Big problem

To be honest, I haven't even heard of a polish version. Are you certain its a legitimate retail version?

3 Are you sure it is licenced?
2 just download Balance Mod or Unnamed Mod and play it. This Mods have thier own AI scripts.

greetings from Ukraine, Polish friend

Benc, he can't just download BM or any other mod for that matter because his version is stuck at 1.25. He would need to upgrade his Space Empires game engine and then download a mod.

Have you tried to download the US patch instead of the EU one? I haven't a clue whether its compatible with a Polish version though ...

I'd suggest it's a bad translation in the data files (and AI scripts) causing your issues. You might want to pass it along to !

Delete the game completely from your system. The try re-installing from cd. sometimes the reg key gets messed up.

Our localizator has it's own patches instead of US or european versions... Maybe your localizator has it own patches on it's home site...

And i suppose there was Balance mod for 1.25 right? Can the Kwok just sent it to him?

I downloaded trailer of Polish version... and what do i see? they have TB ground battles instead of US and RUS RT... Why did it was done so? This is something like a MM joke or the advertisement, that was not realized?

Erm... assuming you meant the Polish trailer shows turn-based combat, that would appear to be a major flaw of the advertisement. Creating a whole new turn-based combat engine would require quite a bit of work.

if it was shown... i suppose it is already made,isn't it? So what the problem to add the choosable TB\RT ground combat?

It doesn't exist? A translation company probably doesn't have authorization to create huge amounts of new code (or any incentive to do so in the first place)?

You have got a good lesson on the subject: Never buy a localized version providing your English is good enough. The price of it is usually more or less the same so why ask for problems? And there are always problems: you have to wait for patches longer providing they are available at all, you will probably have problems with mods and other stuff created by the community... Personally, I would not buy a localized version even if it was half the price of the non-localized one. Fortunately, in case of the SE5 the choice is much easier as the US version is actually cheaper than the Polish one and you can easily order and receive it not leaving your home. I am sorry, Aquila, I know this answer is probably not helping you but, perhaps, there are others for whom it will be enough of a warning.

As for the TB ground combat: I have seen this trailer and there is no TB ground combat in it, it is just RT using a pause mode in the simulated tactical combat.

maybe for the AI youhave either not installed properly or your ai dificulty is not high or it is a Newtral empire.

others contact Malfador

then you just had to get your money back or change the game disc in shop

about ground combat: i see the ground divided on hexes instead of squares...In RT MM used squares

Just to feel guiltless for yourself)
You could did it days ago...)

the other way - advocate your rights as a legal buyer

Hmm, you could be right, benc. It could be the TB mode as units seem to have movement points there, not just speed.

you mean the latest 1.74 patch?

you mean the latest 1.74 patch?

CD Keys do not have the number "0" in them. They only have the capital letter "O". So anyplace that you see a 0 use the letter O instead.

from the home page

Look on the back of the US release box. it shows a still frame of ground combat, with a visible hex grid. I think it was just a change from an earlier build to the one we're familiar with.

As to your problems Aquila.
I am personally unaware of what could be causing such a problem, other than the allready mentioned.
Your install managed a self-inflicted borking (like heart failure) via:
A corruption of it's registry key during install, a corruption during a copy process of all the relevant AI-files, or simply a shoddy cd.
None of which are your fault, and the first two of which are, potentially simple to fix.

Use the un-install function to remove the game.
Re-install the game.

if that fails, then your best bet is to buck up and purchase an english-language version, as that will get the most direct help possible from the game creator, and the game modifying community, should something particularly foul occur.

And that's about it for the wisdom of this weak modder.
