I too am having the same problem.

I installed the game successfully but I am having difficulty viewing the game.
In particular, when I am playing the game, the terrain does not clear up from darkness when I explore the map. All that I can see are my units, villages, and animals. However, I loaded the American Revolution scenario and I am able to see all terrain features.

In addition, I noticed that in order to run the game, the computer requires that I use disc 1: the install disc, rather than disc 2: the play disc. When I put disc 2 in the computer to play the game, it tells me that there is an error, and that I must use the proper disc to play

Thus, I am wondering if there is something wrong with the game or if my system is not up to date. Is it there a problem with my video card? I looked at the game's requirements and I do have a NIVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X graphic card. I have 54.6GB of free space on my computer and I have Windows XP with 512 MB of Ram and a Pentium 4 CPU.

I, therefore, believe that I have all of the system requirements. As I result, I would like to know what is wrong. I have un-installed and re-installed the game twice, but to no avail. Would anyone please let me know what I might need to do to see the game?
