If you use the Win95 version to boot, it will work . . . except you probably won't have sound. That's the issue I currently have. DOS Box will probably work, but again, you probably won't have sound as the original DOS game used the old 16 bit cards that are not in any way compatible with what we have now. Which is too bad, because the background music is sooo classic.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="41" id="2782949"]Here's the issue at hand and the corresponding hole in the current system: This way, we could begin migrating back to the original concept tha tyou can build multiple buildings in a given city as long as you have the resource (available citizens) to make use of it. This encourages fewer cities and makes players choose between using their population for building their economy or putting them in arms. [/q
[quote who="divvu80" reply="62" id="2783158"] Quoting Tolan_Grimm, reply 57 I'm glad I've got Windows XP on a dual boot here, cause if it's TBS Fantasy loving I need, Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic is all I'm left with. And hey, right out of the box? No CTDs, a WORKING Random map generator, and tons of factions that are fun to play. Things I expected Stardock to improve upon. AND a global mana pool.
THIS is why one NEVER starts shooting a movie without a complete script . . . the story becomes a hodge-podge of ideas that don't translate into a single, unified whole. Elemental is like a small budget Hollywood picture that wants to be a summer blockbuster . . . but without a complete script, actors, and a director that has a compelling vision. Global Mana Pool? That's sooooo much crap, I think I need to call in Triumph, the Comic Insult D
This is insane. I'm fighting the Capitar Sovereign and my Morale, at the start of the fight, even with a CR advantage of 20 points, is near zero . . . Even after the very first attack I make, which, between two giants, 2 archers and my King's magic attacks, has slaughtered all but 2 units and a Stone Giant, my morale drops to zero and on the Capitar's opening move, all my troops PANIC. The Two units, the king's daughter, a soldier and the Giant, proceed to rip my army to shreds.&n
