hmmmm usually when I hit windows key, I can only see the stuff on the bottom and the game is frozen until I click back on it.

My game pauses as soon as I alt tab out of it.

The Far Side

Uh you can alttab out of it though

er, oh well I can sometimes, but sometimes I cant

Raneados

one review did mention that the onliine support for Dawn of discovery is shit from 10 butts

Charles Kinbote

games are getting worse and worse at alt-tabbing

trying to alt-tab TF2 means sandwich time for me

Loomdun

thats a lot of poop

BYToady

Every game should have a windowed mode.

Raneados

fortunately this one does

Loomdun

Oh It does, you just gotta hit esc to enter the save game selection to be able to easily tab out

BYToady

P will also pause the game.

sarukun

So I bought this game and it's pretty fuckin' sweet.

pausing sometimes isn't enough, you gotta hit esc to be able to safely tab out all the time

sarukun

I do that anyway, just in case for some reason taking focus away doesn't pause the game.


Definitely got eaten in single player left 4 dead a coupla times cuz of that.

tyrannus

I just wish I could lay waste to cities easier. It's a pain trying to move an army around a CPU city

The Far Side

its so much easier to let the cities do that to themselves, tyrannus

just make sure to destroy their warehouse and the people'll eventually riot

Indie Winter

oh my, Tales of Monkey Island is amazing

I've had more giggles and laughs out of that one episode than out of the entire first season of Sam & Max (which I absolutely loved)

really this game is amazing on every level, everyone should buy it

In mission three when I took over the town from Joan of Arc the people quickly rioted because they didn't have anything to drink. It was the great cider riot of 1404. I was like, drink some damn water you pricks.

Zen Vulgarity

Yeah what the fuck

Not happy with water, you dicks?

Loomdun

the water is all icky and salty

Drool

There's obviously fresh water somewhere. You don't grow hemp with salt water, or make cider with salt water either.

Zen Vulgarity

Bunch of ungrateful little shits they are

Loomdun

its okay, they make up for the fact that they only seem to eat fish

Drool

Actually when things are going well they're really grateful. If you ever need to feel better about yourself just click on a house full of satisfied peasants and they'll tell you how wonderful you are.

Zen Vulgarity

No fuck you

I will tax this shit out of you

There's a crusade going on

Indie Winter

this juicy drumstick will provide sustenance for the journey ahead

I named my child after youuuu

Indie Winter

honestly is there like a walkthrough for all the little sidequests

I just finished the second level and all the quests in the stats were nice and lit

all smug and satisfied I scroll down to admire my work and nooooooooo The Feast what how could I miss it

I will never get the continuous quest completion achievement this way

Drool

There's the official prima strategy guide yay!

Otherwise I haven't been able to find any online guides, and I don't really expect to find any because this is an obscure German game that morons working at IGN or Gamespot or 1up won't cover. Well maybe they'll cover the DS and Wii version.

Indie Winter

so were is this damn quest actually

luckily I saved just before picking up Hilarious

Drool

You just have to click on the market building of the stone quarry island that Lord Humpingston ownes to the south of your main island.

Indie Winter

coo'

tyrannus

this is a magical game and makes me love deutschland even more

Fuga

daaaamn, i remember when I saw this game's popup when it was released on steam, took one look at the page and just thought it was another rts.
the op makes me want the game so much.

Drool

Grab the demo.

Indie Winter

really?

it's a pretty crappy OP

okay, so, third mission in the campaign. The Wormtongue rip off says he's gonna come down to "inspect my work" after I built the Harbor Master's Office, and... that's it. no additional quest, no ship on the way nothing. Am I missing something here?
