Only got Crown and Glory ,and it's one the the best strategy games I've ever played .

It's Crown of Glory, isn't it?

Yeah, it looks like an interesting game. Unfortunately it isn't available locally, I'd probably have to buy a copy over the net, which most likely means paying high shipping costs...

Yeah sorry ,Crown of Glory .
You can get it as a digital download .
Mongoose .
It's pbem ,which i've never tried ,and I'm pretty sure you only have the quick battles option when you do ,which are played on a small grid and are pretty abstracted ,but the detailed battles wouldn't work with more than two players .
Cheers .

That's too bad. To be fair, I doubt playing a game like this with 6 players would be fun anyway.

Thanks for clearing that up.


edit: Now that I've read the forums, I saw this:http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tt.asp?forumid=201

So there must be some sort of Non-hotseat MP...why don't they have all this information in one place?

I've just been reading up on this game and it sounds good. Why haven't I heard more about it?

But dang it, the digital download link doesn't work. Aaaargh! Maybe I'll DL Firefox, to see if that will work.

How much is the game, BTW? I couldn't see a price tag anywhere.

Hello Screwtype and nokhor .
Sorry about the late reply ,been away .
Anyway ,the game about 400 Danish kroners ,if I remember right .But that was digital download plus the disc by post ,so you can knock about a 100 off that for just the download .
Not sure whats going on with your game nokhor .Haven't played it in a while ,due to another game I'm still trying to get to grips with .But it does sound strange .
Are you playing the latest version ?
Did you bring all prisoners of war with you after the last battle ?
Could they have been unloaded from a near by fleet ?
Not much help ,but I never seen anything like that In my games .Reinforcements have to be brought from point A to B and can't go through blocked provinces .
Anyway ,try the Matrix forums ,if you haven't already .

ok, i think i've grokked most aspects of COG, and i'd like to try multiplayer. is anyone from here interested in playing a PBEM game?

Scourge,
have you figured out yet how replacement/ resupply works? because i have no idea how the computer fills out it's depleted armies.

example, i'm playing france, and i there is a isolated, defeated austrian detachment of 7k troops in northern italy. it is separated from the rest of the austrian forces by my armies in 3 provinces. i figure there is no way it can get reinforcements without having to battle one of my armies. it begins the next turn as 3 separate armies with a troop total of about 50k and i don't get it.
