Its official, my EU2 cd (which i actually bought too! :mad: ) is busted...lol. Its too scratched up to install or play the game, whenever i enter the game, the screen just...blacks out. It can't even be read.

Needless to say, im going to have to improvise, please bear with me while i do :p this isn't over!

I'd say you were busted there TreizeV. :eek: Then again, if you weren't play 1.07 or better, then we're all pretty much screwed until you can get things jury rigged back to completing this AAR. Now that's a scary thought! :eek:

No matter, I'm sticking around until you tell me this AAR is dead.... and maybe I'll stick around for a little while after that just in case. :D

If the game is on your compiter, you can still update to 1.07 (and 1.08 for that matter) - it is still lined up in the updates area. Just an idea.

But games started in an earlier version are generally unplayable in 1.07. I know Stroph was able to manage the feat in his Brunei game, but when I moved from 1.05 to 1.07 my saved games were unsalvagable -- for example, during the first month I would have a bill for an astronomical amount of money for military maintenance, and go bankrupt.

TriezeV, I don't suppose you have any friends locally who have the CD?

To be honest Coz1, I was lazy, after it didn't work anymore, after repeated tries, i uninstalled it =/. It also has to do with my new video card as well....i dunno why but even without the Cd my screen just goes...black.

Anyways...i've been improvising....just to show that i'm actually trying something ;) i'd like your imput on this....

My computer doesn't run/show EU2 anymore, but Victoria is working fine. So i just fiddled around....

NapoleonicEurope.jpg

Europe on the eve of the invasion of Spain.

FrenchEmpire.jpg

France and It's Satellites.

Generals.jpg

Reborn! (i can upload pics if someone tells me where the picture file is =/)


What do you guys think? I've only changed the Dates, Generals (i'm going to add allied generals ;) rest assured.) And i've half heartedly redrawn Europe. Do you think this is good? (one advantage is i can have a larger army than in EU2, i was never able to make the Grande Armee over 300,000 men, in Victoria i think i can.

Do you guys like it? If not, i'll see if i can get my hands on another copy of EU2, and maybe get someone to check my video card/monitor.

Haha Ptan, its not what you think, i merely changed the start date of the scenario to some random date in 1809 so that you guys know where i'm starting from (the current AAR is at november though, this is just prior to the invasion of spain.) ;)

When i unpause the game...it reverts back to the original time period :( (which is 1836) So just take the date and subtract 17 years from it :p hehe. I'll be doing the math anyway. (Believe me, i looked for patches, but they all seem to just crash the program.)

do you guys mind?

No, I think this might work. As long as the story continues, I'd be just as happy for you to make it up the rest of the way. ;) That's some nice editing though. You should try to get ahold of a new EUII copy though - how can you live without it? :eek: :D

Hey Treize, whatever works, whatever works! :D

I (and quite a few other people for that matter!) eagerly await the continuation of the story!
VIVE L'AAR!!!! (Excuse the horrible attempt at Francolising that, but I just had to, eh?)
