I can't personally comment on my strategies (since the last time I contemplated them I was pre-pubescent), but I always chose the Silicoids simply for the ease and early colonization... I'm certain that will change, however I still have a problem. I do what you said, then attempt to boot it from the installed files on the C: drive. I believe it is going along correctly, however... the dosbox prompt disappears and nothing happens. If you could elaborate, I would greatly appreciate it.

I find it difficult to help you because there is no CD in my version. Why dont you try the abandonia download? It works perfect with DosBox (0.63), no CD required whatsoever.

This game is ESA protected, so no download on Abandonia. First post of this discussion should say only Review!

You should use DOSBox to install and play game if you have either cracked version or CD rom version. The other day I set up mine to use CD image I've created in the order not to carry CD with my laptop. It works nicely with DOSBox and D-Fend, as you can mount image directly in DOSBox.

Also make sure you set up sound correctly by running Install.exe.

Any tips for newbie to start the game? I am totally new to this(wondering how is miss this game when I used to be crazy playing civ, warcraft and dune2).

You need to use DOSBox.

It SHOULD say something like it needs "at least 1024kb of expanded memory". What you do, is go to Properties, then Memory, and change Expanded(EMS) memory to 1024. This allows it to run under XP And if something else is wrong, then sorry. That's the only error I got, and now I can run it normally.

plenty else is wrong! but fortunately there is dosbox and a front end loader called dosshell. Now I just go to dos shell and double click the icon ...the program loads in seconds...plays like a dream.
