Reply to BIG REMINDER: GalCiv III requires 64-bit in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

[quote quoting="post"] In the case of GalCiv III, it is natively 64-bit. That means no 32-bit version. You must have a 64-bit version of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 (most people these days do but not everyone). So before you join up, make sure you actually are running a 64-bit version of Windows. [/quote] You may want to update this post as I am running 64 bit Vista and searched the GalCiv3 forums before I bought GalCiv3 to see if I

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="38" id="3285899"] As great as that sounds.. its not as if the gaming industry is an island. These attitudes etc are things that permeate society. That certainly doesn't justify it, but does allude to the larger issue that no amount of changes in the game industry itself are going to solve. I mean its all great to discuss a perfect world, but "reality bites" and the game industry does, and will continue to reflect the society it belongs to. <br /

[quote who="taltamir" reply="42" id="3280698"] AoW Shadow magic is the worst AoW ever made. It was actually bad. AoW2 is best followed by AoW1 [/quote] Correct me if I'm wrong but AoW:SM was a stand alone sequel to AoW2 that was just AoW2 with bug fixes, a third plane, new units, and a new campain. Why did you dislike AoW:SM and think AoW was better? Sammual

Warlock: Armageddon DLC in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

If anyone has Warlock but is no longer challenged by the game try the Armageddon DLC. The new game mode will force you to react to events. You just can't brute force your way through with only 4 tricked out units. You have to defend your cities and help the AI deal with the new invaders unless you want to be swampped by waves of units each more powerfull then your greatest hero. A few hints on the new game mode. 1) Help the AI with Gates t

[quote who="Ben Yeoh" reply="11" id="3272432"]I don't think you can sweep the opinions of the majority under the rug and argue that it's all just "nostalgia". Yes it had horrible AI and many bugs. But it certainly got a lot of other things right that FE can learn from so it's certainly reasonable to compare. Some truths to consider: 1. The game despite the issues had fans who bothered to set up tribute pages that can be seen to this day and who bothered to ma

[quote]Master of Magic is good, but not great. [/quote] Agreed. MoM is good. MoM was great in it's day. That day is long past. [quote]The system that MoM set up was great: cities, troops, heroes, spells, items, etc. Building the next level X to get the better unit was fun. Finding the great hero was fun. Creating that sword you really need was particularly awesome IMHO. In addition, I found that the subsystems all worked together very well. Fur

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="21" id="3231114"]The biggest UI bugaboo I have with FE right now is how hard it is to get rid of city enchantments and unit enchantments.

Add a border around the name of each enchantment on the Unit / City details screen with a little X icon in the upper right of the border.

[quote who="C0LDsteel" reply="100" id="3145060"] Although it's fun and I'm certainly buying it, MoM-like it ain't. It's been simplified too much to bear much resemblance to other 4x games of this ilk like AoW or MoM (or FE for that matter).[/quote] I agree that they stripped it down to the bone but I believe it is still very MoM-like.

There is a demo out. Try it. If you liked Master of Magic, Civ V, or the FE Beta it will be worth your time to play the demo even if you decide not to spend $19.99 on the game.

Reply to I murdered our retail plans today in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote quoting="post"]Sorry gang, I decided to not allow our next two titles to be available at retail (Sins rebellion and Fallen Enchantress). The cost/benefit ratio just isn’t there at this time. It is cool to tell people your game is at the store. But as a business, until the retailers adapt, it doesn’t make sense to deal with them at this point. [/quote] PC Game Retail is currently a joke.

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="32" id="3122929"]I own Civ5, like it, and think 1UPT is a interesting system that adds a lot of strategy. That said Civ5 has a lot of flaws. 1. Plainly ridiculously bad tactical AI. 2. Bad Pacing. 3. It's way to hard to conquer cities. 4. It's way to easy to city spam 5. It's broken on a competitive level. This site chronicles the problems that competitive players have well. [/quote

My combat options are determined like this; Step 1 - Rank the enemy units by threat (How much damage they can do to any of my units that will be in range when they get an action). Step 2 - Can the current unit kill the highest Ranked enemy? Loop through the whole threat list until I get a yes or get to the end. If I get a Yes, kill that unit. Step 3 - Can the current unit cast an AoE spell? - AoE them. Step 4 - Can the cur

Reply to [Bug/Spells] Spells with casting time occasionally fail to cast in FE Support Elemental Forums

I figured this one out today. Your whole army can only have 1 spell being cast at a time. If the unit casting the spell is hit, it is canceled. If another unit casts a spell with a charge time both spells are canceled.
