I very much doubt Paradox gives a rat's ass about the Napoleonic game. Pocus recently made a new patch for it, and it is available without any fuss from the original AGEOD forum.
Thanks for that info.  :)

Yeah, that whole "find the code and then type it in without any errors so that you can see shit that every game company whose head wasn't in their asses lets you freely access because it is good for sales as well as support"  was one of the real downsides to Paradox buying AGEOD; the only forums supporting AGEOD games now are forums you cannot see without going through more trouble than they are worth.

It's kinda too bad, too.  I was going to buy the Napoleonic game before I realized that I couldn't get any support without hassles.  Well, lotsa game companies in the sea, so the fact that there is a second company I won't buy from isn't that big a deal.

I find the practice rather annoying as well.  It is a fairly unique for of anti-piracy.  "We will release a game that doesn't work unless you register and download the patch.  Sometimes we'll make you pay for the patch as well.  Also the patch will likely make something else not work in the game."
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I'm still going through the tutorials :blush: , but this game seems simpler in some way than AGEOD's Civil War, which I never fully got into.  I really like what I've seen so far.

Can't really go more than two turns at a time on my computer with 2G of ram. Unplayable really. On my other one with 8G, it's much better. Though I did get one corrupted save game with that directx burst to main bug on that computer.

I'm liking the game so far, but I will admit the troubleshooting time to playing time ratio is quite bad right now.

I'm done until the next non-beta patch. I've got Russia and Prussia having control of at least two provinces, and Sardinia at 50% in Firuli even though there is an Austrian corps sitting there. All of this happening when I'm at peace.

I found the right forums, and they have everything I need.  No need to go to Paradox's forums at all.  :cool:

Glad to be of service.

Too bad I lost my Nappywars installer :( Not sure I could even pirate it to enter my serial then.

I think it is the least popular of the branch, but the reason is a bit puzzling for me, because it does a good job.

Did you patch up with the unofficial beta?  My game plays a lot faster and better after the patch.  There is now an installer version of the patch, if the directions were scaring you off.

This looks strangely like a rehash of Victoria...  Yet Vic 2 came out last year yes?

Different design team. AGEOD was working on this before they were bought.

Does AGEOD have any new projects on the horizon?

They sent me an email stating if I post on their forums again they will throw eggs at my house.  So there's that.

Hmm.  Throwing Eggs at Raz's House.  Sounds like an iOS game.
