Decent interview but I didn't learn anything interesting. IronKaiser I love story but that one detail is too minor to be interesting. Some of the guys over at RPS have grand entitlement problems.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="25" id="2946088"] You won't get very far on WinCustomize by advocating piracy and a backed up game is not the same as a pirated one. I can assure you that starkers will be the last person in the world who would agree about what you said about software piracy. TWhile it might suit your sense of (and incorrect definition of) "justice", your equating hackers with Robin of Locksley is way off base: They are nothing but criminals
I think these types of things are cool. Breaking the system AND getting away with it [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Sony messes with people by invalidating their pirated/backuped games and what Starkers said so Sony getting punished for it is gleefully delighting (don't know any other way to say it in english). Aeligos , I like your posts. Deep and thoughtprovoking [e digicons]:)[/e]
The German chancellor have made one of the dumbest decisions in modern times. Angela Merkel of the German treehuggerparty environmentalists will shut down ALL of Germanys nuclear powerplants to 2020! Another bad thing? She pulled that stunt to be able to stay in power ! One of the worst examples of
For the expanding worlds issue, play on a bigger map! Another solution is to implement Victory Points like in Company of Heroes. I tell ya, Victory Points are one of the best things to happen to the RTS genre ever! Now I'm just waiting for the TBS genre to get them as well.
I must be in a minority cause I don't care much about succession & diplomacy. I want it arcadey like Master of Magic where you can't abuse the A.I like you can in Age of Wonders. Houserules shouldn't be needed for main features. I feel like people get so attached to a cool gamemechanic and when it showed to be basic, unbalanced and not just developed enough people complain. Then the feature gets removed and people complain even more.... I get the
After thinking about it a bit more, I want something that integrates with Steam (hours spent on it and as much other things as possible).
Sounds great! Monsterlairs Have you considered making monsters in both lairs and the world grow every week like in HoMM ? It's exciting to see a stack on Week 1 Day 7 being lots and the next day they're a horde . (Not even mentioning a Swarm turning into Zounds [e digicons]:S[/e] ) What d
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="28" id="2944507"] I just didn't think (And still am not convinced) you could deliver a 2010 title with MOM features and have it be accepted (think carefully about MOM with a game reviewer eye and an objective look free of nostalgia).[/quote] I recently played Death Really which they remastered for Windows 7 and you may be right here since it's so "locked" gameplay wise and once you've played it through once there's only two other diffic
I agree with your reasoning Derek, but a setting in the options could fix that. What screensize are you talking about? Lowest common denonimator..? I think everybody today use atleast 1920x1080 for their desktops like I do.
Heard of these X games but never played them. Too many good games to care about games with tough userinterfaces.
So little of the players posting. From my reading the PBEM games of Age of Wonders over at Heavengames, I had expected everybody to post after every turn like you're forced to do there. Not that everybody wants to type 20 sentences of roleplaying though. But I had definetly expected Lord Xia to post after every turn AND use Deathmagic [e digicons];)[/e] So far, Kamamura wins the "Active Roleplayer award" [e digicons]k1[/e] Why do
[quote who="Tridus" reply="25" id="2943218"] Quoting JohnnyMathis, reply 23A "Rich, single -player campaign with many hours of gameplay" is exactly why I bought this game. And here I read it's a glorified tutorial or an incomlete campaign. Farnkly I'm furious. This was $50 that I could have spent on DS games for my kids. And if this campaign mode is a tutorial, it's a lousy one with many long awkward moments of directionlessness. I have been ripped off. Unbelieveab
Magic Path is the spellbooks in Master of Magic Spellschool can be teched up like in Elemental Seems interesting. I tried the Dom II demo a long time ago and the presentation & interface was probably the worst I have ever seen. It's like they don't care one bit if people buy the game or not.
It's the theoryguy with some more questions. I've read a bit more about Dom III and I wonder, do you choose your magicpath and spellschool before starting the game like you choose race and spellschool(s) in Age of Wonders Shadow Magic or is it another way? Currently reading about all the Dom III spells and there is A LOT! Too many it seems....
[quote who="unacomn" reply="1" id="2942959"]Reminds me of the time I had to do 84 daily shows a month. I was not a happy camper.

Don't know. I'll see what happens.
I support the decision to focus on the three important things. Dynasties definletly sounds like an extra to me.
[quote who="StevenAus" reply="9" id="2940007"]Exactly. You don't get female gamers saying "Is he cute" to all the male developers, so it shouldn't be the other way around either, regardless of which group is in the majority. Best regards, Steven.[/quote] Why not? What's wrong with that? Saying that makes you look (in my eyes at least) as a feminine guy. Crazy has t
Is the type of troops you can build divided in tiers like in Heroes of Might & Magic V where you must buy every creaturedwelling or like Company of Heroes where one building gives access to some troops and another building another set of troops (Weapons Support Center = MG42, Mortars and Snipers | Tank Depot = M10 Tank Destroyer, Sherman Crocodile and Sherman M4) ?

Speaking about The Pirate Bay, I was in school (computer technician fake education) and the whole class followed the trial on the newspapers sites and when I mentioned that I support the actions against TPB some answered like: "What?? Why would you want the TPB locked down??" Me: "I think PC gaming will be killed or become severely crippled if the warezing doesn't stop." Can't remember the rest of the conversation but other times I've had that discussion they ALWAY
Just wanna barge in and say that I really enjoy reading these PBEM games. I used to follow some Age of Wonders games on Heavengames and it was fun to follow. But there I knew how the maps looked. Can any of you post a map and with the capitals? Edit things out if necessary. I've only played the demo of Dominions II for 1min or so. Was in the menus a long time listening to that wonderful music.</p
Besides, the mods need to do SOMETHING once in a while to earn their badges
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="16" id="2938576"]There is the freedom of choice. Nobody forced those people to go and kill themselves. Why didn't they just quit?[/quote] I'd guess hopelessness. If they quitted then they would be unemployed and who knows how the welfare system is down there?
