try using EFE.EXE, rather than EFSHYP.EXE, for one turn I have had hangups during the Symbiot move part of the start of a new turn (using Reality mod & Emp Wars, etc with EFSHYP.EXE). Restarting with the original EFS.EXE alowed me to run the next turn. I saved at the end of the turn and then reo...

House Leader Emp Wars 3.2

Can a house leader be defeated? I have been using mapedit to try out various situations and I find that I can not capture scepters from the home planet House Palaces if there is a House Leader in it (e.g., attacking Palace on Aragon). The House Leader defeats all unless the attacking group also has ...

EFS.EXE or EFSHYP.EXE for Emperor Wars - Reality Mod?

Is it better to use the Hyperion version of EFS.EXE (EFSHYP.EXE) for this mod? Thank you.

Movement Queue - how to deactivate?

I have always found the movement queue extremely irritating. Often, after giving a unit an order, you will be taken far away from its location to distant hexes - other planets, etc. Is there anyway to turn this off? Thank you.

running in windowed mode --- how can the window be made larger or fullscreen? The alt-enter command has no effect. Thank you.

yes - i copied the EFS folder and did the Reality & Emperor mod changes to it. Both its EFS & Hyperion executables work. The game does open more slowly (length of blank screen duration) than it did on my XP computer. I tried different compatibilities but the results were similar. But - I can...

Thank you very much - it worked for EFS and for the Nova mod as well. It did not work for the Reality mod so I'll have to create a new reality folder - hopefully, it'll go okay.

The reg file didn't automatically load into the registry - I had to enter it manually and think I did it correctly

Windows 7 - getting rid of "no CD" endless loop?

On Windows 7, I used the Underdogs Self-installing version patched to 1.4. It installed and I could play the game once. On the second try, I get into an endless" looking for Cd ...\devices\harddisk3\DR3...." message and i have to do a power-off shutdown to get out of it. Is there a way to ...

number for specific technology?

In the Technology table (TECH.DAT), I see code numbers for required techs but not for the actual technology. For example, in vanilla EFS, the techs needed for "Cyberpilot" are 12, 24, and 56. However, I don't see any code number for Cyberpilot itself. Does anyone know where this can be fou...

galaxy.gal - use in different mod?

I was curious to see what the Galaxy.gal from the Reality Emperor Wars mod would look like in Nova - but it seems that it won't run. That is, i get a blank screen partway through the opening choices when I run Nova. Is there a way to get the Galaxy.gal from Emperor to run in Nova? Thank you.

Thank you. I did this and it worked. I do have another question. I like the opening screen wallpaper for "vanilla" EFS" and wonder how to replace the Reality Mod wallpaper in the opening screen with this. Is there a file from EFS that I can use to replace the Reality file for this? Th...
