for those whose game crashes as the result of a previously shown post.... i found the full-screen mode to be extremely buggy at transition screens. small screen dosbox works fine.



on tactics... well, you can ignore research in some area's, such as bombardiers and magicians. It will mean you need to come up with tactics to destroy their counter to your army, such as focusing on H I with anti cavalry special if your army is low on cavalry, and then something to eliminate enemy skirmishers


question, if an apprentice casts banshee on a unit that is surounded, does that unit surrender? I'm going to test this myself, anyway

Just downloaded FG and when I boot up dos box it complains that there is no disk in the CD rom. Once I get past that message, go to the FG directory and type install it gives me the following error message.

Unable to open HELP.TXT

Any ideas what to do?

Thanks,

Eric

for the sound configuration you can run sound.bat, not sure why can't install exe find help.txt

what are your mount lines? where is the game located on your hard drive? didn't you accidentally unpack only part of the zip file?

are you running fg.bat?

Does any remember the downloadable bonus pack for Fantasy General? I remember it was a bonus campaign, and it was very difficult. I'm sure I have it on an old harddrive somewhere, but if anyone knows of a link to it, it would be appreciated. Otherwise I'll dig it up!

Pretty good game, have been playing it for about a week now. But I must say that it is one of the rare cases where the remakes are much better than the original. I mean of course Fantasy Wars (edit:sorry!) and Elven Legacy. Despite the cheesy grafics I think they even have better atmosphere. They give much more feedback on the unit values and terrain boni. Fantasy General does not have that much tactical depth, I find terrain is mostly important for movement. The unit xp system seems more enjoyable. The only things FG has over FW is the research system for new units, and the campaign seems longer. FW has way better items and spells and more interesting szenarios.
I want those guys to make remakes for all the great games on abandonia, they do seem to have a knack for it, Kings Bounty remake is awesome,too!

I didn't know there's a remake of Fantasy General... What's FW short for?

[Abandoned Witch]

Fantasy Wars.

And is it an official remake or just someone using the same/similar idea?

It's not official but it's not a - how do they call it? - independent invention as well.
