Yeah, but there is also a skirmish in case you are tired of the playing the plot. [/QUOTE]Hm.. well, the relation between AOWI and II is a bit thin to say the least. Seeing as it takes place on the other side of the ocean. In AOW II, you play a Human Wizard who is evacuating his people from the original conflict zone, then gets drawn into a new war.

I really haven't played the second one all that much, but I don't think so. The only time the first part is brought up (for a brief moment) is in the intro movie. Well, as far as I know anyway Its definately not like playing BGII before having tried the first game.

You can set your peices on guard.

In real human games ( which Ive never finished and I dont think they ever do finish) you would have to do that otherwise no one would want to finish their turns.

Not a bug actually an innovative feature.

The biggest improvement over aow 2 is that it can make random maps for you, a la civilization. So it has endless replay value.

You won't have to pay much for AoW1 nowadays, and it's great. The campaign is, IMO, much better than the one in AoW2... either way, if you're getting AoW2, make sure you get Shadow Magic (stand-alone expansion), and not ordinary AoW2... AoW:SM gotses random map generator, new races, toolset for modding'n such [img]smile.gif[/img] (haven't gotten it yet meself yet (have preordered it), dunno 'bout the campaign... seems better than the one in AoW2).

it's out already? when? any different from the first one?

[RoSs_bg2_rox]

I dont know if its any good because as you can probably tell from my posts i havent played it yet. But i can tell you that it is out and has been for sometime. At least a couple of months i think!

Which one? AOW2 or AOW:SM? Both were already released:

• AOW2 was released on June 10 2002
• AOW:SM was released on July 25 2003

[img]graemlins/offtopic.gif[/img] Btw, whats the answer to my problem? Is it a bug or not?

Might very well not be a bug... haven't played simultanous mode since AoW1, but there, when your turn had ended, one could click the end-turn button again to be able to move units again, would make sense that the computer would do so when some enemy arrives within range.
