I think if you follow the instructions on the download page, you'll need the ini file to read "gob = c:". Since "c:conquer" is mounted as "c:" Dosbox doesn't recognize that the folder "conquer" exists.

Why not try one of these:
Quote:
GOB=.
GOB=.\
It did work with some other games, might work here too.

Yes, just extract the archive in your DOSBox C-drive and mount the CD folder as CD-ROM drive D:\

That one seems to work.

BTW, there are a few files in the current archive that the game deletes after you exit back to DOS. Those temporary files take up a few MBs:
Code:
ALL.*
DEFAULT.DAT
TEMP.JAP

Indeed, and after some tests I found you can make this game run without having to mount the CD subdirectory as the CD drive, and no matter what path it is located under. Here's how:
Move everything from the \CD\ subdirectory - including the CONQUER subdirectory - to the main game directory, but do not overwrite the existing conquer.ini. Overwriting a duplicated GOB file is OK. You can now remove both batch files (optional, but they're useless from now on). Now, change the paths in conquer.ini to:
Code:
GOB=.\
AUD_DRV=.\
CD_PATH=.\CONQUER\
Ta-dah!

Default If somebody could make a video of this.

The only reason I can work DOS box is from watch video on youtube, so gentlemen, if could make video for the dos dummy like myself it would be such a great help. I would really love to to play this game.

I know how to mount and all that fun jazz, but I have no idea of how to get into the code.
