I spend almost all of my limited gaming time playing the masterpiece that is "War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition".   8)

The WitP:AE forum at Matrixgames is where I spend (waste) most of my online time.    ;D

Did that tip help you out?

Sorry to take so long to respond.  I have been playing Diablo III a lot.  Tried the "music" subdirectory trick and it actually tried to work.  I usually got a black screen, then a watch icon/pointer, then crash... all in about 2 - 3 seconds.

This time, I got a black screen, watch icon/pointer, black screen, watch icon/pointer then crash, but it took about 5-6 seconds to transpire.  So, maybe I was double screwed and the music folder was just the first issue that your suggestion fixed.

Again, I appreciate your input and sorry for the delay in responding.

You might want to register at RPGCodex and browse their Workshop. Many discussions about RPG mechanics there and some indie RPG projects are underway as well:

Just be warned, the language used there is often very... colorful.

By the way ... Does anyone Knows a realistic cRPG text game set in medieval europe with real 'HISTORICAL MEDIEVAL'? (and not the pseudo-medieval we see in any common rpg). I searched and i never seen any of this kind of games, except Darklands .
I coudn't find any darklands remake/inspirated game , so i've just started (since 1 week  ;D)to program in c++ an illustrated text-based 'rpg' set in a realistic Europe of the 12th century ; a project i had in mind for a long time.

Well, the main screen in DF is so cluttered by symbols that it was a little intimidating.  At least Aurora has an interface that makes sense.

Yes i think it has intimided everyone at the first time^^ . The first hours of Dwarf Fortress are very hard, but in fact you will quickly get used to the "interface" of DF after 2-3 little games.
* I Seriously advice you to download The "lazy nebie pack" , It include alot of indispensable tools for your fortress managment and many graphic packs including an .....  isometric renderer for a DF in 2d/3d :http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2654/4071655207_868ca417cc_o.png (look better! :) )
, and many other useful things. Its regurarly updated and very easy to use . This pack is a 'must' ; i never play DF without it !
latest version :

ps: There is also a tool that allow us to use the keyboard AND the mouse  in DF (useful to designate a specific area for example).

I play dwarf fortress, stone soup, crusader kings (1-2), europa universalis 3, victoria (1-2), hearts of iron (2, aod and 3), Eve online and kerbal space program.       
Hearts of Iron 3, is something I'm still in the learning phase though as I can't really wrap my head around  the province amount.       
Also emu I didn't know you played dwarf fortress, you're now even cooler to me.       

/Zorbeltuss

Try these sets of tutorials out. . .  I found them to be very good.  I have played HOI in every inception.

Yeah, I was very, very happy with Endless Space. Very much worth the money, and it's only in Alpha!

I recently preorded Endless Space, with that you get to play their Alpha of the game. Which i must say is alot better then some game releases i have played. It is a pretty good game if you are looking for a MoO type game.

I also pre-ordered Endless Space 3 or 4 days ago. It's been quite enjoyable so far as an empire-building game, although with its cinematic/largely uncontrollable/small-scale fleet battles I doubt it will hold my attention the way MoO2 did. I still feel it's quite a good deal though for the 20 dollars it costs.

I have downloaded Dwarven Fortress... looked at it for about 15 minutes and shrugged and exited it.  TOOOO steep of a learning curve.  I'm sure I'll get back to it someday.
And here you are on the Aurora forums, a forum on a game which I would say is equal to Dwarf Fortress... :P

I own HoI3 and all the xpacs (thanks to Steam Sales) but never gave it any serious time (same with EU3), I first played Arsenal of Destruction (which was a HoI2 fan made xpac thing), which I loved.

Has anyone here tried Global Conflict Blue? Its a free Harpoon-a-like which I stumbled across when i tried to install Harpoon on my win7 system recently (it just wont install on a non 32bit system) - and was googling for help. The reason I was trying to install Harpoon again was after playing Naval War: Arctic Circle, which is pretty good, just a touch.. lightweight?

Rename music folder in HoI3 folder to something else, like music2.

Cool, I'll try that when I get home... thanks!
