To change the game to English, you have to alter some registry file. I'll look it up. edit: "SPECIAL UPDATE PEOPLE: I just figured out how to change the POLISH LANGUAGE VERSION that lets you LOG ON to the SERVER to play into an ENGLISH ONE. 1) Go to "start" in the windows task bar. 2) Pick "Run" and type in "regedit" (without the " "). 3) go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -----> Software ----> Black Hole Entertainment ---> Armies of Exigo 4) Edit 2 specific files: a) Language : change the value from 415 to 409 b) Locale : change from pl_PL to en_US 5) Restart your game and enjoy my genius (also your English version too)." by Latham | ||

I think it's fair to give them an opportunity to play the game they paid for if they wish to. I originally uploaded it for Stenole, but decided I might as well share it. Does it work, anyway? It's the first time I'm uploading something this big. | ||

This edition can no longer connect to the multiplayer server, probably because EA had to pay money to keep it running. There is also a City Interactive edition that was released later. I think that company is Polish. This edition connects to a working online server where people are playing now. Both editions can still be found in shops (so if you were to buy it, make sure it is the City Interactive one). Downloading without buying is not nice thing to do. The links should probably be removed also.

It should give you an idea of what the matchups look like. You probably won't find any useful guides because I don't think any of the players who understood the game would write anything usable about it. I could probably give you a few pointers if you have specific questions. As far as 1-basing goes, fallen is pretty much the only race that has any opportunity to safely fast expand and will usually be the race that can expand first unless mistakes are made. A lot of the time you will end up with games where the first person who expands gets overrun. On September 11 2012 20:04 Manit0u wrote: Man, so many memories... It all makes SC2 look terribad. I'd say AoX has the same problems as SC2. They are both good and fun. But winning is mostly a result of strategic cleverness and tuning build orders more than it is about micro and execution. | ||

But winning is mostly a result of strategic cleverness and tuning build orders more than it is about micro and execution. Oh come on now. There's quite a lot of execution and micro you need to pull off at times. Setting up and executing proper flanks for instance is key in overcoming humans as fallen, as you can't meet them head-on. It also depends on your strategy, you can go for macro-heavy steamroll strat, which will benefit hugely from great build order while you can also employ less common and more demanding strats with heavy use of casters as fallen or beasts for example. There's quite a lot of micro and awareness involved in proper tree corruption and witch sacrifices at key moments to get the upper hand. But why I believe that AoX is miles ahead of SC2 is how the game actually looks, how much innovation was put into it (two levels for some maps, some global skills like fallen shroud, interesting mechanics with some spells --- mistform and transformation are great examples, etc.) and how varied each matchup could get, even though everything was simple at the core. I've had way more fun in AoX than I ever had in BW even. | ||

This might be it or not. If it's Russian than I don't know, but I assume it's Polish and ignorant people have labeled it as Russian. The second link looks like the same thing, but it was on Polish site... | ||

I've had way more fun in AoX than I ever had in BW even. I didn't say there were no execution and micro elements. But when you compare it to Brood War, there are a lot fewer actions needed to perform decently in a fight. You never lose 30 marines to lurkers because you looked away from the battle for half a second. You don't need to look away from the battle that often either. And the main fight is usually so important to win that you won't have more battles happening at the same time. The battles may have some tactical depth to them, but they are not hard to manage. I would also add that this library of viable strats is something that mostly fallen has and that has to do with the balance of the game. I don't see how Aox is anymore varied than SC2. | ||

Well, I'm horribly biased I loved AoX, CoH, DoW, WC3. BW was way too demanding on the mechanical side (which I blame on poor UI and unit AI) for my taste and SC2 just looks ugly and doesn't effect any positive feelings in me (blob combat is horrible too). AoX felt like the perfect blend of WC and BW, with best elements taken out of both games, merged flawlessly and vastly improved in many areas. You had the beautiful macro of BW, with great UI that allowed you to focus on other things than clicking all of your buildings over and over again and great fantasy setting. | ||
