Tides of War

I'm a new user, gold addition. Have a few questions

1. Can Dragon NaturallySpeaking be used for voice commands, if so how is this set up?

2. How is the game's voice recognition software opened and closed at will so it's not taking computer resources all the time?

3. Where do battleships exist in the game seen pictured in the forums and on the box?

4. Are there cheat codes for bringing battleships into the game or for other purposes?

5. If there are patches and/or enhancements to the Gold version what are the exact file names and location for them? (The long list of patches and enhancements leave me unsure which one's to install.)

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

1: Im not sure, but you dont need it as the game is using the same core engine as Dragon NS does, namely MS Speech API.

2: The speech software is only used while you are playing, You can press "v" key in game to mute the mike, that would prolly save you a very few mb ram,

3: Battleships are only available once you have complete either the KLM or RNE campaing (sub or surf dont matter).

4: There are no cheat codes in the core game code, cause the core is also being more or less used in the multiplayer code, so to prevent cheats in MP, the developers decided not to put any in the Single Player either.

However there is a "All Access Cheat" (save game where all the missions has been won, see our download section for a link)

5: See same topic as above for this, click on either patch site and locate the "mini gold patch" that will allow you play create and play custon missions.

the voice recognition that comes with the game is preventing use of the microphone on a voice chat program i customarily run. It also hangs up when i attempt to configure it's microphone.

Is there any way to prevent the program from loading when the computer boots up?

Is there any way to close the application?

I finally figured out how to close the game's voice recognition. It turns out Dragon NaturallySpeaking does the voice-recognition job in the game just fine.
