General Questions on SoW

Post by balto »

I am finally considering buying the SOW 150th collection.

I see in many of the older threads problems with; (1) the courier system, and (2) how to move your units to go to differing areas of the map.

Do these weaknesses still exist or have they have been fixed/improved in the 150th Collection?

Thank you in advance.

There have been many improvements with the various patches, especially with the courier system...many folks play with courier orders only.

With the command TC (Take Control), your troops will go anywhere on the map you wish.

RebBugler,

That is a great response. If you have another moment, are these new changes/improvements clarified in the 150th manual?

To be clear, all the SOW releases are up to date with the patches. To see the various change logs they are available at the SOW forum. To the best of my knowledge these changes are not listed in the 150th Ann. manual.

I could not find the Change logs for SOW.

Is the pdf manual updated?

The manual was edited to introduce the 150th edition, otherwise there were no changes or updates that I'm aware of.

Apologies for the change logs, they are spread over the years as the patches were released. They are there, you just have to dig for them.
