Thank God! I looked all over for a telephone number on the dozens of programs I
have from y ou guys, and couldn't find one! (Which shows you how often I have a
problem with one of your programs, up til now…not ONE problem, and I have an
Amiga and now a Commodore and a Macintosh. EA programs for all three. Lords of
Conquest on the 64, however. Either I have a bad disc which I don't think, or
the program is VERY sloppily written. (I love it, and have found ways of
playing games without running into problems very often, but… 1. The program
gets hung up when it tries to do something it should know it can't! For
instance I put a ship inside a land mass on an inland sea. The program captured
the boat and tried to use it to go to another island. But, although it was
obvious to me that boat couldn't move away from there, the program did and
didn't know it. It tried to move the boat, and then said, you can't do that, to
itself. (Hung up in an endless cycle of trying to do it again and again.)
Other bugs are similar. I'll have a boat captured, and then recapture it. The
computer will forget that it no longer has the boat. It will try to use it, or
a weapon that it formerly had, and of course since I captured them… it can't.
Hung up. (All of these games are at the advanced level, first difficulty.
Borderland map. European. And a couple of others. Is this perhaps only a fault
in my disc? Or is it sloppy programming? What do I do about it? Is there an
upgrade comi ngif it's sloppy programming? Thanks for such prompt response. I
won't burden you with ALL the found bugs, you may just be directing me
elsewhere. I'll try the phone number tomorrow. But, I'll also look on this
message board tomorrow also for a reply. Thanks! Andy Backer! (Remember, I DO
like the game! I just hate for it to get hung up all the time!
