The depth of this game is really 2nd to none. it still feels like ive yet to unlock the full potential of this game and its mysteries! So many units and buildings and factions! Phenominal map making system. Truly a must have for RTS fans!
Thank you very much ,GOG! You made the impossible: the main game works on Windows 10!Now it is time for the add-on. It still does not work on Windows 10 but I am ready to wait for the repair. I did not played this game when it was released but there is always time for this. Thanks in advance.
I remember back in the 90s, I would play this game with 2 of my friends for the whole night and not sleep. It was an awesome game, with an awesome online community back then!
Well i wont go into details of the gameplay since the game is a good retro RTS, but the most annoying feature was that i could not save the game. Kinda sucks since you cant play the whole campaign in one go. Thankfully i found a ''cheat'' that helps with this problem. You edit a file and now it shows a ''cheat'' button at the bottom left of the screen, which you press and then select any mission on the mission select dial. This made the game playable. Posting the instructions at the below.
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Using a text editor, edit the "shellcfg.h" file locacted in the "dark\shell\" directory. Change the "#define BTN_MISSION_COEFFICIENT 150" line to "#define BTN_MISSION_COEFFICIENT 157". The new "Cheat" icon in the lower left corner of the screen will allow any mission to be selected on the dial.
