Actually it is a slow game. Don't expect something like a modern RTS in terms of speed. Think of it more like a lagging RTS or something. If you have ever played Command and Conquer Generals multiplayer and how in some games it sloooooows down a lot, that is the normal speed of the game, or at least the speed of the animation of it. It has nothing to do with DOSBox (which is a fine program) or whatever. Do increase the cycles of DOSBox though...

Still, if you think that it is a fery fast game, you might want to try UMS I and II. They are even slower. :-p

ho i followed some of the steps about hidden systemf iles well now i cant extract the sound please help :help: :not_ok:

in order for me to get it to work, i had to run the install.exe in dosbox.. everything went pretty smooth through there just a little slow...

it always says cant extract ai.dat please help.

AI here is too dumb.
You can move all your forces excluding horse artillery at the bottom of the battlefield. Than you whipe out his army with them - becase he doesn't counter attack.

How to move the army in to the building? I have seen some of building were occupied by army inside but I don't know how to do so...
This game is really fun. The system and graphic are not so old for old RTS to play to day. In deed, it's great one for me who love napoleonic type war game. :ok:

Hiya, I was having the same trouble installing this game on my XP system. I solved it by moving the download (in its Fields of Glory folder) to my root directory on drive C, ie. so it wasnt in any other folders. Then when I ran the installe program it installed it with no problems at all :D

All I have to figure out now is how to run it :)

my Step-by-Step-Guide for anyone with install-problems

1. Extract the Archive to the Folder "Fields of Glory"
2. change the foldername to "foginst"
3. open dosbox and enter "foginst" and screw up the CPU-cycles
4. type attrib -h to remove the hidden-flag from all files
5. execute install.exe
6. choose the big install
7. when you come to choosing path do not install into "foginst" as this will cripple the installation and thus it won't work.
8. wait for the installation to complete (it takes a while)
9. after the installation change into the game-dir and execute fog.bat this will execute the sound-setup
10. choose Soundblaster 220 / 7 / 1
11. if the Game runs too slow screw up the CPU cycles once more [CTRL] + F12

I remember it being slow back when I played it on my 486.

Select the unit, then click the building, many times thay will no enter but it is the only way that it works
