I tried it on my desktop, it said that I need to free up 1.3GB of space on my hardrive to install it, which is ludicrous.
I tried it ony my laptop, which has a switchable A:/D: drives. For some reason, it won't recognize the fact that the D: drive is in there now and still says A: drive.

1). What's the problem regarding your desktop, exactly? 2). Dive into the BIOS of your laptop and 'flip the switch'.

Problem solved for the most part. Even though I shouldn't have had to, I deleted some shit on my harddrive and got it working.
As for my laptop, I'm a little hesitant about tinkering with the BIOS of my laptop which has been bugging up lately as is.

1.3GB damn that's big. What happened to games just being a couple hundred megabytes.
Then again, I have a 40GB harddrive so 1.3 is nothing.

Guess that took up more than 1 CD then huh? Oh yeah, and guess that if I want Armada II, then I'll have to go for that upgrade soon after my degree studies are done.
1.3 GB - God damn that's a biggen!!!!

1.3 gigs? That's the equivalent of 'small change' to me.
Armada's size may seem huge, but it isn't that unusual anymore. The game, BTW, also utilizes some hefty compression techniques - it fits (and ships) on a single CD.

Yes, one disc.
I got it working, guess I freed up enough space, but it runs very jumpy.
Meh.

Specification requirenments for games go up all the time. This is not new or shocking.
What's the spec on your PC OnToMars? Armada II is a new game, so if your computer is a couple of years old, it's not surprising it's struggling. I've only got a 6 gig hard drive in my computer, and once I've worked over Christmas, I'm going to stick in a bigger one. 40 gigs are only about �60 nowadays.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
