difficulty levels

Post by Temuchin Khan »

I wasn't sure where to post this, because the Reddit page seems to be dead. Anyway, during the last month or two, whenever I've had time to play Argentum Age (which hasn't been that often--I am in Law School!), I have not been able to adjust the difficulty. Every game is always played at Easy, and I cannot change it from Easy to Medium. I can open the drop-down box, but I cannot make a selection. I'm playing on a Mac.

Is this with an existing account you have played with before? It sounds like it didn't automatically download the latest version of the game for you.

Can you try several more times and see if it manages to download the latest version for you and should work after that?

We are still doing some work to improve the automatic updating.

Is it possible to play Argentum Age offline, without connection to the internet? vs AI or hotseat
Is it going to be moddable like BfW?
author of: Altered Era/Ruleset (AKA "Altera"), latest version is on add-ons servers for BfW 1.16 and 1.14, latest version also still supports BfW 1.12 and 1.10, 1.10 server is stuck with older buggy version)

It is playable offline against the AI. Hotseat isn't supported.

Yes. There is already a guide on how you can run your own server allowing you to create mods easily: https://github.com/davewx7/citadel/wiki ... ADeveloper

Also a guide on how one may create their own cards: https://github.com/davewx7/citadel/wiki ... reateCards

Yes, the Windows download on our web site is 32 bit: http://www.argentumage.com/

I'm not really familiar with portableapps but it looks like an Open Source framework for making apps easy to put on portable drives or whatnot? In which case we would definitely welcome help with making Argentum Age support this.

Hey Dave, downloaded the Linux version from the above link and got this error when I tried to extract it:

Code: Select all

tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

It is a bz2 compressed tar archive (the meaning of the .tar.bz2 extension).

You can use the following commands to extract it:

Code: Select all

bunzip2 argentum-age.tar.bz2
tar xfv argentum-age.tar
The first command decompresses the archive. The second command unpacks the tar.

that's what I used and it says that "anura.exe is not a valid Win32 application"... tried on winXP - is it too old for 32 bit apps?

EDIT: tried on win7, got this message:
"Assertion Failed
WindowManager.cpp:277 ASSERTION FAILED: Failed to GL Context: Could not create GL Context"
is there something wrong with my PC or is it a bug?

yes, and it also essentially makes the app "zero install" and makes it store all its data/configs/etc in its own folder so it is convenient to use it by "guest users".
I wonder why this kind of apps is so scarce as most compilers I ever stumbled upon make *.exe's that work without installation...

Sounds like your graphics card or its driver is too old.

The latest version of Argentum Age is now available and would love feedback on it. Please check it out at http://argentumage.com

Like Wesnoth, Argentum Age is open source and moddable and welcomes users to contribute to it.

I apologize, we had a problem with our Windows binary link. It's fixed now.
