General Discussions

I vote for this game to be green flagged again, thanks Jaks!

@ somekid969 & @ B4Marc

We looked at ACS about 2 pages back. This is what's up:

I spoke with Pwiz about ACS and he talked with Caliber. It was retired due to it having so many anti-cheats in the game. CH doesn't want to reactivate it again because keeping it working with all the scans and anti-cheats running was taking the Programmers far too long and keeping them away from all the other new games and updates they have to do. It's a shame game Devs do all that with a single player game.

I will have to add AC Syndicate to the Not-Eligible list after I clear up a couple of things.

Sorry guys. Thanks.

@Jaks

That's inaccurate: Caliber retired any further updates for the Uplay/EPIC version of the game as the Steam version still works and didn't get the latest game update which broke almost any trainer/table out there.

But AC: Syndicate EPIC version (likely covers the original Uplay too) is up for vote on the request list for only 100K credits. -> Link

You'll have to take that up with them, Taurus, that was the gist of what I was told by Pwiz after he discussed it with Caliber. He told me specifically that with all the anti-cheats in the game, the current trainer won't get any further updates and will have to stay retired. Certainly if the new trainer request for EPIC gets approved and if they decide to keep a Steam trainer active then there will be multiple distributions for the game going forward.

EDIT: I just heard back from Caliber and he said the game does have a million anti- cheat triggers in it, which is the main reason for retiring the game and it didn't sound like he was going to make a trainer for the EPIC version either.

Post Edit: The EPIC Store version Request has been removed. The game is Permanently Retired.

Yep, thanks for the info Jaks and Taurusplopp!
It's a shame, those devs must have brain corruption to think they'll make more cash by limiting the playability of their games...duh!

I vote for Empire at War on steam, I just feel like if Forces of Corruption can get updated, then I feel like the base game should as well

@ blackhammer9712

Ok, here's the deal. Caliber has been retiring some problematic games that are 3 years old. He's not going to unretire this one that's 10 years old and already retired. But, that said, there may still be hope for you. Here are parts of a convo between me and Loki, a friend of mine here. See if this might help you:
------------------------------------------
Loki) The Gold pack has two games in one, it has empire at war, and if you right click on the title in Steam you will see a option in the drop down called Forces of Corruption. The newest trainer for the Gold pack is exclusively for Forces of Corruption, if you play the base game, which is just Empires At War, go here and use the 1.05 trainer at the top. This one will work for the base game without the expansion pack.

Link

Now the base game has a completely different story than Forces of Corruption. They are basically two different games that can't be played together in one build, its confusing I know, but if playing Forces of Corruption use the newest trainer for that, if playing the original Empire at War use the 1.05 trainer in the link I sent above.
-------
Me) Ok, so if playing the Gold Pack Base game, use the retired trainer. If playing the Gold Pack Forces of Corruption, use the newest active trainer?
-------
Loki) Yep, you got it.

I would play the base game if you want to see the story, it's ok but the real gem of FOC is the Galactic Conquest Mode. The entire Galaxy is unlocked, all factions and tech levels are available, and a few missions but no story. If you like making your own game as you go along, this is really sweet.

@ blackhammer9712

So, there you go. I never did get to play the games so the above is the only info I have. Anyway, good luck, I hope this info is still accurate and will be helpful to you. Thanks.

@ blackhammer9712

If you could let me know if that still works, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
