About Armies of Exigo

Gamers wage war on dual fronts in this RTS from first-time developer Black Hole Entertainment. Armies of Exigo offers nearly all the contemporary conventions of the RTS style -- a fantasy setting, three distinctly different factions, and online competition for as many as eight players -- but it also offers something relatively innovative to 3D RTS gaming: warfare both above and below ground. On the surface of the land (and in the skies above), battles of swords and sorcery play out in a recognizable fashion, while beneath the earth, armies plan ambushes and mount surprise attacks. Players can choose to lead the humans, the beasts, or the fallen, and the single-player campaign gives them a fair turn at each. Wood, gems, and gold, the game's three main resources, are found both above- and below ground, and each of the three factions has units and abilities to allow its troops to move through either realm. The game's dual battlegrounds pose new challenges even as they suggest new tactics.

    The release works. During installation it will require mounting and remounting disk images. One must know how to do this for their system. For GNU/Linux I first needed to convert disk images to *.iso using `iat` program, then mount them normally with `mount` when installation wizard prompts for it.

    I recommend patching the game to version 1.4 from 1.0b that is offered in this release. Note that patch breaks save files. Hence why I recommend patching before playing.

      The crack for the game is stored in the first disk image. Mount the disk image or unpack it. Open it in the file browser. You should see installation files like Autorun, setup, etc. Among them there will be a directory called “Crack/”. In the directory there is an executable. Overwrite the installed game executable with this one.

    I remember this from beta, I actually asked the devs if the beta would shut down once the game was released. The answer was a hard yes that never really happened, as you could easily bypass the early test versions cd protection without even cracking it and basically had the full game. What was the difference between the beta and the full release? Nothing, they were the same copy with different build stamps. You might even say the released product was worse than the test product.

      WARNING: Do not play the game on Hard mode. Even with cheats you will rage quit on missions where enemy AI can mass summon units. I learn that the hard way. You don’t unlock anything for playing hard. You can change difficulty any time. The mission has a select screen.

    @ everyone Try opening CD 1 and looking for Folder “crack” there. Replace .exe file in ur installation path with the .exe in “crack” on the CD1

    Use powerISO to extract both of the cd files and click “extract here”, then click the setup on cd1 and it should start working for window 10 users
