Game Issues

So far it's been a fun game, but I played it once and now I can get back into my saved game. I have a short cut saved to windows desktop and it will not open the game. I can only get it to open when I go back through the website. Still can't get it to open.

Great Catle sim RTS hybrid

Great game that stands up on its own but also works well as a tutorial for Crusader
