windows 10 compatibility testing

This classic strategy game designed by Philippe Thibaut allows you to take charge of several of nearly 80 playable nations during the tumultuous and war torn period between 350 and 1066. Success hinges on military might but economic and administrative prudence too. To master Europe and beyond every area of statecraft must be mastered first!

only alter box shown, and enter your serial number, making sure you don't take in any spaces and type or copy paste as is, with the -parts as shown

game worked better for me on very fast pc but tested it on all 5 settings

game works and installs without any issues if guide is fully followed and works full screen on my settings, no idea about 4k, as not tested it as not got the equipment, windows scales without any need to alter the shortcut, but after first load windows will ask if it worked ok, this is normal for old programs and as mine did i said yes so didn't use or need to compatibly wizard.

what doesn't work,

screenshots in game does, but,...

alt tabbing doesn't and won't work, so don't use it, or it may crash the program or cause other errors once you try and get back in etc.

test pc used is a clean install as always, not an upgraded from an older version of any windows even windows 10, it's a clean ISO image so fully new.

as it has a Nvidia driver, i've also followed the correct way to install that, as per my guide

tm.asp?m=4491486

as windows 10 also comes with alot of backward support, i've also disabled and enabled some windows settings again as per my guide, as all are fully windows supported, they won't effect other windows 10 games, but will make it work better for older games.

tm.asp?m=4454024

as i disable the xbox inbuilt gaming function, it's the only part which could make anything that need it not work, so far even windows 10 store games work with it disabled, as it's an option not a pre requisite etc
