I think I like your suggestions, but I'm not sure since the text disappears to the right You're definetly right on 'attention indicators'. Every RTS worth its salt has an audio & visual alert (StarCraft: *beepbeep* Our units are under attack) when your units get attacked and it's crucial so you can react quickly. Having steamlined u
Found this quiz and I like quizzes so let's do it! I've never watched Doctor Who but the villains sound interesting. As The Silence, you sometimes find it kind of hard to find a date for Friday night since everyone you ask keeps forgetting where they're supposed to meet you. But on the plus side, people al
While Age of Wonders & Master of Magic made spellcasters have their own manapools, we shouldn't do it like those games did something just because. I completely disregard realism as well. The system that should be used is the one that is best for gameplay. I trust Derek to make the right decision.
Nope, I'm not proficient with youtube but I plan to make it one day.
I know you are new here so I'll inform you on how things work. 1. Elemental is the (don't know how to say it) overlapping name just like Might & Magic part in Might & Magic: Heroes VI is. It's there so we know which universe the game is in. 2. Brad said once that the difference between a Druid and a Vampire is "graphics and stats"
[quote who="ghostwes" reply="605" id="2988014"]So apparently my pretender died in the missing turn. Not even sure how that is possible. Oh well, game is pretty much a write off now.[/quote] Man, that has to SUCK ! If such a thing happened to me I would stare at the screen quietly for 5 seconds and then scream, piss & moan for an hour so I'd get suspended from the forums or atleast get a PM fr
First thing I thought about when I read the journal (on the journalpage) I thought you talked from memory due to me not seeing the things you were talking about as they're not visible there. About the strategic spellcasting. As another poster said, when you have casted the spell, have the camera zoom in to the caster like in Heroes V so you can see him cast the spell. Would be cool. I don't got much to say. Can't find any errors. Maybe make the "atta
[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="13" id="2986270"] it was meant to be something else, something alongside DoW3, most probably either HW3 or Company of Heroes 2 (more likely option, but i would prefer HW3 - obviously). There was a big thread on this on the Gamereplays COH message boards. Still, as it did not happen in the end, we can only speculate.[/quote] Since Company of Heroes didn't sell that well and Company of Heroes Online had to shut d
Eventhough I look forward to conventions I find I don't follow them much....I read on one or two sites but that's it....don't even follow BlizzCon anymore! Only game on top of my head I hoped to see were Dawn of War III. Can't think of anything else.
I would wait until very close til the game comes out and then decide. I got a Corsair 620W 80+ and I'm on my 2nd GPU for it now. Even a powerful gamingrig with one card do not use that much power. 620W is enough unless you go SLI/CroffFire. Be sure to check the PCI-E cables for the extra powerneed. i7-2600K is the best for reasonable money today. But don't worry. Every hardwaresite worth their salt (that wants people

....fleshing out Tactical Combat to make it as good as Age of Wonders!
He wants Fog of War I agree though. There was FoW in Age of Wonders and it worked great. Keep a unit close and you see things. Go away and no vision for you!
If there's 15 guys on the team and everybody got 3000$/month (7SEK = 1$) then 1 month of development on Fallen Enchantress costs 45.000$. 5 months of developertime (5 x 45.000) is 235.000$. 10 months of developertime (10 x 45.000) is 450.000$.

You're exaggerating doc. I haven't seen this but I would participate in a testgroup if I got payed for it. Sounds exciting actually
Yeah well, they've expanded

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="25" id="2983715"]My dreams are simple but not sure what will be possible: 1. Line of sight. 2. Line of Fire. (obstacles) 3. Meaningful terrain I'd love to write an AI to handle this stuff. But you'd be surprised how hard it is to code these things that work well on older machines at the resolutions we want today. If anyone here is running 32-bit Windows still, please stop. You're ruining
New forum! Yeah Sounds great Brad!
Something you should all be aware of, is that Square-Enix put strict terms on reviewers. That resulted in GameReactor (a free gamesmagazine I read sometimes) not reviewing it! <a href="http://translate.google.se/translate?hl=sv&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&sl=sv&tl=en&u=http://www.gamereactor.se/brev/166701/Deus%2BEx%253A%2BHuman%2BRevolution,%2Bn%25E4r%253F/
The wording in the article is wrong. He means "The age of the desktop PC". In that case, it's true. But if we mean PCs as in Personal Computer then he's completely wrong.
No
[quote quoting="post"] I can’t go into much detail regarding it other than to say it that it is much more similar to a Civilization/Master of Magic style strategy game versus a Galactic Civilizations/HOMM style strategy game (i.e. every tile of terrain matters i.e. building near rivers or forests or hills and that kind of thing will matter and there are things like unrest and tax rates and that kind of thing).
