I love these posts. I probably spent 2 hours this weekend taking notes.
I'll see about making it an option.
Yes, got rid of unit outlines. Since everything else has outlines I thought it made the units more distinct. Also, we gain a few fps.
I have to say I was totally wrong. I have several kindles now. Love them.
Greetings! This post will occasionally be updated with whatever private build I have on my PC. It's not an official build. Save a backup of your EXE. FE: v1.05FROG (12/6/2012) + All code-based (as opposed to XML) based improvements listed for the unreleased 1.1 PLUS + Massive AI improvements --> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8051911/FE-105frog.zip </p

My guess is LEGENDARY HEROES although I hope I'm wrong. As to the original question, I'm not sure. Certainly not until I get the DLC (extra scenario/campaign chapters) which were promised for Destiny's Embers. I bought the book

Personally, I like DLC. As a gamer that is. I like DLC that are things that wouldn't normally come with the game. I get mad if they feel like things they held back on. DLC should be things that **not** everyone would want. If they are things that everyone would want, then they should be put into the base game or a sequel.
DLC = content Expansions = code If it requires c++ then it's an expansion.
[quote] hey key to all of this negativity is to let it go. Forgive them, independent of what they do. I heard a good statement the other day- "Forgiving doesn't mean forgetting and it doesn't matter the response of the other person. It's your choice to let go of an injustice to you so you can live your life in freedom from it." Move on, though it's tough. There's too much life to live to waste it listening and responding to anger.[/quote] There is
[quote who="seanw3" reply="48" id="3280136"]How about a nice new desert texture? It is not sandy at all. That could be a nice addition for the expansion.[/quote] not without a banding 32 bit. heck, here's the mockup from the original design doc: Now picture that with each race having its own environment and you have a pretty good idea of what we wanted.
There's an early mockup around here somewhere that has the wraiths territory (dead and spooky) up against magnar (burning lands) up against urxen (desert) up,against tarth (magical swampy). we had to choose between unit customization or that. Next time you play a game, COD or HALO make a note of how uniform the environment of a map is.
In WOM, we only had 1 texture for each environment. That's one of the reason the brown and blah colors got so bad. In FE, we have a lot more textures per environment. Since the original design was that each race would get their own environment (i.e. temperate, desert, ice, swamp, vivid, dead, etc.) I think I have the most justification to complain. ;) We have a lot of things fighting for memory. Each unit being a unique instance, hundreds of unique buildings, a
I really REALLY like your idea. I'll pass it on to Derek.
What OS you running? On Windows 8 64-bit it'll work like a charm. :)
Without getting into the "Bland" debate, the reason the environments are limited has to do with the texture limitations on the video cards we required WOM to run on. In the future, we will likely up the hardware requirements in future expansions/follow-ups to allow us to give each race their own unique environments. The minute we drop support for 32-bit versions of Windows, a lot of things change.
Here's what I do: I make the quest a turn triggered quest that launches at turn 5 automatically. Then, once nailed, I turn it into a normal quest.
For those of you who aren experienced modders, much of which follows is just preaching to the choir. But for those of you new to modding, you may find this useful.. As some of you know, FE development was led by modders. Derek Paxton and Jon Shafer are best known for their Civ 4 mods (Fall From Heaven in Derek's case). As for myself, I got my modding start with Civ 1, MOM, Total Annihilation, and so on. My love of Civilization 1 ultimately led to writing Ga
We get occasional emails to support complaining that we need to quit "spamming" updates and instead wait until they're bigger and then release them. It's hard to know how representative that is.
@DR and Reliant We see that kind of thing here. Remember when the Kotaku thing came up and we had people say "You have to understand why people are so angry.." What? No we don't. If someone's threshold of getting "angry" at someone is because they read something on the Internet (and in this case, something so distorted as to have little bearing in reality) then they're just fucked. Like you said, it's pretty much wasted advice because they will never unde
Well, IGN made me a liar. ;) They reviewed FE. http://www.daveramsey.com/article/investing-calculator/lifeandmoney_investing/#/entry_form
[quote who="Burress" reply="110" id="3268306"] There is different in the manner you are talking about, and it gets conflated with a whole other kind of different. The kind of different like where Siegal indulges his Galt fantasies to his employees in the above email. That kind of Ayn Rand inspired ego-nova of the self-perceived ubermensch suggests he sees himself as very different. Lots of people indulge that kind of self-worship. But every last one of them buiit there empires mostly on
