Yep, you are correct. I was able to recruit them, but then I didn't have enough leadership to control them; until I lost some other troops. Thanks for the reply. Great game!

Desert Dawg: Yea usually that happens when either you unpack an egg or such that is too large, or you get some friendly troops that join you and put you over the cap. While you can delete the extras, the best way I found was to drop them off at the main castle (you can store up to 3 stacks of troops there and at the knight's guild) and split them into the right size there. This can save you a lot of coin, or allow you to conserve a unit you normally could not replace. Like the time 25 werewolves joined me.

Wait you can store units at the castles ?.. cool.. and werewolves ? .. damn, so far i have only gotten peasants, robbers, priests and royal snakes.

I need play the demo

[ChaosReigns]

When I (try to) start up the demo I get this error message:

This application has failed to start because d3dx9_33.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Unfortunately, re-installation doesn't help at all.

I am having the same problem as calonge-exact same errors. Everything starts fine, game runs ok- I go to enter the first door, and as soon as the load screen finishes, it crashes out. Sometimes I get an error about an invalid call to directx, I'll see if I can get the exact wording again.
Newest directx and everything
Athlon 3000 xp
Asus A7v600 motherboard
Nvidia Geforce Fx 5600 vid card
1GB ram

For anyone who gets the missing d3dx whatevers, go to microsoft's website and install latest directx 9, should fix it

Noticed the blurry npcs and landscape?

But if i zoom in it looks fine.


Don't start with "update drivers" and the likes please i know perfectly what i'm doing.

I've tried every possible config, resolutions, quality, settings in .ini files, force hardware/software graphic options, windowed mode, etc etc.

The game has the last patch and i'm using XP, 1gb ram and radeon x1600.

Nope. Still using that old Geforce 3 card. I guess that our problem is related to old/weak/aging technology videocard.
Or just outdatet drivers that is no longer updated.

Your card is almost as old and outdated as mine.
Maybe it is time to upgrade?

Right now I am looking for a used Radeon HD2600XT at ~ 70$.

Good luck
