Yep! Works fine now. Back in the saddle.

Did a quick battle...my mortar carrier basically took out about 15 looters with long range mortar fire. Anyway awesome... Hate to see one of those in an enemy unit.

I just picked this up the other day. I like it a lot, it reminds me strongly of Mount and Blade.

Apparently, they have removed vehicles from the game, but they indicate that eventually, they can be modded back in.

Version is 0.951, and is very stable for me.

I remember having saving issues. Is that solved?

This looks interesting, wish listing this, thanks.

I can confirm that there are no saving issues having played the game about a month ago.

I cranked up the graphics to highest, and it runs fine. Autosave and load works fine. I am three hours in, and have yet to actually shoot anything...but I did get to level two, and upped my shooting skill.

Like Mount and Blade, it will be a very slow start...but I like this MORE than Mount and Blade. There are a few videos online that show a player with a bad ass sniper rifle with a 6x scope. BOOM BOOM BOOM! That's what I am working toward..to the point of using a single shot, crap rifle, just to gain the occasional skill point as I pump rounds downrange.

Money isn't super tight...I have five fighters, all of which I am very carefully equipping with the best armor they can use. I am considering developing my throwing skill, and chucking 'nades. Good way to get some kills and experience, apparently.

All in all, I am VERY pleased with this game..as I suck at shooters, especially PvP shooters. This scratches the itch I have...running a tactical squad, and shooting the bad guys.

I haven't touched it for a while, guess its time to get back in..

I looked at it when it first came out, and there were ... issues. I decided to ignore it, and ran across it quite by accident here recently. I have MANY games that I purchased in early access that I gave up on..and I suspect more than a few folks did the same thing with this one.

I just defeated a moderate sized Terrorist platoon, and got enough money and material to purchase a sweet 4x scope, to go along with an even sweeter rifle. ALL my upgrade points have been going into my rifle skill, and I'm dropping the bad guys like flies. You still get money and exp if your squad wins a battle, about 100 personal xp...but I am getting 100+ for EACH personal kill now, and leveling is vastly faster.

AMAZING game. Very slow start, like Mount and Blade...but already I have had some pretty good successes, with plenty more to come. I can easily see my little 12-person army doubling in just an hour or two more gameplay, and then becoming a real force.

Good to hear you're liking the game. It is a lot of fun. Wait until you do indeed build up your force. You'll be unstoppable as long as you don't get reckless.

I played Mount and Blade for many hours. You're exactly correct. One over-reach, and you're starting over.

This game appears to be much more forgiving.

Been really digging this game. Thanks to fellow groggies for suggesting it. I'd had my eye on it for ages wondering if it was any good, and damn does it deliver!

Yeah, this game is definitely more forgiving than MNB. On the one hand, I kind of like that dying at the beginning of a battle doesn't just wipe out your whole army. I wonder how much of that they plan on changing by the end of EA.

I have 21 peeps on my little army, and I have two of the best weapons in the game. One sniper rifle, and one assault rifle. My rifle shooting skill is 100 out of 100, and I have a 6x scope.

I suck at shooters...I really do. But, in this game, I do just fine. During the deployment phase, I simply haul ass to the highest ground in the area, go prone, and start banging away. All my forces are wearing the highest possible armor, as am I.

When I lose the odd soldier, I will recruit the best one I can find. I look for tough battles, as I can get 100k money, or more, per fight.

I am pretty close to start taking over cities. It's a pretty big step, but the looters and bandits running around will eventually not provide sufficient resources to fund my army. Already, costs are getting pretty high...and that is with just 3 teams of seven each.
