The mouse organ...

Hell, the only goods you really need in the game are tools (iron ore), muskets (iron ore) and horses, which reproduce themselfs when there is enough food In that aforementioned African map match my booming period stemmed initially, I think, from employing much of the sack obtained from "indian wars...

Sounds like it is kind of a bug. I mean the AI would have parked 200-300 unused settlers :huh But the Africa map is kind of strange too. It seems to be not very detailed and surely it would have been possible to place some more hills and mountains and some more forests i think. maybe the AI can han...

There goes the second Monty Python...

Number of colonies 186. Number of colonists 2334. (Two or three of the French colonies yielded over 100 "people" each. Most just taking shelter "outside" colony of course.) This when there are only 3 Dutch colonies left, including the capital with the only fortress I'll have to attack. There are sti...

Launched a freecol match too. Playing Portugal on Africa map. Slightly smaller than America map. Alas with the original american tribes (maybe there is a mod addressing that issue, maybe not). Almost missed the deadline for first colony foundation but than development went well. Quite early there we...

Caveat emptor...

http://panzergeneraldownload.com/ A pack of oldies... Panzer General Win95 and Allied General actually run on my machine just on compatibility mode. Set to "Windows XP service pack 2 and 256 colors. OS is 7 - 64bit. Alas unit sounds don't work but that seems to be the worse problem. Level below that...

PGF WaW - Why's and How's a) I want to make the game fun again - although, everyone's definition of what "fun" is will differ, i believe most of us agree that PGF as it is now is "broken", at least when used in the context of the stock PG/AG content. The new AI, while improving upon the original in...

A completely non functional point, I'm afraid, but nonetheless it may have its own kind of importance.
Yesterday I downloaded latest installer, run it, run OG and noticed that small detail in the lower right corner of the screen.
The "go to the forum" banner is pointing to... JP's...

I agree with all the points Gixian made, however I would have 2 addendums. First, I would like to see implemented if possible the leftovers from other games which are useful, but were never included. Like Day/Night shift from Peoples General and critical damages and critical misses from Pacific Gen...

From that link Imperialism and Diplomacy look like variations of the same theme. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomacy_(game) Still, Colonization is my favorite game ever... Thinking of Colonization brings me back to a dream I had few years ago about a PG/Col hybrid. PG in terms of units/combat wi...

Yeah, Civ II RAR is one of the best games/mods ever. Played it a lot and have it still installed in my laptop. I always choose the Aztecs... RAR lifted the original game to a completely new level. Especially with the option of playing 915 turns, round about 400 turns more than the original. Play RA...

Mod's manual is packed with historical background notes to provide context for their explanations of mod features. Facts, figures, technical details, and history of the WW2 U-Boot. Taking into accou...

A summary... of the highlights... Currently: In recent months the main slice has been of PGX. Some OG and a little bit of PGF. From outside the PG "constellation" two titles. Civ III: usually with RARR mod but discovered version 2.5 of CCM came out in October, I think, and already gave it a first sp...

Read the introduction to the japanese gentlemen, hit the first link and start listening to a steady repetitive bip and I think: Man, these guys are really into strange! Do they mean Sputnik or a dripping tap? Then I start writing this post but the upper case doesn't work. I finally notice Project Ap...

:howdy Are there any facebook/instagram/myspace/whatever OG dedicated accounts? Nobody volunteered to do this job. See this thread for more information: http://forum.open-general.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=117 The fb-site is currently out of service (i think). Leaping into unknown territory a second t...

Dune is strange lately. Campaigns what worked once now generate strange stuffs. I will need to update them and check everything is fine in the chain of scenarios. I think killing all the topters not mandatory just adviced to make the scenario a bit colourfull. All scenarios concludes in a tenth cla...

In a metaphor, I see here a farming community itching to finally reap some fruit out of long and hard labour... More players and ways to get them! I actually have some personal experience in trying to get players onto a game server and forum. However, it was a different kind of game (FPS), with a di...

Bodhisattva! After trying for a few days to download your works the score is as follows: The music CD I didn't try as it seems I can hear it ingame. The rest eventually got here with one exception: the FG additional campaign, the 40mb file, keeps on looping a "loading a new key" message. A doubt... ...

Greetings to men, elves, and all the free peoples of Open General Forum! First, lets get it clear, if someone finds at memory's bottom that "Bombast" sounds familiar, well, it is. In JP's I was known as Teophrastus Bombastus, one of the odd fellows that followed primarily Crouch's PGX mod. I still p...
