Scramble for Empire

PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT

New game launched to celebrate Agema’s 20th year in business!

Scramble for Empire, Agema’s new game of imperial Victorian era domination, is now available. The rules can are available as either a download or as a book from the publishers. The game runs by turns either sent by email (PBEM) or via the post (PBM), as the player desires. It has been designed to be fun and fairly easy to play and pits players against each other and against local forces in the various colonies: Google Agema or go straight to www.agema.org.uk for more information!


The world, as you can see dear reader, is in utter turmoil, and it's up to chaps such as yourself to put it all right. No good relying on the foreign wallahs, they'll just make bad go to worse. No, you're needed, my boy, so leave the comfort of your London gentleman's club and lead the nation to glory and enlighten the poor misguided natives of the wider world! YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU! Yes, I say, you sir! Yes, you, sitting there! Be a good chap and sign up for this rollicking adventure, and lead your nation to glory and imperial power. You should you know. The Scramble for Empire has begun!

(Please note that this game was developed under the working title Imperial Domination which has however changed to Scramble for Empire. It has been designed to be easy to play, in contrast to our last release Wars of the Roses which is pretty complicated to play!).

Tempted, tempted, tempted...now where's my bank balance

Signed up... the rules! Ready to get busy and what Richard will throw at us with this one.

Oh no you dont....too much to occupy me at the mo but will be interested in feed back from players....

Couldn't stand it... Other than the American Civil War as a isolated period, this era has all my favorites.

Need to clear the schedule and sign up!

Wasn't sure where to put this but...

Since the release of Scramble For Empire, the agema website no longer displays properly under IE7 (at least not on the 2 machines I've tried it on).

Displays ok in Firefox 2 (man, didn't realise they installed such an old version here at work!).

Richard here: checked just now and all appears well on IE7 on our pc's! Firefox fine too... anyone else experience problems looking at the site? As we're not it's a bit difficult for us to fix!!! Another guy reported a problem a few days ago but then checked the site again his end and find it displayed fine, so this is something of an odd mystery. Anyone got any ideas?

Here's hopeing it is just a temporary aberration.... !

I am getting red X's over most of the site, and it makes it very difficult to use

I believe the problem lies in a missing file on the server, namely:

_wp_scripts/blank.gif

This file is certainly not on the server.

HTH

Had, and still do, the same problem here as well Richard. It is the graphics that are loading, and then the x is loading on top of them or obscuring them. It looks as though there are two web pages trying to come up at the same time.

I have the same problem with IE7

yes me too no matter what version of IE I use.

Have just uploaded the entire site after fixing a few possible problems.

Groan, the main problem here is both IE and Firefox display the site perfectly on work computers here!!!

Here's a suggestion... if it doesn't display properly, either try Googling the site (type Agema) and click on Agema and see if that works, or alternatively try hitting 'reload' (Ctrl + R). In the past my computer has loaded the old site after I bookmarked it, but when I reloaded in Firefox the new site appeared instead(!).

It might therefore be a problem if you've visited the site before, for some reason, and the old 'image' of the site is displayed? Dunno. But this is a tad annoying!!

Please let me know if the problem still persists, mucho gracios!

Richard

Its still broken, red X's everywhere (even after trying your suggestions).

http://agema.org.uk/_wp_scripts/blank.gif

is still missing, and causing the red X's. Although why this would affect IE and not Firefox, I do not know...

Yep that file is missing it is causing the red x's every where, it is either not needed, or is missing, I suggest not needed as blank.gif is not a real piccy

Hello everyone! Just deleted the entire website on the server and uploaded it again, which will hopefully finally get around the problem (as of 10th January, at 1 pm).

Please report in to Agema if the problem hasn't gone away for you, thanks. Another post here would do fine! In fact if it does go away please post so we know (Agema office pc still showing everything to be working fine, but Terry/Toppers reckons this is because of files held locally on the machine?).

Thanks for your help, guys!

Sorted Richard all hunky dory now

works for me now

Yes it's ok !

Looks great... If we would leave him alone he would get Game VII back to me.

Hi revvaughan - please see PM from me.

I have responded to your message... Good luck with the choice.

For all who have not signed up for SFE... The game looks very interesting to play and I believe that it will be a hit very quickly.

CRV

Yep, broke down and joined myself. Rules look good and I'm ready to start. This is going to be very interesting.

Welcome to the Scramblers, Nazareth.

Interesting Avatar - what's the background story?

Cheers
