I created a new thread, which went fine. Then I tried to create a reply, and the same error occurred. The reply doesn’t show up.

I also tried to make a short, two-word reply in the old thread, and that went fine.
Does the site have anything against my HTML, or something?

[Islander]

Same thing happened again. Should I just create a new thread for Colonization?

[Islander]

Np, it’s getting late here too.

[Islander]

No, there was another comment with full screenshots, in addition to the one with the icons. That’s gone now.

Thanks, the thread is back. But something is still weird.
I edited the screenshots in the thread, and that comment disappeared.
Then I made a new comment with screenshots, and it didn’t show up in the thread.

[Islander]

I edited my thread on Colonization, and the whole topic disappeared!
It’s not in the thread list.

[Islander]

Just saw the comments.

jrmjames, can you start the game normally without the UI?

[Islander]

Does the slowdown occur when entering/exiting the city screen, closing/opening dialogs, etc?

I solved that problem on Linux by changing to

output=overlay

or

output=surface

in the config file.

A Windows user solved it by changing to

output=ddraw

instead.

I haven’t tried Master of Magic on Magic DOSBox yet.

v0.13 legend:

, The tiny compass roses in the top left and right corners, toggle the left and right D-pad, respectively.

Under that is the keyboard toggle.

Under that are the three layout buttons, corresponding to the three main screens in Colonization:

Map
Colony
Europe

If the right layout isn’t shown, tap one of the buttons. Tap another time to hide the layout.

Under that are three buttons that are useful on any screen: Info (F1), Enter, and Unload (u).

The compass rose is an 8-way D-pad. Tapping the centre of it centres on the current unit.

The Unit Order icon pops up a grid with all commands you can give to a unit.
The “zzz” button lets the current unit wait and activates the next unit.
The footsteps button orders the unit to go to a colony (or Europe).

Any other commands can be accessed from the drop-down menus, since they’re not used as often. (Please comment if you think any command is missing from the UI.)

On the Colony and Europe screens, you can move part of a cargo. Click “Split cargo” and drag cargo between the warehouse and transport. The numeric keypad will pop up. Fill in the amount you want to move and press enter on the keypad, or cancel.
