sorry, but i'm just starting the registered game. how do you quick enter a new game without the dialogs? is it a shell for the loading itself, or can the lag-time be eliminated? -- i couldn't find a key-press ( as in total war games ) to bypass the loading screens. also, is there a key for game-speed?

thank you.

thanks, jim. when i've used 'escape' it's taken me to the game, but there's an help overlay that prevents me from entering the city? and, i sort of dick around with the keys and stuff and eventually the game begins? but, i haven't a clue how to get around that helpless feeling of being locked out by helpful. : )

Sorry, there's currently no way around clicking through those first few camera tutorials to enter the city.

most bazaar: many things to see, nothing to want.

don't some other games and apps have a box of tips at start and which can be selected to not show again at start-up?


Deciding whether or not to make the opening tutorials compulsory was a controversial issue here in the office, but in the end we decided that players wouldn't be able to enjoy the game unless they knew how to control the camera and command their units. To keep everybody happy, we made these tutorials as short as possible: if you follow the instructions, you can complete these tutorials in a few seconds, and these are the only compulsory tutorials in the whole game.

As far as load times, there was a trade off to be made here. Hegemony has one long load time at the start of the game, but absolutely zero load screens after that. Unlike Total War, Hegemony is completely seamless, and you won't see a single load screen once you've started playing.
