As I want to compete in the metaverse and post topscores, A.I modding is not interesting to me. I hope that Stardock makes it so people can't edit the A.I and then abuse it in the metaverse.
[quote who="Climber" reply="220" id="2631219"] Quoting Climber, reply 107Combat Speed... Morale Hopefully, the mechanics that govern its change will be realistic. An archer that runs of ammo, or discover their arrow cannot pierce opponent's exotic armor should have their morale dropped quickly. Morale of individual stacks should persist many game turns, until it returns back to its normal level. Conditions like fatigue, killing a dragon/heor/sov, g
MAN this topic grew fast! Everybody and their pet wants to give advice (or dictate rather....). I say you as gamedesigners need to make the calls even if everybody wants you to go a different route in some area since you knows what works and don't. I've also found myself to make bad suggestions...sometimes I was stubborn and sometimes I THOUGHT I knew how the game worked.... Retreating</str
I'm glad our input improved the game [e digicons]:)[/e] TACTICAL COMBAT I'm not sure how to do it the right way since every TBS is different and thus require different rules, but I firmly believe that the attacker must get the first move. About "my side moves first" vs "speed decides who moves first" I don't know what's best....I'm not gonna pretend that I know what's best. Consider

[quote who="TCores" reply="7" id="2627286"] What are you trying to say here? That this player-elected comittee should have the power to ask for changes to the game and force the developers to make those changes? It sounds like you are saying that, but of course that would be absurd.[/quote] Why? For me it's obvious that the elite must rule. And if somebody doesn't like it then stop playing....
[quote who="bonscott" reply="404" id="2625887"] Wall'o'text[/quote] I've read the entire thread so I know about Steam and Steamworks. It was an answer to the guy with the monkey/alien avatar that he would "never ever" buy a game that requires online activation. I just said that that is not a problem for me. Actually, I support it. 1 license/computer. Dale I w
Thinking in RTS terms and knowing the little work it takes to activate formations which achieve great results I'm negative towards it.
I cannot see how Elementals lore is similar to GalCivs. Was there a cataclysm in GalCiv? Was there multiple races AND different cultures? I just don't see the similarities at all.
WHY do people feel a need to say that faction X and race Y STOLE/RIPPED OFF faction A and race B?? I say that it doesn't matter at ALL to me. It's all about execution. Tasunke Cherrypicking parts of an argument doesn't work [e digicons]-_-[/e] Protoss are VERY durable. Their units tier for tier got like 2x to 3x the hitpoints of the other races. Eldar are fragile and got way less hitpoin
Eldar and Protoss Those two aren't alike at all. Only thing they have in common is that they are the elder hightech race with superior technology. Eldars armies are expensive, deal high damage, are very fast and focuses on ranged combat. They're fragile though. Protoss are also EXPENSIVE, got mostly ranged units and do high damage but they're very durable. They also got lots and lots of sp
Tyranids were created in 1993 Zerg were created in 1996 or 1997.

[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="113" id="2625665"]Another patch, another epic failure. Terran buffed again, protoss and zerg nerfed again. Terran is so OP now it isn't funny, yet they are continuously buffed ever more. Despite terran newbs screaming about void rays, they weren't OP at all. ALL AIR can be "OP" (ever been hit by a mass of banshees, or battlecruisers)? Yet the void ray was nerfed. At this point I have decided that Blizzard truly do

Turnbased fantasy strategy will once again have a great chance at becoming "GAME OF THE YEAR!" and "RUNNER UP TO GAME OF THE YEAR!"

Like the lairs in Majesty [e digicons]:)[/e] Every x seconds (I think) a creature that the lair could spawn were spawned and started to roam around.
My natural reaction to people demanding systemrequirements to be the same as a 5 year older game is: "Pfff get an upgrade, cheapskate!" But I don't care at all about what's needed to start the game. I care about what it takes to MAX it! [e digicons]:)[/e] And if your computer is teh suck, then you can play on clothmap.

Forgot to talk about Facebook and their "games"....Farmville....Mafia Wars....OMG!! Zynga (who makes that crap) almost beat out Bioware in The Escapists March Madness (vote for your gamecompany.)

[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="105" id="2613958"] Basically, they are the type people who think it's good to remove advanced user interface and automation elements from the game, so as to inject more tedious bullshit into it in order to "inject skill." Basically, they think the more clicks you are forced to do in order to do a tedious task, the better, where as I'd like tedium and "BS" minimized, automated, etc.[/quote] Agreed! Tho
