One thing about the above ^. I have been told by developer and publisher alike that only 2% of the games purchasers ever visit or post on an official forum. So, you are telling me you based your changes from the CMx1 engine to the CMx2 engine from the feedback of maybe 75% of the 2% of people that actually post?

Do you not have settings for +1, +2, and +3 advantage? Do you not have settings for 10%, 20%, 25% more troops etc. etc. advantage? To me that is cheating, game altering, advantages that of course I know about and set to my liking for the ai to use. Maybe that is not what you call cheating but an advantage no less. Also, what about this borg spotting so many speak of that's not suppse to be in CMx2? Isn't that a form of cheating?

Well, you certainly have a right to your "opinion" and that's all it is is an opinion. But, I prefer the silicon ai vs a lying cheating game altering human. At least for the most part I know the ai is going to get advantages and cheats, but, I know what they are at least. I will always prefer silicon over human counterpart. Nothing about playing another human is any fun for me. I'll just stick with CMAK and CMBB, they both function very well for the game and type of game I am looking for.

Is that a mod or what Poesel? I'd be interested in that. It's the only thing that will keep the CMx2 engine alive for me. Cmx1 is still better. The randomness cannot be compared to. Although to enjoy I have to play defense a lot and even that have the ai assault me for challenge.

I'm for random maps and random plans as well. It's the one reason I don't buy more modules. I still play CMx1 more than the new stuff because of the way quick battles are generated. I guess we are part of the small crowd, but that is still hard to believe the new crowd likes static maps and the new system better.

it is amazing how fast 50 comes after you turn 40, so you guys in your 20's and 30's better enjoy it while you can. It's just around the corner. I see the cast of friends nowadays and the guys look soooo old. Of course the girls are still hot but they get fixed. Fake beauty. Seeing Mark from the Rifleman today is shocking he's an old fart like me. Gilligan dead from Gilligan's isle and Ginger looks like one of them old street walkers who can't get a job doing anything else. lol Even Seinfeld looks like my grandpa. lol My grandpa.....and Alan Alda (hawkeye from Mash) old and gray is unbelievable. It is sad getting old.

While the whole battle can't be replayed I get that but what I want to know is can the "turn" be replayed so I can see what all my units did over n over? I do agree with this ^ too. With the tcp/ip wego crowd gone or lost you begin to have different wants and player types. I could care less about decals. I just wanted to be able to play in turns online without having to play PBEM.

But, I have 10's of thousands of points to expend before NM even begins to affect me, why shouldn't I expend some of those points? To hell with them all, let them die for the fatherland as they were suppose do. What they were born for I will command. :__)

Ok thanks for responding Moon, now I just have to find out which is the better game. The Great War and the 1939 Storm over Europe or Global Conflict Gold Bundle. You guys need to quit making so many choices, it's hard to decide. )

I want to use the 1939 Storm accross Europe as a comparison to Global Conflict Gold bundle. Which of the two is the better game? Has the best ai? What are the differences? Price is about the same but someone I highly trust recommended the Great War game and then use the 1939 Storm Across Europe model to play WWII. I'm skeptical so please help me out here.

hrmmm they aren't talking CSS.....guess they don't want to tell us. lol

Remember when things used to work on release and they were pnp?

lol Blazing that was a good one. roflmao I can't stop laughing

As I was downloading the patch I noticed right below it that there was also a patch for CMBN and I'm wondering the same thing if he didn't patch with the right patch's. I don't have CMBN so I read carefully both patches and which games they were for.......Sorry about the Mac comment I just couldn't resist....kinda goes with the territory if you own a MAC.

Malwarebytes is better than Avast for catching malware and even trojans....one time I had 56 virus's after downloading a mod for Rome 2 total war, beware those radious mods. they look friendly on the outside but are dangerous on the inside. I always use MalwareBytes after downloading something and if there anything attached to the download, MalwareBytes usually finds it. Best freeware I ever got for virus checkers.

One question, are there airplanes in the WWI game or is it all trench warfare. I want to fly a fokker triplane. )

Thanks Hubert....now when's the christmas sale. )

for the 1939 Storm Across Europe addition? This is all so confusing sometimes. Your product page mentions nothing about requiring Breakthru, yet in the forums the title of one thead is 1939 Storm across Europe with Breakthru....which is it? I really just want the 1939 Campaign. So the most inexpensive path is what I'm looking for to get it.

get rid of the Mac and get a real PC that should solve the problem.

Yeah when's the christmas sale start here? Matrixgames has already started theirs and Slitherine too.

Having been a detractor of the CMx2 engine for a very long time like you I was out of work (stroke) and had some free time and free money so I bought into CMFI and gustav line package deal because I was bored (waiting on RTWII and Talisman digital and Hereos of Stalingrad) but I'm glad I did the ai has been kicking my butt and it's enjoyable losing once in awhile. I wish more and more companies built games to win and not just delay our victory. I'd say get it and I'm not biased. The only disappointed I have with the game is no real random battle maps they are taken from a group of maps already made by someone else who thinks he knows how to make maps.

thanks I found where it goes: the data file is correct once it's made into a .blz file. So I just copied and pasted it there and now I have red fire tracers. thanks again.

if it goes in the modules directory then it doesn't work because the fire shots are still white.

where and what do you put the mod he didn't give much instuctions like where it goes.

Is there a way to change the tracer fire from white to another color? like what file do I modify?
