The latest in the classic Empire Series of games, which has spanned almost five decades. · By
I keep getting this at about 150 or so turns into the game. tried to play several games now, keeps happening. Says I must check the latest log where the data files are stored. I have deleted and reloaded the game twice. what is causing this? I can't play. I did create some new units and modify an AT to move 3 instead of two.
Well, an honor to meet you truly. Have read you in past forums with your discussion of various additions you've made to the game over the years. First, I am a dinosaur and not particularly techy. I have no idea or desire to try modifying anything even though I had bought EDIE in the past with that thought. Seemed too easy to make a mistake changing coding or parameters to someone not trained in this stuff. Why I was so excited to get this new version years later. (I started playing back in 95 or so). So, No modes, no modifying script files. Just used the edit program to make the air transport move 3 spaces and experimented with a ground attack aircraft variation. Those worked great. I did try to make a hydrolectric power plant to use as an energy source like oil for engineers or seabees to build but that didn't work. But when that game with the modified units crashed, I went back to the old saved game with standard units, and it crashed also. Then looking for the game on the computer for those "data files" using search or the empire game seems to take me back to the itch.io place, when I expected it to be on the computer. I can find other games I've downloaded to get into their files but not Empire. So I thought this version is only playable through the internet although I wanted to be able to play off line...and you see my ignorance abounds in multiple areas. But I haven't been able to play it since. Went back to playing edie on an older legacy computer out of frustration that I still have a cd for from over 10 years ago or more. No response on here, didn't know where else to ask, hated to ask Mok himself on the killer Bee site preschool level questions, just wanted to find a forum. and this was the only one for combined ed. I did delete and re download it and it happened again, and I just didn't know what to do further.
If you can point me to a forum more active than this-really I just want a flash drive with the game on it-seems simpler to me. But right now, paid for a game I can't play, and I LOVE strategy board games-Axis and Allies, Steve Jackson's OGRE/GEV tactical small unit warfar, Avalon Hill's Blitzkreig, playing with miniatures, such was with the plastic army men(yep, set of rules for them) or Car Wars or Star Fire space series where you design your own units, and so forth. I will think about new things to do in empire while driving on the road etc. I'm a fan, but stuck.
thanks for any input you have for me. Just someone I can email or post to get answers back. Appreciate much!
Alan
