[Gameplay] Enhanced Tactical movement and pre-battle setup in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I like the idea of tactical battles, but I think there's a lot of untapped potential there. There are 2 things I'd like to see: 1. I really wish I could move units through spaces that are occupied by allied units. Basically the rule would be that you can move through a space occupied by an allied unit, but you can not end your movement in a square occupied by an allied unit. This is similar to the way tactical movement works in pen and paper RPGs like D&D.&

Reply to Elemental: A busy Wednesday in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote quoting="post"] Street Dates Elemental marks 2 of 2 in terms of broken street dates and it really biting us in the rear end. There’s a reason why most games today require you to install and get the instant update and are locked out until release day. It’s something we’re going to have to really think about in the future. With Demigod, one could have said it was a fluke. But with Elemental, it’s a pattern. [/quote] The problems t

Reply to An Open Letter to Brad Wardell and the Elemental Dev Team in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Devil's advocate here... The problem people have isn't that Stardock and Mr. Wardell don't "get it". Everyone who follows PC gaming knows that Stardock gets it.

If this is what the guys at Stardo

No Pirates mod? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

If it's possible, I think a no-pirates mod would be pretty popular, especially with newbs and more casual players. As a vet of RTS games, and a newb to Sins, I thus far have found the pirates to be the worst part of the game. I think they make the game [i]less fun[/i], and for me, they reduce interest in the game. I want to play to compete with other empires that play by the same rules I'm forced to follow; not some omnipotent pirate race with insta-fleet technology. I doubt I'm the

Restoring Race Defaults in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I just got GalCiv II the other day and I started out by playing a quick game. I changed the Terran race a little bit, but now I'd like to change it back to the default settings. However, there appears to be no way to do that. I can't find a button anywhere in the game to restore the races to their default settings. If that is the case, am I going to have to reinstall the game just to get the default settings back? And if so, the devs at stardock s
