Demo doesn´t start! What´s wrong??
I downloaded the demo and it wouldn´t start on both of my systems. I get a black screen, then back to desktops. I must admit, that my systems are not exactly High-End, but it should at least run very slow or give an error message. These are the specs:
1:
Pentium III @ 500 MHz
256 MB RAM
Geforce 2 MX 32 MB
Win 98 SE
2:
AMD Duron @ 1.0 GHz
256 MB RAM
32 MB On-Board Graphic
Win 98 SE
I would really like to play the demo and buy the game. If anyone has a solution how I can get it to work I would appreciate it.
Greetings, Homunculus88

I'm not sure if your comp meets the min requirements. Sorry. =(

It says
* 256MB Ram, 500 MB disk space
* A good OpenGL accelerated graphics card (geforce or equivalent is recommended).
Win98 should be supported, but I don't know if it was tested under 98.
Graphics card and memory are probably the two biggies.

The Pentium III is under spec.

Well, well, probably I SHOULD buy a new comp. If you can´t play turn-based-strategy games anymore it´s time to upgrade  . Thanks for the quick replies. |

Re: Demo doesn´t start! What´s wrong??
It should run on both of those. If its a sys requirement thing the program would just run extremely choppy or slow most likely.
Maybe its due to win98. Anyone else run doms on win98?

You might try playing with the switches if you know how.
RIght-Click the icon that starts the demo and add switches to the command line to run it in a lesser mode

I have a pentium_3(1.0Ghtz) with 512 megs of ram and 16MB graphics card at work.
The demo took a long long time creating the small map with 2 players.
