Replying to something VERY long time ago But still...
Yes I know that game, played it, and, indeed, it wakes up some old memories: I used to play that game with a friend of mine long time ago, and now he is 750km away (including an ocean). So, because of this game, I acutally think of hacking some "remote" code into Dosbox - i.e., two players virtually sit on the same console. Just so that we can remember old times ;.) That'll be some nice/stupid/ugly/needless/ hack. Any easier idea how I can share the game with this friend of mine?

WinVNC or something similar should help.

and IF someone should find "Das Erbe des Titan" on the web, please let us know. I actually OWN the game (CD - quite annoying, I wish I had bought the Disk version as it doesn't challenge the CD-ROM all the time), but it's the same 750km away as the afore mentioned friend of mine ;-)[/b]

You can rip it to ISO and run from HDD (DOSBox can mount ISO images like if the were normal drives). Then it shouldn't be hard to find a mutually agreeable way to transfer the ISO to your friend.

Is the game beatable at hardest level if you don't use the advantages of campaign mode (transferring experience) ?

[kmonster]

Already answered the question myself. Finished the campaign at expert level without having to use the campaign bonuses. I expected it to be more difficult.

usefull units:

The scoutlike buggies(not the 2 space shooters), they can capture buildings, ride fast and far and have a good sight. They work best way out off the frontline, use a group of 2 of them to capture buildings all over the map quickly and get out before the enemy has time to react. Annother trick with them is to wait near empty buildings, wait till the comp captures the building and take it right back off him with a little bonus inside.

They off course can do nice things in the frontline too, hide them behind the strong units until its time to strike.

About the game:
The fog of war sight is holy, the computer which is NOT cheating in this game will fight a lot better when he knows where you are, get those long sight units out whenever you can quickly.

The review needs an update. This game has multiplayer capabilities. You can play in hot seat mode or via Network.

Sorry for my bad english. :angel:

Interesting game, but I'm going bloody nuts. I have no idea what is going on besides the obvious. I've yet to figure out exactly what the supply bars mean, in that I can't tell which is good and which is bad. My units are stopping dead for no apparent reason. I lost a fully repaired unit when it attacked a mine, with no explosions going on. Units are disappearing for no apparent reason that I can determine, although I suspect supply has something to do with it. Other units are sitting still and dead. The information screens are giving me a bunch of numbers and disjointed words which mean nothing to me. My advisors come out once in a while and jabber away, giving me no useful information. I'm told to utilize supplies in buildings, but I don't know how. I think my current mission is to attack and conquer a city, but I can't do that with any of the units I have. It's a moot point, anyways, because all of my units are currently dead in the water due to lack of fuel, I'm guessing. A little help, please? The manual would be a slice of heaven.

No supply has nothing to do with dissapearing ... mostly.
If you run out of fuel the unit cannot move (or is it is a plane it is destroyed). If you run out of ammo, the unit cannot fire and it is more vonurable (it cannot backfire).

You have sth. like "show enemy turns/moves" turned on?
Your units are probably dieing because of enemy artillery fire (buggies, ordinary art. or rail). Move your radar closer to see which units the enemy has. Buggies (hit and run) are good for destroying artillery.

[spearor]

Anyone knows where to get the add-on disk/CD? Titan's Legacy it's called, or Das Erbe des Titans in german. I'm looking for a long time now, if you got the original, i want to even buy it from you.

the fuel bar is a horizontal bar on the bottom of the screen, under the horizontal health bar. if you can no longer move your unit it is because of weather conditions affecting the terrain or because you are out of fuel. some units disappear if they are out of fuel long enough like airplanes...

hope that helps

Remember also the ammo - it can be really annoying sometimes...
