Conquest of the Aegean

[Astromarine]

Anyone else playing this? So far, I've completed the first tutorial and Sarantaporon - Daylight. I haven't advanced further because I've been replaying Sarantaporon over and over to try and find out how to use my units to influence the battle in my favor. As a benchmark, on the first try all I did was order the senior HQ commander to directly attack the objective every time a new reinforcement showed up. So far, that was the only Decisive Victory I managed. so I guess I'm still much worse than the tactical AI. Anyone has any tips or something?

so I guess the answer is "no, mr. astro sir! we're all weenies who like starcraft too much to try real games" I thought I was supposed to be the RTS casual player in this outfit?

Didn't really pay much attention to it, but a lot of people 'round here seem to think highly of it. Shame there's no demo of it to try out, as I'm a bit hasty shelling out 50 bucks at this point in time.

 

[Astromarine]

don't be. if there's a game to make you think highly of realtime with pause, it's this one :D

 

[Naked_Lunch]

Real time with pause? Hell, now I'm just curious to get it just to see how that works. I'll see what I can do, though 50 bucks is still kind of a lot for me right now.

Astro: Here's a thread that may help you a little. Also, make sure you read the "MarkShot's Top Tips" pdf in the Documentaion folder that installs with COTA.

NL: here's the demo of the first Airborne Assault game. It's not the same as COTA obviously, but it'll give you an idea of the gameplay at least.
