type of game I have been waiting years for. If you had Pre-Order I would have bought it by now. Thanks! PS: A lot of that computer game money has gone to Battlefront too...

Nupremal; I tried getting your campaign through cmmods.com but am having trouble with the webring part of joining. Is there an easier way to get this campaign that I hear is so wonderful? SeaMonkey has been telling the folks over at Matrix how good this campaign is, and I want a piece of this action.

pzgndr: Excellent explanation. Thank you very much. Now it all is making sense. I have been playing this series off and on, and I own all of them including the expansions. SC1, SC2, WaW, Patton, and SC3 Pacific. When I finally used Operate and also read about it in the manual, I was baffled. I had previously used Operate but never noticed the morale hit. Again, I was not paying attention to detail like I should. I will check out the events for changing this to a lower point if it becomes bothersome. However, now that it makes more sense, I may just leave it alone. Thanks to both replies!

That makes sense somewhat. However, I was picturing the Vietnam situation, where troops are trudging along in swampy snake infested marshes, and having to worry about foot problems due to so much moisture. They would gladly trade that for pavement walking. What you said makes good sense now that I read your post again. Thanks for the quick reply!

What is the reasoning behind losing 25% or more morale when using Operate to move? It already costs MPP units to do so. I don't understand why using a train or pavement would cost such high morale points? I have tried to figure out what the ramifications would be in a non-fictional situation and using a train or pavement seems like it would boost a troops morale if anything. Please explain. :confused:

Excellent! I'm really in no hurry, just curious. I bought the full package so I am not held up in playing. I just did not want to print out any of the manual since the physical one will be coming soon. Blashy: Yes I have the download. I learned the hard way a long time ago... don't save a buck by just buying the physical copy. Otherwise I go crazy with waiting to play! ;-)) Thanks to both of you.

I suppose the physical copies have not mailed yet? Still waiting... :confused:

I've been learning a lot with each new post. Thank you to all!

Gosh, Thank you! I printed this out and will read it before my next attempt. Thanks a million! If I have any questions then I will be back. Says Arnold...

Hey AZ! I keep getting found over here. Well you caught me. I bought SC2 and both expansions and I have been trying to learn how to play this game without getting creamed every time. So far it's not happening, but I am also playing as Axis. I liked SC2 so much I bought SC1 and enjoy that too. Also have Tacops4 and all Combat Missions (4). All great games! However I'm tired of getting beat in SC2.

I should have stated that at the start, but I goofed. I'm sorry. Well, it's my fault again like usual. :mad: So when playing with FoW off, silent mode only causes the sub to NOT hunt then. Not to be silent as far as being found. OK. Now I got it. I will start over with FoW on.

Hubert; Thanks for the detailed reply. I printed out all you said and I will try what you said. Maybe a big difference is that I have also been playing with FoW off? I am trying to learn this game and having FoW off I thought may help me see what is going on more. Maybe that's the wrong thing to do? I have a lot of war games, most from Matrix but quite a few from Battlefront, but I have never really sat down and tried to learn SC2 until now. It's very different from what I am used to. :eek: It's much harder than I thought, even on the easiest level. Any tips would sure be appreciated. Yes I have read most of the manual.

It still seems like a broken option. No matter how I use silent mode, the enemy ships zero right in on me and I'm dead every time. Every enemy type ship and not just destroyers. As a matter of fact, subs in this game almost seem worthless. I have a German sub off the coast of Canada and I have it in silent mode. Next turn the British ships zero right in on it and even when it dives, it's destroyed. The only place I can have subs last is in port. Thank you for your reply.

I have played SC2 Blitzkrieg and the Weapons & Warfare expansion and in both games my subs in silent mode got sunk. I mean the British went right over to them and sunk them. Whether in silent mode or attack, it made no difference?! When I had them in attack mode, the British ships came right over to them and pounded them. So I put them in silent mode and scooted off as far as my allowable hex travel would allow. Next turn, the Brits went right to them and sunk them. Is this feature broken? :eek:
