Battle Isle Platinum (includes Incubation)

Since Incubation is an old favorite of mine, I created an overhaul mod for the 25th anniversary. If you are interested, you can find the download and detailed information about the free mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/incubationtimeisrunningout/mods/1

4 great games for $10. Battle Isle pretty much defined standard for hexagonal strategies of that time, featuring a ton of strategic options. Battle Isle 2 added animated 3D fight scenes, upgraded the AI and expanded the options, culminating into Battle Isle 3 - the engine at it's fullest potential. Battle Isle is a hard nut to crack. Starting from the 2nd installment supplies start to make a huge difference. Your army can't fight without ammo or fuel! Radar coverage, long range bombardment and quick flanking units start to make a difference on the large battlefield. But what about Incubation? It's plain excellent. It's a turn based squad game that can rival with the best - Jagged Alliance and XCOM. Variety of enemies, weapons and missions provides a timeless enjoyment. For strategy enthusiasts, this package is a MUST.

Leider hat GOG Sie z.T. nur schlecht optimiert bzw. keine Hinweise für die korrekte Funktion gegeben. Habe ein paar Tipps (die auf englisch in diversen Posts schon gegeben wurden) zusammengetragen: Für den Single Player Modus von "Battle Isle 1" braucht man folgende Codes (Bei der Erweiterung "The MOON" ist der Startcode schon korrekt eingetragen) 1 CONRA 2 PHASE 3 EXOTY 4 MOUNT 5 FIGHT 6 RUSTY 7 FIFTH 8 VESUV 9 MAGIC 10 SPACE 11 VALEY 12 TESTY 13 TERRA 14 SLAVE 15 NEVER 16 RIVER 17 EUROP 18 STORM Speichern kann man am Rundenende mit "D" gefolgt vond einer Zahl von 0-9. Die Erweiterung DESERT läd nicht: DosboxBI1_single.conf öffnen und Code :desert cls mount C "..\DESERT" c: cls DESERT.EXE goto exit austauschen. Singleplayer Codes: 1 BLOCK 2 WATCH 3 LAGUN 4 BIRMA 5 SERPT 6 RAMBO 07 YUKON 08 POINT 09 FROGS 10 ITALY 11 LINES 12 VARUS 13 SOUND 14 TWEAK 15 NIPON 16 FLAIR 17 ARROW 18 KORSO 19 NOUTH 20 FJORD 21 DONOR 22 LEYES 23 JUMPY 24 WERFT Incubation startet unter Win 10 nicht. Die sound.dll gegen die Version aus dem Thread https://www.gog.com/forum/battle_isle/windows_10_cant_launch_the_game/page1 austauschen. Settings.exe mit Administratorrechten aufrufen und auf 3DFX umstellen und dann starten. Ansonsten sind die Spiel auch heute noch gut spielbar.

Original source: https://www.gog.com/forum/battle_isle/windows_10_cant_launch_the_game/page2 Excellent game finally playable on GOG under windows 10. HIGH FIVE!

Geee!!! I can't believe it! I dreamed it, Gog made it! The battle isle series was great, but their ancestor, present in its collection is the best turn based strategy game ever : History Line! The graphics are obviously dated, but I never could find such quality after this game! IA is perfect : challenging and at the same time can be beated. The maps are rich. The battle Isle episodes are definitely good too, even if according to me, they couldn't compete with the original. My only thought about history line is that the controls were made with joystick. I really hope that in this adaptation, a change in the controls system has been made. As soon as I finish this review, I'm buying and downloading the game. So I'll know soon enough. :)
