Save yourself a world of trouble and just spend the $9.99 to download the game from Gamersgate. Trust me, it is so much easier and won't cost you more than the price of a movie, but will provide many more hours of enjoyment.

But, if you don't mind torturing yourself to save less than $10, by all means, hold out for an answer on these forums and all the other "tech support" you're likely going to need for your situation. Or just spend a few dollars and start having fun TODAY.

Hi! You can change your settings.txt file as bestmajor says, or run Arsenal.exe instead of AoDgame.exe and choose "English" from the drop-down 'Language' box (this will change the settings.txt file for you).

If you register your game, 1.06 is available as a .rar file in the Tech Support sub-forum. You would need a program like winRar to open this, then just extract to the AoD folder. For the hardcopy version I don't think an auto-update program is available, so far.

2mins from reading these posts to having the game appear in English, no trouble at all;)

Not launched a campaign yet, will look at registering now and sorting out the patch, thanks everyone, will be back if I have any more problems:)

I sit corrected! :) I have seen many people struggle through far more over much less in these forums.

Had I known it would be that easy I would have never suggested breaking down and forking over the $10 for the Gamers Gate file. (Although I still suspect you may be faced with some issues in the future related to your hard copy).

At any rate, I just wanted to repost because I re-read my original post and it did not come across at all like I intended it to. I sounded like kind of an ass - and believe me, that was not my intention at all. :)
