The so called leaders of the world gathered in Copenhagen and wasted 4 days talking about whos time it was to talk, why country x was allowed to talk before country y and such.... We've had -14 C here in Sweden so this global warming thing I will believe when I see solid proof. In the meantime I'll side with the skeptics. Interesting the theory that the sun have been ignored as cause of our temperature.... And damn you who screw up the formatting

[quote who="Hortz" reply="23" id="2503967"] This is the most important part of the game, after all....[/quote] It's an important part, but how can you say it's the most important one..? I thought gameplay was the #1 priority for everyone. I can say this much to your defense though, that if you've played Heroes of Might & Magic III, there was this fandmade addon called "In the Wake of Gods" (or WoG for short) where you could di

[quote who="NickJames" reply="26" id="2502204"] I don't know how balance is these days but I'm sure the "elite" is whining as usual. The biggest whine going these days seems to be the space marines lacking a strong melee unit. People seem to think assault sm are to weak. I think the balance is pretty good. The consensus seems to be the Eldar are the strongest race atm. Imo the Eldar can be deadly, They are extremely difficult to use ef

2010 will not be the year of the Xbox360. Nor will it be the year of the Playstation 3. It will be the year of the PC! Reason? Supporting reasons are Elemental: War of Magic, Supreme Commander II, Mass Effect II, Mafia II, Max Payne III, Deus Ex III and DoW II: Chaos Rising<

NickJames They changed some pretty important things in the v.1.41 patch like making two versions of the Carnifex, disabling the building of the weakest Tyranid creature and adding the icons above the units heads. I don't know how balance is these days but I'm sure the "elite" is whining as usual.

Here's some detail about the races: SpaceMarines: "FOR THE EMPEROR!!!" Powerful but few squad members makes your squad last longer Customizability to respond to every possible threat.

[quote quoting="post"] Looking into 2010, what PC games are you most looking forward to for this next year? Being a strategy gamer, the biggest mass-market releases of strategy games are probably gonna be Starcraft and Napoleon: Total War .[/quote] Now it's correct. The pic further down is the answer

[quote who="starkers" reply="161" id="2492330"] A friend of my sister rushed out to get Crysis when it was first released... not thinking for one moment that he might have issues running it on his machine. It's not that his rig is a slouch (AMD Phenom 9650 @ 2.3/ATI 4870 1gb/6gb DDR2 1066 RAM), but rather that Crysis is far too advanced/fast/graphically intensive for his (slightly better than) average machine.

[quote quoting="post"] What should be included, however, is a catch up mechanism for a technologically backward civilization in the form of technology bleedback. Each time one civilization researches some advanced tech, it should reduce the cost of that tech for all following civilizations that it has contact with so as to reduce the likelihood of a research focused civilization breaking away from the rest of the pack to such a degree that other civilizations are incapable of catching u

I'm against the idea since I support the steamroller effect. I got this friend I play against in Age of Mythology which have never won a single game against me partly because he focuses on defense too much but also because he lacks routine (doesn't use hotkeys, don't understand the game in detail and is slow as molasses.) He basically allows me to take control of the map and lock him into his little corner of the map. It costs to have that control (Need to be on the offensive most of the time

WARNING!!! SUGGESTIVE THEMES!!! I feel a bit geeky for putting that warning up there but as this is a game companies board it may be necessary. http://www.cinemassacre.com/new/?p=2022 Got no idea how to get Gametrailer vidoes to embed so I just put up the link instead. You may know about Big Rigs Racing, E.T and Superman 64. But atleast those are games....this is a bunch of uninterruptible slide

Yeah, time flies unfortunetly [e digicons]:S[/e] I got online as late as 1999 and my first computer had Win98 so missed all that you're talking about. But then again, at that age I would not have been interested at all in textbased games. Hell, when I was 12 years old I didn't even like RTS. It was DOOM all the way [e digicons]|-)[/e]

What didn't you like about it? I'm guessing some people got put off by the realtime component but that's a fun twist to the traditional TCG.

It's a realtime version of Magic the Gathering and it's quite good. The manacrystals appear in regular intervals and you run over them pick them up. When you got enough mana you can cast your spells /cards. Mana regen automatically and the more you got, the faster you get it back. Each color only got 14 spells and you can choose 10. You can also have 2 colors and select one primary and one secondary color. The singleplayer experience is long and e

I guess that he (as many other non-computer literate people) believe them to be the best because of how it was in the old days of the AMD K.6-2 when AMD were crap. I know people I gamed with not wanting AMD simply because they have had bad experiences with their previous cpu generations. That has lived on until today though some (can't even guess how many) understand that AMD is just as good if not better then Intel today.

Votes 1-3 was easy but the rest is not accurate for me since I haven't played some of'em (but I know they're better then many others on the list.)

[quote who="tetleytea" reply="197" id="2491025"]Warlords Battlecry III. WL:BC2 was *awesome*, but BC3 has a really, really obvious bug with missile shooters. I can't believe they went gold with this crap. Did Ubisoft lay off the developers the same way 3DO did with Heroes IV? [/quote] What bug do you mean? I just think it has a bit bad design. WBC II was great back in its day but I can't enjoy it anymore due to the ancient

If you fail your quest it would be cool to have some drawback : a dragon appear, a city revolts, etc.[/quote] This is something I feel needs to be in. If you accept a quest then you have accepted responsibility and if you fail that, you need to be punished. In Age of Wonders Shadow Magic The Spirits of War/Order/Magic and Nature gave you quests and if you failed the fi
