I got stack overflow error when I built too many structures. Anybody else got this error?
At that time, about one quarter of entire map has covered by my structures.
When I moved a constructor which just completed a new power station, game crashed and I got error msg.
Is there maximum amount of buildings? Any possible solution?
I use windows 98se to play.

go to web site "home of the underdogs" and find the MAX game.
There's an option to pick which files you want to download instead of the whole game.
Download the following
Setup.exe
HMIDET.386
HMIDRV.386
HMIMDRV.386

Place files in the MAX diretory.
Edit max.ini file to read....
Devicename=Sound Blaster Pro
IRQ=7
DMa=1
Port=0x220
DeviceId=0xe001

Dont use dosbox, just start using VDMsound
I'm now getting sound and good speed.
Hope it works

many years ago i've played this game, best turn-based strategy ever, and let me tell you, without sound it aint half of excitement!
than i tried with settings above and all i can say is thanks!!! it works great!

I also had this problem, seems no matter what you do you can't win. Eliminated the enemy (to the point of scouring every connector off the map) and built up a large eco-sphere rating (over 200) but to no avail, gets to turn fifty then game over, no new scenario even though you are in first place.

There is a way around this however and I felt justified in doing it as I felt there was nothing else I could do to beat this scenario. In the main game folder is a file called max.ini, in there is a line called lastcampaign=4 (this is assuming you are stuck on the cooler one), cahnge this to lastcampaign=5 and hey presto, the next campaign is available.

It's not really cheating if you don't tell anyone, oops.

Even after trying everything in this thread, I can't get this working on XP. Guess I'll farm posts for ISO cellar then, tired of fiddling around with this .rar
