My answers will differ from others because I have only really played Age of Wonders AoW II AoW II: Shadow Magic Heroes II Heroes III Heroes V [quote quoting="post"] Greetings! Today I would like to ask you guys some questions about strategy games. 1. What specific features of diplomacy do you traditionally like the most? I want you to be as specific as you can be. Which parts
[quote who="Illauna" reply="15" id="3493262"] My worst year I spent $5,000, prior to getting married of course and part of that budget was on a new gaming rig. It was also the first year that I really tracked my expenses. The following year I made *changes* . Otherwise, it's anywhere from 500-1500 / year. Steam and MMOs have beena big help in cutting costs. As well as Stardock giving away free games [e digicons]:D[/e] . [/quote] <p
I don't understand. There's turtle but no toad which would mean no homemachine [e digicons]o_O[/e]
[quote who="Alstein" reply="158" id="3493121"] The long wait times between turns won't change due to 32-bit game.. [/quote] I actually thought it was a 64-bit game as it was privately funded by Markus 'Notch' Persson. Disappointment! [quote who="ten9" reply="159" id="3493125"] What's especially interesting is the changes that should make strategic gameplay and dimplomacy a lot more interesting. The seals

Very basic and short. I expected AT LEAST two A4 pages of details about spells, combatmechanics, proven strategies and more :) You're gonna do videoseries about WoM ? Was funny when you said: " It's better than the information I received a month ago (i.e. nothing), but I have no idea how tough werewolves are. " <--- Said 9th Sep 2014 by X<span style="text-decorat
I hear a lot of crap about the current guy in power but this I didn't think they'd use money on. " Indiana University is receiving nearly $1 million in federal grant money to investigate the genesis, spread, and demise of Internet memes.

Broad estimate of 40 euro per year. Only Steamsales.
[quote who="1MrPaul1" reply="10" id="3492376"] Yeah, this is not easy to decide, earn money or works free and invest in future. I'm also balancing now, from one hand - very need money, from other, I understand that if I do not make something for my future, my future can became very sad. As sad as if I lost 1% from "MadMax" profits, there is nothing more bad than live in regrets. [/quote] Totally agree. Like this poem: " Bette
GOD I despise those social justice warrios! They weren't around in the 80'ies or 90'ies and we DON'T need'em now either! I know why they've come to gaming now though. It's no longer a niche thing but a mainstream thing, thus the politically correct apparently must invade this area as well....and they won't stop until everything is decadent and supportive of their biologycorrupting beliefs! When I start my YouTube channel I may mention the
I've never really thought about this but you may be right. It's another reason I dislike social media. If you say the "wrong" thing or is politically incorrect, a witchhunt starts for you.... If someone wishes you ill, and owns some media and/or has some influence then it may be hard to clear your name. I'm gonna start a YouTube channel joking around and stuff. I definetly see how people will willify me but I'm just
This reminds me that the gamingsite I always went to, started posting about politics (and I totally disagree with their views) and now I visit them with adblock on so they don't get a red cent in adrevenue. Don't want to support them anymore. I can understand guys who have something to lose like yourself. Have to say the correct things or some gamingjournalist might paint you in a bad light. That's what I like being completely unknown in gaming circles. I ca
Steam has a Microsoft sale from 28 Aug - 1 Sep with games like Age of Empires II, Age of Mythology, Rise of Nations and some unknown games.
I really like these updates. Keep'em coming :) [quote who="Heavenfall" reply="28" id="3489988"] We need a proper fantasy RTS though. What did we last have that was decent? Warcraft 3:FT? Frogboy was talking about making a game with similar visuals to what we saw in the lotr helm's deep fight. That's where my bet is. Dream would be a Shogun2-esque fantasy game that didn't suck like Arthur: the wargame. [/quote] </p
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="4" id="3488513"] 71%. Fuck y'all. [/quote] LOL! I got 71% as well [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Failed on some stupid questions like how many guys are in congress, when do you have to leave in your tax papers, something about legislative branch....
Seems the Chinese government have embraced cyber warfare. Well, when Taiwans computersystems goes down we know who to blame [e digicons]:P[/e] About user priviligies. I was a computertechnician student and the townships computernetwork had a goddamn filter so we couldn't get to gamesites (and other sites). The filter was only active for all the computers belonging to the township so with your own computer at home you could do whatever you wanted
[quote who="Ryat" reply="5" id="3487491"] I remember when there was an article about the first PCs to need fans. [/quote] That must have been the last millenia like 1999 or so?
I've only seen the Cynical Brit play a bit while talking about something else and it looks good. As you said, new ideas in a genre that has stagnated in "musts" which some hardcore MOBA players want like three lanes, jungling and such. I have faith in Blizzard as I've always had.
Toms Hardware is good :)
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="3" id="3485552"] Yay bodypart-specific item locations! [/quote] Which was in Heroes of Might & Magic III which came out in 1999 [e digicons]:D[/e] But really, whatever works best.
First thing I wonder is WHY didn't they create this "rightbrained" computer a long time ago? Second thing I thought is that Brad should contact them to get the best A.I possible in his games [e digicons]:grin:[/e] We're so early into it that when I hear people seriously talking about SkyNet and stuff I think: Fearmongering. It's definetly interesting.

Cool. But the human brain has 100 billion neurons so if the neurons are important then IBMs brainchip is severely lacking.
DAMN impressive! I've always viewed Blizzard as the KINGS of PC gaming and Stardock as "The little company that could" with a gamer at its helm. Stardock hiring Blizzards best networkguy is a major win! charon2112, Dude, for fucks sake, read what the whole thing is about....
